This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is this like a timer for when we can start fighting climate change?

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

We got plenty of idiots in our generation too. We're not off the hook

[–] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Boomers started fighting climate change decades ago. (see Al Gore)

Why the fuck are you waiting on your opponents to die when it'll be too late? Just do what you want and then fight or kill them if they try to stop you.

No, because it was never about the boomers.

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Many boomers aren't helping, though. Especially the ones in the US.

Nah. Gen X are basically boomers so gotta wait that one out too.
