Have you heard about the latest challenges going on the internet? There is the cereal challenge where one person lays on their back with their mouth open so that another person can use it as a cereal bowl to eat from. Then there is the one where you partially plug in a phone charger to an outlet and put a penny between the outlet and charger to cause an electrical spark. What the crap? The sad thing is that there are actually people stupid enough to do this, got to be the dumbest generation to have ever existed, no wonder society has gone to crap.

Too many safety labels have overridden natural selection.

When you let iPads, electronics and video games babysit your kids don't be surprised when they aren't productive, contributing members of society. Kids today are no different than any other time in history. They are a product of their raising.

Ding, ding, ding!!!! We have a winner!

Idiocracy

Technology has produced some real IDOTS.
How many teenagers you know can sharpen a knife?

Eh, it’s just replaced dumb stuff teenagers and kids did in the past. This generation gets its kicks from social media and viral videos instead of jumping off of rocks into shallow pools of water, or shooting BB’s at each other, or skate boarding behind a four wheeler like the pre-internet generations did.... there’s just more video proof of said stupidity than there used to be.

Everyone "says" this, then secretly passes their kid the iPad when they get in the car after school. They use it till bedtime and then repeat.

Bingo. Thanks for saying it, because I usually have to. The biggest problem this generation faces is they got their raising (or lack of) from our generation. My generation was too busy building careers and let others (school systems and peers) raise our kids. Now they'raising their kids the way they saw their generation being raised. It's a downward spiral.

Examples: Go out to eat and see how many 50+ year olds have their nose buried in a phone. As far as eating cereal out of a mouth, I've seen guys my age let their dogs drink mild out of their mouth. I even saw a guy let his dog do that on Carson one night and that had to be 20 years ago. And I'd bet a pocket full of money that less than 20% of 50+ year old men can sharpen a knife. And even fewer with a whetstone. Don't get me wrong, this generation has their problems. But a lot of them started with us.

But it’s a lot easier to blame the generation that follows us.

No. Not everyone.

A large percentage of this generation is terrible in almost every way, and it is the fault of my generation for the way we raised them.

I know very few adults who can sharpen a knife.

Make that too many lawyers.

Are JB20 and Hevishot millenials? Just sayin !

RMART I whole hearted agree. They get to shut down law schools for ten years till some thin out!

40 or 50 yrs ago, a guy got rich selling "Pet Rocks".....people have always been stupid, social media has just made it more obvious

Ya boomer don't forget james

A man leads their home or doesn't.

some kids are just bored. If you aren't having things to occupy your time you think up stupid stuff. Teenage sports participation and employment are way down.
