Two Twitter posts. The original is by Shitheadsteve @shitheadsteve, and it reads “10 year old me preparing to tell my mom at 9pm I need glue and construction paper for my project due tomorrow.” There is an attached picture of Homelander from The Boys exhaling with a fearful expression on his face. The second post is replying to the original post. It’s is by Roy Wood Jr- Ex Jedi O @roywoodjr and it reads “6th grade I forgot the science fair was next day. 10pm in a panic, I find a loaf of molded bread my pops forgot to throw out. Made a study on mold, moisture & air. Got 2nd place in the school. 5th in the city. Bread so moldy I was praised for “conducting weeks of research”.

    I didn’t even have the moldy bread. I just made my entire project up off the top of my head the night before. It was some rubbish about running different batteries down on light bulbs and tracking their life spans.

    Wait a fucking minute

    We didn’t need to do those stupid projects, GPA doesn’t matter until high school and no one learns one goddamn thing from doing them

    OUR INNOCENT PAST SELVES WERE TRICKED

    When my dad remembered his herbarium homework the morning of, Grandma ran into the garden and collected a variety of plants in a few minutes. Using the oven and iron, she produced the best dried plants in his class.

    Then there’s us kids who knew it was dangerous to ask our parents for crafting supplies even for a homework assignment… heck it was dangerous to be visible at home, let alone express a need.

    That’s why the new generation is week. In our youth there was no internet tk “make a study” at 10 pm. Mom and dad would have to improvise a vulcano until 3pm dor it to be dry in the morning. And all we had were our own parents fact to go on lol

    edit: it’s a joke. It’s great parents have the internet today

      Well I guess your generation was preoccupied using brick phones to learn how to properly spell words judging by the amount of spelling errors, as well as lack of punctuation.

        A person that attacks ponctuation and spelling is weak.

        btw I had no glasses and was in bed. I don’t care about this here, but if you do so much maybe it’s not the place for you.

          Mate it’s a joke - calm down, I could not care less about someone’s spelling especially since mine would suck much more as a foreigner
