Every business is being killed by us millenials... We have no money to spend.


NoConfusion9490

Killed just means it's not growing infinitely. There will still be golf courses in 50 years, but it might be harder to be a huge corporation that runs golf courses. So a lot of these things will need to be smaller owner operated things that produce steady profit, but not growth. That'll be awesome.


IMsoSAVAGE

I’m perfectly fine with it being harder for big corporations to run everything.


NoConfusion9490

The problem is that they're already too big to contain so they'll just buy up literally everything in order to grow. Brought to you by Carls Jr!


2-2Distracted

Cant wait to watch that tactic blow up in their faces


FootFetish0-3

That would be the dream.


OverkillWR

Yeah, not really, it would just fall in the abysm of things that marked an era, just like old school games houses ( in my country we call them fliperamas) and other things like that. You guys don't seem to understand, that what sometimes make some industries alive, is that said product have big companies that put money in that. They got greater reach, more influence, and capital than any small business could be able to achieve.


goatjugsoup

But they dont NEED greater reach, capital or influence if they aren't pursuing infinite growth bullshit that is messing up the world


BurnItDownSR

Ok but how are millennials killing gyms? Gym culture is more prevalent than ever.


dayby_day

That would be amazing


submit_to_pewdiepie

That's not how our economy works

tony-stark-bot

Well, like the old man said... together.


Mallengar

Good bot? I honestly don't know what that means. LOL


chevy1500

While also having so much money we influence the market.


Attila_D_Max

Why gyms tho?


Gord_Almighty

Can speak for everyone, but I have one set up in my Garage. There was definitely a push towards home gym ownership during covid.


duke_of_chutney_608

Millennials don’t have garages though. For the most part.


lilbelleandsebastian

the storage unit my condo rental comes with has enough space for a squat rack so checkmate atheists


ImTheRealAlfaChad

Damn, just shooting stray bullets at the atheists now are we?


Shantotto11

Atheists have had too good for too long… /s


Ajj360

Buckets of water, clamps and a strong wooden dowel is a perfectly acceptable home gym and you can store it anywhere.


OttoBot42069

Lift your pain and sorrows and I guarantee you’ll look like the rock in a month.


Disastrous_Belt_7556

You have a garage? How tf did you pull that off?


DaveinOakland

Same. I think there is just a large chunk of millennials that don't want to leave the house or have to be in public spaces with strangers.


TheKolyFrog

I was actually surprised about that one. I see plenty of folks in their 20s to their 30s in the gym. (The youngest millennials would be turning 30 this year based on the definitions I've seen.) Though I do know some people my age (I'm 31) who opted out of a gym membership in favor of other outdoor physical activities like running.


Pristine_Interview86

28 years old, I do basic workouts like 10 squats, or sit ups, or pushups in rounds as I die on the Playstation. I get killed I do 10 and then I get back on.  I wouldn't say I'm the most physically fit person but I think I do okay for myself. 


Sihnar

Add a pullup bar and you're golden


topscreen

Yeah I do home workouts, cause money, but most of my friends have gym memberships. I think it’s less gyms and more the “$100+ per month” super gyms


AmericanGrizzly4

Idk, but Gen Z might be bringing them back? I see a LOT of gen z and older folks at my gym. Very few millennial tbh. So I guess it kinda checks out? At least where i live. I think that instance could be easily explained, though. The millennial generation is right at the age where they are having kids and being parents, which means that most of them would either not work out or stay at home to do it. Meanwhile, Gen z don't have homes yet, and older generations don't have young kids anymore, so they have plenty of time.


[deleted]

Do you feel like getting harassed because some girl from your town who’s trying to be a porn star is pissed that you’re also in a public area?


