Mildly Interesting

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.

It's more about the comments around this post. Idk what were the intentions when OP posted this. But the comments are pretty clear. Stuff like "Death to all boomers", " when boomers dead all good", etc.

But yeah you definitely seem a cool guy to hang with, calling retard to everybody that thinks different or doesn't agree with some ways of dealing with life.

Firstly, I genuinely don't care what you or anyone else thinks of me because you are not someone I have ever met and we will very likely never speak again outside of this board. That being said, I do care about the feelings of others when it comes to how they feel emotionally, and my post was not meant to be deep cutting but rather a light jab. I realize that words online are much more difficult to convey the exact meaning of because you cannot tie emotion to them in a way that other people will pick up on.

Second, your point was made invalid when you stated that this was specifically something made for boomers, which if you would have went and clicked on the link, would have realized is not the case.

Three, you literally did the exact same thing! You compared their intelligence to that of a three year old! You didn't make your comment about the othsr comments, you made it about the content of the post, that is incredibly clear.

Now do I think you are a human who is actually mentally handicapped? Of course not, but in that particular moment you were definitely favoring it, and that's totally fine, the intention of my comment was not to try and hurt your feelings, but rather to point out your mistake so that you and others can learn that this is not just some calendar made to shit on boomers and celebrate the death of them (which becomes a harder ask as healthcare becomes even better).
