Triforce!  

Sips thinking microwaves are for boomers makes him even more of a boomer.

*Pyrion:* "Nine people talking is not interesting!" *Me, watching Yogscast GTA and TTT for the banter:*

I am listening to this, next to my microwave in my student house, eating a meal which i just microwaved.

Sips definition of boomer appears to be 'anything that existed before 10 years ago'

Microwaves were less annoying when they just gave a single ding instead of the ones we have now which keep beeping at you even after the door is opened.

I love that they talked shit about boomer appliances, then proceeded to have the most boomer conversation imaginable.

What Pyrion is saying at 23:34 might be why I, a 21 year old gamer, enjoy listening to three dads talking about microwaves for an hour. Either that or it's yet another product of the infantilization of the west.

Microwaves are very common household appliances. They are as common a Refrigerators or toasters. Sips just never owned a microwave in his adulthood, and so he made the wrongful assumption that microwaves had somehow lost their popularity after his childhood. If microwaves had been a temporary trend of the atomic/plastic age, then sips would be right. Pyrion had a point in that every modern invention has its root in a time before ours. It just doesn't make sense to claim that one of the staples of the modern middle class world is a relic of the past.

Pyrion really is the sensible one...

36:00 Lew Lew is close to evolving from the Bristol Pusher into the Naked Bristol Slapper...

Pyrion spot on with students using microwaves. I'm on my 4th year in college now and pretty much 70% of food I consume comes from the microwave.

In this podcast: "I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere".

To answer the question that sips asked about solar panels. (Although he won't read triforce comments). If you can afford them, definitely buy them. They will pay for themselves in roughly 5-10 years. All while reducing your electric bill. If you can't afford them, wait ~5 years, when they are more affordable and buy them. So tell sips to buy solar panels if he can afford them.

Lewis keeping notes of his wasted time; Pyrion hates that. Apparatus keeping track of activity; Pyrion loves that.

I really want to hear more about sips playing Nintendo games with his son. And he should finish Breath of the Wild, even if it is a bit difficult.

If you do any sort of cooking or baking, you're a boomer. Sorry folks, you heard it here first from Sips.

This is so absolutely peak Boomer.

How to spot a boomer - step 1: look in the lower right of this video

"Good old America looking after the kids" For some reason that made me laugh out loud

I think specific items aren't specifically a boomer item. I think it's how you use these items.

PFlax has a real point about equity release, it’s another way for banks to accumulate wealth.

When they were talking about "mystery toys", the toy line "Monsters in my pocket" as they was named in the UK, popped in to my mind. They had several packs were you didn't see what was in it and hoped that you got a rare monster in a rare colour. I had a mighty collection of them.

Being disabled and unable to stand and prepare meals for long, I can only cook with my microwave oven and I'm not yet 30. Even if they were invented back then, they've surpassed a specific time period, even if people like Sips don't need them. Sips doesn't even understand what the whole 'boomer' meme thing is about. He's technically correct about time periods, but Pyrion is correct about why it's even getting discussed - it's not an issue of specific age, but outdated views and expectations. Hence a lot of people getting told 'ok boomer' aren't actually boomers, they've just absorbed/are demonstrating the same mentality of the stereotype of the people from that time.

Buying solar panels and electric cars, even if not super effective at the moment, nevertheless means investing money into green tech which will help it grow. (note, I believe I've read that individual electric cars actually do make a positive difference, but I don't wanna look up the facts right now.)

14:34 as a Norwegian, I had no idea Quisling was an international term, not just a national term, for a traitor. The more you know eh

I fucking died when PFlax busted out the french accent while talking about kinder eggs "Hohoho, they'll shit it out im sure"

I think Sips means the microwave hasn't improved since the sixties like other appliances.

I, a student, use a microwave to defrost bread and reheat leftovers. I wouldn't fucking DREAM of cooking in one though. That's vile.

Thank god PFlax is here to be the voice for everyone. Sips is a real boomer for thinking like that. Boomer is a mind set, not just the year when things are made.

