People still fall for the "generational" bait?

The American generational names only exist because the person who gets to name the new name get a ton of cash to spread the definition, even though those definitions are completely arbitrary.

That looks like an edited picture of a human to me.

When the fuck do we get to retire from the "young and stupid" category?

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.

For some reason I feel like these rules were written by a gen x but iDK why

You totally stole this explanation from Tik Tok, zoomer. I bet you don't even know how to launch Netscape from command line. /S

Mhhh... yes, we millenials who are approaching or are already in our 40s... what's all that red eye stuff about?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Is Supernatural still shooting more seasons?

Boomer forgot how millennials are old enough to have had to have film developed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Pissed the hell out of my boomer photography enthusiast dad. Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to open the camera door?! You can't see the picture yet!"

Red eyes also happen on digital photos.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well you gotta stop taking photos of me just after I've smoked a fat joint, man!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

I'm gen z and I still remember that time.
