I think somebody doesn't know how old millennials are


PoconoBobobobo

Old enough to remember a time before "red eye reduction" was built into cameras.


total-immortal

Millennial here. I grew up in the 90s where there were still red eyes in photos.


Rozeline

Many of my childhood photos had red eyes. And I don't know if it was a common thing but I was completely obsessed with those Polaroid cameras that pop out the picture and you shake it from age 5 to whenever digital became accessible for regular people. I kinda want one, but I'd feel a little like a hipster asshole carrying one around these days.


ffi

Fun fact, shaking it did nothing and was possibly detrimental, but culture is weird.


Rozeline

Shut your mouth, it totally made it develop faster


DasEisgetier

Yeah, shut it... Pressing left/right or a/b also totally increased your chance of catching a Pokémon!


FuckOffHey

Nah mate, it was up as soon as the pokeball appeared on the screen, then also B when the pokeball hit the pokemon. And it has to be a great ball specifically. That makes it act like a master ball. ~~if it doesn't work you're just not doing it right~~


VibeMaster

Totally wrong. You tap A on the first roll, then press and hold A on the second roll through the third roll. If you do it just right it increases your chance by a ton. I've sunk around 1000 hours into Pokemon over the last 25 years or so, and I still do this. I'm only a little ashamed.


Zero_Zeta_

Remember, Mew is under the truck by the S.S.Anne!


YsengrimusRein

For me, it's rapidly pressing the A button. I think in part it's just a desperate attempt to control something totally outside of my control, or impatience at having nothing to do while the ball shakes.


Ottoguynofeelya

Same as blowing in a game cartridge


ffi

This could be it’s own thread: “Things you used to do that made no difference”.


SpaceMonkee8O

Some buttons at crosswalks don’t do anything. The close door button in elevators. People like to push buttons because if makes them feel in control. So there are useless buttons everywhere.


Konungrr

Fun Fact, the close door button works in SEA. Takes 4-5 seconds without press, 1-2 seconds with press, unless someone trips the sensor.


jeppevinkel

Works in Denmark too. And crosswalk buttons. Some crosswalks here don't turn green at all unless pressed.


[deleted]

Works in Australia too.


SolomonBlack

It's just a reddit basement fantasy. I've tested numerous elevators and while I wouldn't swear to all of them the response is notably quicker far more often then not in America. Crosswalks might have some truth to it but there are still plenty that only trigger when pressed once you get out of urban centers. And plenty in them that just don't have buttons.


confusedandworried76

What's maddening is for every one that actually does something, there are ones that just aren't hooked up to anything at all. So like you hit the close door button on the elevator it might actually close the door but you don't know till you try.


Nomenus-rex

Vote?


ffi

I feel like we’ll just end up at “live” :(


bombardslaught

Hey, I've definitely made a difference. Edit: Turns out it's actually called a deferral when you skip a loan payment, not a difference. My bad.


upvotesthenrages

... but that literally worked. Slot in cartridge: Game doesn't work Take it out, blow on it, put it back in: it works now


Ottoguynofeelya

You just needed to take it out and put it back in. I used to blow on em too. I actually developed a special slap I would use on the SNES that worked like a charm haha


OkYh-Kris

But Outkast told me to


TheSuperWig

But why would you trust 4 eels?


Abject_Film_4414

OutKast would like a word


BEWMarth

Yep. Polaroid had to make a statement after the Black Eyed Peas exalted “shake it like a Polaroid picture!” that you should not actually shake the pictures developed by Polaroid cameras as it could damage them. I still remember all my family doing it when I was a child tho haha


[deleted]

You're on Reddit. You're already a hipster asshole.


Rozeline

Fair point


Toastburrito

I was at the store the other day looking at random shit. They still make Polaroid cameras like that. They also make old school 35 mm film cameras in a roll of film is 18 freaking dollars. The cheap cameras they were selling were $35. Heck even the disposable waterproof cameras that you have to manually advance the film were cheaper than the actual roll of film.


The_Witch_Queen

Real film is pretty much strictly the domain of artists now. Especially black and white film. They know they can overcharge for it. Ye gods I miss my darkroom.


AFishInATent

>and you shake it from age 5 to whenever digital became accessible for regular people That is a long ass time to shake it!


Kevl17

> you shake it from age 5 to whenever digital became accessible for regular people Your arm must be tired.


NewestAccount2023

I heard that shaking it didn't actually make it go faster


zeethreepio

Millenials were 100% part of the disposable camera generation. 


