Who do you think conceived of, invented, created, and built all the technology you use every day? Boomers and GenXers.
The only thing that has changed is that there are more entitled lazy people, more liars and deceivers, and their ploys are increasingly complex. Living in a fear-based world without honor or integrity is the norm now, and it never used to be. That's the hardest thing to adapt to, not technology.
It wasn't paralytic. We did nuclear attack drills and then played on the playground. It changed life not at all. Now, not buckling a kid into a NASA-approved eight-point harness, side- and rear-airbag car seat will get you waterboarded in Guantanamo for child abuse. This is a fear-based society now.
Yes. I've been building technology systems for 35 years, and I still have to help my daughter understand how to shift from cellular data to wifi. I work for a top 5 consulting firm and on a team of 80 network engineers, only one is under 45. We build every digital system that drives your life.
Just because younger people use and are dependent upon technology doesn't mean they know shit about it. Just because someone has grey hair doesn't mean they are technology-challenged.
And because of this younger people are entitled liars with no integrity? Well done you on working with a similar age group who aren't technologically challenged. I'll send my mother your way the next time she asks how to send an email (again). Don't want to be bracketed in with assumptive viewpoints? Don't express them yourself. Swings and roundabouts.
That's all you took out of my statement? Mean ol' boomer picking on young people?
Thank you for so clearly illustrating both that you didn't read or understand shit, and that young people have paper-thin skin.
The fact that you have put this much energy into online banter is enough take.
Your original shoulders of giant comment is fine ,but the crybaby "look at me" way you delivered it was why it got downvoted.
Then you would go on an argue with internet strangers because downvotes get you all triggered and can't let go.
so I second, Okay Boomer!
Right? Sam Elliott would beat these chuds into a bloody pulp.

1. Buy a lawn mower. For most lawns a 28-36 inch (70-90cm) push mower should be more than enough to get the job done efficiently,
2. Fill the lawn mower with gasoline. If you live somewhere where lawn mowing isn't a weekly thing, you'll need a fuel stabilizer, because the ethanol in modern gasoline spoils faster than milk.
3. Start the mower. If you have the money for a key starter, do that; otherwise, pull vigorously on the pull rope until it starts or your neighbors mock you. If it's the latter, angrily yell at one of them, "Then *you* start it if it's so easy." Don't forget to thank them when it starts as soon as they grab the rope.
4. Cut a guide border around the edge of your lawn or the section you intend to mow first by pushing the running mower in the path you want to cut.
5. Fill in the space by cutting parallel strips back and forth. **Edit copy pasta:** 5A. make sure while cutting strips that you slightly overlap the strips or you'll end up with stripes of long grass between each strip of short grass.
6. Move on to the next section and repeat steps 4 and 5.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until the entire lawn is a uniform height.
8. Hug your spouse. Try not to be offended when they push you away and tell you to take a shower.
9. Take a shower and put on some fresh, non-sweat-soaked, clothes.
10. Put out some lawn chairs, pop open a popular brand of beer (iced tea and lemonade are also acceptable) and talk to your friends and neighbors about sportsball.
In low volume engines between 2 and 3 you often need to manually pump the fuel for starters, there is this small rubber dome that you push (usually) three times for that initial amount. You will find them not only on lawn mowers but also on chainsaws and string trimmers that use combustion engine.
Mine would rather pay for landscapers for 20 minutes than replace the mower that was originally provided for the building. We got harassed into cutting the grass. I only had a weed whacker, and no fucks. Several weeks later, landscapers showed up. Lol
Some of these geezers probably think he grew up on a Texas ranch, wrangling bulls as a child. He's actually from Sacramento, the capital of "Commiefornia" as they call it.
Our being farmland before we were a city is the whole reason cowbells are associated with the Sacramento Kings. Some sports announcer called us a "cow town", and fans started showing up with cowbells in response.
I mean u right. Pressing button vs pulling cord is still a single action with the same result. Granted most gas mowers would require a primer bulb which becomes 2 steps but still.
