Why we debated whether a a scotch egg was a substantial meal?

What other weird things are we going to have to explain to them that they wouldn't be able to understand?

"Why people can't live and let live"

Unfortunately, I think as long as humans exist, that will always be a problem

Keys! I cannot believe we’re still using cumbersome keys! Surely a barcode imprint useable across all our devices, implanted in a digit and swiped would be easier?! Same with PINS

My son asked me at the weekend if we played Minecraft or Roblox when we were younger - he sat open mouthed as I explained that the internet didn’t exist, that mobile phones didn’t exist and we had dial up internet (when late 20’s) so had to choose between the internet or phone

His little mind was blown!

Had a similar conversation with my 8yr old recently after he was complaining about the internet being slow for a few minutes!

That we had to use a landline phone to call our friends and risk a parent answering, then running the absolute gauntlet of trying to remember who’d said what to who about who was where the night before and not dropping anyone in the shit

Why the Cornish think they have a monopoly on pasties, and their odd obsession with jam or cream first.

That we still ate meat in the 21st century, even though we realise that animals are truly sentient and the environmental damage it does.

And no I’m not a vegetarian, but I am a hypocrite.

The Town by The Cross

Never mind the next generation! Explain to me THIS..............

Why in an age when food comes to my door in minutes, a door senses who I am and lets me in , a car can drive me to a destination without a driver, my washing machine senses the weight and adjusts the water level, I can book tickets online and be in Canada in a few hours, a surgeon can cyborg me up if i'm injured and robots take my calls , build cars and make themselves available for sex ........

do I have to sit with my tongue tight in the corner of my mouth, staring at a black tv screen with the teeniest little keyboard in the world using a hand held device to navigate painstakingly slowly and type in each individual letter to spell the words of a programme AND put in the fucking spaces!!!!

"Why we let society be influenced so much by people spouting toxicity and anti establishment agenda's."

Don't get me wrong it's good to question the establishment and ensure fairness and honesty but the way things are going at the moment it's just all about hatred and creating Division's in society.

How do we explain to our grandchildren or great grandchildren why we let a minority of loud toxic people dictate so much to the majority of honest hard working law abiding people.

This goes the same for those in power who've forgotten that they have been elected to serve the people and not themselves.

That people’s farts used to stink!

Caveat : there is an assumption here that the next major scientific breakthrough is a medical implant that renders farts odourless, and that this device is on the husk of being invented and dispensed globally. Surely this is THE priority for humanity right now

Reminds me of a joke in "The Perishers" cartoon strip.

"I can't stand hypocrites but in my case I'll make an exception".
