what does it mean, though, when your toddler draws a pretty amazing picture of a person coming out of a toilet instead of, say, a poop genie

Skibidi toilet? Maybe mom and dad were right
I'm making a skibidi toilet themed cake for my son's 6th birthday. I find it all very hilarious.

Good luck with that, Zoomers will never be able to afford to have kids.
I use TikTok (I know...). There, when there's rivalry, it is frequently 'gen Z' the one bullying 'millennials'. They criticize the way they use technology, their fashion sense, their attitudes, their musical tastes, etc. Studies are noticing that 'gen Z' tend more to the right-wing, so I guess there's a part of them also criticizing previous generations for being too leftists or whatever.
I use the quotation marks because this whole generational thing seems to me arbitrary and U.S.-centric. I'm in the years that are considered the transition between these two generations and I share characteristics with both. It's silly how serious we've taken this thing.

Adversity builds strength which is why I'm typing this doing one armed push ups in the snow
Pfft. Afraid of melting, huh? Try one armed sit ups in molten lava.
The concept of generations is just a social construct. These kinds of things are mostly just selection bias. If what's seen as someone from an older generation criticizes something done by a younger generation, then "generational trauma" confirmed. If an older person agrees with a younger person, it's ignored. If someone of the same age group criticizes, it's also ignored.
It's especially ridiculous when considering opinions on something as subjective and inconsequential as a meme.
While I do broadly agree, I feel it's important to note generational trauma is a real and separate concept. It just refers to the idea that trauma can be passed down from parents to children by repeating the same behavior or perpetuating the same ideas that traumatized them. This can be especially apparent in children of immigrants, religious extremists, or survivors of abuse, all for completely different reasons. It's very common and worth talking about.
I’m part of the Oregon Trail generation, essentially the border between X and millennial.
I definitely try to do what the meme shows, but I had to post because I’m in my 40s and I recognize the meme because I have a 6 year old.

So zoomer is born in the 90's?
Can I at least hate broccoli heads?
No, I'm borderline millennial/gen z and I love broccoli. It's my favorite veggie. Even as a small child I preferred it to snackie junk food.
