The funny thing is that if you look at the war generation, the one before Boomers, they basically had quite a similar taste for gallows humour and absurdist humour.

It's almost like hard times make it so gallows humour and absurdist humour become popular as a coping mechanism

I'm a 38 year old millennial.. I've been joking about suicide and self harm for 20 years.. Before that I wasn't having fun when talking about that stuff.

The point is now it's just all funny.

You never ever really get over depression and anxiety.. You just learn how to live with it.

I work in a company of at least 2000.. At least 40% know me as a big fat loudmouth that they all enjoy talking to. There's another 25-45 people who hate me because I can't shut up.. Being quiet is when old mate anxiety comes back..

You just learn how to live with it.

Or do not :)

Suicide is the retirement plan. Don't let your estate be bankrupted by the retirement ~~parasites~~ industry.

Haha jk... unless?

Where's the gay lost generation guy with his hook hand?

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Seems like bottom right should be genx rather than millennials but I guess we had emos so maybe that tracks

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 24 points 3 days ago

Based on anecdotal evidence (aka the people I know including myself) millenials joking about suicide fits quite well.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Gen Y had suicide jokes for a while now with similar looks from boomers. Meme feels more like passing the torch to Gen Z as they're starting to do it too.

You may say "fuck" on the internet.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, you may, but the social constructs around will punish that.

Maybe both partners working 40h+ commute and caring for children and doing household (or not get children at all) is inhumane. With AI things will become worse. Human brain is not designed to never do any repetitive task again. It needs repitition. But these tasks must be fed to AI now.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Maybe the loss of third spaces and the commodification of living has turned the joy of the human experience and connection into something unachievable by many.

[–] untorquer@quokk.au 7 points 3 days ago

I dont need repetition i need more time and resources to be with the people I love and build community with those around me.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, no. It depends on the task.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

And on the person.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wish AI could do repetitive tasks, but it actually can't repeat things identically very well.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Well, for very repetitive tasks we have computers/scripts/programs.

LLMs are fairly good at assisting the somewhat competent user to make said scripts/programs, and helping to monitor them. But they are not the best tool for every job, and certainly not the most efficient in resources.

100 years ago, each family worked 40 hours of wage labour a week, plus childrearing and chores

Today, each family works 80 hours of wage labour a week, plus childrearing and chores

In order to restore the labour rights of 100 years ago, I propose a 20 hour work week!

I got to manually and individually rename 400 files using a complex series of rules the other day. It was glorious

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

I agree wholeheartedly -- inspiration and creativity are usually spawned out of boredom and inspiration. In years gone by, humans spent most of their time bored, and inventing ways out of their boredom. The boredom happened during menial tasks, and the inspiration happened during the leisure time.

By removing the ability of humans to be bored, and reducing their time to be independently inspired whilst bombarding them with never-ending content, that's likely going to have long lasting effects on how humans develop and think
