Nah. Young people just see an old and call them a boomer.

Which was genX?

Boomer acting like a GenX, in a Gen Z meme!? Whatever.

You just learn how to live with it.

Or do not :)

IIRC, Gen-X was the first generation in the US with a suicide epidemic.

EDIT: Nope. It's officially Gen-Z's title. Congrats?

Based on anecdotal evidence (aka the people I know including myself) millenials joking about suicide fits quite well.

Gen Y had suicide jokes for a while now with similar looks from boomers. Meme feels more like passing the torch to Gen Z as they're starting to do it too.

Maybe the loss of third spaces and the commodification of living has turned the joy of the human experience and connection into something unachievable by many.

Yeah, no. It depends on the task.

I dont need repetition i need more time and resources to be with the people I love and build community with those around me.

I wish AI could do repetitive tasks, but it actually can't repeat things identically very well.

I got to manually and individually rename 400 files using a complex series of rules the other day. It was glorious

100 years ago, each family worked 40 hours of wage labour a week, plus childrearing and chores

Today, each family works 80 hours of wage labour a week, plus childrearing and chores

In order to restore the labour rights of 100 years ago, I propose a 20 hour work week!

I agree wholeheartedly -- inspiration and creativity are usually spawned out of boredom and inspiration. In years gone by, humans spent most of their time bored, and inventing ways out of their boredom. The boredom happened during menial tasks, and the inspiration happened during the leisure time.

By removing the ability of humans to be bored, and reducing their time to be independently inspired whilst bombarding them with never-ending content, that's likely going to have long lasting effects on how humans develop and think

who cares

Meh