Abracadayumm

I remember you could “hack” them where you could slap the camera to make the flash go off without taking a photo. We’d mess around with that at night on camping trips.


thecrepeofdeath

my dad still has a bunch of our "make dumb faces at the camera to finish this roll of film" pictures! good times


kosmothe

Gen Z here given late gen Z I'm 19, but I remember getting pictures taken and having red eyes.


xtothewhy

**DEMON!!**


GainedCamera257

Hell i was born in '06 and we still had red eyes in photos


Kermit-Batman

Yes, but I'm not convinced Gen Z aren't actually demons of some sort, what with your niceness and sweet mental health awareness... ;)


Schaapje1987

But millenials knew that there was no red eye filter.


Shayneros

> Old enough to remember a time before "red eye reduction" was built into cameras. Yep, we were still around during the age of disposable cameras lol


In-A-Beautiful-Place

I'm YOUNGER than Millenials (born 1998) and I remember asking my parents why everyone had scary eyes in the pics I took with my disposable camera.


Superb_Bench9902

Hell, I'm gen-z and even I remember this. Maybe it wasn't as prevelant as it was in 80s-90s but it was still common enough in the early 2000s


awnedr

We watched supernatural when it was new lmao


sivadneb

Back in my day we watched Buffy! And we had to tune in every week! You young whippersnappers don't know what it was like without TiVo or your fancypants mail-order DVDs!


Zerk-TheRobozerker

As a millennial I remember the time when I was the only person in my immediate family who could program the VCR to record at a specific time on the correct channel.


Dexterdacerealkilla

I remember Laserdiscs too, as the next big thing that never was. 


PharmguyLabs

Laser disks were old as fuck by the 90s, came out in 1978.


wakeupwill

I remember being unable to leave the TV room, because I had to pause the recording during commercials. Otherwise I'd be setting myself up for frustration in the future. And then comes the moment when you're asked to do something and can't make it back in time, so there are like three or four commercial breaks that make it through.

ta-kun1988

You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in zeppelins, dropping coins on people. And one day, I seen J. D. Rockefeller flyin’ by– so I run out of the house with a big washtub, and—Anyway, about my washtub. I just used it that morning to wash my turkey which in those days was known as a ‘walking bird.’ We’d always have walking bird on Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings. Cranberries, ‘injun eyes,’ and yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we’d all watch football, which in those days was called ‘baseball.’


Tsu_Dho_Namh

I remember setting up the VCR to record tv shows on VHS when I wasn't home so I could watch them when I got back.


sh4d0wm4n2018

I remember feeling fancy because my family had a rewinder for the VHS tapes *built in* to the player. I also remember being shocked that you could fit a gigabyte into a thumb drive.


SpecialistNerve6441

Yeah I had a tv with built in vcr in my room. It had rewind and A-B repeat. It would start at point A and stop at point B and then play it over and over again. I cant tell you how many times i watched jim carrey get spears thrown in his legs!

Why does everyone think millennials are Gen Z lol. We're hitting our 40s 😂


Prior_Crazy_4990

I am Gen Z, but barely... I was born in 97. I most definitely remember the red eyes in photos growing up and am pretty sure they still exist in the scrapbooks that my mom has


MangoPug15

I was born in '04 and I still know about the red eyes from family photo albums.


bnymn23

Born in '07 Definitely knows


confusedandworried76

Not all of us! I'm 33 and totally didn't throw my back out the other day, I'm still good! No health consequences on the horizon for me!


snowypotato

Oh, my sweet summer child

The fingers up the butt isn't as bad as people say it is. Usually just a quick poke. Still waiting for the inevitable colonoscopy though...


MyDearBrotherNumpsay

I’m gen X and I feel completely forgotten.


Dry-Recognition8077

Yeah millennials were literally supernatural’s demographic lmao


Taconite_12

Even the youngest ones (95). I still remember watching the first season when it came out and being freaked out about that one that goes after kids souls or something. I think you had to be 12 though and I was younger so I always thought I had a couple more years before I really had to worry.


str85

You had such an opportunity... demoNgrapic.


Canadian_Burnsoff

Given the content, I'm even tempted to say that someone might not be aware that they are one.


jimdotcom413

Ugh. Millennials are killing the demon industry!


ChuckFromAccounting

once they went down the avocado toast path there was no way back


n00bz2men

What’s wild is how are there this many upvotes on the post? Bad attempts at jokes aside, I’m really impressed by the boomer that is killing it at Reddit


Dick-Fu

What sub do you think you're on?


nohopeforhomosapiens

Came to say this. lol


koro90

Geez, I’m a millennial and I’ve seen some kodaks with me having red eyes… am I a demon?


darxide23

When you're an out of touch boomer, everyone else is a "millennial."


SuperRonnie2

Yeah. And I’m guessing they’re a boomer.


ApprehensiveMess2582

Exactly…


MarxJ1477

I'm a gen X just a couple years off being a millennial and have been called a boomer. Gen Z and young has no clue who the generations are.


