A TikTok went viral calling for kids to shoot up their school and now half the schools in my county are closed tomorrow. Trying to find the TikTok now

Edit: It’s always very telling when I learn about something from colleagues instead of from online because apparently these memes having something to do with the new Spiderman movie

    Wonder if we're going to see a rise in black pilled zoomers. Generally from what I've seen Gen Z seem cool but there's troubling elements like this.

      I mean how could you not be fucked up growing up in this shit storm? A lot of my peer group has weird ticks about money just from the mental scars of living through the 08 recession. These kids were born in a post-9/11, post-recession world and are now currently going through their government willingly throwing them to the wolves during covid

          I’m like right on the line of questionable between zoomer and millennial, but I usually say zoomer because I don’t remember 9/11 or ever not having access to the internet. My Instagram bio currently is “My retirement plan is dying in the climate wars”

          I’m also currently taking the max amount in grad school loans they’ll let me and trying to live it up some while advanced society still exists.

      Yes but this is just an example of teenage stupidity and terrified adults. A modern day satanic panic. When the Zoomers really hit the black pill its going to be scary and we won't warn any of you about it coming.

        Early 30s gang rise up, but not too quickly, id appreciate it if you'd let me take my time getting up for something.

        Cutoff is somewhere vaguely between 1996 and 2001. Within that range I feel like which you fit more with depends on some cultural factors and how they affected you specifically. Like, “Do you remember 9/11?” and “Do you remember a time before the internet?” If your answers to those are both no (like me), you’re probably a zoomer. If the answer is yes, you’re probably a millennial.

          If you remember getting kicked off the internet because someone called your house you might be a millennial

            True, another thing I don’t remember. We had broadband since as long as I can remember. I remember the internet being slow and shitty, but it never had anything to do with the phone.
