memes

We fix our own damn computers before the Millenials get out of bed.

The whole history of this meme is a tired Boomer-tier joke. It's 9gag material at this point.

We could fix it too, but we don’t wanna.

Napping. Wake me up when September ends.

Same. My older brother got scammed by the "hello this is paypal. Your account got hacked." Eventhough i told him to hang up and that it is a scam

There are luddites in every generation.

Millenial here, its actually the same for us. Most millenials dont actually know how to fix a computer, either.

Shh, we get to be anonymous, tech literate and be able to buy our own houses.

Shhh - let the Millennials do it, they need the validation, and most of us need a nap.

Same here, but I'm a border generation (born in the late 90s)

There are people out there who would happily give AI all the power in the world to turn their skulls into a highway or a scammer access to their entire bank account just so they don’t have to read out an error and google it for themselves out of fear of technology or even speaking to anyone about technology.

Sort of like those people who would rather drive their car off of a cliff rather than ever hear words from a mechanic or check their own oil.

And when it arrives it turns out you need a new computer as well. Also it's lacking some features you need, and it has some new features nobody asked for. Also fixing it became much harder and doing so can get you to jail.

I wrote a shell script my mom just has to click on to run the updates and she still can't figure it out. The filename is literally "ClickHereToRunUpdatesMom.sh"

I'm also Gen Z

I am happy to pretend not to know anything so as not have to fix everyone's computer.

Even to the point that when someone is expected to fact check at a dinner table - I look at the young'ns as if I am hopeless so that they can do the lookup.

You are rare and these stereotypes are mostly false. Most people in every generation can’t fix a computer. Maybe the only slight echo of truth is that during the millennial childhood and youth, at least in terms of raw numbers, home computers peaked as the main “tech” children were exposed to, so there might be a little more people who are not professionals, but have some extra comfort with them. Still, that’s a stretch.

This is the "Nobody who isn't a Boomer knows how to fix a car" tier meme material. Just a tired lie that keeps getting recycled as a meme because it's clickbait for the snobs.
