Gen z for the win.....we're fucked.

You are aware this stuff is staged right? It was staged when Jay Leno did it and it's staged when everyone else does it as well. Why? Because stupid sells!
Well, yes and no. Yes, some of that is probably staged. Most times, "reality" TV is scripted.
However, on the road, I see all kinds of non-staged improvised stupidity.
Its not staged. I know some of these people. Ask your wife or gf any history question at all. Any......
My wife and I are millennials not zoomers. Also, we homeschool our kids and we know quite our fair share of US history. Do you know what the first 10 Amendments are without looking it up? Bet you can't, but my wife and I can.
Ask her one person who put their John Hancock on the Declaration of Independence. Ask her to name just one.
I'm pretty sure Jefferson would be everyone's easy answer.
The shinning stars of most public schools!! My 9 year old step daughter could answer most of those questions correctly and she goes to public school, but it’s a one of the top public schools in the nation and should be based on how ridiculous out property taxes are. I love how he just says, “Yes”, no matter what they answer, and he leaves them in their ignorance. You can’t fix people that willingly ignorant.
i guess I’m going to show my age.My wife and I are millennials not zoomers. Also, we homeschool our kids and we know quite our fair share of US history. Do you know what the first 10 Amendments are without looking it up? Bet you can't, but my wife and I can.
What is a Zoomer?
Isn't that in NYC? I would expect ALL the people there to be that stupid.........
Democrats be like that. How you think Joe Biden got 81 million votes?
Not staged; edited for content for sure, but they really are out there.
Hell, I have a new(ish) college hire manger working for me who literally doesn’t know how to do simple percentages on the fly. I asked her “What’s ten percent of 1 million?” the other day, and she just went blank…. “Uhhhhhhh….. 10?”
Me: “So, ten percent of one million is ten. That’s what you’re telling me.”
Her: “Isn’t ten percent ten?”
I had to just walk away.
Mind you, doing “the maths” is a huge part of what we do in our current role…all day, every day, and I have no idea how this person got hired. I ripped the recruiter a new asshole when that manager’s 90-day review came up a few weeks ago. Sad part is, me and the entire team have to carry her, and I’ll eventually have to go through the ass pain of either getting her up to speed via a highly-detailed performance improvement plan (that I’ll have to create), or firing her.
Or we’ll pay her to walk away.
We’re so fucked as a country right now.

Excellent point. Even if the stuff ballots were only a few 100k here and there, plenty of legitimate votes from flat out commies and idiots and sometimes, both.
My wife likely knows more about those subjects then some of you.
Funny when something a "female should not know" comes up and she answers. It is always followed, ALWAYS by a ohh I guess a girl is not suppose to know that. The guys just stand there with their jaw on the floor that she knows the difference between this and that, or the history of this or that.
Good ones do exist, but they are hard to find.
This is another reason AI will take out the White Collar jobs.
Forget about having permits to purchase guns. There should be permits to procreate…
No, people are really this stupid.....in class I stated that Vermont was on an island unto itself when it comes to gun laws in that region......student proclaimed..." Vermont is an ISLAND??" I almost threw something at him...
There are plenty of book smart girls. Applied science, reasoning or rational thought is the inflection point, I would assume because they are more emotionally charged.
I would say though, be careful because if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might be a duck. Never forget the hot crazy matrix.
You know, there is the other side of this.....
If someone came up to me and asked me to list items needed to bake a cake. Best I could do is......."a wife". Im sure there are a bunch of simple female or non-important shit we don't know.
How many of you know the difference between a bermuda, barrel or clutch bag/purse? Could you determine the defects in a diamond? What about the order of putting make up on your daughter if you became a single dad?

I think just about everything edible, tastes good enough. When outside, I mainly worry about easy to eat and sanitized enough to not get sick on day 3.
My wife leads the charge when it comes to the kitchen, excluding the grill or eating wildlife.
I get the kids hair (makeup) thing, I have 4 kids most are girls, I don’t do their hair because I don’t think about it. I care about on time, uniform and fed enough to make it to lunch before I drop them off at school.
I don’t think I can do it alone, we both have different strengths that benefits the kids when we are working together. I seem to care more about working together to benefit the kids.
Everyone outsources something in their life. And, whoever you are paying to do whatever it is, s/he is thinking “look at that idiot, paying me to do what s/he could do him/herself if s/he wasn’t such an idiot.” Think about that the next time you point and laugh at an “idiot.”
My order came to $11.49. I handed the cashier $21.50 and she said, Sir you gave me too much. I told her to enter the amount I gave her and she could keep the penny as a tip. After she entered the amount paid and the it calculated the change she said Ohh.
I bet a guy on a football game last week and I lost. When I went to pay him I asked if he wanted to go double or nothing this week or another $20. He said that he'd rather go another 20. I started laughing at him and then he figured it out.

I thought gen Z were born in the 80’s. Those people look way too young for that group.
Sad situation either way.

The Millennial generation started in the 80s. They are the generation after GenX. Zoomers, or GenZ are the generation that were in primary/secondary/post secondary education during the height of Covid-19. Those not home schooled did at least a full year of education through virtual meeting applications- one of the most common being “Zoom.”
This thread is funny. Wife and I are millennials.
Truth is if we turned of google searches most of our world would be completely lost, literally and mentally or whatever.

I remember that bs. Our schools tried that for 3 months that year until summer break and it was a flop. Especially for younger ones. Kids were not learning, progressing, and retaining like they should have.
When school resumed again that Fall they were back in classrooms.
I first read of a politician pushing that agenda over 40 years ago and it pissed me off. I now agree.
I never took home ec, but there were lots of girls in my history and geography classes.
Here's another good one, my friend @forrestgump01 reminded me of just yesterday.
What did David kill Goliath with?
What did David kill Goliath with?
Assault sling and one of the five stones he picked up.
I've always wonder where he got the rubber innertube.
I thought it was a fully semi-automatic assault rock.
Edited. I was thinking of Cain and Abel.
David killed Goliath with a stone fired from a fully semi-automatic assault sling.
There, I fixed it.

Doesn't matter, as long as it was fully semi-automatic. And actually, you are right. David cuts off the head off of Goliath. That would surely bring on death. Of course, I could imagine using a spear would be difficult. So, someone must have brought him a fully semi-automatic sword.
Years ago I was at a heavy equipment rental place waiting for whatever, a guy walks in and says he needs a backhoe with a two foot wide bucket. The guy behind the counter says I have a 24” bucket, you want to rent it? The guy gets kinda sad and says no, he really needs a two foot bucket. Turns around and walks out without hesitation. The guy behind the counter just looks at me and I just bust out laughing.
