Oh are we sharing IoSM jokes now? This got a laugh from me earlier



The person who shared it seemed to do so without a shred of irony, so there's that.

Welcome to Facebook.

Most of the quotes I see attributed to politicians are blatantly false but that doesn't stop idiots from liking and sharing them by the thousands.

Do they also complain that millennials can't drive a horse carriage? Hell I bet millennials can't even craft a bow out of a yew stick, a piece of flint, and some animal sinew.

This idea that millennials are lazy idiots because they can't use a card catalog is stupid. The reason people use computers now is because it's just plain loving better that way. The computer can even tell you if the book is checked in so you don't waste your time looking for it if it isn't. Hell yes I'll discard the cart catalog and use the computer instead.

It's a pretty good skill to know. Like being able throw the spare on if you get a flat just to be able to drive it somewhere is something everyone should probably know just so you don't get stuck somewhere.

The first time I ever had to change a flat was in high school and I was trying to figure out what to do first so I started to loosen the tire. A really nice woman got out of her minivan and let me know to jack the car up before I take off the tire so the car doesn't crush my fingers or whatever. It was really nice of her but looking back I guess I should have let her know that this was a man's job and she should mind her own business.

OK I think I got this figured out. The way to be manly is to smell bad, refuse to shave or groom yourself, and spend literally every waking moment either breaking something or someone or fixing something while you eat the worst food you can find and be drunk constantly.

And also be illiterate.

...gently caress. Well, I'm out. So who wants to have a dinner party and drink some wine? I have a kick rear end new bread recipe I've been meaning to try.

I'm torn on whether beards + tires is a bad thing or not. On one hand it's good to know the most basic car repair and maintenance. But it's a terrible example because tires rarely need changing anymore and I can guarantee you my Nazi killing grandfather would have loved Fix-a-Flat.

Helllooooooooooooo? What’s that faint voice I hear drifting in from the great beyond? Oh, my! It’s a GenXer! Nary a mention here, though, of this overlooked generation save an offhand attribution to some Xer’s “tart” tweet that, to our boomer author’s delight, slams a millennial.

It’s like I don’t even exist.

You know what? We GenXers are tired of the bickering between the boomers and millennials. Take note millennial, I may not be worthy of discussion in this article or its commentary, but I'm still paying off your college tuition. And boomer? I’m shopping for your nursing home as we speak. So put a lid on it already. Or I'll separate you two.

They should be forced to live in one of those cultures that make you undergo a horrifying coming of age ritual and only get one chance to pass so they can fail it and be social children dominated by the village elders and ineligible to marry forever.

I had a conversation with my mom and grandmother about some math because someone on television was talking about the Powerball lottery [1.3 Billion at time of posting] and she saw some meme about how if you had 300M you could pay 1M$ to 300M people because 300M$/ 300M people = 1M$ for everyone. It was a hypothetical thing but after we went back and forth on it because it didn't add up to me and my mom was saying that it didn't sound right since people on television were saying everyone would get 4 dollars and that didn't make sense. So, we went back and forth and eventually I managed to figure out 'Wait, no they're right, all of those people would only get a dollar.' so I went to find out how much it'd take to get everyone a million dollars if you divvied it up like that using my google and I found this.

Unwelcome Participant posted:

1,000,000,000,000 / 300,000,000
=[(1)(10^12)]/[(3)(10^8)]
=(1/3)(10^(12-8))
=(1/3)(10^4)
= 10000/3
= 3333 1/3

That is right students, instead of wasting one trillion dollars of 'stimulus' paying racist unions a bunch of benefits, President Obama could have given EACH AND EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN over $3,000.

You think that would have stimulated the economy just a bit better than letting the janitor at GM keep getting paid $40 an hour to sweep the floors and vote democrat while having payed in full healthcare insurance and retirement with a full pension?

This would be weird enough if not for someone responding.

quote:

Racist? Black people can get any union job if they have a hs diploma and are black. They will get the job before a white guy who went to college for one reason. They are black, not qualified more nothing more! If they applied they would pay less taxes then the white guy also, so racist,yes its called black privlege, fair no, double standards always, bullshit i have to say this because whoever wrote this beleives the corrupt gov and 1 percenters That pit us against each other and believe it. Good job on reporting real news u race baiting manipulated whoever who hates because he is told to,dont complain when they make u a soldier!!

What the hell. Who does math this way? Why do you need 5 lines to come to the conclusion that 1,000,000,000,000 / 300,000,000 = 10,000 / 3? :psyduck:
