By "like this" I assume anon means "this bad at raising their kids to be sane and decent people".

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (53 children)

If anon's parents are boomers, wouldn't that make them at least thirty?

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.

The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.

And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

It's ironic that wanting to use one's own brain makes someone a "boomer." I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that's one trait that I've seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.

But yeah, oof.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Conversely, I find in general anyone born before 1985 is more Gen X than millennial.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Its okay. Hope the people younger then me have fun however they can. Play safe yall, the world is a dangerous place.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

1980 here. I consider myself genx. I'm on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that's where millennial begins.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

I’m on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter

Please explain that to my genX parents who need to read some new books and watch some new shows...

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Yep, that sounds familiar

Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

Boomermaxxing

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

You're never too old to practice Standmaxxing™️!

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nope, it's short for "baby boomer."

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

TIL I've been Sitmaxxing my entire life. I never miss an opportunity.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago

I love sitting so fucking much. 99% of my jobs have been on my feet for the whole day.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 9 points 2 months ago

I'm liedownmaxxing, not sleepmaxing, just liedownmaxxing.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

TIL there's a thing called standmaxing...

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 45 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You can -maxx pretty much anything nowadays. I'm currently replymaxxing

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual additional opportunities to *. Then, if they do not take advantage of it, claim they are only *-averaging.

Anyway, I posted this zero seconds ago and I don't see a reply yet.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 7 points 2 months ago

I saw some graffiti that simply read "DEATHMAXXING?" and I still think about that pretty regularly

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Standmaxxing will be required at my funeral.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

At my funeral there will be no seats. Only other empty coffins i has rented for my special occasion. Everyone will get to lay in a coffin with me at the same time.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

Bro wasn't standmaxxing, he was standgooning.

[–] null@lemmy.org 14 points 2 months ago

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago

OOP should've made his stand fight his dad. Smh

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Good ol’ religion. Compliance or being beaten. Like if god would actually give a shit if you stood.

[–] housedogpartyfavor@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

nobody who uses the term maxxing has a boomer for a parent

[–] TheFerrango@lemmings.world 3 points 1 month ago

The dad was beatmaxxing