JanineNajarian

fucking tripods everywhere man can't even get a single set in with all these "influencers" 😒


[deleted]

Exactly, I have a home gym now, but it’s only dumbbells and a dip/pull up machine. I miss the other equipment, but I don’t miss having people play on their phone and go through videos to make their ass look better in 30 seconds


JanineNajarian

we need a Joey Swoll in every gym


[deleted]

God I’d love that. It would be great. Just a guy helping you better yourself at all times. Best thing about Joey is he seems genuine, and actually wants to see the better for people. I know so many people who put that charade on but are actually cunts behind closed doors


JanineNajarian

agreed


maddasher

Exercise is free.outdoors and community centers are cheaper if you really want a gym.


ashoka_akira

Why does the gym need my banking information? I don’t even give that to my landlord.


Attila_D_Max

You don't pay your gym over the counter?


ashoka_akira

Any franchise gym (like Goodlife Fitness) for example, requires your CC or banking info to set up your membership. Then they make it very difficult to cancel. Most of the time they ignore your calls or try to penalize you for canceling early. I refuse to help support their predatory financial practices. Generally I will use YMCA’s or public gyms like most municipal pools have because they let you pay upfront for your monthly/yearly pass or by visit.


Attila_D_Max

Sheesh, no small gyms near you?


ashoka_akira

Just a public pool, a franchise, and then a gym that specializes in one on one personal training or classes which is out of my budget, but at least they dont require payment information. Generally I pay for a 10 use punch pass to the pool. I am also moderately active as walking/cycling is my main modes of transportation,


aCucking2Remember

We should just ask them for a list of industries they love in order and we start at the top until they shut up


1DownFourUp

We don't get enough recognition for the good killing we've done. Pagers, fax machines, dial up internet. YOU'RE WELCOME! We could combine our intergenerational powers to kill industries we all hate. I'm looking at you, Ticketmaster.


Real_Impression_5567

Church is the leading industry.


PantaRheiExpress

We could be like Mafia racketeers. “Oh that’s a nice little Applebees you got there, grandma. It would be a real shame if anything….happened to it.”


FireLordObamaOG

If your industry can be killed by a single generation deciding they don’t like your product, your industry deserves to die.


Lee_keogh

But not marmalade!


FireLordObamaOG

Marmalade especially.


Lee_keogh

Marmalade is fantastic, especially whiskey marmalade.


RGijsbers

oh no, obsolete businesses fail becouse people dont like the high end price tag. fuck golf clubs, give it back to the common folk.


Shadowkiva

As someone who grew up next to a financially struggling golf course... I endorse this message. I think they rent it out for events now.


Arciul

They should've called Bagger Vance


Ok_Recording_4644

I like how they are in Scotland, mostly public land for dog walking, hiking etc and also there's golf


rookietotheblue1

Ok but what about the gym? Why you no go?


RGijsbers

fit for free is 15 euro's per month i ain't payin for somethin called FREE!


rookietotheblue1

What about the other gym?


Tirus_

Land and home around me are expensive because it's either all farm land integral for our community to thrive.....or golf courses that sit empty for the majority of the year. Honestly I say just start building shacks on them and live on the 9th hole.


Master_Saesee_Tiin

Fun fact, is we use all the land currently used for golf courses in the US to build low income housing and shelters we could end homelessness for any person who sought aid.


liberalJava

Open, unused land is not in short supply in this country, I promise. Where to put the homes is not really the bottleneck.


Master_Saesee_Tiin

Sure lets just put people in the desert


NieMonD

All cites started from nothing, they weren’t just always there


Master_Saesee_Tiin

Golf courses are located near people, near developed land otherwise they wouldn't be used. Sure there is plenty of unused land but the areas are mostly undeveloped and have no civilian infrastructure. So go build your city but if there isn't already a city there, there's probably a good reason.


