Wait my Zoomer buddy definitely has a wallet thicker that George Costanza’s. I’m starting to think the internet is just full of lies for making us hate each other.
for making us hate each other.
While it is true that certain old generation is hoarding most of stuff, it is rich class from that generation who hoard it. We as multiple generations need to come up with plan that prevents such iner- and intragenerational separation. And untangle neofeudalism mess current rich class created.
I’m a millennial and I got a bootleg ridge wallet from temu and I love it. I’ll probably get a real one if/when this breaks.
What does that say about me?
I have the real ridge wallet and love it too…just don’t waste your time with the tray
Like a huge tray to carry your stuff in? That might be fun, and smaller than my last wallet.
I also heard by the socks. Millennials do no-show, but apparently high socks are the style now? Those will never not look super dorky to me, so I guess I’m old now.
Millenial here, I never got on board with the no show or low cut or ankle cut or whatever socks, crew socks always. Probably not en vogue with any age group, but I also don’t care. They go great with my cargo shorts.
I roll them down to make a decorative ankle donut that looks great over my crocs
As a gen z this confuses me, I have a wallet and most people around my age also have one. Sure maybe you could say if they carry cash or not cause I definitely don’t carry cash but I still have my wallet cause theres a lot of places that don’t accept phone payments.
I’m a mid-range millennial and don’t carry cash, my wife is a slightly younger millennial and also doesn’t carry cash. I think probably most non-elder millennials don’t, but I think everyone needs a wallet. Gotta carry your ID and stuff somehow
Even us elder millennials often don’t carry cash. I’m so elder, I might as well be gen-x. And until recently it had been years since I carried cash.
Same. If I have cash it’s because I needed it for something specific and haven’t managed to get rid of the change.
A lotta zoomers have phone cases with their id and stuff in them, which might be the alternative? Personally I never trusted myself to not lose my phone and be really fucked.
Elder zoomer here. I have a wallet for all of my cards, those for pay, for insurance, for identification, etc.
Unfortunately my country doesn’t have the option for those to all be digital, so I’m still limited to something physical. Probably for the best anyways. It’s better to have redundant versions of those, in physical or digital form, in case one method is lost.
If zoomers at large don’t carry wallets, even in countries where digitization is easy, that’s just as risky as only carrying those cards in a wallet. It might be even more risky because you need your phone to be on to access that information, meaning chargers are necessary as well as a source of electricity. Not so easy in all regions of the world. Solar + batteries would work, but that’s more to carry around, when you could simply carry a wallet.
My phone is at 5%. Fuck yes I have a wallet, I’m not buying a new phone every year. I’m a millennial, by definition I have no money.
My phone is almost 7 years old but in pristine condition. People often praise me of how careful I am when taking care of my belongings.
But the truth is I’m just poor AF. If something broke I don’t know how long till I can replace it so I just have to “babying” everything I own.
Unless taking care of it means you’ve replaced the battery, there’s no way it is performing at the same battery life retention which is what he was referring to.
Nope, original battery, still got 7 hours of Screen-on time.
AccuBattery report 81% capacity remain based on ~900 charge cycle recorded.
I NEVER let the battery get below 20% and NEVER charged pass 80%. It took A LOT of effort to maintain that for years, but it was worth it.
I don’t have my phone with me right now, but here’s my 4 year old tablet. It got abused a lot more than my phone.
Indeed! The sad thing is, I got this phone because someone was giving it away because it has a “spicy pillow” battery. Samsung fucking glues their batteries into their phones, but I was able to carefully remove it and replace with a lot of work (and a new screen cause it practically shatters when touched).
It was still cheaper than a new phone, but given it’s on its second life, this phone is getting on in years. Those batteries basically just become bombs after a few years.
Eh, most Millenials don’t have “wallets” like older generations had either.
The giant 3-5 inch thick monstrosities.
Even 20 years ago a lot of Gen X had made the switch to just a flat card hold with a couple 20s slid in.
A Millenial with one of those would say they have a wallet. A Gen Z with the same thing would say they had a card holder.
So I think a big part of this is just language evolving.
