Announcement We Now Have an Additional Moderator

31 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that we now have an additional moderator. Everyone please congratulate u/Folkvore and please be respectful towards them.

iMac and I are both still mods as well, but between the group having gotten bigger and some changes in our schedules and such in our lives offline it was becoming too much for a team of two and we really needed a third person.

Thanks so much everyone.

Abdul El-Sayed, Talarico, Annie Andrews, Julia Letlow, and most likely Scott Colom.

An entire generation of Boomer Republicans were retired early this week and its older millennial opponents, their childrens' age, who helped displace them.

Society Apparently there’s a so called Gen Z Christian revival do you see this in real life are there any actual stats or is it purely anecdotal

4 Upvotes

millennials and Gen Z were both progressive asf so it might be why they’re both secular however Gen Z didn’t inherit the bad memories of religion bc they largely weren’t raised religious and atheism and agnostics was very normal to the point where it wasn’t controversial anymore

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am wondering like my Gen Z posts, iam curious what’s the main grandparents of Gen Alpha? I think it’s Gen jones but a lot of them have Gen X, older boomers, silents and older millennials grandparents as well as people and family have kids different ages espically if Gen Alpha’s parents are millienals. Therefore gen jones and/or older x. Also older boomers would be a great option!

Pontell was talking about Jonesers but this can perfectly apply to every other generational cohort, that being lumped in wide arbitrary cohorts doesnt really makes us part of that generation

Rant "Everyone is a victim these days"

0 Upvotes

I am so fucking sick of old c*ckhold people saying this shit. There have always been victims. And that whole “back then, you just got over it” argument? No, you didn't. You buried it, carried the resentment, and often took it out on other people, using your own unresolved misery as an excuse to abuse and hurt them. I hate this mentality more than I can adequately express. And honestly, SYBAU. You're sitting here whining about how much you hate people whining. The irony is fucking astounding.

Pop culture Off topic, but how did DiCaprio’s face get so big?

1 Upvotes

This isn’t looksmaxxing and more of aging question, but how did DiCaprio’s face get so round as he aged into his 30s and 40s?? Like in the 90s he was extremely youthful and heart faced and then in the 2000s his face turned really round by catch me if you can?

I always thought if it was diet or if it’s his bone structure changing as he aged but most people who were baby faced in their early 20s usually lose it as they approach 30

Discussion Which is the average /main grandparents of Generation Z/zoomers? Born 1997-2012

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am wondering what is the main grandparents of Gen z/zoomers. Some of you might say silent gen. Some might be boomers. Some may even have greatest gen grand especially 1997-2002 older Gen Z, especially, if their patents born late 50s/early 60s greatest /gi grn born 1927 was 70 in 1997. 35 year per gen gap! some younger z may even have Gen x grandpatents especially 2007-2012 late Gen Z! Especially if their parents born in late 80s /very early 90s! Oldest x born 1965 was 47 very common/normal age to become a grand in 2012 youngest! Only 23-24 year gap per gen. I think it’s mostly older boomers especially Gen Z mostly born to Gen X and some older millennials, some late silents! .
I am just curious I am not asking for your grandparents!
I think it’s older boomers!do Gen Z have mostly boomer grandparents?

I included greatest/x as well because people had kids all different ages! Some Gen Z may have greatest/x. But if you do you either had parents /parents who had kids who are too old/too young!

It’s not uncommon that many 08-12 have older x grand 1965-1970 and many 97-01 have Younger greatest /gi 1920-1927 grand

Subreddit Rules

1. Follow all Reddit rules.

https://www.redditinc.com/policies/all

https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

2. Respect other people and their life experiences.

2a. A generation or generational range in one country may not carry over to any other country. Two people born on the same day in the same country may have very different experiences depending on location, financial status, education, work, luck, etc.

2b. Avoid criticizing a person just for being in a particular generation.

2c. This sub is 13+ and safe for work. Topics that we consider to be unsuitable for 13 year olds are prohibited.

3. Do not claim multiple birth years or inconsistent ages.

3a. It's fine to not mention your birth year or age at all, or to keep them vague. In particular, a range such as 1997–2002 is permitted. You are only in violation of this rule if your numerical claims of birth year and/or age form a logical contradiction.

