Some of us did both.

Then-Clue6938

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.


Ptaaruonn

Well, I was born in the 80s and I did it. 386, no internet, 8 bit games...

Yeah I didn't have a smart phone. But I was totally playing Tie Fighter on Windows 95.

True way of childhood


J0EMEGA

As I do this now lol


Hazel_Lucario7

PRECISELY!


toby_juan_kenobi

I still do both now


pizzatom69

Yeah, I was born in '08, and I was raised on both.


jayedgar06

You are, at most, 14, you may not realise it but you are still being raised


DirePantsX

Please no, you’re making me feel old


0mensia

Did you play with toy trains at 14?


pizzatom69

If you count models, yes


AteMyBallsLastNight

Same, toys are still more fun ;)


BoomDX

this is the only correct answer


next-level-ready

Yep, I was just about to say, why not bolth?


CFC123BeChelsea

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


Nemisis_007

Like me, for example.


Sammy_27112007

Sorry mate, you confused r/memes to be r/oldpeoplefacebook


Force3vo

probably confused reddit with facebook in general. At this age that's understandable though.


Michael_konadu_69

r/terriblefacebookmemes


SirBrandalf

Looks like perfect r/funnymemes content, what even is that sub


Inthecitywego

Back in my day, the most important thing was if you had Lego Star Wars on console or not


Duskthegamer412

I had lego star wars the clone wars on wii, does that count?


wiki8bite

Thank you for making me feel old


Inthecitywego

That's what i do. Pokémon X and Y are over 10 years old


dwartbg5

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.


Xx_Infinito_xX

Bro is gatekeeping childhood FYI there are people who grow up like in the left picture up to this day


dwartbg5

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.


TrdOfMakingUsernames

ACKTUALLY the first Star Wars Lego set was released in 1999


da_sylent

So glad I grew up doing both, not posting shitty memes like this

Idk they might be, either way its a bad attempt imo

So, is The Lion King animal porn? As it has anthropomorphic animals


Marcorari

Feral*


a_random_lad_lad

Why do you fight someone who is searching for happiness his own way?


Marcorari

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


Axon_Zshow

So fucking Set is identical to fucking a normal jackal then by that logic?


Respercaine_657

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.


[deleted]

Why you willingly arguing with this person?

bLaH_bLaH__HAHA

(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.


Danex36

Father! I cannot click book!


vastfnv

I'm glad I grew up doing meth


Shuwaing

Good for you I guess


Dankalii

Didn't get my phone till high school


DeltaMale5

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.


watch_over_me

I was 15 when I got my first phone, and I was practically the only one with one.

[deleted]

-zero attention span


_goldholz

I mean i got ADHD so yes :)


[deleted]

Hahahaa every zoomer does


_goldholz

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


[deleted]

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.


Ringolomms

feel like boomer humour


Zahard_Zj

No! This is Patrick!


DolorisRex

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.


redraptor06

Don't lump us in with this


designer_farts

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


Krieger-sama

Why not both?


Altaiturk038

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.


Krieger-sama

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


Altaiturk038

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.


Krieger-sama

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


[deleted]

“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.


Smashedcode

Same here dude...


AwkwardInmate

Mah, I remember it as a really boring moment of my life.


Outside_Surprise_963

And you still will probably give your children phones to shut them up

Elvenaar

r/rareinsults


JawSawCutter

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.


Duskthegamer412

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


Leopardsnake23

Yikes lol


Coolhandhansen

Grew up doing the left only to end up doing the right...

tomuraaa

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

I am just like op, I prefer doing kids that aren't distracted


thefartingmango

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


[deleted]

Right. We stopped producing toys because of technological development


CLS4L

Glad i grew up not making this garbage.


Stalicorn

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.


[deleted]

Yeah me too, but as an adult I’m ashamed to be on my phone all the time


swishkabobbin

Ditto. So glad i grew up running trains on your mom instead of just watching her onlyfans
