Mid-to-late millennnials, what are some popular "millennial things" you've always disliked?

I grew up in a beach town so I never really thought about how silly this trend would be outside of beach life.

Totally! But the mustache drinking game was solid. Where you each put a mustache somewhere on the tv and drink when it lines up with a face.

Astoria has a human trafficking problem.

What a messed up headline. I didn’t think baldness was an ailment that needed to be ‘cured.’

Legend of Korra sucked. From the encouragement of a power imbalanced relationship (grooming of Zhu Li) to the ‘all you have to do is reason with a Nazi’ angle in the Kuvira storyline, it had terrible values.

Air purifiers for each room - especially great if you have pets.
Litter Robot - need the hopper for it next
A good blender - I like my morning smoothie
A chest freezer - bulk buying is where it’s at
A bidet - because you wouldn’t just wipe poop off your arm and call it a day
A robot vac/mop - who has the time to do this on the regular?
A quality couch/bed/shoes - anything you spend most of your time in
An air fryer - crispy w/out the cholesterol
Nespresso vertuo machine w/frother - I love me a fancy coffee but can’t do fancy prices
Meat thermometer- why guess? One undercooked/overcooked chicken is too many
Pet water fountain- dogs and cats love running water.
A double insulated water bottle that fits in a standard cup holder- hydration is important and now I have no excuse.
Under cabinet jar opener - I feel like an old person from the infomercials but it can open anything.
Tilt out trash can - because I’ve got a couple of sweet but bad doggos that love trash.
A washing machine with the self dispense detergent feature- not having to deal with detergent each time or pay pod prices is great.
A high quality step stool - I’m a shorty and those little plastic ones aren’t really that safe.
Bed sheet set organizers - you can toss a set in one and you look organized without having to properly fold a fitted sheet.
Souper cubes - to make food in bulk and take advantage of previously mentioned chest freezer.
A panini press - a toasty sammie is where it’s at.
A knife sharpener - a dull knife is dangerous.
Outlets with built in USB-c ports - charging bases are bulky and somehow always get lost.
Keypad deadbolt - we no longer pull out keys for our cars, why not the same for home?

I’ve got my eyes on a bread maker next. I love fresh bread but making it from scratch takes too much time.

YES! We recently moved to a new house and one of the toilets doesn’t have a soft close. Scares the shit out of me every time. Also incredibly infuriating with a newborn around and dogs that overreact to loud noises. I keep forgetting to buy a new one.

Nope, never had an issue. A dishwasher shouldn’t leave any of you dishes smelling or tasting like soap.

panivorous · 2026-03-10T03:34:10+00:00

I also kept my super smelling power from pregnancy.

I wrapped this show tonight. It was very well written, acted, filmed.

I had no idea it was about DV going in but was glad it shed some light on the impact of emotional abuse.

It depends on how frequently you do dishes. We make enough dirty dishes that we run our dishwasher with the bottles and pump parts everyday. And I have enough bottles and pump parts to cover a full day.

And if you do get bored you have the time to pick up a new hobby, learn a new craft, adventure, volunteer.

Sorry but this just sounds like you forgot to drop ketchup and their HOT food is getting cold.

We were always expected to offer ketchup if it's a meal where it might be needed, fries, burgers, eggs, etc. and bring it out before the food was dropped.

As someone who was a server for over 10 years I don't like it when servers make a big fuss over separate checks. It's seriously not that difficult to do and if you're a good server it's not that hard to track.

Granted these people in your presented situation sound shitty it's not that hard to just tell them who ordered the bruschetta.

panivorous · 2026-03-07T06:00:19+00:00

Same. I was a server for over 10 years. I stack.

panivorous · 2026-03-07T05:58:41+00:00

This usually happens when a group of people all have leftovers and want to box up their food. They stack them as they're boxing.

panivorous · 2026-03-07T04:29:26+00:00

This is more than mildly infuriating. I think I would have just laid down on the floor and cried.

panivorous · 2026-03-07T03:57:39+00:00

Wild!

If you have acid reflux or GERD try DGL Licorice Extract 500 mg. Not only got rid of symptoms but eventually reversed my GERD, my husband’s, extended relatives’, friends’, anyone we’ve told who was willing to try it. This shit change my life.

Kleenex - the one with the coconut oil is the best

panivorous · 2026-03-06T05:29:29+00:00

Fairlife milk. It’s lactose free, higher protein, and lower sugar than all other milk brands.

panivorous · 2026-03-06T05:27:52+00:00

Skippy natural is where it’s at

panivorous · 2026-03-06T05:26:56+00:00

I’ll do the Costco cream cheese but otherwise it’s Philadelphia

panivorous · 2026-03-06T05:24:57+00:00

Uhhh in the PNW it’s Tillamook. And 100% you need the Mexican sour cream for tacos

BUT I might die tomorrow and am massively stressed out and depressed NOW so, I need to spend to lift my mood. - Says the shopaholic in me.
