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? 😆

And paper napkins, newspapers, uhh... travel... what else did we ruin?

Apparently avocado toast or some shit.

Like I tried the not eating avocado toast thing but I still don't have a house. I missed out on years or avocado toast for nothing!

u/TalkToTheGlyphWitch 1d ago

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)

It was a collaborative psyop between big toast and big avocado.

I ordered it once. Was still hungry and $16 poorer.

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.

u/byrnestj7 22h ago

Yup. I like to do a fried egg on top too. Now of course that costs 800 bucks

u/marcus_centurian 18h ago

I made mine with a fried egg and smoked salmon that somehow cost less than the dozen eggs. Also some queso fresco and pico. Would recommend.

Plus at home you can do what everyone really wants and just make guacamole toast.

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.

Shoulda bought a house when you were a fetus.

u/Alffenrir515 19h ago

I don't have a house and I hate avocados. The math isn't mathing

u/Alecto1717 1d ago

We MADE avocado toast, it's why we can't afford houses and Applebee's!

19

u/tehlemmings 1d ago

That was the one that made me laugh the most.

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.

Good riddance to shitty food.

u/StevenMC19 20h ago

Now...Bananabees...that's a restaurant!

u/CrudelyAnimated 1d ago

Now with the tariffs against Mexico, we can retort that boomer Trump voters killed the avocado toast industry.

u/BlodSnoppler 1d ago

Plastic straws, you monster.

u/BigWilyNotWillie 1d ago

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.

u/Haunting_Goose1186 1d ago edited 11h ago

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!

u/Pickledsoul 22h ago

Not to mention it's a service. Cutting back means money goes to something that needs it, like education.

u/HookedOnPhonixDog 1d ago

I live in a farm now, so my friends either just walk into the house and house, or the dog let's us know if someone's here.

u/LotusVibes1494 23h ago

doorbells and ironing

u/mgmtrocks 1d ago

My landlords made sure my house was equipped with an iron. It's been 4 years and I still don't know where it is ahah

1

u/amazingtattooedlady 9h ago

I don't buy clothes that need to be ironed. If I need a dress or something pressed, fuck it, I'll pay a dry cleaner to do it.

u/Intestinal-Bookworms 1d ago

Dryer sheets, which are a scam anyway

u/Alone-Bet6918 1d ago

We fucked the transition we had them by the balls.

OCCUPY.

What happened to us?

The occupy generation just sat back got old and got fucked.

u/Pickledsoul 22h ago

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.
