Or because it's basically obsolete and some boomers still cling to their irrelevant skills. I mean, just ask them how many of them actually know how to make their own butter? And why don't they know that anymore? Boomers these days...
"Kids these days don't know the things" "Did you teach them?" "Fuck no, parked them in front of the TV, and _they DIDN'T LEARN the THINGS!"_ "Because you didn't teach them and TV only teaches indolence, nice work boomers"
@@MyRegardsToTheDodoIrrelevant skills. Like reading books, writing correct English and not stereotyping people as "boomers", "millennials" etc purely because of the year they were born. The new prejudice is ageism
@dwin6531 Being a boomer has nothing to do with age, it's a mindset. And you're a perfect example, total boomer mindset and probably not that old. Oh, and if my English is somewhat incorrect, sorry, English is only my third language (but my Latin is actually very, very rusty, so my English is probably better than that).
Thank you! Just scrolling through the comments hoping someone else noticed this. She has at least one, I’m sure I heard her mentioning taking her “kids to the park” on a tv show once, so probably two or more. I’m not a stalker or anything, it must be common knowledge.
Boomers: kids don’t play outside what a travesty My boomer neighbours: file a complaint with the house management that kids shouldn’t play outside after 7pm coz they’re too noisy
I would rather argue that kids who ARE bullied end up as furries because they seek a community and a type on anonymity that they never got to experience as a kid. I'm not a furry, but the furries I HAVE interacted with literally just want to enjoy their hobby without being harassed. And they've all been pretty genuine people.
Thank you! For a moment I was worried that Memeulous was just randomly dicking on furries. Maybe he is. If so, it's nice to be reminded that he's wrong. But I'm trying to give His Imperial Memeulousness the benefit of the doubt by interpreting it as: 'If you don't bully people, then they feel free to be themselves, which is a good thing.' Big love either way. 🫶
@@mittsmittsy9683 I’m so sorry science class failed you. Sure, the sun is MARGINALLY expanding continuously, because it’s a ball of gas. Our sun did not exist at the beginning of the universe, nor will it survive until the death of the universe. Our sun is a yellow dwarf star. The lifespan of a yellow dwarf star is about 10 billion years. Our sun is 4.5 billion years old - aka, middle aged. The universe is 13.8 billion years old (approximately). That means our universe existed for 12 Billion years before our sun was born. Currently, the sun is about 14% bigger than it was 4.5 billion years ago. 14% bigger in 4.5 billion years. That is a microscopically small increase in size every year. Additionally, the sun only has a certain amount of energy. The sun expanding every year does not increase its energy output (aka heat). Think of it like a balloon - the air that’s going to be inside the balloon already exists outside the balloon. When I blow up the ballon, the outside rubber expands, but I haven’t created new air. Same with the sun. It’s getting marginally bigger, but that doesn’t mean it has more fuel. This is science you learn at 15 years old. If you look at the relationship between the Earth’s climate change and the sun’s size, you’re gonna QUICKLY find there IS NO relationship. The sun’s size has absolutely NOTHING to do with climate change, bc if it did the earth would have been heating up at a rate parallel to the sun’s size increasing since its birth, which we know it has not. PS- a quick google search gives you all this info and more, from a variety of reputable sources. I cannot believe I’m in the RU-vid comments explaining that climate change exists bc of humans, and not bc “the sun is getting bigger and hotter”.
2:10 He's technically not wrong though, the sun is getting bigger every year as it gets older. Probably not enough to make a difference to us though but yeah...
It's also decreasing in mass as it gets bigger. So far it's about 20% larger than it was back when it was "born" 4ish billion years ago. So if that would have been a reason for climate change, we would have had a temperature increase by 20% over the last 4ish billion years (which we hadn't).
Marathons are named after the town the Greeks defended from Persians and then forced marched to Athens from. It's why the distance is what it is as well as the name, they held the anniversary or something a few years back. Just in case you didn't know the context on that one!
