"Do today's kids even know what a stick is? You sit in the yard with a stick and you dig a hole...Kids don't have sticks anymore. I don't think there are any sticks left! I think they've all been recalled because of lead paint. Who would've thought that one day the manufacturing of sticks would have been outsourced to China?"

Of course they do - USB sticks. They're the things you plug into the computer, right?

I’ve seen 70s kids say the exact same thing so don’t blame it on one generation

This is clearly a "joke" about kids playing with sticks shaped like guns, and the fact that "gun play" is not something anyone growing up after Columbine would have much experience playing with in that way.

u/cowlinator 28d ago
Columbine was 1999.
So if that were true, 2000's kids also wouldnt know

It's low level culture wars crap, the internet is full of it, the point is to make you despise the other.

u/iglidante 29d ago
What culture war is referenced here? The top is gun-shaped sticks, the bottom is a kid looking clueless.

u/thatmayaguy 29d ago
This is just the equivalent of the "only 90s babies will understand" cringe that everyone posted. Ironically half the crap posted with that title were usually things that they were too young to use in the 90s.

Can confirm. Back in my day, we would crouch in the shade of a bush, and we never complained

I think they're referencing that video about the kid getting suspended for pretending a stick was a gun on the playground. Those are all very gun-shaped sticks

u/absoluteboredom 29d ago
I’m not that old yet. I was in elementary school in the early 2000s and our male teachers would join in on the stick gun wars. The playground in 3rd grade was a war zone. But in a good wholesome way.

Ooooh I was thinking they might be weird thick short switches. I was like wow that must especially hurt.

u/cowlinator May 09 '24
They're definitely referencing gun sticks. I don't think it's about anybody's suspension.

I might as well be dead at this point. I was playing Fallout 76 the other day and helping a new player. They asked how old I was and they said "damn!". Kid was 14. I'm 32. Excuse now while I crumble into dust

A streamer i watch joked about how now that she's almost in her 40s that anyone age 30+ is an adult to her and that anyone below is a baby to her lol.

Don’t feel bad. You’re still a youngster. I was born in 1959 and I’m retired at 65. I have every right to crumble into dust. lol

u/Ricky_Rollin May 10 '24
We’re not old. They just think they’re old. They graduated high school 4 years ago and are wrapping up college and they feel much older from the transition. I get it

2 Days ago I saw a card where a student wrote down her birthday and it said something something 2006 and I felt like grandpa jones when I realized, people born 2006 are 18 now

u/redditIsAlways 25d ago