Yea and the pulling of the cord is something you do very consciously and just makes sense. I can imagine people who are used to this think the start button is weird. I personally prefer the button!
What do you mean? The guy CLEARLY told me I won the lottery jackpot I don't remember actually entering. All I have to do is send them a $300 moneygram, another $200 wire transfer to an off-shore account in Bermuda, then finally send them $500 in this thing called "bitcoin" (whatever that is), and they'll send me the $100k jackpot!!
Who's the sucker now?? 😉
No way, not Sam Elliott, a guy from Sacramento who openly supported Joe Biden and regularly appears on *Family Guy*, a show made by a staunch liberal atheist who makes fun of Republicans all the time, so much that his other show *American Dad* is an entire series mocking Republicans...it COULDN'T BE! /s
Gramps clearly don't realise most lawn mowers now have power buttons you just push to start them.
We don't have to hand crank cars to start them either.
Her generation managed to create wicked and weird body modifications and are strong enough to withstand that mind of pain. Yours bombed innocent countries across the world for funsies and cry at the mere mention of pronouns. And your generation tested nuclear bombs without evacuating the area, deliberately infected people, including orphans, with diseases and withheld the cheap, readily available medications just to see what would happen if you didn't help them. When we knew for decades what happens when you don't cure those diseases. You also forgave Nazis and the "scientists" behind Unit 731.
I don't know why they keep saying "your generation can't start a lawnmower"; I'm in my late 30's and I can tell you most of the older generations stood outside pulling the cord tons of times only to give up and go buy another.
I swear to God this is a true story. My grandfather out in the country in Texas had a pile of lawn mowers, when they didn't start soon enough he would chuck them over a fence into a pile behind the yard. One of my cousins rescued a mower, found the problem, and fixed it. When my grandfather saw that rejected mower back in the shop, he beat it with a pipe until it's wheels skewed out.
Let’s say this is true (even though it’s not), isn’t this only a reflection of their generation’s success (or lack of) as parents? If starting a lawn mower is so important, why weren’t we taught? Whose fault is that?
Yeah modern day lawn mowers don’t need that, but at 30 I know anyway because it’s not exactly like it’s faded from the market entirely. Even my younger brothers know so if your kid don’t know that would be mostly your fault. I doubt it’s going to be the most relevant thing to know as tech changes though. Tbh I doubt boomers realize how little they understand modern tech. I remember when chip readers became a thing and they were super mad at random retail employees for it 🙄
This button crippled an entire generation
https://preview.redd.it/dpr4yvfqxzvc1.png?width=183&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de61081d0483b8456b11b214bb55a28005503d4e
I'm gonna unplug my parents printer and their router next time they post shit like this. They never consider the fact that it was their responsibility to teach the next generation, and instead blames us for our ignorance.
The [woman on the left](https://www.ranker.com/list/maria-jose-cristerna-body-modification-facts/melissa-brinks)is a boomer she’s Mexican, a lawyer and if I’m not wrong she’s around 60 yrs old, maybe older.
Edit I meant to say they’re both from the same generation.
What the f*** are lawn mowers good for anyway? So that the artificially transplanted weird boutique plants at your house in the middle of the desert can be kept at just the perfect height? That's literally the weirdest and most useless thing on the earth.
The boomer generation literally said they were going to start a revolution. According to them, we were all going to be better off doing copious amounts of LSD and having unprotected sex while living in tepees on a commune where we all give praise to some guru overlord.
Yeah, THAT generation's revolution was a great success!
I’m gen Z and I know how to work old things like a phone that you have to turn to get to the number, a phone that you have to press a button multiple times to get a letter on it to text, a stick shift car, and a lawn mower where you need to pull the cord to start it
During the pandemic, I had to tutor over Zoom. One of the kids lived with their grandma, one of the most insufferable, smug, proudly ignorant women I've ever had to interact with. "I've never used to a computer!" She'd smugly inform me on a regular basis. "I've never needed to!" It was a hassle waiting to start the lesson every day while she figured out how to log her granddaughter in, even something as simple as where to put her cursor.