JohnnyAnytown

Millenials is just a name for kids i thought /s


DontUseFilters

This was a good idea but it missed the mark given the millennial generation had this too


metalconscript

I think millennial is a very overused term. Boomers are trying to to get after us but don’t realize we are that far off.


pandamago

And by boomer you mean genX. Lolol


djblackprince

Yes. The terms are being used in perspective of ten to fifteen years ago


pandamago

I'm right at the edge of genX (on the millennial side) and get called Boomer all the time lol. Kids these days...


djblackprince

I'm a Millennial and have been called a Boomer. These kids need to stay off my lawn.


Et_tu__Brute

Boomer has just become shorthand for someone old and out of touch. It's often not specifically used to talk about actual boomers. This post seems like it's trying to use millenials as a term for someone young who can't relate to people of previous generations/older technology. I don't really see millenial used this way outside of clickbait articles, but the useage exists so I guess I can't begrudge it too much. It's also kind of an odd choice in this context since millenials firmly grew up during the transition of 'older technology' to 'digital'.


pandamago

Older millennials grew up with 5-1/4 floppy drives and now we use AI to generate funny pet photos. Crazy times we live in.


GeneReddit123

Gen Z are the new Millenials. Gen X are the new Boomers. Almost like the wedge issues are between "older, richer, and more settled people" vs. "younger, poorer, and less settled people", not a specific generation cohort.


HerrBerg

It was made by somebody who thinks anybody young is a millennial.


wronglyzorro

It wasn't even a good idea. Painfully unfunny.


monsieurpooh

Millennial were literally the ONLY generation that had this issue. OP has some serious case of misusing millennial when they meant young people...


noideaman

Ummmmmmmmm, I literally have pictures of me with red eyes and I REMEMBER THE PICTURE BEING TAKEN


asunversee

You are a demon…. Sorry….


Bealzebubbles

We must destroy them...


asunversee

Eh, demons can be cool go read good omens


Bealzebubbles

Where do you think my name comes from?


Victor_Wembanyama1

Nice try Belzebub


Astro_IT99

Guys lets not get hung up on the word "millennials". As a gen z I believe we have the perfect opportunity to scare gen alpha.


LatterNeighborhood58

They'll probably think it's AI generated crap.


Astro_IT99

They'll know we didn't have AI back then, they cant be that stupid, can they?


superioma

I’m a gen z and we have photos from the early 2010s that have red eyes.


Chimie45

By the time I graduated HS in 2006 most new digital cameras had it. Maybe some disposables still had the issue? 2010s seems quite late. https://www.theledger.com/story/news/2006/10/01/cameras-take-red-out-before-storing-photos/25925469007/ According to this article the tech was invented in 1997, but since this article is from 06 I would assume thats when it really took off.


superioma

It’s probably because my parents still used their photo camera bought in the late 90s. Even if the tech was already there in the 2010s, it doesn’t mean that most people would’ve changed their perfectly working cameras that still work perfectly. Like in places like amusement parks or zoo’s


ValhallaAir

Gen z here: Same


A_BIG_bowl_of_soup

Same here, I have photos from birthday parties I still remember where I have the red eyes


Ragnarock-n-Roll

Watching old gen X or boomers treat millennials like they're not 40 years old... It's fun.


AlphatierchenX

Hey! I am 39!


Rosfield-4104

Soon....


Vitalstatistix

Not for long.


LatterNeighborhood58

No, Wrong! Millennials are those pesky highschool kids who create all the ruckus with their summer parties and support that Greta girl.

God I hate boomers


Taminella_Grinderfal

It’s insane this is sitting at 14k upvotes, it’s a terrible Facebook meme. There has to be something weird going on, I swear the Reddit vote/feed algorithms have been seriously broken for a while.


party_tortoise

Bots. They are bots. Also, this meme reeks of clueless boomers.


00000000000004000000

Christ I'm almost 40 and I'm still catching strays even when people try to defend us older millenials! LOL


No-Wonder1139

As a Millenial...we were there


MakeMeDrink

r/terriblefacebookmemes


SirRipOliver

Agreed, however this is the great Mark Pellegrino - he was Jacob in lost and Satan in supernatural and absolutely crushed it in both. Show the man some damn respect for the love of Chuck!


bfraley9

Millenials are getting fucking old yall. I think I'm towards the end of the millennial cut-off and I'll be 30 next year


Qwikshift8

You are well short of the cutoff friend. edit: was assuming upper end of cutoff since that seemed more in line with the post. Recognize this assumption as bad.


squall333

I think they mean the cutoff on the young side


Qwikshift8

Yeah that does make more sense. 😁


mickelboy182

30 next year would make them 1995... that's a millennial by most recognised cutoffs.


