whatever you're trying to do here because I personally am not familiar with them.

You didn't specify you were talking about the US. I was simply pointing out that your audience includes people from outside the US. People that are tired of Americans acting like they are the default people of the internet.

As far as I understand it, the baby boom is a particularly US term.

It happened across the western world. It had honestly not a lot to do with WWII, and actually was caused by Demographic Transition due to factors like healthcare improvements, better food supply from improved farming techniques, better sanitation, etc. Essentially, it wasn't "let's have more babies" it was "all the babies we're having are surviving to adulthood oops". Not having another great war 20 years later also helped.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
