Oh shit we’re reposting millenial-boomer memes off facebook now huh
Lemmy is truly a mainstream service now
You might want to reread it. There’s been a bit of rearranging of words.
“But I’m in such a hurry up shit on the platform I’m posting on!!”
I hope this is AI generated.
People downvoting this either didn’t read it or don’t understand that this is mocking the original image.
My curfew was garden hose
I mean come on. This is clearly not meant to be taken seriously, and the fact that it is may be a testament to OP’s editing skills or those of whoever OP got the post from.
My wife and I are both 90s kids and none of this really resonated with us. This is a dumb meme and is hard to read.
I think its actually satire of a boomer mene
Apart from the terrible grammar?
Same… I don’t understand what half of this even is saying. How is a garden hose a curfew? Parents turning off the water to let you know to come inside? If anything curfews themselves are more of a 90s thing because your parents couldn’t just call or text you to come home. I was always out on my bike exploring the neighborhood with my friends, with my only instructions “Be back by 6”.
It’s absurdist humor.
Yes it’s making fun of the originals that get passed around by people on Facebook, who think saying “I drank from the garden hose” makes them some damned icon that we should all strive to emulate.
Which is why I love this post! Makes me want to play conkers and fight my teacher again.
I’m a 90s kid but don’t use Facebook except as Craigslist for selling things.
“I drank from the garden hose” is a way to say you’re from the 90s? What?.. what other stupid things are they saying? Do people not do this now? And they didn’t in the 80s? Were the 90s peak lawn?
No it’s more just claiming superiority over current generations because their childhood was more ‘real’ or some shit. Same as people talking about how they played outside all day, how their parents beat the shit out of them when they were disrespectful, how they didn’t play video games, etc. These are usually followed with comments about how “the world has gone to shit” and “kids these days are so much worse.”
Oh, that whole thing. Every generation has to put up with that. I don’t really want to be a cranky old man.
I drank from the garden hose in the 80s. Probably the 70s, too - I don’t remember.

As an 80s kid all I have to say is OK BOOMER
If you don’t get it, reconsider viewing it through a lens of extreme satire
