If someone is legitimately asking this, they’re a fucking idiot. As a GenX there were tons of stuff that was outdated by the time I was around, but not once was there reason to believe it was made up.
I’d imagine the large majority of these “I’m so young! I don’t know what a pager is!” Is just typical “look at me!” Bullshit.
Especially considering that this dumbass has the entire world’s worth of information at their fingertips and could easily just shut up and google it if they were actually wanting to know.
Man, I do really love a lot of the internet culture, but this shit I wish never happened. The whole fake meme conversation… it’s so incredibly cringey and embarrassing.
From what I could tell, the Bluesky OP had a private conversation with the younger fellow who simply just wanted to find out something from someone they might personally know.
It isn’t wrong to ask someone a question which could be easily googleable since the question is simply a way to converse and find out more about the person you’re questioning.
If they really are someone who just seeks attention, they’d just make ragebait about this topic publicly.
Meh, scroll on and ignore it. How in the hell do you have the energy to get that excited about a stupid Internet post? Cut the kids some slack, they’ve never not had attention. You don’t have to give them yours.

You’re assuming I exert this energy on every single post like this. Misconception. Just finally had a moment to speak my mind on it.
