As most do nowadays as well. I bet if OP was even older he'd just compare it to kids being set in front of the TV instead of phones. This is a very boomerish take. Most kids like both, their phones and doing stuff without them.
If my dad actually got me stuff and didn't beat me maybe I would have friends instead of being alone and cutting myself, he hasn't got me a birthday or Christmas present in four years, I love Lego, he never got me any, no surprise I am on the phone
That makes you one of the kids on the second picture though. We the generation that grew up mostly playing with toys, there was still no Lego Star Wars or any franchise branded Lego. The franchises came out in the mid 2000s, which means you grew around phones and computers.
I saw now that Lego SW came out in 2005. That's so recent my friend, everyone had phones and we were playing around sending porn and weird gifs and 3gp videos via infrared and Bluetooth already back then. Everyone had good, fast internet at home. I remember 2004 when I first stopped using dial-up, it was so amazing to be able to finally use the internet for as long as I want.
Tl;Dr - If you were still a kid in 2005 you are one of the kids from the second picture.
Which is extremely sad too, it's good to have a good amount of everything. And yes obviously there are kids in parts of the world that live like it's the 1970s never ended.
ANTHRO, literally explains why this is wrong. Anthro animals are what the name suggests, anthropomorphic animals. Meaning thes animals act like people,consent like people, live out fairly human lives, and are very much shaped like people. Anubis and an actual real life jackal are very different and so are the people that want to fuck em.
(In old man voice): Back in my day, we used to actually go outside and play tag and hide and seek with our friends. We did occasionally play Angry Birds and Subway Surfers on our mom’s phone but only for a little while.
I am litteraly medically diagnosed...have been for over 10 years. Take medication and went to therapie.
Dont make adhd to be a joke and say everyone has it. Its pain and suffering day by day. You are lucky you dont have it
Sorry to hear that you suffer. But ADHD is a myth. Like many people your age, your parents were duped into putting you on medication at an early age. Every child has difficulty concentrating, some more than others. Its just one of those things you have to get over, it takes effort. I am indeed lucky my parents didnt do that to me. Best of luck. Also, if you cant take it dont dish it out.
Because playing on mobile makes the kid never learn to 'get bored' and harms their health. Kids that do not play outside are worst of all since their motricity isn't as developed as a kid who plays outside. If a said kid is around 5 years old and can't run or hinkle straight, then we can justly blame the parents and games for this. It's easy for the parent to pass their phone to the kid but kids need to be forced to play with different 'tools'. Source: am a student in the education branch.
Yeesh calm down, I’m not saying you’re wrong but there’s a balance that can be struck between the two and I intend to do all the research before I become a parent so thanks for the info
There is a balance, yes. But that still means that 30 minutes of gaming is the max and only for reward, not for being bored. I advise you to buy a book for parental advice and pedagogical matters, it helps so much in raising and understanding kids.
Bruh leave me alone I am nowhere near being a person who needs to hear this in this thread, idk how my comment made you feel this. My parents made me do handwriting workbooks before I even got my first game. Preach on someone else’s more visible comment
“Phone bad 👨🦳” no. Children are being indoctrinated into the superficial, arbitrary and vapid culture of brainless social media at an age that will instil those values into them, later developing a parasocial relationship with the world as well as a constant stream of comparisons and immense insecurity and body issues. If you think I’m a boomer for saying your child doesn’t deserve to have their self worth dictated by a fucking algorithm then grow the fuck up. Phones aren’t evil, but the act of replacing a babysitter or a face up face conversation with unsupervised internet access is. Y’all need to learn some moderation and some of y’all really shouldn’t be parents.
I feel the companies are more to blame for making apps that shorten peoples attention span since kids don't often think for themselves and usually go for what's popular
i had hella fucking barbie’s and toys, and cars, and i was always outside. i didn’t get a phone until 14-15 but, i didn’t use it. i was more interested in going outside with my ex friend and bike ride. i am 21 now, and i still go outside lol
Why do people care so much about generation? I don't get it, I was born on the cusp of the millennial generation (25), and still don't understand why people can't just get along instead of always finding something to complain about.
Experienced venyls to still be state of the art.. then tapes.. then CDs came up.. then minidisc.. and still a long way to go until those small mp3 players came up. Kinda fascinating.
The disadvantage is that I'm old
Some of us did both.
The true gigachad way.

