Generation Alpha (And what of it?)

[BouncyCactus]

to watch those things again

So you DID watched it once?

Ah, the internet was a different place back then, huh?

 

[Nolff]

Yikes don't remind me the beheading videos on that site even now am not that unhinged to watch those things again

Wait, what beheading?

They'll be fine, if not a little cringe to us, as we are to the previous generation. I mean, most of the millennial and early GenZ grew up on the un-moderated and wildest that was the internet, watching beheading on LiveLeak, and sailing the high sea through more porn than I care to admit for a good 20 min of Bleach and Fairy Tales. And we are not all f up, are we?

I think it all came down to parenting, with the new generation of parents trying a new wave of parenting, and with the explosive ease of access to the internet. One of my nieces preferred paper books to iPads, and it was all thanks to my cousin knowing how to control their use of technology.

I'm on you.

Yes, we're all doomed. It will only get worse from here. The parents are gonna get even more mellowed out, and the kids are gonna get even brattier ?

Now here me out, this isn't me being the old Doomer I actually am, this isn't a prophecy, this is just an observation. Every following Gen we got more instantaneous gratification for less work. The 80s and some 90s kids will remember the internet taking hours, not seconds to download whatever.

Nowadays everything is all about instantaneous consumption. We want it all, and we want it yesterday, at the latest!

Debatable answer but, I'll take it anyways.

Especially those cartel videos yikes

Wait, what beheading?

Bruh,those graphics disturbing grimy videos of human torture...yeah

 

[RepresentingCaution]

But... Don't the Youtube Kids get more cringe than the NetffIix?

Yes. That's why I manually approve all content.

 

[RepresentingDesire]

Is he a part of the doomed generation?

Asia has its own reasons for a doomed generation.

What about you guys' experiences?

I am basically a tv child.
The biggest difference between me and gen alpha is that I watched documentaries as a child, I would never want it any other way because I loved seeing animals and their brutal actions.

 

[Nolff]

Ahh... Alr.

So what do you let your kids watch? Is it cocomelon or something more educational?

Well, yes. But the spread is a little similar to what the americans felt in my country.

I bet you helped the raccoons like this.

What are you tweaking on? Yapping that the gooners are cooked is major CAP. It's not GG yet, so ditch those cringe worries. The little sigmas aren't merely edging their chungus, they are on a brainmaxxing grindset, for their future is naught but Ws. Redpilled baby gronks understood the assignment all along. You can hardly fault them for t-posing the teachers while they should be yeeted. The beta simp NPCs are to be blamed for finessing schools into cringe skibidi backrooms, but even that isn't bussing enough to cook deez nuts fr

The language of god... I can't seem to discern most of it.

Patience is a virtue, acknowledge that issues are thousand.
Let them have fun but be kind when giving them a lesson.
Teach them what is true and what is wrong over time.
It is in their hands to decide later down the road.
Be it the leader of a nation or someone that is lost yet decided to turn around.

Although there is an argument to be made by modern internet content and lack of parental guidance destroying children's brains and their attention spans, this post reads less like that and more like "the newer generation is worst than us."

Here's the low down, we won't really know the effects on their brains until they start getting close to adult age. Now, don't take this me as saying parent's shouldn't monitor children internet habits and so forth. Parents definitely should, and I do fall into the camp that kids shouldn't have access to the internet at all, at least until 16, at least. If I ever do have kids, I'm giving them a phone with hard parental locks and they won't even know what YouTube Kids is from me.

Right now, the kids screaming skibbidi or whatever are the same as most of us Gen Z screaming about Undertale and Megalovania and Florida and all that crap.

Overall: We cannot truly know what's going to happen to Gen Alpha until they've grown and entered the work force. Then we might be able to have a debate on this stuff.

The end is nigh. So let's all put on brown paper bags and lie on the floor.

Just one kid. Numberblocks, Alphablocks, Magic School Bus, Ada Twist Scientist, Preschool Prep Company, Sesame Street, Vooks, SciShow Kids, Homeschool Pop

Well no, they commit crimes on their own.

That's my point.

I think I didn't sum it up quiet enough.

Well that's just wrong, what we witness and do in our childhood will become often essential parts of us, that's not true for everything but you shouldn't get a child if circumstances prevent you from caring about it.

I don't get it.
Whatever oppurtunitities they like will be given in a correct manner.
Be it them playing in the mud getting dirty, bathing under the rain, eating insect.
Cheer as they may, they will learn their lesson of life and death.
Not let them rot to their demise, locking in a cage nor even shouting at them.
End.

The next generation is just about as doomed as the the one that came before it, so mind you turning into a grouch is just the natural state of life.

The previous generation will always think they are smarter than the next, and the next generation will always think they are wiser than a previous.

The best thing we can do is try to foster respect for the innovation of the newer generation and the wisdom of the previous.

In order to abolish the generational warfare created by the Boomers who, ironically enough, are resting on the laurels of their parents success.

I'm not worried, I know that the weakness of each generation is increasing, and the chaos is gonna force a snapping back. We sit at the precipice of a true Dark Age, where society will slide backwards into a pseudo-feudalist world, with the knights being armed with guns. Blood will run freely and from the chaos, a new bastion of civilization will rise, and continue the blood soaked cycle until Judgement Day, or the sun burns out. Whichever comes first.
