The Boomer Challenge Is Sweeping The Nation!
While I appreciate user @ IrishmanAlways dedication to fantastic Martin Scorsese pictures, I'm not sure if I have the sheer force of will to complete his list of demands. Let's break it down:
1. No Cell Phones & 2. No Internet
This would probably be the hardest 2 items on the list because they go hand and hand. My phone without internet is like a Hitachi Magic Wand without D Cell batteries. Without these two, I wouldn't be able to go on twitter/tiktok and have my brain progressively irony poisoned to the point where I can't have regular conversations with offline people. Sounds awful! On the flip side, @IrishmanAlways wouldn't be able to comment "Hey sweetie do u want a sugar daddie I can venmo u a $200 a week allowance" on 22 year E-girl's tweets.
3. No CD-Roms/DVDs
You're telling me I have to go a whole week without a CD-ROM or DVD? Impossible. Lucky for me, neither my Macbook nor my PC have a CD drive. I also only own one movie on DVD (The Incredibles), so that should help curb my addiction.
4. No Game Systems
Too much of the world's economy revolves around streaming for this to be possible. The dono-based microeconomy keeps E-girls, stream snipers and even lego-headed philadelphians off the street. Sorry @IrishmanAlways, but unless you want another recession, this is a no-go.
5. No Bottled Water
@IrishmanAlways incidentally makes a good point here. Boomers were wayyyyy more environmentally conscious than the following generations. We wake up and drink bottled water by the pool-full and eat "avocado toast" and "freakin tide pods!". Boomers woke up in their lead-based painted homes stuffed with asbestos and drove their 9 MPG Chevys to their shift at the racism factory. Oh and the factory only produced 10 gallons of radioactive waste (dumped safely into a local river tributary) per hour.
6. No Microwaves
I don't think @IrishmanAlways realizes the gravity of this request. One minute into a world without microwaves and we have lost all wireless communication in the world. The international space station calls earth but gets silence in return. Satellites rain upon the earth without navigation to guide them. Cancer treatment becomes inert. Tesla's begin crashing at only a slightly higher rate without collision avoidance systems. Key fobs won't work anymore. Lastly, Call of duty player NarutoGoku420's microwave dings, but his taquitos are not ready.
7. No Cable/Satellite TV
Did people @IrishmanAlways' age grow up without TV? Well, no. He may have only had 4 channels , but they were available nonetheless. But while other children watched "Leave it to Beaver" or whatever, he was busy at the 1955 Hoop & Stick competition (That year's winner was Joe Biden, who was only 33 at the time). That said, I haven't had cable since I moved out in 2015, so I'm not sure how hard this would hurt me. But the more I think about it, I really need those 500 USA Network shows about some dude that matchmakes dogs while solving malpractice crimes in the Hamptons or something.
