I'm a millennial and my first camera used film cassettes similar to these ones.

It wasn't all Orange Julius and great music.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah yeah the satanic panic.

Oh god the red eye in photographs...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Just happy to see a supernatural based meme 🥹

The dark times, before Buffy came along and saved the world.

Now that I think of it, was Buffy her actual name or was it short for something?

Buffort the third

Millennial? No we don't we were there the whole time...

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is this from Being Human? That's Bishop, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s from the TV show Supernatural.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oooooh right, I should finally watch that. He was great as a vampire in BH, so I just assumed it was from there with those eyes..

[–] [email protected] 69 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Mate I'm a millennial and I had my photos developed at the chemists. You're thinking of gen z.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You're thinking of young gen z. I am gen z and as a kid I also had some of my photos developed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I believe they are name gen alpha or some other greek letter.

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

Generation Omega.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Gen alpha surely. But also the younger gen z I would think. Afaik gen z starts around the end of the 90s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Millennials are between 29 and 44. They are turning into the old generation.

This meme feels like it is 10 or more years old.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

But then they would have been between 19 and 34.

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

I thought the demon chasing the Winchesters had yellow eyes

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why can’t pride say teenagers

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

I think they mean GenZ but this meme looks pretty old so it was probably actuate when it was posted originally.

I'm a Millenial, grew up with a polaroid. This meme is just wrong.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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

We're still feeling the aftereffects even now...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This is honestly the appropriate response

Although it was probably made by GenX

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

After holiday dinners, my grandpa would bust out the faux-leather bound Polaroid, mount it to a tripod and tell us all to stop moving, "It's not a movie camera!" Then he'd be amazed it was almost ready 5 seconds later. Every single time.

I remember when a flash was essentially an exploding bulb. Before me, they made a pop sound. In the 70s, there were cubes that rotated so you'd get multiple uses, IIRC. The real pros later had strobes but also, just bouncing the light off the ceiling and such cut down on the red eye which was really about light shooting directly into the eyes. That direct light also created harsh shadows and washed out features.
