The poachers just taught gorillas how to make traps. Now the gorillas are gonna go full Rambo on them.

When you're a poacher and the bushes start speaking gorilla.

teach gorillas to make traps to catch poachers

Quite a few of them, actually - as well as remakes, the more recent of which are actually pretty good & you shouldn't limit yourself to just one if that's all you've seen.

If they're 4 years old, that makes them generation alpha.

What does this have to do with Gen Z?

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There's a trope out there that Gen Z has to do everythingbfor themselves because the older generations have failed them so thoroughly.

Weird, the stereotype I've seen everywhere is that they don't know how to do anything for themselves

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I see Boomers saying that....usually calling the 20 year olds "millennials".

Most millennials know they've been dealt an even shittier hand than we were.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I see Millenials bemoaning Gen Z helplessness all the time. I think the only generation thinking or Gen Z as capable are the Gen Z themself.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Generalizations only work so well. Some millennials chastise Gen Z and some support them.

I am an Eldritch millennial and everyone that I know thinks Gen Z is pretty awesome. We're just trying to hold the world together for them.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Funny, because my friends who were teachers all quit teaching.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah. Teaching sucks and I don't know why anyone puts up with it. Mad respect and solidarity to all the teachers out there.

Doesn't mean they don't like Gen Z. They're overworked and underpaid. But I can't stress enough that that's our fault. (I might put more blame on the Boomers running things.) We're not prioritizing education and you can't blame the people in school for that.

Both are young. I think that's about it.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

I was expecting there to more to it

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

Now teach them to open migrant camp doors.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Feels like a metaphor for Gen Z at large tbh