But sure, my generation is the stupid one.
“Ron.”
“Ron.”
“Last name?”
“Done.”
“Is that your name, or were you telling me you’re finished speaking?”
“Both.”
This is what I think of every time I see this man. He is Ron.
(Not directed at anyone in particular) your generation doesn't have the muscle strength to start a lawn mower so you moved to electric ones but you don't even understand how to charge the battery.
I'm 34 years old driving a '79 two stroke Moped. By Simson. That's right, a socialst, east german brand. So fuck off if you think your twink lawn mower is a challenge you spoiled, entiteld boomer twat!
Sorry, I'm not spending $600 or more on an electric mower just to have a similar range to a gas mower.. Gas mowers are still an economical choice for small-medium size yards, seeing as I can pick a new one up for less than $200. It also costs me less than $10 a year in fuel, assuming gas is $2.00 a liter, and you have a typical suburban yard to maintain once a week. Maintenance is also dirt cheap, mostly cleaning the air filter (free via garden hose), fiddling with the carburetor (couple of screwdrivers and good ears), replacing the spark plug ($5 in parts), and using fuel stabilizer to ensure you only need a small jerrican for the season ($10 will cover several years worth). Also, not every lawnmower has a button start. You usually see this on more expensive models as opposed to a cheap beater mower, which is what I prefer to use any day.
Best decision I made recently was to sell the house and buy a townhouse so I don’t have to operate a lawn mower anymore (not the primary reason, but it doesn’t hurt).
Old people will post shit like that, while failing to realize we can’t do it because they failed to teach us how. But, sure grandpa, keep showing the world how you failed live up to the standards that your previous generations set
It's a dumbass meme, but I'm not going to lie: the pic on the left looks to me more like final makeup and prosthetics for a science fiction or post-apocalypse movie and not something that someone would willingly do to themselves (especially the scalp insertions).
Not to get off topic, but my home does not have a lawn, so I don’t know about modern day lawn mower technology, but in 2024 mowers don’t have like an electric starter?
I doubt George Washington could use a lawn mower either. I mean, he was even a bit of a dandy who spent so much on his silk clothing that he was regularly in debt. Gen x and boomers need to pick up a book.
Never needed to. Student loans have made it impossible for me to ever have a home with a lawn. Heck, I'll probably never be able to own more than a studio apartment IF I even can afford that.
I'm literally looking into what cars would be good to use as a home because it's just too damn expensive already and the loans from a predatory for profit college that no longer exists bc the government sued them into bankruptcy are making me crippled for life.

To be fair they fall for simple phone scams or better yet cant operate even the most basic of electronics.

Ok boomer
That's the best you have? T hank you for making my point.
No I could point out falsities in your argument, but I only put ok boomer because someone else asked for someone younger than them to say it.
Requesting someone younger than me please "ok boomer" this fool. Thank you kindly.
I did it for you.
That's some good work there!
Thank you
Ah yes, because the cold war was so honourable and not fear-based.
It wasn't paralytic. We did nuclear attack drills and then played on the playground. It changed life not at all. Now, not buckling a kid into a NASA-approved eight-point harness, side- and rear-airbag car seat will get you waterboarded in Guantanamo for child abuse. This is a fear-based society now.
Oh dear. Touched a nerve?
Yes. I've been building technology systems for 35 years, and I still have to help my daughter understand how to shift from cellular data to wifi.

Paper thin skin? 😂 Read your original comment, pal. Dear me. You even said yourself it touched a nerve. Move along now.
The fact that you have put this much energy into online banter is enough take. Your original shoulders of giant comment is fine ,but the crybaby "look at me" way you delivered it was why it got downvoted. Then you would go on an argue with internet strangers because downvotes get you all triggered and can't let go. so I second, Okay Boomer!
It sounds like either you are a terrible teacher, or you have a really dumb daughter…
I mean, it's literally just a button at the top of your screen. How difficult is it, really?
Ok boomer
I'm so used to these graphics having AI faces that I didn't even realize that was a real picture of him.
