I just made the most groundbreaking realization...

I was born in 1998, and I never realized why I was in the same generation as these 2004+ iPad babies that I have absolutely nothing in common with, until it dawned on me that generations are completely arbitrary and pointless.

I deserve an award for my outstanding discovery.

So just because iPads existed, we were iPad kids

Despite the majority of us never using one in childhood. Oh, but if I make a generalization about the precious older gen z then suddenly, I'm making a "blanket statement," and I'm in the wrong. This is just more proof they control the narrative.

"Younger Gen Z are iPad kids!"

All these older gen z assholes who never learned nuance makes sweeping generalizations about us just because there are a few edge cases of younger zoomer iPad kids. I guess they can't cope with the fact they're a failed generation. Covid really fucked with their heads, and it makes me sad. Haha, get it? I'm doing the same performative sympathy they do.

older gen z has the most power out of any young generation and something needs to be done

they control the entire internet. anyone older than them gets discarded as a worthless out of touch boomer, anyone younger is a dumb ipad kid who is too young to have an opinion. anything that goes against their ethos gets buried. and then the moment they feel threatened, they play the victim and act completely oblivious to their control.

and all they've done is convince the boomer and gen x lawmakers to ban teens from social media, ban phones from high school, and convince the entire world we are the same as gen alpha

it's not an actual concern of them; it's a power move so they can keep their influence by silencing the younger generation.

they may have no structural power, but when people look at the internet, they think they're getting a universal feed with opinions from all ages, but it is actually heavily curated by people born between 97-02 (give or take).

this is why you never give power to 20 somethings. we can learn a lot from them.

i will be silenced for this post, but i'm telling the truth. if i get into so much trouble for telling the truth, then the rest of the time what are they telling you?

us younger zoomers need to stop submitting to them and start fighting for ourselves.

REASONS WHY 2003/2004 ARE THE LAST OF THE ELITE AND 2008 IS GEN ALPHA

My siblings, born in 2003 and 2004, remember a world before our parents divorced

Me, born in 2008, does not remember a world before our parents divorced, which is a Gen Alpha trait.

This 'Sleepy Jerry' meme has completely taken over the internet.

Jokes aside, it is absolutely crazy how much they are glued to their phone screens. It does make sense, though; they grew up completely raised on their iPads - this is just the teenage version of that. Still, us older gen z were the last generation to not be crippled by screen addiction.

It's scary how overpowered auto shoot is

I'm a PC player, and I had always just assumed that when I died to auto shoot snipers that it was just pure cope and a skill issue on my end. So, to figure out how powerful auto shoot actually is, I decided to try and snipe on mobile for the first time ever.

For reference, I have absolutely zero experience playing on mobile. I have been a PC player my entire life; I have over a decade of experience. A touchscreen is completely foreign to me, and I literally cannot even aim and shoot properly; I play like a 5-year-old iPad kid.

Anyway, I hop into a match on mobile, and I camp at the back of the map, hardscoping, and the auto shoot just does all the work for me. I obviously died here and there because, well, I'm horrible on mobile, but I was able to get so many free cheap kills.

I'm probably the worst mobile player to ever exist, and yet I still performed well with auto shoot. Imagine it in the hands of an actual skilled mobile player; terrifying.

I am never going to touch auto shoot again. It is completely unfair, and to everyone here reading this, you are 100% valid in your complaints.
