Things Millenials find funny...

[Jon O.]

Today a group of millenials saw the keys to my Newport and burst into laughter...
I still don't relize what was funny, they said it looked like a P.O. box key.
first thing I heard was "where are the buttons?"

A generation of real quality we got here.

So....ok Boomers. What’s this?

Time, technology and tools evolve. I’d have no idea, nor desire, on how to use this but was critical for my grandfather.

So what if they taste good

 

[69CoronetRT]

Spurs for utility pole climbing.

No.

Things that make me laugh. Hand a millennial any wrench.

 

[300rag]

No.

Picks for handling blocks of ice?

 

[69CoronetRT]

Picks for handling blocks of ice?

No but it is a hand held device.

 

[Jon O.]

Picks for handling blocks of ice?

I actually have had a few pairs of those.

 

[Fratzog]

I have no idea. How about a scraper for cleaning horse shoes? Only because you mentioned your grandpa.

I've seen one of these before, that strap goes around your hand for pulling the husks off of corn before you feed it into the sheller.

Yep. (I wondered if a corn belt guy would know)

But I don’t know how to use it. Nor would I want to spend the day using one if I did know. But, my grandpa’s generation didn’t have a choice. So, they invented something better and easier to use.

Just showing how common items in one generation are foreign to another. Technology and tools change. Knowledge and experience change.

“They” don’t know what we know.

We don’t know what our grandparents knew.

I would explain that it is an actual key as opposed to a "operator to vehicle interface unit," and remind them of the key's low replacement cost (in case you lose it) compared to the things with buttons............

Ain't that the damn truth. A spare key for my truck (05' Dodge) was something like $120 a few years ago. I'd hate to have to know what the new ones cost now.

$150 to $200 plus programming for a proximity key.

Followed up by how easy cars were to break into, how little it took to steal one, how it cost more than $120 to replace a car....

That speech?

Anyone keeping up on their blacksmith skills? Candle making? Any furriers in the House?

Anyone still know how to use the Dewey Decimal System to find something? Who still reads magazines or the daily newspaper? Listens to 8-tracks? Heck, in this group, watches 8mm “stag” movies? Who’s still using their Tandy computer?

Times change. Technology changes.

You beat me to it, I was pretty sure it was a corn shucker.