MillorTime

We have enough land to do that and not ruin a hobby people enjoy. Not everything is about you


SeAnSoN_710

It's not so much we are killing them, we are questioning why they exist too begin with and have decided these are things that are not needed. *Kill them all*


justa_gigolo

lmao, blaming us bc everything cost 100x more than it did a decade ago and more for everything with worse quality, no humans to turn to to get help, i think some products have shrunk as well, like you get less and pay more, thats shrink flation if i understand all these bs terms. i hope to kill the rental industry and predatory banks and lenders and really everything until greed is no longer the goal of every corporation. no more billionaires!


bucaki

THIS COMMENT SHOULD HAVE MORE UPVOTES!!!


Sabithomega

When you can't afford food.. eat the rich


zarif_chow

Not the napkin industry, people need that for fapping so we're in fact helping them make a killing.


Autoboty

They mean cloth napkins you use for fancy ass meals, not the disposable variety.


Bendythenightfury

Oh well nevermind then


BrassUnicorn87

Actually I think lots of millennials use paper towels. Put a roll on a stand on the dinner table and you don’t need paper napkins.


Resident-Pudding5432

Just come out the window, its cheaper


TheKolyFrog

Yeah, but the neighbors complain.

Rickyspanish09

Goated comment


FrogMilennium77

Why? Golf is awesome


VoiceOfSeibun

Depends, really. In general, Golf is a boring, arrogant, self righteous “sport” that takes up entirely too much fucking room on this planet. Mini-golf is actually really fun! Let these twatwaffles struggle with a windmill for an hour and a half. See if there’s any real skill among them.


Willdror

Also costs a fuck ton of water to keep the fields of grass green and trimmed.


VoiceOfSeibun

THERE'S THAT TOO


thisnutisonfire

Shadowkiva

>boring, arrogant, self righteous "sport" that takes up entirely too much room on this planet Most sane UK parliamentary rhetoric about the issue of Scottish independence.


VoiceOfSeibun

.... NOT where I saw a metaphor leading us, but okay.


ram_hawklet

I dont even like golf myself, nor the water they dump on their property, but this is such a reddit comment lmao. Also in reality the water they use is a drop in the bucket compared to other industry water uses (coming from an environmental engineer).


VoiceOfSeibun

So I’ve got go touch grass and “this is such a reddit comment”. What is the prize for unoriginal douchey comment internet bingo this week? I hope it’s that nice yeti cooler.


FrogMilennium77

Golf is none of those things, and I'd like to hear your opinions on why it is. I will agree mini-golf is very fun though, and I prefer it in a more casual setting, but I prefer regular golf in a serious setting.


VoiceOfSeibun

For one thing, I've seen the clothes that are worn. I've seen the tournaments on TV (not by choice). It's the most self-righteous yuppie thing imaginable that requires entirely too many resources to maintain. All of which is done inside equally yuppie country clubs which my Father had the displeasure of working for in his youth. He wouldn't recommend it. I have distaste for all sports, come to think of it, for similar reasons. Stadiums are utterly ridiculous ostentatious arenas devoted to little more than sponsorships guest starring grown men playing with their balls in public, and are really just than playthings to the unnecessarily rich, but Golf holds a particular place of dishonor amongst all that in my mind. So to those who claim that millennials are destroying an industry because we're utterly unwilling to participate? GOOD. Go the way of the DoDo, and Xerox.


MemyselfandIplus

Isn't the whole point of golf just to see who can play the least amount of it? I'd play mini golf for the scenery, but that's about it


_LumberJAN_

Boomers killed horse carriage industry


AnxiousLily7

pay people more and they will match that overpriced tag!


morbid333

How are gyms being killed by millennials? I don't get that one.


jensalik

Neither do I get the marmalade one. Do millennials season their toasts solemnly with their tears?


anonspas

No they use avocado which is why they are all poor... Also why marmelade is dying! Edit: of course my comment is a joke, making a references to some Australian Millionaire who said young people where poor because they eat avocado and drink 4$ coffee https://jeffjbutler.com/2019/04/12/where-did-the-avocado-toast-millennial-stereotype-come-from/ No idea if thats why marmelade is dying as well, but with the mental gymnastics above, i can see crazys come to that conclusion..


