Millennials are very good when it comes to stuff like posting selfies at Coachella, but there are some skills they lack. So we went on the street this afternoon to ask young people if they can open a can of paint. It's not so hard but let's see if these passers-by can figure out how to do it.
Generation Useless: Millennials can't open a can of paint
Tell them it’s full of Tide Pods and I’ll net they open the thing with their teeth.
How many of their parents took the time to teach them?
net = bet. Stupid auto-correct.
Lack of basic analytical skills.
Go on youtube.
Search how to open can of paint.
Do that.
Fake.
Parents?
That was painful to watch.
Wow. I grew up in an age of do-it-yourself and build-it-yourself (think Heathkit). I get a lot of satisfaction knowing I can do all sorts of tasks from caulking a window to fixing a flat on a bike. It’s all just learned skills and none of it is beyond the average person’s capability. Of course if one was never exposed to these sorts of tasks, then it would all be as alien to them as reading Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Just damn.
How many of their parents know how?
That’s staged. I six year old would do it.
we’re doomed ...
Fortunately, last year I was able to augment my manual transmission vehicle collection with a new turbo-gas, AWD, m/t Station wagon to provide reliable long distance trip capability to the fleet.
It may be the last new vehicle I may need to live out my daze.
YMMV...
Out of fairness, I couldn’t open a can of paint either, until I could.
I couldn’t start a lawnmower, until I could.
I couldn’t change a car’s oil and filter, until I could.
Hell, I think it took me two tries to boil water.
Millenials didn’t just sprout from the ground like mushrooms - there’s a lot of bad parenting and public school indoctrination behind all of the toxic cocktail of ignorance, arrogance and incompetence which makes up some people of that age.
Attention whore clowns know they will get on TV/Youtube if they pretend to be stupid for Kimmel.
