This isn’t a “kids these days” at all. No need for you to be offended.
It was a request to pass on generalist knowledge from generations that had a lot more exposure to it.
I left plenty of room in my statement with conditional language to allow those with knowledge like this to exist regardless of age, but you went and made it all about you.
You literally start off with
Your comment is inherently ageist. Full stop. And by the way, there’s plenty of boomers who never knew how to fix shit.
You didn’t have to, but you made it about entire swaths of generations.
And I’m not wrong in those two paragraphs.
Again, you’re making this all about you. Jist because you might possess a little knowledge you make it a case to exclude anyone offering any to others, and patently this image shows there are some in meed.
Well done.
My opinion not good enough?

The only really relevant thing in that article is
The rest of the article isn’t about people forgetting how to mend a fence and generally being incapable.
Again. This fence thing didn’t have to be generational. You. Went. There.
Think about that.
Your’e a real asshole looking for an argument
You skipped right past
And the article goes on beyond the part you quoted to feed your argument to point out that yes, indeed thing are lost between generations. No, they don’t specifically mention fence mending. Generational amnesia is a far broader concept than just how to fix a car.
You went straight for the fight.
You turned an appeal for people to pass knowledge on to those who may not get as much exposure to it as past generations and what…? Fuck you, don’t teach? Everyone knows everything already - apparently you do?
Boomers dying off and you gotta pick a fight with a new generation? I don’t do “kids these days” arguments because they’re stupid, but pot meet kettle, I never intended a generational argument but you certainly made it one.

And I don’t even like the fact they singled out millennials. It’s simply knowledge lost over time, not an X vs zoomer thing.