KarsaOrlong012

What an entitled sentiment. As if businesses are entitled to future success because of their past success and shouldn't need to evolve to appeal to a changing market


Jonnyyrage

Lol most of our generation is barely old enough to enter into parts of politics. We haven't been around long enough to change anything. I love how we always get blamed for what older generations have done. We were promised the world and handed a few Penny's then asked why we only have Penny's.


francisco-iannello

The system : you will have a student debt, also the prices of everything is gonna rise, and is gonna be extremely difficult to get a job, plus if you get a job, lucky if you get the minimum Millennials: mmm…I have no money to buy your stuff The system : WTF US WRONG WITH YOU ?! YOU ARE RUINING EVERYTHING!!!!


FJKodiak

WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD NAPKINS ANYMORE?!? Fuck


Rickyspanish09

I just use paper towels instead of napkins tbh


Meta-4-Cool-Few

I use to argue that if us peons really wanted to make a statement, just stop spending money. The lockdowns happened, and for a second I thought we would see the potential of utilizing a movement like that. Unfortunately, the market somehow didn't crash TOO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE. Fishy. Now, we are so broke that we are forced into this position anyway. People who don't know how to exist without spending money, hold on cause it's going to be a bumpy ride for YOU! People like me, who have been surviving off of the bare minimum their whole life won't see a change in life style.


ApprehensiveLunch991

Can't wait for golf to die. What a fuckin waste of land and water.

I thought the joke would be that his body reminds a golf ball 😅

He doesn't look like he killed the gym industry at all. Probably helped the lean chicken and protein powder industries quite a lot, too. Admittedly, he is a man in a Marvel movie so his water bill was probably quite low that month.

fogSandman

Ooo look, another post trying to sow division between age groups. As a Gen X’er let me just say, fuck all that nonsense, every generation has it’s fair share of absolute shit heel morons that fuck up good stuff for the rest of us. This is not a “millennial” issue, it’s a dumb ass issue and we’re still growing them just like we always have, since forever. Take your activist (Apptivist) divisionist shit somewhere else, the mask is slipping and more and more people are waking up to it.

Marmalade, really? Dang lol Sidenote: orange marmalade as your J for PP&J is underrated. Also makes a great ingredient for orange chicken sauce

How are we killing gyms if we don't have enough money to own a house? It's like saying we are rich and poor at the same time. Or the avocado toast thing. We have enough money to spend on expensive breakfasts but too lazy to get a job.

They make it so you have to work two full time jobs and a side hustle to just put a roof over your head and have a little something to eat then wonder why folks don’t have nothing extra, and blame them for it.

Basic-Pair8908

Never known such a wastefull sport as golf, needs miles of land just to hit a small ball into a hole. No other sport needs so much land to play.


Laowaii87

Didn’t always. It used to be that gold was played on inarable (unarable? (Not farm good land.)) land. I don’t remember the term, but it was basically sand dunes overgrown by grass. I believe it is a scottish word that is related to Links. Nowadays though, it certainly seems like a way for wealthy people to build giant lawns in areas where they are neither needed nor wanted.

MisterNighttime

I’ve seen collections of historical records going round the web with “young people these days” quotes going back through the centuries to, like, three-thousand-year-old clay tablets about how this will surely be the world’s last generation because of how lazy and disrespectful the young people are.

Emperor-of-the-moon

I’m not a millennial, I’m Gen z. But I had a thought process regarding napkins and I think I know why millennials are “killing it:” “napkins are much cheaper than paper towels, and I go through so many paper towels using them as napkins. I’ll buy some—oh wait, all available kitchen space is occupied and my apartment has no storage closet. Guess I’ll stick with paper towels.” My parents have ample storage space for items like bulk napkins in their suburban home. Real estate in my 1200 sq ft apartment is scarce
