The dad was beatmaxxing

By "like this" I assume anon means "this bad at raising their kids to be sane and decent people".

If anon's parents are boomers, wouldn't that make them at least thirty?

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.

The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.

And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial

It's ironic that wanting to use one's own brain makes someone a "boomer." I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that's one trait that I've seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.

1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.

But yeah, oof.

The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.

1980 here. I consider myself genx. I'm on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that's where millennial begins.

I’m on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter

Please explain that to my genX parents who need to read some new books and watch some new shows...

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Yep, that sounds familiar

Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago

Boomermaxxing

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

You're never too old to practice Standmaxxing™️!

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.

TIL I've been Sitmaxxing my entire life. I never miss an opportunity.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 8 points 1 week ago

I'm liedownmaxxing, not sleepmaxing, just liedownmaxxing.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

TIL there's a thing called standmaxing...

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 41 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You can -maxx pretty much anything nowadays. I'm currently replymaxxing

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual additional opportunities to *. Then, if they do not take advantage of it, claim they are only *-averaging.

Anyway, I posted this zero seconds ago and I don't see a reply yet.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

I saw some graffiti that simply read "DEATHMAXXING?" and I still think about that pretty regularly

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

Bro wasn't standmaxxing, he was standgooning.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 15 points 1 week ago

Standmaxxing will be required at my funeral.

[–] null@lemmy.org 14 points 1 week ago

my coach tells me to stand up because the national anthem is starting

told him i can't because i'm kneelmaxxing

score 2-14 and get beaten out of the playoffs

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 1 week ago

OOP should've made his stand fight his dad. Smh

Good ol’ religion. Compliance or being beaten. Like if god would actually give a shit if you stood.

[–] housedogpartyfavor@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

nobody who uses the term maxxing has a boomer for a parent
