I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook.

I skipped those, but I’m about to ruin whatever new platform my kids get in to.

As an elder 40-something, I agree with you. Problem is, the economy doesn’t. I’ll be working until I die. In the meantime, I need the memes to help keep me numb to all the shit going in around me. Please don’t take those away from me. It’s all I have anymore.

bobs_monkey @lemm.ee I do enjoy a round of golf. And have you ever played shuffleboard? It's quite fun, especially on a cruise.
Shit.

Viking_Hippie @lemmy.world A lot of us are, yeah. Even with young whippersnappers like yourself fizzing around on your electrified skateboards and what have you, I'm pretty sure the average age here on Lemmy is closer to 40 than 30 🤷

Implying we aren't mostly disgruntled boomers here.

I'm pretty sure we're mostly disgruntled Millennials and Gen-X'ers.
Anyhow, it looks like TikTok might finally be heading towards some sort of ban or regulation in the US, so maybe it'll get killed by the Boomers but in a different way.

Why? It’s a time-honored parenting tradition. And one that doesn’t involve child abuse.

Viking_Hippie @lemmy.world I'm told that the joy of embarrassing your children is the main upside of parenting, actually.
Like being Michael Scott/David Brent of The Office on purpose and they have to be the long-suffering employees of Dunder-Mifflin/Wernham Hogg.
Because no matter how much you play the oaf, some fool still allowed you to be in charge of something important 😁
