    Mmmmmm…..


    It appears there might be no carpet…..in which case, it certainly can’t match the style of those 50’s drapes.

    It's longer from today to when Alexander the Great's wooly mammoth invented matches than from the invention of matches back to when a Stegosaurus won the World Series.

    I was curious as to who that was and searched with Google Lens and it zoomed in right on the p***y. Guess they have some kinks to work out of it still...

    T-Rex closer to an I-phone than a Stegosaurus.

    As a Gen X'er, we really don't care about your opinion.

    (just kidding... *hugs*... now go away.)

    On a side note, compared to Boomers, GenXers, or Millennials, their kids or grand-kids will be referred to as a much cooler name ... Alphas.




    The Generation Alpha ... comprise demographic groups born between 2010 and 2025. If you thought Gen Z marked a dramatic shift in how marketing works, brace yourself; more than 2.5 million Gen Alpha members are being born every week, and by 2025, they will number almost two billion. They will comprise the largest generation in world history, bar none.

    Keep in mind that the oldest Alpha will be celebrating their 20th birthday in 2030. From a marketing perspective, that means the time to start getting to know them is right now.

    What are they like?
    From the perspective of 2021, Gen Alpha can be tentatively described as ‘more Gen Z than Gen Z’. Like their predecessors, they are digital natives, but unlike Gen Z, they’re growing up free of even the residue of previous generations’ analogue ways.

    To Gen Alpha, virtual and reality are interchangeable – with the former usually being preferable to the latter. While Gen Z expects virtual experiences to be as engaging as ‘real’ experiences, with Alphas it may well be the opposite.

    Integrating offline and online for Alphas
    For marketing professionals, meeting Alphas’ expectations will require a subtle but important shift. Currently, marketers are focusing on bringing both online and offline audiences into shared experiences. To achieve this, events are becoming increasingly integrated, toward a near-future where online and offline content is equally engaging and valuable and both audiences can cross over seamlessly between them, interact with each other, and see each other’s interactions.

    In Gen Alpha’s case, the goalposts may be slightly moved; rather than developing online content that is ‘as good as’ the offline experience, marketers might find themselves challenged by the prospect of creating offline content that is convenient, instantly gratifying and imaginative enough to lure Alphas out of their virtual cocoons.

    My oldest is Gen Z. He prefers Zoomer, mostly because it's funny.

    I get that a lot. It's funny.

    Can confirm, my wife is a Xennial and is better than me.
