#Gen alpha

[syppys-den]

this is fairly accurate, but honestly I feel it kind of shows the hypocrisy of my generation (Zoomers) in a way

like... you're telling me that Skibidi Toilet is brainrot but deep fried memes and AMOGUS aren't? also weren't we patient zero of Let It Go?

also do any Gen Alpha kids actually watch Skibidi Toilet? like I'm genuinely convinced the kind of Aoomers people complain about are like... one kid that someone met in the mall or something and that meme spread like wildfire

If we assume the batfam are living in 2024 and Damian is around 10 then that means he was born in 2014 and has likely never touched a DVD in his life

So I’m minoring in science education, and in one of my education seminars, we’re discussing the Gen Alpha literacy crisis. In the past few years teen literacy has been declining, and it’s now estimated that about 1/4 of teenagers cannot interpret basic texts. I just finished a middle school teaching internship, and the majority of my students weren’t reading at grade level.

While researching this issue, I've come across so many Millennial parents talking about how their kids don't read at all and asking how they could get their children to read more. "My child hasn't read a book in years, what do I do?!"

They talked about everything from private tutors to homeschooling, taking away devices, talking about how schools are garbage... And I feel like they're ignoring the most obvious answer, which is that they themselves don't read!

How do you expect your child to read books when you yourself don't read any? You need to model the behavior you want for your child. Your child doesn't think reading is important because they've never seen you read. And so, when you tell them reading is important, they just don't believe you.

man I love living in a world where all the generations younger than me know what being ace is. It heals the part of me that had to choose between giving a TED talk or just staying closeted to everyone in my generation and older. Living like that does such great harm and it's like. Teens and young adults are out there reading about ace characters in their books. They've got ace characters in their TV shows. They've got ace friends. The damage has been done to me, but every time I see someone younger than me talk about being ace/someone who is ace as if it's just. normal. it heals me 1%

"...we know the government doesn't give a fuck about us. We know the government doesn't give a flying fuck about the future of this country. I don't give a fuck about Biden's campaign! Nor do I give a fuck about Trump's campaign. Because they don't care about me! They don't care about babies. They don't care about women. They don't care about Black people or Native Americans. They don't give a fuck about Palestinian children. I do! I give a fuck about this country! I was born on this soil. I love this place. Because I love my friends, and I love the earth, and I want to protect it, and they don't. Because they want pocket change."

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

"

You have to forgive me, cause I'm getting a little angry, but I've seen a lot of rhetoric on this app, and on other social media, and on the news, that our generation is soft. That Gen X- Gen X, Boomers, and Silent Generation believe that Gen Z and millenials and this Gen Alpha are soft. And I will tell you what, I think that is the worst thing to assume.

I have witnessed hundreds of my peers' lives be stripped away from them; their futures, their hopes, their dreams, their prom nights, because of our government's inaction with gun control. I have witnessed millions of lives taken away and altered and changed and ruined because of our government's inaction with Covid.

You guys made us tough. We're tough. We're tougher than you think, and we're tougher than you like to admit. Because we know the government doesn't give a fuck about us. We know the government doesn't give a flying fuck about the future of this country.

I don't give a fuck about Biden's campaign! Nor do I give a fuck about Trump's campaign. Because they don't care about me! They don't care about babies. They don't care about women. They don't care about Black people or Native Americans. They don't give a fuck about Palestinian children. I do! I give a fuck about this country!

I was born on this soil. I love this place. Because I love my friends, and I love the earth, and I want to protect it, and they don't. Because they want pocket change.

Tough. You think you're tough? You're bootlickers! Subservient to the idea of "growth." As if we can grow anymore! Our planet is dying! Because you don't give a fuck. Because you're soft. And saving the planet might be a little tougher than you thought.

I'm ready for that work. You know what I'm not ready for? Another world war. Just because I'm not gonna go over and shoot another working class person that I probably have more in common with, than an owning class piece of shit like Elon Musk, I'm soft? Because I care enough to accomodate my differently-abled peers, I'm soft? Because I don't wanna joke about women getting abused, I'm soft? If I'm alone in a room with Jeff Jackson, I'm leaving with his teeth in a jar. I'll show you how soft I am.

And you wanna ban the only place that we found community? Yeah, nonono. This election year is crazy. Because at this point, like, I think the entire generation, my generation, knows that you guys are geriatric, and knows that the Constitution is as well. It's too old. We are one of the youngest countries and we have the oldest Constitution? Make that make sense to me.

It's time for change. It's time for a new way of life. And these rich, stupid fucks don't deserve to be in charge of it. That's it, I'm sorry, that's it. That's it, I'm done."

Rest in peace James Potter, you would have loved saying “What the skibidi”, “I am the rizzer” and “Chat, am I cooked?” 24/7

Rest in peace Sirius Black, you would have loved saying that Remus is “the alpha” and “OOOH🗣️IT’S🔥COLD🥶IN‼️HERE💯” 24/7

Rest in peace Peter Pettigrew, you would have loved saying “What the sigma”, “skibidi toilet” and “only in Ohio” 24/7

Rest in peace, Remus Lupin. Finally. Peace and quiet, away from your friends who consume brain rot on a daily basis.

I need Dick's reactions to Gen Alpha Dami and Jon, maybe if he's babysitting or chaperoning them both or smth? Thank you!

Damian: Grayson, my friends are coming over.

Dick: I'll run down to the gas station for some snacks.

Damian: Tt. That's nothing but chemically treated junk peddled by megacorporations who fund deforestation and violate human rights at the cost of our health and taxpayer dollars.

Dick: Well we don't have much at home so I'll take you out to eat.

Dick, muttering as he leaves: Deforestation and taxpayer dollars...

Damian: Grayson, these are my friends. You already know Jon, Colin, and Billy. Meet Maya, Maps, Kathy, and Suren. Guys, this is my fossil of a brother, Richard.

Dick: I'm only 27!

Maya: 2024 minus 27...

Maya: You were born in the 1900s.

The kids: *high five*

Colin: Inflation.

Dick: How about your game, Suren?

Suren, wearing VR glasses: *whacks Dick with a plastic sword*

[at the prize counter]

Maps: I'll take that.

Maps: *points to a box*

Absolutely love watching the evolution of a “cringe content” YouTuber (as in, someone who does “commentary” on “cringe”) go from shitting on gen z to shitting on gen a.

All the comments are the same. Always. “As a part of this generation, I’m sorry for what we’ve done,” “as someone who is gen _, we do not claim them,” “as someone who is (age), I’m sorry for what we have done”

STOP. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. DON’T BE SORRY JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR AGE. DON’T LET PEOPLE CONVINCE YOU THAT YOU’RE WORTH LESS BECAUSE OF WHEN YOU WERE BORN. YOU’RE BEING INDOCTRINATED. AND IT WILL NOT END IF YOU PARTAKE IN IT.

Why does it never end. Why does nobody ever learn that your age is not always an indicator of who you are as a person. Why is it so normal to beat down on literal children. What did they ever do wrong
