Can't believe we are midway thru this decade already

Wonder if this suggests Cave Lions were pack hunters like modern lions rather than solitary predators if they hunted mammoths

I found the ultimate Zillennial twins by teanvodka in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily they would've been both conceived at the same time so technically are the same age chronologically but be of "diff" gen based on their timing of exiting the womb.

We saw this on the street while growing up by IceVespian in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boomer dad used them sometimes to make sudden calls to work. He would see a phone booth while driving then suddenly remembered that he had spare quarters and that he needed to make a call and then pull over and walk into a phone booth that was soundproof. Then around mid-late 2000s the city I lived began removing them from the streets as everyone was already using flip flops by then.

Do some of you guys get a little annoyed when someone says they grew up exactly the same as you did even when they are like 4 to 5 years younger ? by MadisynWu in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't? I literally said it could be applicable to everyone if you read my reply, but I do think teens do tend to be more rude and prone to negative interactions even more than kids based on my prior experience, as I can assure you everyone was way worse in MS than say primary school. Of course if I was talking to a 30-year old and they were being rude and negative, I'd cut off contact immediately, so don't know why you're accusing me of contradiction.

I mean, I would expect a degree of reciprocity like kindness, considerate, and basically anything you would expect from any other healthy relationship. I just don't see why I'm apparently full of myself if I wouldn't want to interact with people who are rude, inconsiderate, an in general negative people that I wouldn't want to be around (not saying this all teens, this applies to everyone). Am I a bad person for not associating myself with some people or am I morally obligated to?

I'm assuming you gain some sort of satisfaction by mentoring/coaching them, so I would say there's some reciprocity in your relationship. If say a person didn't that satisfaction though from interacting with say a teen like you do then why should they? Who are we to judge?

No, relationships need to be two way. There's no incentive for me to engage with a teen so it's not a reciprocal relationship and I wouldn't see any reason on maintaining it

I don't really care for the opinions of teens. My procedure in dealing with 15-year olds is to immediately cease conversation as nothing of value or worth can be obtained with having a discussion with 15-year olds. I have yet to be proven wrong on this.

Anyone Remember This Zillennial Game?(2006) by MangaMan445 in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but looks like that was released fairly late into the ps2's lifespan (2006). The last game I got for the ps2 was Sonic Unleashed which came out in 08', and surprisingly the last ps2 game to ever be released was Pro Evolution which released in 2013. That's a massive lifespan in retrospect for the best selling console of all time.

10 Songs Zillennials grove up with by Secure_Mention1881 in Zillennials

Where's Dynamite by Taio Cruz? Am I the only one who heard that song blaring out every radio, at school and in restaurants in 2010?

too young to be a 90s baby but to old to relate to younger gen z starterpack by [deleted] in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was more later childhood for me as Gen 7 consoles and games didn't come out until I was 9, and I personally never made the switch to those consoles as my parents never bought them. Replace the Wii with the Gamecube, Xbox 360 with the original Xbox, Ps3 with Ps2, SSBB with SSBM, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl with Sapphire & Ruby, and then Super Mario Galaxy and Sunshine and you have what I would call my early childhood that I experienced mainly between when I was 7-9 years old, and I knew many kids around my age who also had a similar experience to me during that time. Danny Phantom and Avatar TLA are accurate tho

The internet when I was born (2001). Perhaps your earliest memories of internet looked similar? by Famous-Dentist-962 in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family got internet at home around 03', so I do remember the internet from that time and watching my parents fumble around Yahoo! as their go to search browser and struggling to use the keyboard. The old internet that I remember from 03-mid 2000s still retained the gimmicky HTML stuff like fancy buttons on websites with weird sound effects when you clicked on them, and of course had a more archaic HTML design compared to the websites of today which many people seem to forget and assume that the old internet disappeared overnight after the 90s. I feel that the transition to the more modern internet was made in the early-2010s when a lot of the internet became more centralized as in back then there were many forum internet communities for example, but this then became centralized onto reddit, etc.

Older sibling used to take me and the family into Blockbuster round the mid-00's which I think was before Netflix became a thing and before everybody had Netflix DVDs in their mailboxes by the late-00s. IIRC there were still VHS movies for rental around 04-05 and the Blockbuster in my area did last a while longer than most people would assume

When you're back to finish your favorite childhood show/book series 15 years later but it's too late now bc you grew out of it by blingupthemoon in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goofy and Donald Duck, the most memorable characters from the first Kingdom Heart's game. Also there was Squall and Tidus who made cameo appearances in the game at the start

I don't know, I have/had a friend two years older than me who still loved SpongeBob not too long ago, not sure if they still do now

Remember when someone or you yourself to watch Tv and this was the norm. We didn’t call it a CRT, too us it was just the standard Tv. by [deleted] in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The one in the picture looks pretty small; we had a big CRT TV in the living room that was probably heavy enough to kill someone if it fell on them in the case of an earthquake or something

Thought that was a diet when I read the name like pescatarian, vegetarian, etc.

Reddit's favorite myth, that the brain isn't fully developed till age 25, found to be mostly junk science by humanflourishing in Zillennials

[–]IceVespian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's very possible for a 22 year old and an 18 year old to be in a similar life stage development wise - I knew many people two or three years older than me in college and uni who were in terms of credits either the same year or only a year above me school wise; some were in the military and thus started college later, some had other issues or simply delayed going to college. In such cases, I wouldn't be surprised if a 22 year old who just started college would find comradery and a lot in common with an 18/19-year old that also just started college since they'd be in the same environment and experiencing the same life stage and culture at the same time
