I still remember watching the news as a child right after the tsunami of 2004 and seeing the death toll rising day by day.

It is only going to get worse with climate catastrophy barely being addresed. Hunger and water shortage is only going to increasr the frequencies of wars and pandemics. Which will result in more and more extremism.

Whenever millenials post stuff like this I’m like ‘huh, welcome to the human race I guess? You’re slowly catching up to all the generations even the new generation after you has seen some shit ‘ I mean I’m not sure where you’re intending to take this complaint about being human. If you find the manager or a help desk let the rest of us know. Some of us been looking for it since the 70s.

We're also closing in on a potential second plague here with bird flu since there's been a concerning surge of infections in cats and the current regime is refusing to act on it.

Don't forget the return of measles, as well as even more e-coli and salmonella outbreaks as food safety is curtailed.

Oh yeah, 9/11. The biggest issue of this generation. I imagine millennials in Ukraine be like “war is tough, but thank God 9/11 is over”

‘Thank goodness we don’t have to wear masks anymore’ meanwhile a bomb drops somewhere in the backdrop..

Pretty sure we are in a "unofficial world war 3" considering how there's like 6 countries at war

Russia vs Ukraine

Israel vs Palestine

India vs Pakistan

Americans vs America.

Does US vs the world in economic war count?

Add a housing crisis, the construction of a corporate surveillance state, a fascist takeover and the impending employment apocalypse of AI implementation.

I mean, people who were born in early 1900's would have spanish flu + 2 WW's just in one life time(if they reach the second one)

/+ in Germany there was the biggest hyper Inflation imagenable.

Do people not remember that they didn't have cars until like 1920? Do people not understand that most roads weren't paved until like the 50s? It's foolish to think we're the only generation living through lifetime events. Motherfuckers they were people that went through World War I and World War II. They were veterans of World War 1 that enlisted in World War II. There are people born in the fifties that lived through the computer Revolution. Do people not understand that the internet is only 30 years old?

as a gen Z I still don't get why Y2K was such a big deal

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Computers were not designed to roll over the year. This would have caused the dates to roll back to 1900 or some day in the past, breaking any logic doing math on dates.

The programming community made huge efforts to fix this problem, and they did across many sectors.

The fact that people don't understand how big of a deal this was is due to the efforts of those that did and were able to correct it.

The media talking about power outages and nukes launching due to Y2K was standard news hype/fear mongering during a crisis with rather boring (to the layman) causes and fixes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

the people problem of any crisis.

If you did nothing, and it becomes a big problem, everyone riots over why you did nothing about it.

If you raised awareness, busted ass, and prevented the issue from happening.. then everyone riots over how much of a "waste" it all was since nothing happened.

It was actually a bit of a big deal. Luckily it got figured out with enough time to fix it before it really effected anything. They were pulling cobalt programmers out of retirement to fix old systems and auditing anything important for years before 2000.
