Me telling a friend's kid about how there used to be a lot more bugs before the climate apocalypse
"There used to be swarms of pigeons so large it would blot out the sky, then people killed them all."
Being born in the late 1900s sucks. Young enough to remember nature existing, too young to have fully appreciated it.
I miss the birds I'd hear at 6 am after a marathon runescape session circa 2008. I miss lizards. I miss bugs. I miss seeing life during my day but I didn't care about it when I could.
Don't worry, the kids born in the 2020s will have vastly more wildlife than the next generation
True! There really is a silver lining in every cloud!
Although, maybe not the birds..
what the fuck is going on in america
my garden is full of bugs, bees, lizards, birds and even frogs
there tend to be plenty in the city too
I'm Australian.
I have bees. Less birds over the last year, they're not as vocal anyway. A far cry from flocks of cockatoos that I grew up hearing all night. Its not as bad outside the cities.
KURWA BŁAGAM NIE PRZEPRASZAM NAPRAWDĘ TO SIĘ NIE POWTÓRZY NIE RÓBCIE MI TEGO PROSZĘ :kitty-cri-screm:
Remember kids, Lenin was nicknamed "Old Man" by his fellow revolutionaries. In his 20s.
TBF have you seen what Lenin looked like as a kid? Dude looked 50 by age 12

Interesting...wasn't Mossad / CIA "art" students with thermite in joints. Was "construction" people leaving their rotting corrosive Mayo 'n Cider vinagar sandwiches.
nah, i did it all by myself with an angle grinder
tower 7 was a motherfucker
Well shit
how you got that to all snap at once was brilliance.
Unlike you zoomers, i know firsthand the horrors that communism wrought on Russia.
I was born in 1989...
thanks for reminding me i have this megaman game on my phone emulator
dont fuckin tell me you play goddamn ds games on a goddmamn PHONE of all things
ew :disgost:
Actually not the worst choice, considering the DS had a touchscreen and some games made use of the in-built microphone. You just need to keep button inputs off the screen.
i mean many games were basically designed with a stylus in mind
i cant imagine playing spirit tracks or phantom hourglass with my thumb
You could at least buy a special stylus for phone screens for that. I just said that it's not the worst way to emulate DS. But for the money spent on peripherals to make controls bearable you might as well just buy a secondhand DS if you want an authentic experience.

I don't have to fucking imagine it kiddo. Log off and do your homework
at least homework is the most of my worries grandpa :sicko-zoomer:
I may be a 'grandpa' but at least I will likely be long gone before the water wars, meanwhile you will probably be still kicking...sad!
Imagine growing up and playing the Red Alert Soviet campaign was not part of your childhood.
Yes I feel bad for the kids who never got to experience this.

We had better music and our TV shows weren't breaks between Pharma ads!Our music was better, yes, but or TV shows absolutely were just breaks between Pharma ads. As a kid in the 90s I remember despising having to wait through seemingly endless obnoxious fucking commercials (never understood why no one else around me really seemed to mind that much). And every single show would make like a mini cliff hanger for the very purpose of cutting to ads at that moment. God that pissed me off, totally destroyed any tension that they might have built. But now, since the advent of adblockers, I haven't watched media interrupted by commercials (at least of the non-diagetic kind) in well over a decade. Maybe the commercials and time lengths are worse now, but I wouldn't know because I can simply choose not see them. A godsend.
It did have the benefit of giving me breaks for my adhd ass brain to play gameboy for 5 minutes or do something else which generally led to me paying attention to the show itself better than I can sometimes without the breaks.
It wasn't totally without benefits, yeah. But something else now possible that (for the most part) couldn't be done then is just hit pause when you want a break. That way you don't have to worry about having to either set the gameboy back down to watch when the commercials end or miss some of the show because you're about to beat the level and can't just stop playing. Like, commercials were good for a piss break and grabbing some snacks too, but if you were too long in the other room and you came back you'd have no idea how that mini-cliff-hanger resolved.
Adhd ass brain. I'm not pausing to do something else I'll just stop paying attention
you kids talk about the fifteen recessions you've been through so far like you've seen something, but have you heard of 18% interest rates on mortgages?
