Retarded boomer "technological" terms

"boomer"

content manager system

by all means fuck boomers, but I don't feel like most of the terms in this thread are exclusive to or even derive from them

>cant mention Jow Forums without a poltard spawning out of nowhere
Like pottery

Use to work at walmart in electronics. Most customers called sd cards sim cards. Also calling other stuff by the wrong name.

I need a sim card to add storage to my phone/camera/tablet.
Had a middle aged women that needed a "mini usb card" for her 3d printer. Told her it's a microsd card. Then she said "yes, a mini usb card". I hope that herr 3d printer burned her house down.
I need a zip drive. Sir they don't make zip drives any more. Customer fights with me and describes it. Oh, a flash drive. It's a zip drive and I'm going to keep calling it a zip drive.
Had a customer blow up on me because I told him he needed a lightning cable. He got bent out of shape because he didn't understand what I was saying. So I showed him and said this is a lightning cable. Then he started to yell out "stop using terms that I don't understand.

At this point I'll honestly believe it's paid shills trying to saturate the word boomer. Just from how frequently and nonsensical it has been occurring.

>stop using terms I don't understand
this gave me all sorts of flashbacks to my childhood
>mom, looks like you'll have to order an Ethernet cable off of ebay or something
>cue 5 minutes of her yelling at me for "getting all technical on her" and how I'm "such a know it all"
>just plainly say "okay, the internet cable. just go on amazon and search "internet cable" and order it please" (no sarcasm, no attitude)
>STOP BEING CONDESCENDING (cue 5 minutes about how i need to respect her as a parent)
or when she tried her damnedest to make it seem like I knew nothing about technology
>mom i fixed your mp3 player
>looks at me with smug shit eating grin
>"actually, honey, it's an ipod, and if you knew anything about technology you'd know that. not as smart as you think, huh?"
>mom, it's not even made by Apple
>"does it matter? jeez user, always have to be so specific about stuff. you don't always have to be right, you know"
it's funny because i really didn't care when I was wrong and would just say "my bad" and look up the solution or try something else, but when she was wrong she would backpedal at light speed to try to make it seem like everyone else was wrong and then sometimes throw a shitfit about it
were anyone elses moms like this?

Christ this. It isn't 2007 anymore. It's just a phone. They're all just phones. There isn't a fucking thing that's smart about them anymore.

Holy shit your mom's a bitch
As a parent I'm sorry you had to deal with that

hating boomers brings us together. left, right, we all know they ruined everything, even if we disagree on the particulars.

>mentioning pol in every thread totally means I hate pol

And then millennials copy and paste a good thing into oblivion.

lol that makes me shudder to this day

How long will the boomer wars last?

I used to work in a similar store selling video games, movies, 'electronics', etc. Half of my job was running the photo printers. Orders were sent from these shitty windows touch screen thin clients through an application that holds your hand during the entire placement process. You could plug in your removable media and the application would automatically display any supported image formats in a 4x3 grid separated by pages.
Now tell me why the fuck you would decide to bring your phone with all of your nudes on it, plug it into one of these giant touch screen displays made for toddlers, and get surprised when the entire store sees you in a jpeg fully nude with a hairbrush in your ass?
We would also get loads of dirty looking guys in their 40s with 50+ pictures of their wives getting pissed on or worse. They would haul ass through the front doors once they realized that a kid two aisles away just saw the mother of this guy's child getting a moneyshot in a night club bathroom.
People would also blame you for suggesting they buy the lightning cable for their iPhone because it was $10 more expensive (and a different manufacturer) than the micro USB type A cable, and buy that instead, only to return it the next day because "the guy at the counter back there suggested it even though it doesn't fit!"
Fuck these jobs.

Holy shit, that sounds both hilarious and horrifying as fuck. These kind of stories remind me why I'm ok with being the paranoid fuck I am of anyone going anywhere close to any of my devices, even when many of those times I don't have anything compromising there.

>you posted this, thus perpetuating it

suck on my fat Jow Forums

>boomers using techical terms at all

>speech and human interaction

idk but it's fucking annoying, also nobody knows what a boomer is anymore. people confuse gen x with boomers for some reason, i.e. gen y complaining about their boomer parents

my guess is that Jow Forums is full of imbeciles

Every week.

Jow Forums have different definitions for Boomer than say Jow Forums or /b/.
I'd argue it's more of a problem of boomers not having a set definition

boomer totally has a set definition, the "baby boom" happened at the end of WW2. add 25 years to that since that's the average age at which people have children afaik and the boomer age ranges from 1945-1970

>That 20 year old boomer who thinks 'boomer' is some new term

It's just interesting from a history perspective that the most evil time in the US's history is when boomers were the voting public.

30 year old boomer and brainlet wojaks in general make me laugh my fucking ass off and I don't care

i think it’s an /o/ meme that started with /o/tists noticing BOOMERS selling rusted out shitty corvettes “no lowballers”

Yes, that's the literal definition, but we don't live in the age where definitions are set in stone.
See, literally in the dictionary.

give me a reason why the meaning should change. you can't just say the sky is no longer blue because lol life isn't black and white

no. Jow Forums is normalfag central. even /b/ nowadays still has guro.

Longtime /o/ lurker, can confirm that the first time I saw “boomer” used in a meme context was around 2011 in the “no lowballers” piece of shit rust bucket 70s muscle car Craigslist ad threads.

We’re sorry for what we’ve foisted on the rest of you.

I know this feel, user. At least my mom knows she's tech illiterate. She'd never be dumb enough to pull the mp3/ipod shit. "Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt"

I'm not arguing against it, I believe in fact that definitions should be set in stone, but for fucks sake man, the definition of literally in the dictionary now includes "to mean not in a literal sense"

til one of us is dead

I know this feel all to well user. My mother was the exact same way about everything.

Cry me a river.

Ahhahaaaha

The whole fucking joke about the boomer meme is that it's missing the original definition

women are petty and disgusting creatures that always need to appear right and perfect, nothing matters except immediate petty gratification

It's ok dude. Jow Forumstards have adopted it and raised it as their own.

Also saved

is this where we come up with redundant names for technological things in order to justify our jobs to the marketing fags so that we somehow sound kewl and hip and 'progressive' in 2018?

i heard some old dude's talking at my work the other day and one said "have you heard of 'in app purchases?'"

It's a stale old meme the CIA forced about four months ago after a few threads hit too close to home. So now every 100% verifiable conspiracy is just boomerposting.

What is wrong with calling storage space, memory? You clearly aren't refering to random access memory.
