Inspired by a post I saw on AskReddit (which has now been removed). What is something you believe is growing because of young people?

    That does sound extreme, but no more insane than older people who can’t complete basic tasks in a word professor application.

        It’s not that they “can’t count to the teens”. The wording used in the OP was that they keep “losing track”. That’s very different and could suggest some kind of visual processing or attention issue rather than not understanding basic numeracy. Those kinds of issues are common intellectual disabilities that people can still succeed with if they find the right mechanisms to allow them to do the same tasks as other people.

        I was born just before the death of the floppy disk and the number of people I’ve met who can say “I bet you don’t know what’s that symbol is based on” while also not knowing it saves your work is the reason I’m in mental health instead of tech.

        Stupid has nothing to do with age.