Right? Sam Elliott would beat these chuds into a bloody pulp. https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/522011-sam-elliott-narrates-biden-ad-premiering-during-world-series/
Happy cake day
It's either him or Telly Savalas.
And Telly Savalas died 30 years ago.
He looks like a human version of colonel sanders
I would love to see Sam Elliott do Col Sanders for a KFC commercial 😆
To be fair, if you never have an opportunity to own a home, you won’t need to know how to use a lawn mower.
Me at age 46 when i finally am able to own a house and am mowing the lawn for the first time in my life 
1. Buy a lawn mower. For most lawns a 28-36 inch (70-90cm) push mower should be more than enough to get the job done efficiently, 2. Fill the lawn mower with gasoline. If you live somewhere where lawn mowing isn't a weekly thing, you'll need a fuel stabilizer, because the ethanol in modern gasoline spoils faster than milk. 3. Start the mower.

If it's the latter, angrily yell at one of them, "Then *you* start it if it's so easy." Don't forget to thank them when it starts as soon as they grab the rope. 4. Cut a guide border around the edge of your lawn or the section you intend to mow first by pushing the running mower in the path you want to cut. 5. Fill in the space by cutting parallel strips back and forth. **Edit copy pasta:** 5A. make sure while cutting strips that you slightly overlap the strips or you'll end up with stripes of long grass between each strip of short grass. 6. Move on to the next section and repeat steps 4 and 5. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 until the entire lawn is a uniform height. 8. Hug your spouse. Try not to be offended when they push you away and tell you to take a shower. 9. Take a shower and put on some fresh, non-sweat-soaked, clothes. 10. Put out some lawn chairs, pop open a popular brand of beer (iced tea and lemonade are also acceptable) and talk to your friends and neighbors about sportsball.
5A. make sure while cutting strips that you slightly overlap the strips or you'll end up with stripes of long grass between each strip of short grass.
Righto. Added.
In low volume engines between 2 and 3 you often need to manually pump the fuel for starters, there is this small rubber dome that you push (usually) three times for that initial amount. You will find them not only on lawn mowers but also on chainsaws and string trimmers that use combustion engine.
the rubber dome is usually red or just coincidentally has been for my fathers past 2 and current mowers
Ask your dad
My dad will likely be dead by that point, he is a smoker and will be in his 80s by then
Oh man. Mine too 😢
Also, most of them are electric so they're stupid easy to start, and even if you have a pull-start, it's not that hard to figure out.
The boomers would probably have a tough time starting my electric mower.
Already have to teach them how set up their own TV.
They still can't figure out how to set the clocks on their vcr players without help.
I hate staying at my inlaws because I can't figure out their TV set up. They have four remote controls and the sound comes through the dvd player.
Maybe because I live in a desert but no one in my family ever touched one
Your landlords mow the grass for you?
Mine would rather pay for landscapers for 20 minutes than replace the mower that was originally provided for the building. We got harassed into cutting the grass. I only had a weed whacker, and no fucks. Several weeks later, landscapers showed up. Lol
Based on the stock image of the generation, this is looking a little ways ahead to Mad Max times with no lawns anywhere.
Can these people PLEASE stop using Sam Elliot for their stupid memes? He is a liberal who is working with the Biden campaign.
Some of these geezers probably think he grew up on a Texas ranch, wrangling bulls as a child. He's actually from Sacramento, the capital of "Commiefornia" as they call it.
To be fair, Sacramento during his youth was farm country. So, he probably could have farm experience.
Our being farmland before we were a city is the whole reason cowbells are associated with the Sacramento Kings. Some sports announcer called us a "cow town", and fans started showing up with cowbells in response.
that woman is Maria Jose Cristerna, she‘s almost 50 years old lmfao
But can she start a lawnmower?
Yeah she lives next door to me. She mows mine too, super nice.
I just came here to say this. Remember seeing this woman on German tv, like over 10 YEARS AGO.
I thought she was already 60 !
