Boomers gonna boom

Yeah but he’s an actual Boomer.

Also, i think my “InstaSnap” sounds more like a real app than “FacebookTime”.

FacebookTime could just be how much time you allot to Facebook on a given day or week.

“I usually have about five hours of Facebook time per week.”

In his brain he's mashed up 'facebook' and 'facetime'. similar to how your boomer brain is mashing up Instagram and Snapchat because boomer

… and you’re what? GenZ? or even worse a Millennial?

There’s no way you’re GenX because if you were you’d realize your attempts to be funny at my expense just strike me as complimentary.

I did eventually give in and join Facebook. That's my limit.

I do have a Twitter account, but I have only logged into it twice in 10 years.

I've never had a Snapdragon, Tiktok, or Instabang account.

Alot of western gov'ts are starting to ban, or at least warn people against downloading and using Tiktok... it's for girls anyway.

Snapchat is for young adults to share nude photos, so it's probably better for you steer clear (and sorry Jim, but yes that is what your kids are doing)

Instagram is owned by facebook, and is pretty much useless for men unless you have a specific hobby/business that requires alot of visual representation.

Discord,Telegram and reddit are where the real action is nowadays for grown men.

Because it's Chinese-owned and they have a beef with China, not because they have any legitimate concerns about it.
