I mean what does the minion have to do with this statement and why is it dressed like a sexy maid?

        Imagine anthropology existing after the Liberal Arts pogroms purge professionals over the next century.

        I just hope China is able to pick up all of our slack as we hurtle into a new Dark Age.

      Japanese youth: Wow minions how cute!

      American boomers: Wow minions, I'll put this next to my "George Floyd; Play stupid games, win stupid prizes" post on facebook!

        I mean literally all generations of Japanese love minions shit, ranging from crane game plushies to minifridges for the offices

          Japanese people seem to love anything cute, like kawaii culture, I'm guessing it has no age limit. While boomers are raging toddlers who have access to firearms.

    The best I can guess is this phenomenon is informed by greeting cards, which boomers also love. They also have pithy, passive aggressive statements followed by an often unrelated little cartoon blob.

    Meaning it was easier because you just read a book without having to sift through thousands of unrelated or misleading options?

      also you just had to agree with what the white guy who wrote the book thought. No critical examination or outside sources, just one opinion that was automatically right.

    And the hardest math they ever had to do was exponents. Primary education now has such an insane workload - no adult would put up with those conditions.

      Nu Math literally setting off riots in the suburbs. Nevermind shit like evolutionary theory and CRT.

      Personal favorite of mine is a racist facebook rant with the n-word peppered throughout and the avatar pic next to it is their grandchild's photo. :chefs-kiss: of brainworms.

        Back in the 90s I nursed a hypothesis that the future of the internet would be split into an anonymous section and a section with your name and face. I had assumed publicly showing one's name, face, and high school would make people more civil or at least shy away from open racial slurs. It's weird how wrong I was.

    follow-up question: what did boomers put on everything in the times before Despicable Me was released

            Shit. We might actually be able to convince them that boiling alive is bad. Anyone here still have Facebook to test this? Comrade blobby may well save us all! (but almost definitely won't)

      Betty Boop. Not just boomers, either, GenXers and older millenials seemed to like her too. In addition to Tweety Bird, other Looney Tunes characters were used the same way.
