    I’ve had almost exactly this conversation with my father.

    Also, is that baby Shaggy?

      Baby Shaggy and the old guy from Up.

        Wicked cross-over indeed. Or it could be that Shaggy had a talk with one of the old dudes under the mask and found out that he was onery because he’s sacks were backed up.

    This meme no longer makes sense, as now the Millennial would be teaching the Gen Alpha how to use a computer.

      I nearly walked away from a co-op once when he couldn’t figure out how to navigate a windows file explorer directory to the file path I’d sent him, after a couple minutes of it I’d nearly had enough

      it’s sorted alphabetically… L is near the middle … no you’re in the Ts now…no, not that folder, go back… just once, not twice… open the Word document, not the PowerPoint…

    This meme makes sense if you’re in the 90’s

    It’s basically community service to point elderly men away from CP

      That your first thought about older people is that…

      Deranged. Hint of projection as well, this meme had nothing to do with the topic you brought up 😬🤢.

      I love that you're getting down voted for shitposting in a shitposting community, it really shows how Lemmy is growing as a community.

    Decades ago I ran a “house doctor” service and I marketed primarily to seniors, because they had the money, and were least likely to want to crawl under the desk and start unhooking things, etc. I got so busy at one point I had to stop answering the phone.

    Anyways, I remember this one guy that just needed me to get his printer working, so he could print bikini pictures from the Internet. Not porn. Not anything hardcore or even more lurid than that. Bikini pictures only.

    I could not convey to him that with the Internet, you have infinite bikini pictures and printing wasn’t strictly necessary. I guess he wanted to beat off to paper? I didn’t inquire too far, just pay me so I can leave lol

      Did he have a laptop? If not, he wanted to beat off in bed.

        Yes, and he had all the wireless doodads, everything. Keep in mind this was back in the day when Wi-Fi at home was relatively rare.

        I think he was just a complete kook. I mean it’s hard to describe all the details… But the way he kept his home, the way he dressed and kept himself. His insane comb over where the hair on one side of his head was like 4 ft long and he turned it into like this turban type deal. I think he was just low-key bonkers.

    Later that afternoon grandpa filled the house with balloons so he could get some privacy.

    The real community service is teaching them how to go to correct sources and hide their tracks. Teaching about the least malware riddled streaming sites, deleting history, not saving bookmarks to the main bookmarks tab bar on a shared computer, etc etc.

        I get it from Lemmy because every fucking website now has porn. And incredibly, poeple still actually pay for it.
