A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
This would seem more accurate to me if it said "Grandparents at 25". I'm the 25yo parent's age and for us, people were already considering whether they could afford 1 or 2 children with mortgage and childcare costs. I guess if we had the big screen TVs, cellphones stronger than computers, gaming computers, and cheap airfare around the world, many of us would have also decided parenting was much too expensive.
I already have 2 monitors (including my laptop screen because I'm primarily on laptop) but recently I tried using Google Earth on a desktop with a fast i7-13700 and a 1440p monitor and it was so immersive. If each pixel was 100m, I could see 256km, all with minimal hiccups.
It reminded me I want a big 4k Monitor for this stuff, maybe even of TV size.
I had 3 by 23 😁
Still have only 2 kids though
just bought a third yesterday...
Lucky you! What model?
Nothing fancy, some generic 2560x1440 Acer IPS
I have a 4k OLED w/ HDR for gaming or whatever my main activity is, a second 2560x1440 for background videos, but I want a vertical monitor for terminal outputs and documents. Also just more space when I'm juggling a lot of windows
At 35 I got my third!
...27" curved screen with 144Hz and HDR...
Here in Sweden I'm experiencing this with both older and younger generations. I know no one my age that has a kid, but so many younger generations have at least one. My little sister has two, and most of her friends do too. It's weird.
that's wild. i wonder why the younger gen had that shift. how does that difference affect you? do you have kids? where do you feel left out?
The world is already overpopulated so
is it though? pretty sure that's yet another false narrative disseminated in service of the powers that be, but carried by well meaning liberals
I think so, yes.
A faultering population can be a factor in societal collapse depending on the manpower required to run the society's infrastructure.
What happens when there's not enough people to man the power station that runs the car plants that pays the workers to allow them to go buy a cup of coffee? It's all interconnected.
No it's overpopulated.
Here is a good video I watched just this morning that may change your perspective
Have you heard of neverending legacy? Its a (mostly unfinished) webgame by orteil42, creator of cookie clicker. Overpopulation is the real problem in the endgame, and its incredibly hard to cull the population without everyone dying of hunger.
Gonna need to push that space exploration budget instead of constantly going to war.
Then again, having more planets would mean a larger desire for power and greed would easily spark a space war.
Either way, humanity isn't the perfect race.

I suppose that makes sense. Support has gotten much stronger, in the last decade or two, for using multiple monitors.
Breeder rhetoric targeted at kids that grew up with Web 2.0.
Laughable, I think about MINUTES!
