I feel like I may have forgotten something...

@catsalad where is x?

@antdude i found x!

@catsalad

@catsalad@infosec.exchange why do we call them the greatest generation if they're all dead, huh? cant be that great

@Transbian_Arsonists @catsalad The "Greatest Generation" were my grandfather's age, their primary trait is that they were there for World War 2, firsthand.

@Transbian_Arsonists They never had to use AI, seems pretty great to me!

@catsalad

@catsalad hey theres no gen x!

@emily_rugburn @catsalad let me guess, there's also no 2022.. it's never enough is it! 🤪

@bazkie @catsalad i remember 2022 and it sucked.

@catsalad I'm still in beta. Does that make me the Beta Generation?

@catsalad Gen X always forgotten...

@hyc @catsalad Yeah, a big fuck you to us I guess. 🙄

@catsalad Am I glad I do not know to what you are referring?

@catsalad everyone forgets gen x.

@catsalad Gen X, remember us!

@thestrangelet @catsalad They ALWAYS forget about us, the drank-from-hose generation.

@thestrangelet @catsalad Naturally, I feel compelled to point out that I got to see David Bowie and Trent Reznor sing together on the same stage.

@frobozz @thestrangelet Holy shit!!! I am so jealous

@frobozz @thestrangelet Hey that was a good water when you've been jumping on a trampoline all day!

@catsalad @thestrangelet You're not wrong, the polymers from the hose enhanced the flavor. We didn't have a trampoline, so we just wandered around breaking stuff.

@catsalad @frobozz @thestrangelet

Those forever chemicals, leached out with the heat, made the water taste extra sweet.

@frobozz @thestrangelet @catsalad The rest of us pretty much all drank the Kool-Aid, though.

@catsalad I'm a Xellennial (End of gen X, but a year short of truly Millennial.) I voted the closest available option.

@madengineering @catsalad Same *FISTBUMP*

@catsalad evidently, Millennials are so good we killed 2022

@OctaviaConAmore @catsalad my one regret as a millennial is not having killed ENOUGH things

@peachymist @catsalad that's fair... we could always pick up where we left off?

@peachymist @OctaviaConAmore @catsalad same!!! next step is to kill the luxury restaurant industry

@OctaviaConAmore First, the avocado toast industry and now entire year? You monsters! 😭

@catsalad this is the true power of Y2K

@OctaviaConAmore @catsalad
And Gen X too apparently.

Q: How do you know @catsalad is trolling?
A: They toot.

😂

@agturcz

@catsalad HERESY!

@catsalad As usual, my generation was forgotten. Though I'm technically GenX by birth year, I seem to have most of the same problems as Millennials, so I tend to self-identify as a Xennial.

@frobozz
generations delineation by birthyear are all marketing bullshit anyway
@catsalad

@frobozz
same.

@catsalad

@catsalad I see what you did there.

@catsalad

@catsalad Quite evil, I approve.

@catsalad

between Millenial and Gen Z.

@catsalad I was born after the end of the millenials but before the start of the gen zs

@catsalad gen X, so I picked "greatest generation" 😎

@catsalad I love being able to choose multiple options.

Where’s the Forgotten Generation (Gen X) - how appropriate. 😒

@catsalad
Ha ha. Gen X.

@catsalad Oh, well done.

@catsalad I like that you forgot Gen X. Like everyone does haha

@violenteastcoastcity @catsalad

It's not a bug. it's a feature.

@catsalad
God dammit 😂

@catsalad Why did you include Gen Z twice? (the 1st and 4th options)

@catsalad why multiple choice!? Is this a reincarnation cult!?

@catsalad Deep breath. Apparently my entire generation is hanging out with 2022.

@catsalad

catsalad:

i greatly admire the fact that you have enough demographic knowledge of the fediverse to know that there is a lot of gen x who joined in 2022 and that you then purposefully created the best funny and harmless ragebait i've seen in a long time

👏 👏 👏

i bow before the master

@benroyce @catsalad Ahhh…I was wondering where the apartheid twitter exodus was. 😃

@benroyce @catsalad

yup. one to skip 2022, then another to skip gen X.

this total mastery is only one of the reasons why i follow @catsalad . solid cat content is, of course, the most compelling reason.

@paul_ipv6 @catsalad

many people think trolling is universally a menace

no

trolling for mirth, trolling for good: both are very real useful and powerful

@benroyce @catsalad

ask not for whom the witty trolls. they troll for thee.

@paul_ipv6 @catsalad

seriously though:

the day you think your shit smells like roses, is the day you will take your greatest fall

@benroyce @catsalad

pretty sure that "my shit don't stink" is the oxford english dictionary definition of hubris.

@benroyce @catsalad

I am genX
I joined in 2022
I concur - well played.

@icastico @catsalad

hello, me 🤭

@catsalad
Generation Jones ...
the middle child everyone forgets about.

@catsalad
I remember when 1998 didn't exist

@catsalad omg you’re so mean

@3janeTA

@catsalad thanks for this.

@catsalad I know 2022 exists because I saw the mess the floods from that year created.

I joined Mastodon at the end of 2022… practically 2023.

@stuartl I'm a year 2022 centrist. So let's just all argree it "might" exist, though it "not existing" does also have some nuanced uses*

*ethical trolling

@catsalad Yes good. Plz continue to leave us out of things. 😆

@catsalad Inaugural Gen X-er...

Says so right on my profile...

@catsalad is the gratest is X ?

@catsalad cries into glass of garden-hose water

@catsalad cats?

@Haikyoneko Yeah, that must've been it!

@catsalad Looks right to me! (b. 1968)

@catsalad

You are as cruel as a cat person with a laser pointer.

@jrdepriest

@catsalad

Sure, forget about us Generation Jones people just like everybody else does. 😆

@catsalad I'm Generation FU.

@catsalad My generation 🚲🤣
