Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”
Is bait.
im 40. im a millenial.
…im old
<.<
Hell, even the older Gen-Z grew up with analog cameras, VHS players, paper maps, and no computers.
I’m not sure people realize zoomers are almost 30, and millennials are nearing 50.
The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.
As far as mental maturity goes I skipped from 15 to 65, which is to say I’ve never truly behaved as a normal adult free of childish and/or eccentric whims.
And people acting like “boomers” are now usually Gen-x.
True. It is not a boomer who made that meme. It is either a troll or yet another bitter Gen X.
: Takes a sip of a juice pouch:
It is true. A millennial becomes more bitter with age.
: smacks tongue, eyes roll back as though recalling a childhood memory:
But millennials have these… : swishes liquid millennial over palate:
Bracing tannins that challenge you and require further observation.

And he pondered, how DID he find himself at some sort of pre-historic blood ritual? Was this not his beautiful wife? Was this not his beautiful car?
Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll officially transition to “30s to mid 40s.”
Wow thanks I’m going to go cry now
Don’t leave me high. Don’t leave me dry-igh-igh…
Even the digitals you had in the 00’s didn’t have very good red eye correction (if any at all)
Red eye correction didn’t come to the default camera app on iPhones until 2013.
My oldest nephew was born in 2003 and I was still having to manually remove red eye using Paintshop Pro 7 from my mum’s digital photos of him when was about 6 or 7.
It was so bad that the PC software that came with the camera often had a red eye removal feature. I remember being fascinated when I figured out you could use it on things other than eyes and it just took the red out of anything.
I immediately jumped to magical thinking and every person you took a picture of was robbed of blood.
Before anyone asks, yes, I’m on the line with RL Stine as we speak.
Did it do some form of automatic eye detection or did you have to manually select the eyes?
You had to select the eyes. The software I remember had a little square box that popped up, and you moved it over the eyes and clicked to remove the red eye.
Wait until they find out about GenAlpha
Red eye happens because of the flash. So still happens on digital cameras. It’s just nowadays they automatically detect and correct for it after the shot has taken. Or some cameras can do a pre flash before the flash for the shot fires or a light turns on when you half press the shutter button. That way the pupil will shrink and less light will enter the pupil and not light up the back of the eye.
I hate cameras that do the pre-flash with a burning passion, there’s a period in time where every (flash) photo of me either has me with my eyes closed or visibly straining to keep them open.
People call “millennials” young because they are old but too proud to say “teenagers”.
Plus the generational infighting is what the ruling class will use to replace or supplement the culture war.
Why can’t pride say teenagers
I think they mean GenZ but this meme looks pretty old so it was probably actuate when it was posted originally.
When millenials were young, they were directly experiencing red eye photos, so there’s no way this meme could have ever been right.
I mean, if it was posted when millennials were young, it is still not at all accurate.
One thing I found interesting is!how red-eye reduction works - it pre-flashes you eye briefly, before the main flash. So your pupils constrict and light doesn’t reflect off the bottom of your eyes. Yes, you are part of the mechanism!
Some strange kind of bio-mechanical symbiotic mechanism is that!
But then your subjects relax their pose on the first flash and you have 1/2 the group start walking off by the time the 2nd one flashes.
So that’s why the choice seems to be between red eyes or tiny pupils. I have some old photos where the surroundings look really dark, the flash on the people makes them look ghostly pale and everyone has unnaturally constricted pupils. If we were trying to avoid demonic pictures, I think we failed.
My dad had an expensive as hell Olympus point and shoot with this. It was so fucking annoying. Took like a half minute for a snap shot and I’d be blind from all the strobing.
I hope I did not spark a generational rift here, I only wanted to share a funny meme I found.
You done fucked up. There is no wrath like a millennial accused of being young.
You’re fine. Millennials love to remind people that they are in fact middle aged, while acting offended about it. Source: am millennial.
Thank you for contributing content to lemmy, and sparking engagement to boot.
Yeah, everyone younger than your generation is a young whippersnapper who doesnt know the olden days. We got that.
Out of curiosity, how old are you?
I am Gen X
Ok boomer
How young do you think millennials are? You seem to have us confused with zoomers and gen alpha. I’m not even one of the older millennials and not only grew up with film cameras, but my parents still had a rotary phone when I was a child.
Edit: I also used a typewriter through high school, although that was mostly for practicing typing skills.
Additionally, while we did have cassette tapes, and later on CDs as well, I spent a considerable amount of time as a child listening to my parents’ record collection.
We’re still feeling the aftereffects even now…
Mate I’m a millennial and I had my photos developed at the chemists. You’re thinking of gen z.
Seriously, I remember taking a disposable camera with me on our school trip Washington. I also remember that it was during that trip that we all found out you could open those things up and turn them into mini tasers.
You’re thinking of young gen z. I am gen z and as a kid I also had some of my photos developed.
Either way, I think we can agree that millennials know what film is. Many of us have even developed it ourselves. You know back when people were thought things other than app development and learned helplessness.
Millenials grew up going into a store to have photos developed from film.
Is this from Being Human? That’s Bishop, right?
It’s from the TV show Supernatural.
Oooooh right, I should finally watch that. He was great as a vampire in BH, so I just assumed it was from there with those eyes…
Let him find out the hard way that the demons won
SATANIC PANIC!!!
Millennial here, have taken plenty of pictures during the end of the demon uprising in the mid-late 90s. It went on for a while.
It wasn’t all Orange Julius and great music.
How, uh, young do you think millennial are exactly? Pretty much all of us were around for cameras before phones.
I had a super cool N64 film camera that I took with me to sleepovers and took lots of shitty photos with because I was a dumbass kid that didn’t know anything about photography.
Is Supernatural still shooting more seasons?
I thought the demon chasing the Winchesters had yellow eyes
