People still fall for the "generational" bait?

The American generational names only exist because the person who gets to name the new name get a ton of cash to spread the definition, even though those definitions are completely arbitrary.

That looks like an edited picture of a human to me.

Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”

Red eye happens because of the flash. So still happens on digital cameras. It’s just nowadays they automatically detect and correct for it after the shot has taken. Or some cameras can do a pre flash before the flash for the shot fires or a light turns on when you half press the shutter button. That way the pupil will shrink and less light will enter the pupil and not light up the back of the eye.

I hate cameras that do the pre-flash with a burning passion, there's a period in time where every (flash) photo of me either has me with my eyes closed or visibly straining to keep them open.

The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.

Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we'll officially transition to "30s to mid 40s."

Even the digitals you had in the 00's didn't have very good red eye correction (if any at all)

My oldest nephew was born in 2003 and I was still having to manually remove red eye using Paintshop Pro 7 from my mum's digital photos of him when was about 6 or 7.

"Millenials" just means "people younger than me" now.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And at the same time, “boomer” means anyone over 50, somehow. Soon I will be a boomerlennial.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

As a Xennial, this terrifies me, but I'm thankful I'm old enough to dodge the draft when the first round happens.

I hope I never have to utilize the skills GI Joe taught me.

Boomer forgot how millennials are old enough to have had to have film developed.

Red eyes also happen on digital photos.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Well you gotta stop taking photos of me just after I've smoked a fat joint, man!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Pissed the hell out of my boomer photography enthusiast dad. Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.

Mate I'm a millennial and I had my photos developed at the chemists. You're thinking of gen z.

How, uh, young do you think millennial are exactly? Pretty much all of us were around for cameras before phones.
