Older People Reveal The Questions They Need Teenagers To Answer

Explain a few things to me Sunny...

It's a generational thing. That's the stock answer we all give when people of different ages don't understand one another. High Schoolers versus Nursing Homers... that's a real thing. So much has changed and advanced over the last sixty or seventy years. And for some it's changed in such a rapid pace it's difficult to keep up or keep 'hip' when trying to understand a new generation. It's not that people don't want to relate but often it seems nobody to want to take a first step in trying. So let's.


Redditor u/Doi_Mi_Hoi wanted to elders of Reddit to reach out asking... Older people of Reddit, what's a question you want teenagers to answer?

The dinosaurs roam for Yeet...

I read about "kobe" and "yeet" and I'm even more confused than I was before.

~Your local dinosaur.

Kobe Bryant is an American basketball player. Saying his name channels his energy through you and momentarily makes you more accurate. KOBE

Yeet is a warcry of our people (specifically young people) and using it causes every muscle in your body to be involved in the throwing action. YEET

Kobe for accuracy, yeet for power. They are mutually exclusive, you can't yell "KOBE YEET" and have an accurate, powerful throw. The most recent command before the object leaves your hand it the one that takes effect.

Yeet also has non-practical uses. It is a catchall term for standard responses, particularly when yes is the expected response.

If someone says "are we going to see Avengers 4 right now" the default answer is yes, so "yeet" suffices as a response to the question.

Hope I helped <3

What's the biggest thing you think we don't understand about you?

NiceFormBro

There are people who seem to forget that we aren't adults yet. We aren't as mature as you, and we haven't had the same amount - or type - of life experiences you have.

I'm not saying we should be given a pass to act immature all the time. But it seems we're expected to never make a mistake ever, and never get upset over anything ever, and can never do anything to just relax and enjoy ourselves because now we're "too old for that." I swear some adults think that the moment you hit thirteen or so, you're meant to act just like someone who's like forty years old. We are still on the path to that - more than twenty years away from it, in fact. Try encouraging us towards it, rather than telling that we suddenly can't have frickin' feelings just because our age now ends in -teen. Just... I wish more adults would understand that we are still in the process of maturing and growing up. There isn't a switch that flicks one day from child to adult, and if there was it definitely wouldn't do so when we're thirteen.

Do you plan to go into technical field to support your incoming robot overlords, or are you going to fight for the resistance?

Let's talk About Sex Baby... 

Are you guys learning anything about sex that's accurate? I went to a private school so my experience was very different.

ChubbyNaners

Not from school, unfortunately, but everything i have felt i have needed to know about sex has been answered with a quick google search. adults tend to think that what we're seeing is porn, but the internet is actually full of really valuable resources related to sex ed & educators are good at getting their resources in front of us.

inaccurate information doesn't spread among teenagers like it used to. yes, most of the information we get about sex comes from our peers, but it is easier than ever to correct misinformation.

What happened in your life when you were "coming of age?"

Like we had baseball games and adventures in the woods with our friends on our bikes.

NiceFormBro

Literally 3 days ago I went with my friends to abandoned part of the town to explore old buildings and try to climb on the roof. Does it count?

ApricotNihilism

Why not say darn?

What's up with saying 'oof' all the time?

Rycecube

It's like when someone tells you how they lost a wallet with $500 dollars in it and you say 'Ouch.'

ThetamingoftheMew

What's this new trend of just having 6 Instagram pictures and then deleting old ones when you add a new one to keep the number to 6?

Threads User's Epic Rant Ripping MAGA Fans Who Now Claim They 'Always Had Doubts' About Trump Has The Internet Applauding

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.

Sean Duffy Ripped After Encouraging Americans To Take 'Road Trips' As Gas Prices Continue To Soar

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was called out after he encouraged Americans to take "road trips" as gas prices continue to rise as a result of President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Republicans have faced pressure from constituents nationwide to address the rising cost of living, but Americans are feeling pain at the pump now that the Iran war, which the Trump administration kicked off in late February, has prompted a spike in gas prices.
