I feel like this is less of a generational thing and more of a current society thing. This comic strip basically just described my life post COVID and I’m 41 lol
There’s just more of us now, Covid caused a lot of trauma that has resulted in a lot of shut-ins. Remote work, instacart, Amazon prime, GrubHub, it’s easier than ever to never leave the comfort of your house. I’m betting there’s a subset of the population that hasn’t left their home in 3 years.
I used to get antsy if I didn’t get out, see people, but it doesn’t bother me anymore.
COVID really fucked me up. Going to the grocery store used to be a normal thing. Hell, going to the office was a normal thing. I did these normal things for decades!
Now I’ll do about anything to avoid leaving the house and interacting with other humans. Outside is different deal!
We haven’t begun to talk about it severe trauma that 2020 was for a lot of people. We turned the entire country into involuntary agoraphobiacs and told them they’d die if they didn’t comply. Then we blasted fear and anger into them for years.
GenZ is just broken, they’ll never be ‘normal’ again. Millenials have checked out, Gen A is basically feral. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K my friend.
if you can afford it, i recommend people try it 👍 however, i am in poverty in the USA, so it's a no go. i can't even see the dentist till the middle of next year
I’m not in poverty and I still feel that. Only thing that’s always worked for me is physical work. Get out and take a walk, at the very least. But that’s kinda hard when you’re too depressed to even do that much.
Had a week off this spring, thought I was getting my kids. Ex fucked me over, despite a court order. Instead of going back to work, I worked my ass off outside on my house. I haven’t been that happy since.
ich_iel is peak German humor and internet culture. It’s a shame that they live on forbidden lands now. Although there’s hope, as the great migration has already begun
I guess I’m doing it wrong then, all I see are days old posts about how this place isn’t reddit and how people are délétion their reddit posts, and how life without reddit is si much more betterer. REDDIT! Where are the tits?
