This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

It seems counter intuitive but I don’t think Gen Z is as good with technology as most people assume they are.

I think they just believe everything they see on YouTube and TikTok. Those algorithms just feed people what they want to see and don’t challenge anyone.

Who thinks they're good with technology? They've never had technology that requires any more knowledge than how to swipe. They're shit with technology.

Millennials, it's the only thing we're good at, we suck at everything else...

Also stigma about depression, no stigma when you're the majority.

Do you use your sleeve? I don’t understand.

Apparently millennials prefer paper towels over napkins and it's affecting the napkin industry.

"tissues" vs "kitchen rolls" for anyone wondering what a paper towel is compared to a napkin.

I gotta say, I always found tissues just sub-par for the job. A kitchen roll (towel? sleeve? paper?) you just need to fold it once and it will hold against a storm

You could literally search "millennials killed napkins" and get your answer

I'm not, tho. 😎

Have a discussion with me about napkins. This is a social website.

Ok, the first article says "Millennials killed the paper napkin industry" then says they're using paper towels instead

WTF is the difference between a paper napkin and a paper towel? I thought they were the same thing? πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Lol apparently so did millenials ;)

It's a different grade of paper, usually flat and without the ridges that make paper towels absorbant (or at least the "look I'm absorbant" marketing signifier). Very very cheap napkins and paper towels are mostly indistinguishable.