Not really. Originally it's about a runner during the Persian wars who ran from Athens to Sparta in two days to ask for help. About 600 years later this was turned into a legend that a runner ran from Marathon to Athens, declared that Athens won in the battle of Marathon and then collapsed and died (but considering that 42 kilometers isn't that much for a trained runner, it's most likely just that, a story). This makes the entire meme even more absurd, because THE ORIGINAL MARATHON RUNNER DIED.
Tbh bullies kinda encourage furries by further isolating them from the 'popular' group and forcing them to create their own groups built around niche interests.
hi george! yes, in the ancient times, there were indeed races where they ran in full armour, including their spear and shield - it was a military exercise and a race to show off their physical prowess. it was performed at the olympics and the isthmian games, and some others. horrible histories taught me this :)
Running with spears and shields: At the ancient Olympics there was an event for running in armour, which presumably included spear and shield. We're not sure of the length (probably one stade, which is estimated to have been a little under 200 yards - so not a marathon.) However, this was scheduled last, and treated as something of a joke event. As for the first man to run a Marathon (if you believe the legend) - his name was Pheidippides. On completing his run, he blurted out his message then dropped dead - which is not an approach to marathon running I would recommend.
Pheidippides ran from Athens to Sparta (~245 kilometers) within two days to ask for support against the Persians, this was kind of turned into the "original" Marathon legend 600 years ago by Plutarch, who used the name for his runner, who ran from Marathon to Athens (~42 km) and died. Plutarch was the first one to claim this, and it's most likely only a story he created for propaghanda reasons.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo I did say "If you believe the legend." It's one of those stories that deserves to be exempt from too much sceptical analysis. As for Pheidippides' run from Athens to Sparta - you might not be aware that in 1983 an annual race called the Spartathon was inaugurated, running as nearly as possible along the original route. To be sure, modern roads (and shoes) are used, but the record is twenty hours and twenty-five minutes. Oh, and Plutarch wrote about 1,900 years ago.
7:05 - Yes, my Dad really did push me down a hill to get me to learn to ride my bike. OK, it was more of a slope, and not that steep. But when I fell off (onto concrete) he picked me up and did it again.
That bike one - I'm mid 50's meaning I learnt to ride a bike in the 70's - and that is not far from the truth. It wasn't about learning to ride the bike, it was about learning not to fall off the bike.
Ok, but that's not the general way people learned how to ride a bike, that's just how shitty parents taught their children how to ride a bike. There are enough of these around these days too.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Nah, that is how it was done in the 70's. The dangerous shit we got up to and the injuries we got back then would cause a major court case these days, but back then it was par for the course.
@@slaphead90 Well, I'm an 80s kid (yes, I am a millenial ;) ) so I can't really tell about the 70s. But back in the late 80s/early 90s it actually depended on where you lived. My parents never pushed me down anything, but I also had my fair share of injuries, but if you're from a more rural area that's still the same, atleast around here. Helicopter parents are more city folk and have been back when I was young, but there's more of them today (maybe because there are far more families with two cars nowadays, so mummy actually has a car aswell to pick up the kids). I remember when I was in kindergarden (late 80s) there was one mother who refused to let her kid ride the bus home with us, she always picked him up. The kindergarden was one town over and the bus was chartered especially for us kids, plus there was one mother riding with the bus driver all the time (she got paid to do so), so this really wasn't a big deal. That mother who always picked up her kid was considered weird and overprotective by everybody, including the adults.
@@slaphead90 You would get your child taken in any civilised country if you're constantly pushing him/her down the hill. It happened in the 70s, in the 90s and now. There are always shitty parents who don't care their kids get injured, that doesn't mean _everyone_ should be the same.
