        Better than being called a boomer or a boomer I suppose, we’d still roll out eyes at them regardless.

        Millennials are starting to get a bit old to have futire kids. Not impossible obviously, but wouldn’t that apply more to zoomers?

            I’m not talking about menopause, but about the scenario in the meme. Some millennials already had children five years ago, so what age target are we talking about when we say “when I was your age”?

            I’m and old millennial but even some of my younger friends already have teenagers that lived through the pandemic.

              I’m 32 and having a kid soon, so not sure where you see the problem? Sure some of them had kids very early, but that doesn’t change the fact many didn’t.

      The trick with being a shut-in is that its only really practical when other people still have to go out and do things on your behalf.

      As soon as you can’t get DoorDash or you A/C fails or the office fires you for clinging to “Work From Home” too long, shit gets real really quickly.

    not sure people will want to go out that much, that oxygen flask is kind of heavy, the mask is annoying and then there’s the heat…

    The wind is strong enough to mitigate the radioactives dust but not enough to thorn the suit

    The local militia was bombed and we are not expecting raids for a few days

    There is a less contaminated water source a few miles north and I want to check the community there

    WHEN I WAS YUR AGE I WAS STAYIN AT HOME

    I love you mom but I should have sold you to the slave trader

      I suppose this makes sense if we all lived in Fallout 1.

      Which, by the way, I hope to Holy hell nobody ever, ever, ever has to live in Fallout 1.

    I know its a meme, but, don’t you still technically have to go outside? I mean, your packages aren’t gonna go inside your house because most delivery people arent gonna actually step inside your house so you still need to touch the outside for the few seconds to grab your things.

            But also, consider: Sometimes they leave the package like a few steps from your door and you would have to step foot onto the ground outside to retrieve it, especially if its a heavy item or if there’s a few steps of stairs and you can’t just pull a broom stick to flick it closer to your house.

            So conclusion, ths score is:

            Outside – 1 ; You – 0

            Outside always wins xD

    When I finally had job and money to go out and finally enjoy my life, pandemic happened. But I had saved even MORE money because I stayed home with my parents during those times. However, I’m now too old to go out lol.
