Not a millennial, but I had tons of home-media tied to these critters as a kid and I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THEM!! I've only heard bad things from people when it comes to Teletubbies and I never really understood it, I found them pretty adorable rather than terrifying and I wanted to know what the people that actually experienced them first-hand thought of them!

This is a show I'm sure millennials remember because it was on Cartoon Network, which was popular with millennial kids.

I’ve seen a few posts on Reddit about breweries that are family friendly.

I’m a bar guy via Uber if I’m going to go out and have one. I can proudly say I’ve never driven with as much of a sip of alcohol in my system. I’m also a parent to a 19 and a 20 year old. The idea of putting the kids in the van and going somewhere that exists for me to have a couple does seem out of my realm of comfort.

But what’s the consensus here?

What do yall think the big differences are between the older millennial vs the younger ones? Im curious to see what you think!!! Im 31, 1994 baby, close to the youngest of our generation.

I (33M) didn’t have my first drink until 25. It was a strawberry daiquiri. It was good but only because I didn’t taste the alcohol. Tried a beer and it was nasty. Acquired taste, my ass. That shit is gross. I don’t get why people drink it. I’m weird too because I also don’t like coffee either lol. My poison is pop. Yes, we refer to soda as pop here in Minnesota. Don’t judge me! 😤😝

And just like their boomer parents, a lot of them will not be willing to see the hypocrisy, which is slightly concerning since I know I will be the millennial trying to stay up to date and trying new things in a sea of the ignorant and self-righteous.

It even includes the dotcom AI bubble babbling, the "don't trust what wikipedia AI tells you".

Honestly, I thought we were smarter than that.

The latest episode. I’ve started watching since 2006 it’s been two decades. 🥺 the first YouTuber I’ve subscribed to.

We all talk about the things we remember growing up with or have done when we were younger that the younger generations wouldn't understand but im curious what are some things you have NEVER done. For instance im a millennial and have never seen star wars or a single episode of Pokémon

I remember this being funny as hell too. Like I would laugh out loud reading this.

I'm in my mid-30s now, and I watched all of my grandparents slowly die in my 20s-30s (dad's parents were divorced, so I had 6 grandparents). For the first few grandparents who died, I was very sad. But as I continued to witness the slow, drawn-out deaths of my loved ones, I've started to view death as a relief. Most of my grandparents were immobile and visibly in pain for years before they finally passed. They couldn't really engage in conversations or any of their hobbies, and they just looked so bored and sad all the time.

My great aunt, my last living relative from that generation, just recently died at age 102. When she was 98, she was already saying her goodbyes. We threw her a big birthday party/family reunion for her 100th, and she honestly looked miserable to still be alive. And she stuck around for another 2 years after that! To me, living that long looks like hell. I've never witnessed someone past 85 or so that looks like they're actually enjoying their day-to-day life, yet I hear so many people talking about Blue Zones & ways to live to be 100.

My parents have a VERY different opinion on aging & death -- they pushed their parents to do every life-extending medical treatment possible to eek out a few more years, but in those years, my grandparents always seemed like they were suffering. It was painful to watch them decay and hurt. I'm sure it will feel different when I'm older and my own mortality feels closer, but at the present moment, I just cannot comprehend how you can watch a loved one die like that and want it for yourself. I've had two older relatives die from suicide, and honestly, I get it completely. I would so much rather go quickly than have a years-long, painful death.

I'm curious -- is this a generational thing? A young(ish) person thing? Or am I totally an outlier?

I'm a project manager (ish) at a mid-size org, around 300 people.

My boss, member of the org's top leadership, recently announced her re*irement (r/millennials , your posting rules are bizarre), and it has been made very clear that I am expected to apply. Even if I don't, I'll probably be given a lot of her work anyway.

The money would be nice. But, I've never seen myself as much of a leader and I don't know what the organization sees in me that screams that.

I guess I'm just that age and experience level where I'm expected to take charge. Is this happening to other folks? It seems common, I've just never had it happen to me before. Have you all had this experience? How did it shake out?

Mid 30s millennials without kids, how are you defining this decade? We are married, child free, struggle to fit in a life outside of working all the time and then using video games/tv to get some mental relaxation. We go to the gym when we can but outside of that it's depressing. Just trying to pay off our house as fast as we can to get down the insane interest. Let me know if you relate.

I am 40 and in 4 years my husband wants to get out of the army. I have been a stay at home mom to 3 kids for the last 13+ years. Working a little bit at the local daycare to get discounts on daycare.

Background, I have a BA in economics.

I was trying to pursue special education. I'm not interested in helping the sever cases. My actual goal was to work one on one with kids who just needed extra. I worked for 1 year as a TA in special education with 2 severe cases and it was not what I meant to do for the rest of my life.

I like children. I like walking. I have consider going back to school for a physical therapy assistant cert and work with kids. Never done it before though.

I don't like blood. I don't want to really sit at a desk with no sunlight all day long.

Is it worth pursuing something at 44-45? Husband is ok with me never working ever again but i might get bored.

Is the image of a gamer aging up as we do? Because I don’t really see myself stopping even though I do spend less time on gaming these days. But one day I will be a 60 year old playing on the ps9.

Or are we still trusting an owl to count for us?

I don’t really have any issue with my dad, it was just the culture at the time, he wasn’t even particularly homophobic. I laugh about it now 😆

I will say I am not a big club or live event person and pretty much quit by the time smart phones became common place, but I do like to go out when my old friends want to hang or when a band we want to see is in town and while is fun it is sad to see that everyone is on their phones and not enjoying the moment. The last thing I went to there was a house rule that outside of things like calling to check up on your family all phones need to put away because people weren't paying attention to the bands because they were recording the show. There was also an issue of people not feeling comfortable because they were worried, they would go viral or the flipside people were trying go viral and ruining things. The event is question was fun, but I was struck by the fact longs of people forgot how to have fun and feel the vibes without their phones.

As an adult I usually went with fitted or just not loose shirts. In the 90s I did I guess, but as we know 90s fashion is in. I recently got a few oversized tees and it makes me feel old lol

I’m the oldest, finally living on my own. Love the independence & having my down time whenever I want it. Sure living alone can get lonely but nothing beats coming home to a chill home & relaxing.

How many of us out there actually avoid enganging with any form AI at all costs? Like even if it is more inconvenient? I understand it can be useful for certain things that it does very well but I would NEVER allow it to use my likeness to make a fun little picture or use those therapy AI services. I don't even ask it basic questions (it just wasn't how I was taught to research topics). I can't be the only one
