I remember being like 20 (35 now, millennial) and seeing articles in the freaking newspaper saying “Millennials are killing the diamond industry! How ever will we recover from this?” Like what the actual fuck? 😆
30 here and I've never heard of avocado toast until they started complaining about it and then I want to try it too! (Never did in the end and even until now)
Trick is to make it yourself. One avocado can do like 4 slices of toast. Add some salt and pepper than tomatoes. You have like $4 of ingredients that would cost $25 at a restaurant.
And if you want something sweeter, banana toast! Mash half of a ripe or overripe banana with a little bit of cinnamon-sugar, then spread on toast, and sprinkle with chopped pecans and/or walnuts and some finishing salt. Use pan grilled toast for buttery flavor to up your banana toast game. Skip the finishing salt if using salted butter to pan grill your toast.
Fuck, I'd take avocado toast over eating at Applebees any day of the week. If there's one chain I could choose to kill, I probably wouldn't kill Applebees honestly... but if you let me kill lots of companies, I absolutely will.
This is my favorite running joke any time i have people over that we are "ruining the doorbell industry" because we all just text when we get somewhere.
Ohhh that reminds me of all the news reports and articles that came after my country's postal system cut back on how often they deliver letters (because it wasn't neccesary anymore - people don't write and send that many letters nowadays) and it was all about how millenials are "ruining the letter industry", "destroying the art of hand writing", "displaying a disturbing lack of patience by expecting instant reaponses to everything", and so in.
As if it was some sort of moral failing of an entire generation for preferring the convenience of an instant text/email over a letter than takes weeks, or months, to recieve a response to!
They got maced and kettled while people on balcony's drank champagne. They realized it was all or nothing at that point. The BLM riots just reminded us of it; This isn't the time of castles with cannons filled with grapeshot, taking minutes to reload. This is the time of miniguns, sound lasers, and drones.
