Sometimes I wonder if things like the hexbear bouncing cat emotes are a bit twee and cringe, but then I see the aesthetics the other side has run with...

    After 20+ long years

    Ok I’m gonna just assume they were victims of fetal alcohol syndrome and started drinking from birth. I cannot rationalize a 40+ year old talking like this

      You don't know enough white midwestern boomers. An entire fucking generation of overgrown children.

        This probably isn't a boomer (not that generational analysis isn't dumb), but probably a gen x'er. Hell, it could be someone on the old edge of the millenials. The youngest possible boomers are 58 now.

            In this context, I will say I have never seen nor heard any adult speaking like this, haha. My deepest sympathies to you if you know people like this.

              For Halloween a few years back, a married couple that are childhood friends of my mom did a couples costume: the lady stuck LED lights on her chest, the guy put on deer antlers. They did a "deer caught in the headlights" bit all fucking night.

              That's the kind of white boomers I know.

                that sounds like it would have been funny for all of two minutes at absolute maximum, stretching it out over an entire evening sounds absolutely torturous

                  But what if that is the bit?

              I’m surrounded by them and not a single one has ever done anything like this either (as far as I’m aware lol)

              I will say that white midwestern boomers are usually pretty jovial. It's just that their sense of humor is incredibly reactionary and if you call them out on it, my god. They throw temper tantrums that put toddlers to shame.