Every time I see a Facebook meme about young people being glued to their phones I laugh at the irony, how are the boomers looking at the meme? Yeah, also on a phone, and chances are they've spent half the day laughing at minion memes too
I absolutely love the boomers on Facebook who complain about how kids these days are so glued to their phones and don't know hard work if it hit them in the face... Even though they are the generation that raised them that way.
the reason the marathon runner is displayed with a shield is the origin of the marathon, where after the battle of marathon after defeating the persians, the athenians sent a messenger back to the city to report their victory and warn them from another attack, and in honour of this victory its called running a marathon. (the messenger btw is said to have been so exhausted he dropped dead after delivering the message)
the whole things is that some of these memes reach past irony and become funny as hell. if the post about girls with small cars was tweeted by a young queer person on Twitter it would be so fucking funny, but it's all about the context of who posted it originally
Memeulous your such a funny guy i probably will never unsubscribe even though i dont watch yt anymore i wanna let you know that your amazing mate and deserve all the love you get i hope you get the fame you deserve because your vids were always so funny and creative have a great day mate ❤
We do work without gloves... just with a protective cream instead, if you refuse to use the cream you got to use the gloves still though, depends where you are.
3:38 It's not wrong... If you work every single day. 365*274 is over 100k... Not accounting for business cost deductions, tax or for the simple fact most people do not want to/simply cannot work every single day in a year.
0:27 the point is that they’re all white, blonde, and have blue eyes, its eugenics shit sigh, im pretty sure it came from a nzi since its similar to the “aryan” race thing
7:30 Manual cars: Those confuse American drivers (age doesn't matter, though). The rest of the world can probably use them easily (and they're better than automatic cars). Maps? Seriously, who can't read maps? Even if you use google maps you can read maps. Driver's Logs? Never been a professional driver, never needed them. But yes, the picture in the lower right confuses me. Nobody should wear hiking/work boots that clean. And yes, I am a millenial, I was born in 1984.
2:35 I think the marathon meme is a reference to the battle of marathon, where the greek army recieved news that a persian army was going to attack athens, and so they ran a distance of what is now a marathon to defeat them
So it makes even less sense then when it was out of context is what you're saying. Is their answer to put people's lives in danger and make the runners who want to save them carry spears and shields? What is the fucking message?
My dad taught me how to ride a bike 60 years ago. I had stabilisers, we were close to the house, and any cut, graze or abrasion was washed, dried with a clean piece of surgical lint and dressed. Grandad was in the First World War in the trenches and was aware of the danger of infection. Dad only removed the stabilisers when he was satisfied I was able to try riding without them. It was one of the proudest days of my life
0:46 You were so close! Like most things, the meaning is subjective depending experiences, likes, goals... But the agreed on idea, is your short term needs might be easier but longer more straining goals takes hard work. Like you content btw love to see more dhar man videos.
Marathons come from a story about a soldier running a long distance to the city of Marathon to deliver news of an attack or something. The soldier died of a heart attack right afterwards. Ah, the good old days.
8:53 also if your kids dont know that...then why didnt *you* teach them? boomers dont teach their kids shit and then whine when their kids dont know it 😭
8:13 actually that did happen. It's called 'try that in a small town' and luckily he wasn't successfully cancelled but he also got called racist even tho there wasn't any mention about race in the song
Here’s what you do whenever you get one of these boomers harassing you and calling you soft and dumb, ask them to: -differentiate arctan x - name a strong acid - explain how cells work - define decentralisation Then shake your head and sigh knowingly when they can’t answer. Sweet moment for me.
7:55 It's most unwise for city states To raise a lion within their gates But if they do, they'll find it pays To tolerate his little ways - Aristophanes
7:38 I think this one is specifically for long-haul truckers, and i'm guessing the shoes indicate that back then they used to have to do more work or some crap.
2:39 There is an explanation for that. The first ever marathon was by a Greek soldier that ran 24 km,from Marathon (where a battle occurred) to Athens,to alert the Athenians that Athens won the battle of Marathon against the Persian Empire,legend says that after running the 24 km,he collapsed and died immediately after he communicated the news. That is why marathons are 24 km today. Still agree with you here,just answering a question. Cheers!
"If you live to be anything other than a soulless spawn factory for the benefit of the reactionary subhuman horde, you are unhappy" is the meaning I'm extrapolating from that
Reasons to drive a manual car. Once you get used to it, it really is no extra effort, but you end up having more control over your car’s acceleration. Perfectly shifting gear just feels really good; it’s like a minigame. Manual gearboxes are more lightweight and therefore you pay less road tax. Wanting to drive automatic is perfectly valid, but there are genuine reasons to prefer manual.
