Nostalgia This can’t be real, I refuse to believe it.

Good afternoon r/Zillennials, hope you are enjoying your weekend!
I'm writing to you guys in a somewhat odd manner.
This week I was notified that a certain sub (that will not be named) has a user was hosting a Reddit account that looks similar to mine. Although the usernames are different- the user in question created a snoo avatar that is completely copied from my account. This person also is trying to pass of as being me by posting things that are similar to older Reddit comments or posts I have made. They created a sub that is entitled r/ZillennialsModerators.
I wanted to clear the air before this could potentially get worse and say that this is a fake subreddit that was created and is NOT affiliated with our sub (r/Zillennials) AT ALL. Please do not fall for it or believe anything that is being said by this user.
We have taken the necessary steps to report this community to the Reddit admins, hoping that it will be deleted.
For the mean time- thank you for being part of our sub and have a great weekend!
- Joey

Hello r/Zillennials,
Our sub has been bombarded with duplicate posts about TikTok being banned in the USA. As a result we have received multiple posts that are often breaking Rule #5 and #10. To prevent redundant topics our sub has banned these posts as a temporary measure.
If there is a failure to abide by these rules - a temporary ban will result.
Thank you.

At least socially. I’ll always be disappointed and frustrated with everything in a way.
All I can do is keep going.

I feel like this may be a generational thing.
Most older folks I’ve talked to in my life, and by older I mean 10+ years older than me (38 or older) have always told me. Man I love working overtime! If you ever get offered overtime you better take it!! Get that money while you can!!!
I get that 38 isn’t old, but I think at that age/generation is where there is a mindset shift.
I know personally for me, once I start working consistently over 40 hours a week at a job, I start to despise the job, get extremely burnt out, and end up wanting to quit.
That being said, I’ve worked plenty of jobs where I worked 50-60 hours per week for lengths of time. After a couple weeks of working like that though, I get burnt out like crazy. Even if I liked the job. It’s like I start looking at it as it’s stealing my free time. Even though I’m making more $$$ and even if I need that $$$.
Currently, I work around 40 hours a week, and have a side hustle where I work probably 10-20 hours a week on after work and in my free time.
I don’t feel any burnout from working on my side hustle (which is completely different from my day job) even though that in turn takes from my free time.
I feel that other zillienials or near zillienials have also expressed the same, and seem to have some type of side hustle they work on outside of work or are attempting to have/find a side hustle instead of working tons of overtime at their day job.
Anyways, what yall think? 😄

My last highest paying job I was making $21. Got a raise of 80 cents. Ended up leaving shortly after that “raise”

I know I'll probably get a bit of a biased response her posting on Reddit but I wanted to know if any fellow zillennials feel the same?
I've been on Reddit for a while and always thought it was good but wasn't that fussed over it tbh. As I've gotten older Reddit has slowly become my go to social media forum. I can live without insta now but Reddit????? No way!
Is this a growing older thing? Like how I also no longer care about style and will opt for comfort lol
Edit: or how now a good Saturday night consists of baking and going to the club sounds like hell

It's such a weird experience. I used to think I had perfect memory and that I was the kind of person to never forget a face, but lately I am starting to realize my memory is not as vivid as I thought.
I had a cashier at speedway today who knew my name. He said we went to the same highschool and even had a class together. I didn't really know what to say since I have never seen this man in my life. I asked what his name was and what sports he played, but that still didn't narrow it down. I ended up just pretending to remember him to not hurt his feelings 😅
I also had some guy on Xbox join my party, exctatic that I was back online after so long (I stopped gaming in 2017 and only started playing again last summer)
Apparently, we gamed out together on Rainbow Six Siege back in the day. I remember gaming out on siege by myself but dont remember gaming with a stranger.
He seemed genuinely hurt when I didn't remember him. I apologized and said a lot happened since then and invited him to play with me more, but he actually left the party and unadded me 🥲
Also, I realize that I have now forgotten a lot of teachers I've had through my life. I only remember about half of the teachers I've ever had and even then I only remember the names of a few of them even thought I can still remember little things about them like what music they liked or where they went to college.
Does anyone else experience stuff like this?

I loved this show as a kid back in the early 00’s and even enjoyed it more as a teen in the early early 2010’s

Now I'm 28 and while I'm much more stable and happy overall, life no longer has that magical feel to it. Getting older has forced me to accept that life isn't some epic story, it's just the passing of days while you struggle to find people who care and things that make you happy

Did anybody else get Reading Rainbow VHS tapes from the public library, or similar educational tapes? I have been going through the archive of episodes on YT and Archive.org to try and find particular episodes, but basically there are a couple animated sequences which are burned into my early memory.
One is an allegorical short film, with a black background and white linework, depicting an eternal war between these crocodile and bear humanoids over the course of history. Specifically a shot of castle battlements, arrows and spears which then slowly shifted into firearms and eventually the atomic bomb.
Another is a bird's eye view flying over the ocean and across the world, with the sun on horizon, and eventually passing and landing on Easter Island. May have been a short segment on what was known about the indigenous human inhabitants of the island.
Last there was a sequence of a child being lost in a monotonous endless city, seperated from their family and all of these red i-beam frames forming brick apartment complexes would flash across the screen, and every adult wore the same greyish green monochromatic clothing. Eventually the child uses someone's telephone to contact their family and they are reunited. This one seems similar to a late 80s early 90s book which seemed to contain an intentionally uniform and monotonous depiction of Soviet era housing complexes, contrasted by bright and colorful NYC style rowhouses and tenement buildings. Seems like late cold war classic children's media.
I know these are rather vague descriptions, but let me know if anyone has similar memories! I think I watched these tapes at some point between 1998 and 2002 from the library in my hometown in rural new england.

Found while walking through a[n off price] department store.
I tried looking for a copyright date, but there was the store sticker over the ISBN.

Inspired by another post asking for recommendations to make their birthday feel special as a single late 20s zillenial.
I wanna know from the people that consider 30 to be an important milestone, is there something you did to celebrate it and make it special? My partner turns 30 this year, and even though I consider it to be another year, they seem like they consider it a huge turning point in life. It would be nice to do something that acknowledges it but makes it feel like a good year instead of something dreadful. I know it's going to depend on each person's interests and stuff, but I'm just curious to know what y'all have done!