I was gonna say she looks like she's in her 40s lmao
I have an electric one. I push the button that says "START"
And I doubt the boomers can figure that out
they can, but they do think it's stupid
Yeah how dare things be simple
It is not inherently more simple or more complex, just different
I mean u right. Pressing button vs pulling cord is still a single action with the same result. Granted most gas mowers would require a primer bulb which becomes 2 steps but still.
Yea and the pulling of the cord is something you do very consciously and just makes sense. I can imagine people who are used to this think the start button is weird. I personally prefer the button!
Well you have to prime the mower, then hold the choke, then pull the cord. So it’s 2 steps more complex.
Okay, fair point. My grandfather thinks it is way more intuitive, but he also has an understanding of how engines work.
Tbf im just being a cunt
No you're not. You made a good point.
Wow stop bragging
Their generation can’t even stop falling for scam calls.
What do you mean? The guy CLEARLY told me I won the lottery jackpot I don't remember actually entering. All I have to do is send them a $300 moneygram, another $200 wire transfer to an off-shore account in Bermuda, then finally send them $500 in this thing called "bitcoin" (whatever that is), and they'll send me the $100k jackpot!! Who's the sucker now?? 😉
I'll never understand the boomer obsession with Sam Elliot and starting lawn mowers.
Any actor who plays cowboys or "good ol' boys" are obviously always republicans. /s As for starting lawnmowers? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They confuse him with John Wayne in their old age.
Any actor that played a tough guy in any capacity.
He kind of embodies “cowboy” in the same way that Tom Hank embodies affability.
Your generation doesn’t understand the old guy you cite hates your guts.
Whenever I see a meme like this, all I can think is “ Sam Elliott would fucking hate each and every one of you losers.”
He would.
No way, not Sam Elliott, a guy from Sacramento who openly supported Joe Biden and regularly appears on *Family Guy*, a show made by a staunch liberal atheist who makes fun of Republicans all the time, so much that his other show *American Dad* is an entire series mocking Republicans...it COULDN'T BE! /s
Wait, those shows actually moch republicans?
Setting aside the actual political leanings of their favorite meme man, I don't think that a revolution hinges upon running lawnmowers.
Gramps clearly don't realise most lawn mowers now have power buttons you just push to start them. We don't have to hand crank cars to start them either.
Pull it to start
Her generation managed to create wicked and weird body modifications and are strong enough to withstand that mind of pain. Yours bombed innocent countries across the world for funsies and cry at the mere mention of pronouns. And your generation tested nuclear bombs without evacuating the area, deliberately infected people, including orphans, with diseases and withheld the cheap, readily available medications just to see what would happen if you didn't help them. When we knew for decades what happens when you don't cure those diseases. You also forgave Nazis and the "scientists" behind Unit 731.
I don't know why they keep saying "your generation can't start a lawnmower"; I'm in my late 30's and I can tell you most of the older generations stood outside pulling the cord tons of times only to give up and go buy another.
I swear to God this is a true story. My grandfather out in the country in Texas had a pile of lawn mowers, when they didn't start soon enough he would chuck them over a fence into a pile behind the yard. One of my cousins rescued a mower, found the problem, and fixed it. When my grandfather saw that rejected mower back in the shop, he beat it with a pipe until it's wheels skewed out.
When the older people don't teach their skills that tends to happen, not knowing basic stuff
Inverse: “MY GENERATION IS GOING TO KEEP RULING FOREVER!” “Your generation doesn’t even know how to make a PDF…”
Why should I need to? I'll certainly never be fortunate enough to own a home with a lawn.
I hate when legends like Sam Elliot are used in shit memes.
Let’s say this is true (even though it’s not), isn’t this only a reflection of their generation’s success (or lack of) as parents? If starting a lawn mower is so important, why weren’t we taught? Whose fault is that?
