Lies. Millennials don’t have mortgages because they can’t afford homes.

Username only checks out under a very sarcastic lens

BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Can confirm, username is satirical.

I thought as much, but I can never be sure on Lemmy.

There's some crazy bastards out here in the wild west of the world wide web.

I managed to save up with my wife by living with my parents. We bought a house in foreclosure from the 2008 crash. Otherwise we never would've been able to do it.

Whirling_Ashandarei@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Millennial home owner, but my house is tiny and shitty. Oh and I prob would've paid a lot more without a familial connection (no, not my parents and I still paid over 300k yay).

Are millennials familiar with VHS?

Hasherm0n@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Yes. At least older ones. My family got our first DVD player when I was in highschool.

SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one · 10 pts · 1y

I do, and none of those apply. So far.

I have a beautiful head of hair, you sexist bastard.

Reygle@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y

A Mortgage? They must think we're idiots.

How's your back pain?

brap@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Not great haha

ThePyroPython@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Oi! I'm 29 and definitely don't have a mortgage. No don't look at my hairline, it'll stay that way forever and not receed a millimetre further!

ekky@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Me to my hairline: Stop right there, criminal scum!

myster0n@feddit.nl · 3 pts · 1y

I was so happy my hairline didn't recede. Until I found that bald patch on the back of my head!

I'm mid twenties, I know what it is. What do I win?

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (4 replies)

A kiss from me. Another person in their mid 20s

TeddE@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Hot dang! From the Wizard Pope themselves! #jealous

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

A magical smooch that heals all ailments.

TeddE@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Shall I bring the amyl nitrates for after the kiss?

daggermoon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

I accept

Ha, I'm still in my thirties, still have hair and my mortgage has been paid off

Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Lies! No one can afford anything ever!

LordWiggle@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I'm 38, still have hair and no mortgage (I'm renting, no money for a house). I do have 3 cats, am divorced and can't work anymore after getting PTSD in the navy. I survived several financial recessions / crisis, several middle Eastern wars, covid, I saw 9/11 and several other terrorist attacks in Europe happen, I'm seeing how a Jewish nation has turned into full scale nazis, and am now watching how World War 3 is being initiated by the generation who were taught by their parents they would have to do everything in their power to prevent anything like World War 2 happen ever again.

I... Don't have a mortgage...

djehuti@programming.dev · 6 pts · 1y

Haha, got ya! I know what it is, and I'm in my fifties!

Zomg@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (3 replies)

VCR cleaner is also used for some butt stuff, the more you know.

Mickey7@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

You mean that little bottle of cleaning solution. Like some would shove it up their ass?

Zomg@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

No, but it's common for Poppers to be labeled as "VCR Cleaner". Poppers if you didn't know can cause your sphincter muscle to relax, making insertion easier.

ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

If the cleaning liquid wasn't pure isopropyl alcohol, like all the cleaners I got my hand on. Those actually cleaned stuff too, if you couldn't disassemble your player.

Dorkyd68@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

What's a mortgage??

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org · 5 pts · 1y

One out of three. I kept my hair and I rent in this lunatic market.

Lemmchen@feddit.org · 5 pts · 1y

Isn't this more of a being 50 thing?

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 5 pts · 1y

These things were terrible at cleaning my head.

Zachariah@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

A product whose sole purpose was to extract money from consumers. Didn’t clean worth a damn, but also rarely fucked up your VCR.

Mighty_Appititey@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

I wish

JasonDJ@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 1y

As a bald male homeowner who just turned 40...fuck.

Edit: I'm bald by my own decision. My genetics made the first move but I flanked it and showed it whose boss.

Well i see some amyl nitrate...the other boxy thing is unfamiliar to me

TeddE@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

The other boxy thing is a black ribbon dispenser to hog tie the guy's hands.

Hah, joke is on you. I'm balding and I've paid off my mortgage.

DmMacniel@feddit.org · 4 pts · 1y

I'm neither Bald, nor do I have a mortgage or in my 40s. But I do know how to clean my VHS deck, thank you very much.

joel_feila@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Like we can afford a home

terminhell@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

If you think that you're probably an out of touch zoomer imagining the world in the 80's was in 4:3.

Although to be fair I have zero recollection of the 80's. You may guess reasons if you wish. I was there though. And have my hair.

Ahhh my first attempt at getting high, it's good to see you old friend.

Rumbelows@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

I feel personally attacked.

Harvey656@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Jokes on you, I'm 32, full head of hair, and don't have a mortgage because I'm poor.

:( the American lie ruined me.

normalexit@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Accurate.

oppy1984@lemdro.id · 2 pts · 1y

Balding thank you very much. Also I don't have a mortgage.
