bait
Boomer forgot how millennials are old enough to have had to have film developed.
Pissed the hell out of my boomer photography enthusiast dad. Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.
Red eyes also happen on digital photos.
Well you gotta stop taking photos of me just after I’ve smoked a fat joint, man!
I’m gen z and I still remember that time.
Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”
Red eye happens because of the flash. So still happens on digital cameras. It’s just nowadays they automatically detect and correct for it after the shot has taken.
The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.
Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll officially transition to “30s to mid 40s.”
Wow thanks I’m going to go cry now
Don’t leave me high. Don’t leave me dry-igh-igh…
And people acting like “boomers” are now usually Gen-x.
True. It is not a boomer who made that meme. It is either a troll or yet another bitter Gen X.
: Takes a sip of a juice pouch:
It is true. A millennial becomes more bitter with age.
: smacks tongue, eyes roll back as though recalling a childhood memory:
But millennials have these… : swishes liquid millennial over palate:
Bracing tannins that challenge you and require further observation.

And he pondered, how DID he find himself at some sort of pre-historic blood ritual? Was this not his beautiful wife? Was this not his beautiful car?
As far as mental maturity goes I skipped from 15 to 65, which is to say I’ve never truly behaved as a normal adult free of childish and/or eccentric whims.
Even the digitals you had in the 00’s didn’t have very good red eye correction (if any at all)
My oldest nephew was born in 2003 and I was still having to manually remove red eye using Paintshop Pro 7 from my mum’s digital photos of him when was about 6 or 7.
I distinctly remember the first digicams to be worse than analogue in this regard
It was so bad that the PC software that came with the camera often had a red eye removal feature. I remember being fascinated when I figured out you could use it on things other than eyes and it just took the red out of anything.
I immediately jumped to magical thinking and every person you took a picture of was robbed of blood.
Before anyone asks, yes, I’m on the line with RL Stine as we speak.
Did it do some form of automatic eye detection or did you have to manually select the eyes?
You had to select the eyes. The software I remember had a little square box that popped up, and you moved it over the eyes and clicked to remove the red eye.
Red eye correction didn’t come to the default camera app on iPhones until 2013.
“Millenials” just means “people younger than me” now.
And at the same time, “boomer” means anyone over 50, somehow. Soon I will be a boomerlennial.
As a Xennial, this terrifies me, but I’m thankful I’m old enough to dodge the draft when the first round happens.
I hope I never have to utilize the skills GI Joe taught me.
Hell, even the older Gen-Z grew up with analog cameras, VHS players, paper maps, and no computers.
I’m not sure people realize zoomers are almost 30, and millennials are nearing 50.
im 40. im a millenial.
…im old
<.<
Wait until they find out about GenAlpha
When the fuck do we get to retire from the “young and stupid” category? I literally turn 36 today and my body cracks when I get up in the morning.
Also, I had red eyes in most photos from my child- and teenhood. I spent a lot of money on film in my teens before I got my first phone with a proper camera in 2007.
Next you’re gonna condescendingly explain what a floppy disc or a cassette tape is too? Even Gen z is old enough to know about those.
I don’t think you properly understand how generations work.
- A Boomer is anyone older then me who I disagree with.
- A millennial is anyone younger then me who I disagree with.
- Someone from Gen Z is anyone younger than me who uses a technology (usually a social media site) I don’t like.
You totally stole this explanation from Tik Tok, zoomer. I bet you don’t even know how to launch Netscape from command line. /S
Millennial? No we don’t we were there the whole time…
Right? Who made this? What millennial doesn’t remember red eye, it was in every damn photo when I was a kid and Im not a particularly old millennial.
Mate I’m a millennial and I had my photos developed at the chemists. You’re thinking of gen z.
You’re thinking of young gen z. I am gen z and as a kid I also had some of my photos developed.
Either way, I think we can agree that millennials know what film is. Many of us have even developed it ourselves. You know back when people were thought things other than app development and learned helplessness.
I believe they are name gen alpha or some other greek letter.
I can’t wait to see how Gen Delta turns out.
Gen alpha surely. But also the younger gen z I would think. Afaik gen z starts around the end of the 90s
There was a brief surge in the 10s where disposable film cameras were given out as party favors at weddings.
Edit: Meant to comment on a comment further down.
I don’t know for genZ people but I use my last disposable camera in 2010. Althought, I must be honest I had stop to use them for more almost two years in favor of the more common digital camera.
I think I last used a disposable one in 2008 when I was 6. I have an analog one now but was fully digital inbetween.
Generation Omega.
Seriously, I remember taking a disposable camera with me on our school trip Washington. I also remember that it was during that trip that we all found out you could open those things up and turn them into mini tasers.
I’m a Millenial, grew up with a polaroid. This meme is just wrong.
Even beyond that the 1980s is like the start of millennials. I’d ask if this was made by LLMs but I’d expect even those to get something that dumb correct.
I’m a millennial and my first camera used film cassettes similar to these ones.
You beat me to it. It was so satisfying to brute force the… Advancement square(?) between each shot. Made me feel like a spy, even though the camera was being blue and my sister had covered it with stickers of holographic dolphins.
110 cameras were the absolute best!
How, uh, young do you think millennial are exactly? Pretty much all of us were around for cameras before phones.
I had a super cool N64 film camera that I took with me to sleepovers and took lots of shitty photos with because I was a dumbass kid that didn’t know anything about photography.
Mhhh… yes, we millenials who are approaching or are already in our 40s… what’s all that red eye stuff about?
Millennials are between 29 and 44. They are turning into the old generation.
This meme feels like it is 10 or more years old.
But then they would have been between 19 and 34.
One thing I found interesting is!how red-eye reduction works - it pre-flashes you eye briefly, before the main flash. So your pupils constrict and light doesn’t reflect off the bottom of your eyes. Yes, you are part of the mechanism!
Some strange kind of bio-mechanical symbiotic mechanism is that!
My dad had an expensive as hell Olympus point and shoot with this. It was so fucking annoying. Took like a half minute for a snap shot and I’d be blind from all the strobing.
So that’s why the choice seems to be between red eyes or tiny pupils. I have some old photos where the surroundings look really dark, the flash on the people makes them look ghostly pale and everyone has unnaturally constricted pupils. If we were trying to avoid demonic pictures, I think we failed.
But then your subjects relax their pose on the first flash and you have 1/2 the group start walking off by the time the 2nd one flashes.
People call “millennials” young because they are old but too proud to say “teenagers”.
Plus the generational infighting is what the ruling class will use to replace or supplement the culture war.
I think they mean GenZ but this meme looks pretty old so it was probably actuate when it was posted originally.
When millenials were young, they were directly experiencing red eye photos, so there’s no way this meme could have ever been right.
I mean, if it was posted when millennials were young, it is still not at all accurate.
Why can’t pride say teenagers
Millenials grew up going into a store to have photos developed from film.
I, Gen Z, am old enough too remember the red eyes on photos? What is this trying to say xd
That people make shit up.
I’m GenZ and I remember when Abraham Lincoln gave a speech at my school.
Some people don’t get it
I’m a millennial and I remember when Abraham Lincoln walked past the window at school and smiled and waved.
He was going to the bathroom.