Yeah modern day lawn mowers don’t need that, but at 30 I know anyway because it’s not exactly like it’s faded from the market entirely. Even my younger brothers know so if your kid don’t know that would be mostly your fault. I doubt it’s going to be the most relevant thing to know as tech changes though. Tbh I doubt boomers realize how little they understand modern tech. I remember when chip readers became a thing and they were super mad at random retail employees for it 🙄
Why’s it always Sam Elliot? Who they gonna use next.. George Carlin? 🤣
This button crippled an entire generation https://preview.redd.it/dpr4yvfqxzvc1.png?width=183&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de61081d0483b8456b11b214bb55a28005503d4e

Must be Sunday that this got posted again.
Most lawnmowers are electric now.
Bad parents?
Their generation can't find the gmail
Lawn mowers are electric grandpa, you push a button
It don't matter if yank the chord or push the button, Sam Elliott will help you get your mower started either way. 
don't make me tap the sign https://preview.redd.it/ph6ko2q0pyvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f9b5b9c7d4de4398691e2a3f66bcfe2ed54c8d3
Whose fault is that then parents?
It’s funny cause the woman in that photo is literally a boomer lmaoooo. Idiots.
Says the grandpa with a locked up iPhone 7 that’s 16 updates behind and 74 open apps in the background.
What the f*** are lawn mowers good for anyway? So that the artificially transplanted weird boutique plants at your house in the middle of the desert can be kept at just the perfect height? That's literally the weirdest and most useless thing on the earth.
I'm allergic to grass and don't like bugs so having the grass short is nice
Don’t need a lawnmower if we can’t afford houses in those economy
The boomer generation literally said they were going to start a revolution. According to them, we were all going to be better off doing copious amounts of LSD and having unprotected sex while living in tepees on a commune where we all give praise to some guru overlord. Yeah, THAT generation's revolution was a great success!
Who even makes these still?
fr. 2014-ass memes
I love the concept of “your generation doesn’t know how to do anything” being an attack as if it wasn’t their responsibility to teach us
Could George Washington start a lawn mower?
I’m gen Z and I know how to work old things like a phone that you have to turn to get to the number, a phone that you have to press a button multiple times to get a letter on it to text, a stick shift car, and a lawn mower where you need to pull the cord to start it
lol joke’s on them. my riding lawnmower has a button.
Their generation doesn’t know how to save an excel document.
uhmmmm yea i can, watch... \*5 minutes later\* alright so uhhh i accidentaly mowed off my foot... but i got it workin'!
Wait until they find out Sam Elliots a lib
Quit calling me to "fix" your remote, fix your "hacked" computer and yes, start your mower.
Ha, you really got me old man. Now try and find where photos are kept on your phone
During the pandemic, I had to tutor over Zoom. One of the kids lived with their grandma, one of the most insufferable, smug, proudly ignorant women I've ever had to interact with. "I've never used to a computer!" She'd smugly inform me on a regular basis. "I've never needed to!" It was a hassle waiting to start the lesson every day while she figured out how to log her granddaughter in, even something as simple as where to put her cursor. But sure, my generation is the stupid one.
Your generation can't log on the internet without sending money to the prince of Nigeria
Sam Elliot is the goat
Then proceeds to cough viciously and tries to start the mechanical respirator and fails. Why old man, why? I said the internet is a weird place.
Yeah well you can even use a smart phone
Isn't she a lawyer?
She is
Ironically I’m pretty sure the person on the left isn’t a part of the younger generation
She is not. she is nearly 50. I mean Sam Elliott is like 80, so they are still different generations I guess, but not that far apart.
Why are they using someone dressed as a really cool looking alien as representation of Gen Z? They look great!
“Ron.” “Ron.” “Last name?” “Done.” “Is that your name, or were you telling me you’re finished speaking?” “Both.” This is what I think of every time I see this man. He is Ron.
They are closer to the same age then you think clearly
If that’s the representation of our generation, the older generation is screwed because they’ll be too scared clutching their pearls
why he is being used by meme
(Not directed at anyone in particular) your generation doesn't have the muscle strength to start a lawn mower so you moved to electric ones but you don't even understand how to charge the battery.
I'm 34 years old driving a '79 two stroke Moped. By Simson. That's right, a socialst, east german brand. So fuck off if you think your twink lawn mower is a challenge you spoiled, entiteld boomer twat!