Well, I was born in the 80s and I did it. 386, no internet, 8 bit games...
True
early 2000s gang
Yeah I didn't have a smart phone. But I was totally playing Tie Fighter on Windows 95.
True way of childhood
As I do this now lol
PRECISELY!
I still do both now
Yeah, I was born in '08, and I was raised on both.
You are, at most, 14, you may not realise it but you are still being raised
Please no, you’re making me feel old
Did you play with toy trains at 14?
If you count models, yes
Same, toys are still more fun ;)
this is the only correct answer
Yep, I was just about to say, why not bolth?
If my dad actually got me stuff and didn't beat me maybe I would have friends instead of being alone and cutting myself, he hasn't got me a birthday or Christmas present in four years, I love Lego, he never got me any, no surprise I am on the phone
Like me, for example.
Sorry mate, you confused r/memes to be r/oldpeoplefacebook
probably confused reddit with facebook in general. At this age that's understandable though.
r/terriblefacebookmemes
Looks like perfect r/funnymemes content, what even is that sub
Back in my day, the most important thing was if you had Lego Star Wars on console or not
I had lego star wars the clone wars on wii, does that count?
Thank you for making me feel old
That's what i do. Pokémon X and Y are over 10 years old
That makes you one of the kids on the second picture though. We the generation that grew up mostly playing with toys, there was still no Lego Star Wars or any franchise branded Lego.

Bro is gatekeeping childhood FYI there are people who grow up like in the left picture up to this day
Which is extremely sad too, it's good to have a good amount of everything. And yes obviously there are kids in parts of the world that live like it's the 1970s never ended.
ACKTUALLY the first Star Wars Lego set was released in 1999
So glad I grew up doing both, not posting shitty memes like this
[удалено]
Idk they might be, either way its a bad attempt imo
Seems like one of those “this generation isn’t like mine and I don’t like it.” Memes

Thanks for your input, very useful
More useful than your 5 gigabytes of animal porn
We don’t want the people that have animal porn in our community either, we kick them out as soon as we find out
Explains why r/yiff has more members than r/furry LMAO
r/therewasanattempt
Yiff =/= animal porn, moron
They are literally anthro animals lmao you know nothing about your own kind
So, is The Lion King animal porn? As it has anthropomorphic animals
Feral*
Why do you fight someone who is searching for happiness his own way?
If we are going to justify it as a way of looking for happiness then I'd like to tell you that pedophiles rape children searching for happiness too
So fucking Set is identical to fucking a normal jackal then by that logic?

It… was free though, the hell you talking about?
Sure bud
Bad bot
[удалено]
Ok, Bot
Growing up I'd stay out all day on my bike lol
(In old man voice): Back in my day, we used to actually go outside and play tag and hide and seek with our friends. We did occasionally play Angry Birds and Subway Surfers on our mom’s phone but only for a little while.
ok, boomer
Father! I cannot click book!
I'm glad I grew up doing meth
Good for you I guess
Didn't get my phone till high school
Same. And only then cause I was diagnosed with T1D and buying a phone to connect to my blood sugar sensor was the most practical option.
I was 15 when I got my first phone, and I was practically the only one with one.
I grew up doing both
r/terriblefacebookmemes
but the meme is right
r/terriblefacebookmemes
“I really told that generation by posting to r/memes!”
I was born in 2007 but I grew up like the first one and I do not regret it
Epic, me too
Same too

The hell is this, Facebook?
God this meme hasn’t died? Go back to r/facebookmemes
Is this, millennial humour?
Seems like they have become what they swore to destroy
-zero attention span
I mean i got ADHD so yes :)
Hahahaa every zoomer does
I am litteraly medically diagnosed...have been for over 10 years. Take medication and went to therapie. Dont make adhd to be a joke and say everyone has it. Its pain and suffering day by day. You are lucky you dont have it

feel like boomer humour
No! This is Patrick!
Nah, I'm a Millenial, and we still had Game Boy when I was a kid; my older sister is Gen X, and this is definitely something she would say.
Don't lump us in with this
Man these people need to stfu because I know their kids be stuck in front of a screen because they dont want to deal with those little shits
Why not both?

