Also: TV on 16 hours a day even when nobody is watching it

One the favorite shopping channel

Yeah, unlike us enlightened folks who spend all of our time either on Reddit or Lemmy!

We are conscious about picking only ethicaly-sourced misinformation producers.

Yeah meta pulled a sneaky on them: "Dear Mrs. Boomer, we can show you pics of your distant relative's babies for the feeble price of your soul." "Where do I sign?"

And the FBI pulled a sneaky of them too: Gary Webb commuted suicide by shooting himself in the head. Twice.

[-] fingerbob@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Where did he commute it to?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

After the suicide he mainly works from home now.

That and COVID.

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Isn’t that like a stretch to believe the feds had him killed?

[-] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe if you do too.

For boomers it's mostly the lead poisoning.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

"Maybe they're born with it 🎵maybe it's lead poisoning🎵"

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile genz and millenials think they are ultra capable and still mob target harassment and bullying innocent people online until they commit suicide. I haven’t seen a boomer try too SWAT anyone for giggles yet.

Them refusing to go on the internet for so long while it evolved into what it is today is probably a big part of the reason why they're easy to fool today but let's not kid ourselves, extremists born from social media aren't all boomers, the misogynistic movement we see growing today is mostly people under their mid thirties.

Men pretending to be victims of feminism or whatever is very reminiscent of the dominant religion in the US, Christianity, pretending they're oppressed.

Given that my mom is on it 24/7 doing the most dumb "personal quizzes" that probably got her account hacked, it seems like they're going to take facebook to the grave at this rate.

Just a single study, but found that boomers were better at identifying misinformation.

[-] finkrat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Like a lot of things from their generation, they were projecting things that they would do, onto others instead.

[-] headset@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So.. Lemmy is for ageists turds just like twitter is for racists pieces of shit. 👍

[-] speaker_hat@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Facebook nuke them with notifications and sounds, keep them engaged and confused

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

imagine if they started using tiktok

[-] speaker_hat@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Most of the videos will be blurry, black, or with a huge face close to the camera, while a vague "Linda is it recording?" mumbling heard