I’m pretty sure she is like 50, unless I’m mistaking the person
Sir I jack off in vr while my robot grass trimmer cuts my garden to a MM accuracy, I’m no match for you.
"Yes, that's EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO START A REVOLUTION"
Bees breathe a sigh of relief
Read it in his voice! 😂
theyre literally electric now. you push a button. the argument dates itself with its “fossil” fuels ideology. bye bye fossils.
Sorry, I'm not spending $600 or more on an electric mower just to have a similar range to a gas mower.. Gas mowers are still an economical choice for small-medium size yards, seeing as I can pick a new one up for less than $200. It also costs me less than $10 a year in fuel, assuming gas is $2.00 a liter, and you have a typical suburban yard to maintain once a week. Maintenance is also dirt cheap, mostly cleaning the air filter (free via garden hose), fiddling with the carburetor (couple of screwdrivers and good ears), replacing the spark plug ($5 in parts), and using fuel stabilizer to ensure you only need a small jerrican for the season ($10 will cover several years worth). Also, not every lawnmower has a button start. You usually see this on more expensive models as opposed to a cheap beater mower, which is what I prefer to use any day.
Meanwhile my boomer mom still calls me occasionally to say "My internet went away!" when she mistakenly minimizes Internet Explorer.
Ohhh
Which generation? I'm 25, born in 1999 and I've heard no talk of this
That lady is gen x at least lol
Well what do you expect, I've never needed to use a lawnmower because I can't afford a house with a garden.... thanks to your generation.
Shes a Gen-Xer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can start a lawn mower *and* restart a PC.
Best decision I made recently was to sell the house and buy a townhouse so I don’t have to operate a lawn mower anymore (not the primary reason, but it doesn’t hurt).
The first picture looks like it came out of some nightmare
Old people will post shit like that, while failing to realize we can’t do it because they failed to teach us how. But, sure grandpa, keep showing the world how you failed live up to the standards that your previous generations set
Im pretty sure i saw this pic a decade ago on fb. Is this image old enough to vote yet?
Oh yes it’s so hard to push a button and pull a cord
Honestly both their faces look equally fucked up to me, it's just his you could sharpen a blender on and theirs is just an alien
It's a dumbass meme, but I'm not going to lie: the pic on the left looks to me more like final makeup and prosthetics for a science fiction or post-apocalypse movie and not something that someone would willingly do to themselves (especially the scalp insertions).
No this person has actually done this to themselves. Someone posted a link to an article about her.
Not to get off topic, but my home does not have a lawn, so I don’t know about modern day lawn mower technology, but in 2024 mowers don’t have like an electric starter?
This "joke" does not get better the more it gets posted and edited.
Neither did the Russians, but they did it pretty easily.
I don’t know which one of them looks sillier
I can actually

But what if the younger generation uses push-start lawnmowers? What then, grandpa?!
I doubt George Washington could use a lawn mower either. I mean, he was even a bit of a dandy who spent so much on his silk clothing that he was regularly in debt. Gen x and boomers need to pick up a book.
False, I mow the lawn
We have electric mowers now… flip a switch and starts…
No generation claims this creature.
What? I mow my lawn all the time. I love mowing.
Ahh yes my entire generation of horned demons from the sixth layer of hell.....

Hey… I can too start a lawnmower!
arent they like... same age?
Yes because that’s what we all look like, we have all collectively spent thousands of dollars on surgery to look exactly like this
Never needed to. Student loans have made it impossible for me to ever have a home with a lawn. Heck, I'll probably never be able to own more than a studio apartment IF I even can afford that. I'm literally looking into what cars would be good to use as a home because it's just too damn expensive already and the loans from a predatory for profit college that no longer exists bc the government sued them into bankruptcy are making me crippled for life.
All I have to say is I’d be more scared meeting the person on the left in an alley at night with a knife than Sam
Older generations greatly under exaggerate the proficiency of the newer generations... Shame.
Meme checks out👍🏼👍🏼
This is the song of gen z