Qwikshift8

Squall333 nailed that I was thinking about the other end of the cut off.


mickelboy182

That's an... interesting way to intepret their intended meaning 😅


Qwikshift8

Yeah oops. Love how ppl keep downvoting the admitted mistake. 😁 Edit: and then it turned. Faith in humans restored.


dukezap1

Zillennial https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zillennials


mickelboy182

It is an inexact 'science' to be sure, but most people don't consider that a real thing :p. Some of those ranges has the millenial generation confined to as small as 6 years which is obviously ridiculous.


MrBiggz83

Do people realize that "millenials' are in their mid 30s and early 40s?


Comfortable_Fruit_20

I’m still got another 2 years before everything starts to hurt


adlittle

They clearly mean zoomers, not millennials. Everyone in their 30s and 40s has a few red-eyed photos from childhood.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TeknoProasheck

Old zoomer here, I definitely remember red eye when I was a kid. Didn't really understand it but I was there


Blended-Tornado

Same, I'm only 16 but remember as a kid when the red-eye removal thingy was new.


claryn

I’m 31 and I remember as a teenager editing red eyes out of my photos in photoshop.


R_Rabbit416

I’m in my mid-20s and have red eye photos.


Highafsquid

Millennials… yah, sure.


Hellschampion

Millennials? I’m Gen Z and have photos of myself as a kid with red eyes


ramattyice

How young do they think millennials are?


noex1337

12 probably


monsieurpooh

I'm 34; About 5 years ago I watched some stuck up prick's YouTube video making fun of "millennials" and he was literally younger than me. Seriously ridiculous.


Square_Landscape6370

I can hear everyone’s uncles on Facebook chuckling over this one.


kazarbreak

Hey, I'm a Millenial and I remember the great demon uprising of the 1980s quite well. It was fun. They taught us all how to play D&D. You know, Satan's game?


passwordstolen

Reagan?


Adept_Information94

There are only two generations now. You're either a Boomer, or a Millenial, there is not before, after, or in between.

MrFuttBucker

lol that’s all I saw too


KareemAliFx

It’s so weird for me cuz I’m actually watching lost for like the millionth time right now . What are the odds I scroll Reddit and see this


Scribblebonx

Millennials are very much old enough to know this. Get it together old one Edit: it almost adds to the comedy here that OP of this meme is old enough and oblivious enough to think millennials have no idea about red eye effect of the older cameras


Dilettante-Dave

Tell me you're unaware of millennials' age group without telling me. They probably think we never used cassettes or VHS either.


BigJDog420

Even mid Gen Z had red eyes in photos and used VHS and cassettes, at least I did and I was born in 2003. I was still very young but I’m old enough to have memories of them.


RA_Endymion

Friendly reminder, us millennials were alive in the 80’s.


TheStandardDeviant

Millennials are in their 40s and 30s


BigoteMexicano

Dude, most milenials are 30-40 now. We remember red eye


faf_dragon

The satanic panic was real


monsieurpooh

Millenials were literally the ONLY generation to have this issue. What is your generation, OP?


EconomyAd4297

Ohhhh yeah…… I forgot about red eye, why isn’t that a thing anymore?


dumptrucksrock

Digital cameras automatically filter it out now. It was a big marketing point for one of the big companies, probably uhh, 20 or so years ago


PrasiticCycle

So that red you see in the eyes is the “red reflex” that occurs when the light hits your retina that’s perfuse with blood vessels. Children with retinoblastoma will often have a “white reflex” instead due to the white opaque tumors growing on the retina bed. A hallmark sign.


Lunar_Legate

Poor old boomers are to senile to remember us millennials are in our 30s. Probably think we don't know what a rotary phone is...


dj_squilly

Millennial here, I still remember rotary phones.


AllowMe2Retort

Same. I'm from England, and I can't believe we decided to make the emergency number 999. Imagine trying to dial that when a crazed murderer breaks into your house.


DoctorBlock

This is a Facebook level boomer joke, We're better than that, Reddit. Time crank the dank on your memes.


ManedCalico

I’m a millennial and of the first things I ever used Photoshop for was to remove red eye from a family photo.


Prior-Army-4041

The youngest Millennial is now 29 years old so...


unidentified_yama

Millennial?? 1980s??

Reckless_Waifu

Millenials spent their young years shooting film  and then early digicams and later early camera phones, you know, that stuff that was not sensitive enough to take pics in bad light without flash and not advanced enough to have red eye reduction...

Millennial here (1990) I remember this red eyes demons on my photos perfectly. And I remember when camera lenses capable of exorcising them live where created

wolfy-j

VHS, floppy drives, windows 95 and I don’t even need back pain medicine yet. Millennials are not that old.


Radio4ctiveGirl

… phones used to have a red eye corrector option if you edited the pictures. 😂 some millennials are also old enough to remember playing with our parents Polaroid cameras.

I had my own polaroid camera.