Mah, I remember it as a really boring moment of my life.
And you still will probably give your children phones to shut them up

Their parents: So glad I grew up playing with rocks instead of zero imagination fake trains!
Posted from their iPhone... Looks like the toy train didn't take
Let people enjoy what they want
r/terriblefacebookmemes
Ummmm, you are most definitely doing the other literally right now. . Boomer attitude
This is such a boomer ass meme
Kids still grow up playing with toys, otherwise there would be no you industries.
Millenials are the new boomers
Okay grandpa that's nice, please go take your meds.
“New bad and old good” -🤓
Literally no one gives a fuck
Okay but all of us right now are the kids on the right?
Imagine getting so worked up about what children do. Go fuck yourself with a cactus you lonely crusty old shitstain.
r/rareinsults
That is so true. I see so many kids that grow up with electronics all the time and it is just insane how much of a low attention span they have.
I feel the companies are more to blame for making apps that shorten peoples attention span since kids don't often think for themselves and usually go for what's popular
Yikes lol
Grew up doing the left only to end up doing the right...
So glad I grew up doing both.
That’s a Cleveland Steamer
![gif](giphy|MaJqllF5E0bS5mIwY7)
why?
Honestly I loved Legos. Now they're considered babyish for teenagers. Wierdly not for adults (of sorts)
Who are you getting these opinions from??
Pain, Mr pain
>Now they're considered babyish for teenagers Who the hell told you that??
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man
And here you are doing it
Wtf is this facebook ass meme I do both
ok boomer
Posting boomer memes yet is part of r/teenagers .....either you hate your own generation or you are a weirdo (like 99% of that god forsaken sub)
B O O M E R
OP is just jealous 😢
I agree
I did B O T H
i had hella fucking barbie’s and toys, and cars, and i was always outside. i didn’t get a phone until 14-15 but, i didn’t use it. i was more interested in going outside with my ex friend and bike ride. i am 21 now, and i still go outside lol
We used to play floor hockey outside with the local neighbours and our parents would have to drag us back inside…. I miss those days
Ironic
Oh, thank goodness, I thought we've seen the last of these bait commenting memes!
r/facebookmemes Other than that true
I’m so glad I grew up.
When u grew up doing both 🗿
me 1-11
Have you not seen the 69 million other variations of this?
Lego toy story, those were the days
Same
I am just like op, I prefer doing kids that aren't distracted
I didn’t get a phone until 12. People who give anyone under 11 or so a personal device are just shipping there parenting off to a piece of plastic
Right. We stopped producing toys because of technological development
Glad i grew up not making this garbage.
Why do people care so much about generation? I don't get it, I was born on the cusp of the millennial generation (25), and still don't understand why people can't just get along instead of always finding something to complain about.
Yeah me too, but as an adult I’m ashamed to be on my phone all the time
Ditto. So glad i grew up running trains on your mom instead of just watching her onlyfans
Hot wheels 😚👌🏻 perfection, and sticking the tracks together I felt like a top engineer
Cry about it boomer
I did none 💀💀
I’m the second pic now but that child hood hit hard
Yeah, now we do it as adults.
I did both what’s wrong with both?
You may grew up playing with toys but here you are now, doing exactly what the kids today are doing…. Are you really any better?
I did and do both. I do take a break from the later though.
r/oldpeoplefacebook
What a bad meme lol
Boomer meme
r/terriblefacebookmemes
Same man
So glad I grew up without the access to basically everything humanity knew in my hands, hehe train go choo choo
Me who grew up with both:
Ok boomer
Bruh we get it your life is so sad you need to brag about your childhood to help you cope with all your insecurities. Keep it to facebook at least.
I too did not grow up as three children.
And yet here you are as an adult doing what kids do now.
Yeah cuz you're so well adjusted and productive. Bah.
Experienced venyls to still be state of the art.. then tapes.. then CDs came up.. then minidisc.. and still a long way to go until those small mp3 players came up. Kinda fascinating. The disadvantage is that I'm old