Dog has to bark 111 times now

i love how pyrion thinks that a house and money get passed on to your children in this day and age. unless you are very rich the house is sold and the money from the house and savings go to paying for your care home because your kids have to work too many hours to afford to live to be able to look after you and the nhs cant afford to put you in a nursing home unless you are really ill, so you slowly die of old age unable to take care of yourself anymore but well enough to cling on to life for another 10 years maybe with dementia or Alzheimer's to make it even worse so you can drain all the money down to the £14,250 you are allowed to keep by the government from all your assets (so that includes having to sell your house) at witch point they will start paying your fees for you. so you have 2 choices either spend all your money down to £14,250 before you need a care home (long before as they will check to see if you spent all your money on purpose) or take the logans run approach. so go for the equity release then use enough of the money to buy that camper van and have some spending money then split the rest between your kids and live off your government pension (and workplace pension if you are lucky enough) till you need a care home and then you will have less than £14,250 so you will get care for free

“I don’t have a fucking box with a light in it that goes vrffffffffff” -Sips 2019

Man, owning a car, what a boomer thing to do, eh?

13:15 honestly, I'd rather abolish it at all and make uni free for everyone. There's not point in calling a broken system a new name and pretending that the problems are gone.

Why did Pyrion sound like the Joker when he said" I got a question for you about brains"?

From the title I knew this was gonna be an angry loud one

Two boomer dads arguing over ‘is a micro wave a boomer appliance’ is the most boomer thing I’ve heard

I think we can agree the yellow pages are the biggest boomer thing in existence.

Important Notice: Having a microwave does not make you a boomer...

Pyrion Talking about people being on their high horse from atop his noble steed, which I point out from atop my not quite as noble steed.

Honestly whats the cut off age for Boomers? hhehehe I've known some 50-80 year old folks, that should not "qualify' with the negative stigma folks are assigning to them with this term. I think the word people might be looking for is "sell-out" As I also know many people from teens to 90's that simply sell out from ideals truths facts and reality. One of my best friends passed away to cancer last year. He was in his 70's and anything but a "Boomer" by the description that seems to be attached to them. We played MMO's daily, talked about green energy, discussed the evils of politicians and I truly miss him :( He never sold out. He always recycled, as well as cycled most places. If you'd have met him in a game you'd have expected him to be 20 or so. So, Baby Boomers, aren't the problem, but people, of any age that sells out. Thats my opinion.

This looked like a TTT thumbnail at first glance

Dang, Pflax is spitting hot truth. I'd grab a torch and pitchfork and follow him.

I love so much that Pyrion is finally addressing the boomer microwave argument. While Sips is living his amish life without a microwave.

Babe, i'm breaking up with you. it's not you, you were poggers. it's me, i'm omegalul. im sorry if this is pepehands but it has to be done, i've just been feeling pepega and our relationship has been weirdchamp for months, it's time to end it, no kappa.

Chairs are such 12th century technology

I think Pyrion and Sips are both half right. I think that the older microwaves are boomer appliances, but that doesn't mean that zoomers don't use them

The thing PFlax said about solar panels and the energy to produce them. I was wondering the same thing once and decided to check it out. It turns out they generate the energy they need to be produced in about a week.

I thought Lewis was about to go full John Green with the part about having more of our body being made up of other organisms than of our own cells.

@26:00 In USA, I remember mystery capsule toys were popular in the early 90s. You'd pop in a quarter or so and you get stuff like sticky hands, rubber balls, tattoos, stickers, figures, parachute toys, etc. These have been around for a long time. I want to bet Japan or China made mystery capsules popular.

Lewis ranting about the beach just made me understand why it took him so long to get a girlfriend

I somewhat agree with Pyrion and the whole leaving money for your kids IF they are decent humans with jobs, families, no crime, no alcohol or dr*g abuse otherwise you are handing tons of money to a dead-beat who will spent on it dumb crap and gambling. So might as well spend it yourself, knowing your kids are not worth it or ignore you.

I personally spend most of my time staring into the microwave with my forhead on the glass

Lol, I JUST watched the compilation of openTT jinglejam stream and now this comes out, they really like this microwave topic

Wtf Sips... When my family got our very first microwave, I was 5 years old! In 1993! And we didn't get one earlier because before that there was NONE in the stores! Being born in the late '80s is a boomer thing now?? (Not to mention that we got a landline phone 1 year earlier...)

I think the whole boomer thing is just dumb. Does not have a aurgument, " Ok boomer ". Most generations blame the previous ones. I'm 23 btw. It just seems really cringe whenever I see someone say it unironicaly.

