Honestly the thing that broke my heart the most about hearing those ascribed to Boomer sensibilities is that I adored using them sarcastically but imagined it still makes me look old when I do so

Doing multiplication in your head is a neat party trick, but no one actually cares when you can use a device that always gives the right answer.
