I understand what it is trying to say, but i don't think kids this day are glued to the tv. It is more on phone and ipads

Looks like boomer humour. Also maybe early 2000's.

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Everything Mickey7 posts is boomer humor. Every time I see a boomer post I check who posted it and it's him 99% of the time.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly I'm all for it.

Not everything needs to be about the evils of capitalism. I posted in an ADHD community about how I think I'm fed up with managing my symptoms and I'm going to talk to a doctor and someone suggested that Capitalism is to blame for my symptoms.

Im surprised they didnt try to tell me I'd also have less trouble focusing if I switched to Linux.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Have you tried switching to a Linux distro without a DE installed? Having a GUI can be very distracting and using text based editors could improve your workflow /s unless....

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm fair point. It does indeed add variety. My only complaint about Mickey7's posts is the occasional misogyny, which is pretty much an inevitable symptom of boomer humor.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of his stuff isnt very funny, but its also not highly objectionable. At the end of the day if people see someone constantly posting stuff they dont like block user is right there. Its so much more effective than downvoting every post they make. It doesnt have to be with malicious intent like "Fuck this guy" Ive got tons of communities blocked simply because the content is not relevant to me. Its just clutter.

People need leadership, or they will be led astray.

The only thing on TV after school was Sesame Street, and sitcom reruns. So, if it was warm, we went outside and played. Yes, really.

Some kids had game consoles, but not everyone. And, the games weren't that great, so most of us weren't playing for hours. We did a lot of other things, too.

We went to play with kids who had game consoles

1984?

You can only play so much Pong...

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

In 1984 we had on console Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Frogger, Super Mario Bros (Famicom), Jet Set Willy, Elite (Amiga), The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Kings Quest 1, and Pitfall 2, just to name a few of the many classic titles we had access to.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@piefed.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The Amiga didn't come out until 1985.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Might not have been for Amiga exclusively then. I was only familiar with Elite on the Amiga.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Interesting how experiences differ...
In our village there was exactly one guy who had an Atari console.
It had Pong and some super-simple shooter with a light gun, that was all.
Only got it because his dad acquired it cheaply from a friend.
We all tried it, had fun for a few hours, but concluded that it was not worth the effort (and the pricetag...)
Took another three or four years for gaming to finally become a thing when CPCs and C64s started appearing everywhere.

Oh, that wasn't just my collection. That was the entire family's, plus like 5 other kids family's collections. Admittedly, the smallest town I've lived in had a population of ≈20,000 people.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 13 hours ago

That's ~factor 20 to my somewhat rural home town.
Might explain the difference!

First time I visited a store selling computer games in the big city we drove to twice a year was in 1990, first visit of a video game arcade was in 1992 when attending senior high in that same city...

Outside? Like where kidnappers live? No thanks, I’d rather protect my children by absolutely minimizing their in-person social interactions and exposing them to as much corporate media as possible

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

GI Joe. And transformers. And silver spoons. And a ton of other stupid shit I would watch in the 80s after school, instead of doing my homework and then getting in trouble because my homework wasn’t done.

I suppose now kids do TikTok and YouTube? Though consoles are still a thing.

Second image should be the display on a fridge.

... I think the point is that, although it looks similar at first glance, there actually is significant change.