Little did Sips know, he ate from a microwave once. Also, I have had a microwave all 20 years of my life and have used it very commonly. Edit: Isn't talking negatively about other Twitch users against their ToS or something? I've heard more than a few people saying something that my brain processes as "Against ToS". Clearly Sips is just some sort of old-fashion-only Luddite.

Some of those business ideas are actually already a thing. Their theory of fully autonomous vehicles has been a long standing theory. There have been papers written about the "American experience" once no one owns a vehicle. It's a staple of a lot of teens in the USA to get in the car and go. From going on your first date, hooking up in the back seat, picking up friends and causing trouble...all will be lost.

Microwave is sips' trigger word

The moment I saw the microwave thumbnail on the Triforce, it made me think of Sips talking about it in another video and I clicked the video right away.

Wait, they uploaded within a week?

what a great idea sips charging your eletric car with solar panels.

I can't believe Lewis said the words, 'Hip and happening', Jesus that was a boomer moment itself

Lmao sips is so fucking boomer hooollllyyyy shit. I 100% agree with pyrion that airfryers are the *real* boomer appliences.

43:50 Pyrian is 100% wrong, could NOT be wronger. The EROEI (Energy Return On Energy Invested) is now less than a year. Depending on location, the payback time is less than five now.

my mind is in every atom of my being 37:40

wtf are they going on about microwaves... the toaster is some industrial age shit-welp I guess i'm a boomer.

I always thought microwaves were a poor people thing. Certainly cheaper and smaller than an oven. I guess an electric grill is pretty cheap. I used to live in a cramped room with 2 other guys. We had no oven, a mini fridge and a 14 inch microwave that we cooked literally anything we could conceive of inside. Had to keep it super clean as well. A particularly nasty fart could set off the smoke detectors in that place, much less anything burning.

Which Spider-Man is the one that used the military strength of his personal tech empire to invade an entire country even though it was against all international agreements?

us 18 year olds use microwaves daily and if they were boomer tech we wouldn't go near em

holy shit sips that "Falling Down" comment was fucking based

My solar panels already tell me how much they are receiving during the day and also how much power my house is using. why is this a surprise?

BTW, I just got and finished the Bodega book and I can't wait til Flax makes a second book!!

I agree with Sips 100% The beach sucks

Never stop guys. Lewis, Chris, Ted ... Never stop!

I have at least three microwaves in my house, I never use them, they are definatelty a Boomer appliance.

You know what younger Zoomer think is Boomer Stuff that is used in the kitchen. Jiffy Pop!!

9:49 thats not about the money its about how revolutionary it was for ppl at that time its kind of iconic of that era and thats why it 100% is a boomer appliance

if owning boomer-tech makes you a boomer, anyone who owns a PC would be a boomer

only a boomer would think microwaves are a boomer thing

Hair pulled back is called a Croydon face lift.

Can someone link the reddit thread to that generational differences of Spiderman? That sounds super interesting

I think somebody needs to tell Lewis that it’s actually Batman who’s the most profitable superhero of all time....

Listening to 3 boomers arguing about microwaves, amazing.

I get what sips is saying. Basically microwaves haven't changed since the 60s.

I'm 24, have a microwave, at college was only allowed a microwave in my dorm to cook, and use the microwave for reheating or instant meals 90-100% of the time

The logic doesn't work sips, microwaves have been around for a long time but they've been updated. It's like saying houses are a caveman creation. Technically, yeah, but the difference between the first version and the current version is significant enough that they're practically different things.

I wanna hear Sips's definition of a Boomer Device

Sips, Elon musk has created solar panel roof tiles that you can connect to a electric car power bank to charge it and the house. Mind blown!

Microwave totally is a boomer appliance, boomer doesn't mean old, it's a specific period and style.

I think that hero was Moon Knight.

I saw that equity release advert XD

Regular fryers are boomer appliances, most don't know what air fryers are.

This is the content I subscribe to

Air fryers are boomer as hell

_During the_ *_RISE OF THE BOOMERS_* Coming to a cinema near you...

I'm gonna agree with sips. Microwaves are boomer tech. They have beraly changed since the invent of it.

Pyrion is a tier 1 boomer