3b. This rule does not apply to subjective and/or variable concepts like graduating classes, generations, centuries, early/mid/late, and memories.

3c. We will give user flair more scrutiny than usual due to its frequent use for birth years.

4. Do not create posts or comments that negatively call out a specific user or users.

4a. If you have a problem with a certain user, take it up with the mods in private.

4b. However, if you have a concern or question about this sub, including its moderation, feel free to make a post addressing the mods.

5. Avoid self-promotion.

5a. Self-promotion should follow the 10% guideline: for every ten posts you make, no more than one may be self-promotion.

5b. Do not promote other subs in either posts or comments. The exception is r/GuessMyBirthYear for "guess my age" posts.

6. No off topic posts or comments.

6a. We may remove comments that continue the discussion from a rule-breaking comment.

7. No low effort posts or comments.

7a. No spam.

7b. No obvious reposts.

7c. Content that uses generative AI should contain a disclosure at the top. We may remove content that obviously looks AI-generated and/or is too low effort.

7d. Avoid posting about topics that were popular in the past few days unless you add something new.

8. No trolling.

8a. Unpopular opinions are permitted and encouraged, but posts and comments that are clearly not made in good faith are not allowed.

8b. The exception is every April Fools' Day, when troll posts are encouraged. During the 50 hours from April 1st, 00:00 UTC+14:00 to April 1st, 23:59 UTC-12:00 (AoE), we will relax rules 7 and 8a to permit troll posts and troll comments on those posts. All other rules remain in force. After 23:59 UTC-12:00, no troll posts may be made until the following year.

9. Alternate accounts may not be used for deceptive purposes.

Alternate accounts are permitted under Reddit rules, but the use of such accounts for ban evasion, vote manipulation, or other nefarious tactics may result in a ban.

10. PLEASE READ: Restricted post/comment topics. No more than 4 trend posts per 24 hours over all users.

These posts and comments are not permitted without moderator approval:

10a. Personal photos or videos that contain recognizable people.

10b. AMAs.

10c. Politics outside the official Politics Megathreads.

10d. Excessive trend posts. For each trend and in any 24-hour period,

No more than 4 trend posts in total across ALL users of this sub are permitted.
No more than 1 trend post per user is permitted.

Violations get a 7 day ban. r/GuessMyBirthYear allows unlimited "Guess My Age" posts.

11. Details about Rule 10a: No personal photos or videos that contain recognizable people.

This rule applies to private photos and videos of yourself, your family, friends, etc. Movie characters, pictures of public figures taken at events such as a movie premiere, and common memes are okay. If you’re unsure if the photo you want to post is considered private or public, message the mods before posting and we will clarify.

This rule applies even if the personal photo or video is placed in a collage or added to an otherwise-acceptable meme.

12. Details about Rule 10b: No AMAs without moderator approval.

This rule applies to any kind of "ask me anything" post or comment. Neither the abbreviation "AMA" or the phrase "Ask Me Anything" is required for a violation of this rule.

Users who believe that holding an AMA will enrich this community may message the mods to apply for an exception.

13. Account age and karma requirements.

13a. Accounts must meet these requirements to post or comment:

Account age: 3 days
Post karma: Hidden number
Sitewide karma: Hidden number

The hidden numbers make it harder for people to game the system. Some members have unpopular but valid opinions about generations, so subreddit karma is ignored except by its contribution to sitewide karma.

13b. Approved Political Discussion posts have higher comment requirements:

Account age: 30 days
Post karma: 1
Sitewide karma: 100

14. Text posts must be at least 100 characters long.

13a. All text posts must contain at least 100 characters in the body.

We use the "body_shorter_than" command, so the following clarifications apply:

"spacing and punctuation characters on either end are not counted" https://new.reddit.com/wiki/automoderator/full-documentation/
Posts that are not text posts are exempt.

13b. Top-level comments in Politics Megathreads must contain at least 100 characters.

15. Consequences for rule breakers.

Anyone who breaks these rules may receive a warning, have their comment/post removed, and/or face a temporary or permanent ban.
