>Well, kids, I promised you a little treat in lieu of dinner and here it is.
The oldest Simpson episodes feel so weird. It's like a window into a completely different era.
>>150998905It's weird just how recent that era was too. It's almost like the modern world just didn't truly exist until the early 90s and we're still jist loving in the shadow of that period.
>>150998948It's like the fall of the Soviet Union truly was the end of history.
>>150998971Some people with too much fucking hubris always think they are at the end of history.Then technology advances improving everyone's else's lives and they are left behind while dragging Innocent people down with them if allowed to do so.
>>150998905t. zoomer
>>150999135So? What's wrong with being a zoomer?
>>150998905The 80s?
>>150999113thanks ChatGPT
>>150999510Nah, I could sense a heartbeat behind that post.
>>150998905It was a different era.
>>150999155Kids don't go outside anymore, so I gotta find a place to yell at you besides my front lawn
>>150998905dumb zoomie
>>150998971Yeah absolutely nothing has happened or changed since then.
>>150998894lol
>>150998894
>>150998971Oh please 9/11 was a far more pivotal change in world politics than that shithole going under.
>>151004314Huh.
>>150999155You're a generation below me and make me feel old.
WE WANT BARNY
>>151001744baby boomers are the only ones going outside anymore
>>150998971Fuck off Francis, Im glad your still allive just to see your Boomer pseudo religion go up in flames
>>151005152Who's Francis?
>>151004895Anon, that -13% dip is mostly Gen X. The absolute youngest Baby Boomers were 60 in 2024.
>>150999113>improving everyone's else's lives
>>151005181Francis Fukuyama is the guy who wrote "End of History" which was basically the entire basis for the boomer mindset making them go sell their house and donate it to some scam and buy a new boat before ever giving anything to their offspring. Said the Boomers won history, notherg ever will fucking happen in human history anymore except technological progress.Dude wrote "No countries that each have a McDonalds will ever go to War with each other" and that became policy
>>151005236Yeah the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union basically put the West into a state of almost psychotic euphoria. We legitimately thought that we just won all the ideological struggles forever and the last few dictatorial holdouts like China and North Korea would just fold in on themselves as the inherent superiority of the democratic system proved too great for them to stand against. People let the end of the Cold War go way the fuck too much to their heads and so the West got complicit and just allowed the current situation to unfold.
>>1510043149/11 was just blowback from the US being imperially unopposed for 10 years and going hog wild. Still just a ripple of the far more important end of the Soviet Union.
>>151005263Well, we did. Nobody takes communism seriously anymore, arguably it stopped being taken seriously by the 60s.
>>151005403Eh I wouldn't go that far. The West really stalled out in the 70s and there was a belief that the Soviets were going to overtake America as the world's largest economy. Then the 80s happened and LOL.

>>150999155On paper nothingOn reality you missed out on so much its insane, you might as well be a dystopian drama character
>>150998894I remember this ep and it was almost exactly like a lot of real stuff from post USSR kids camp around 1993. Some things truly are the same around the world.
>>150998905Probably because it WAS. "The past is a different country," after all.
>>150998905America had an extremely hardcore cultural shift between 1989 to 1991, those first few seasons basically did exist in another era. The only other period where the culture shifted that fast and hard was probably 1966 - 1969.
>>151006473the show by the Mirkin era was a lot more cynical and focused on big concepts rather than the kind of Full House like sitcom sap of Season 2.
>>150999391The only Simpsons season from the 80s was season one in 1989
>>150998894sneed lol
>>150998894How funny.
>>15100489515 - 24 being grouped up seems kind of skewed. how often really are like 15-18 year olds really hosting shit? meanwhile 18-21 would be having college parties, and 21-25 would be its own metric of post-college, legal drinking age people. But high schoolers would absolutely skew this graph towards "nobody does this anymore"
>>150999510>Sees the most raw-ass human line possible and declares it must be ai generated because I'm too boomerized to understand anything else
>>151010003Do they?
