What are fellow Zoomer kiwi's eating habits like? I've always cooked most of my own food because my dad was a great cook and kinda set a high bar. Also the cost savings compared to pre-prepared stuff and eating out are significant. Love me spaghetti with homemade meatballs.

I was curious because I don't see too many young people at my grocery store. I was also curious if anyone uses any of those delivery food services that have popped up everywhere.

I drink Soylent because it's quick and efficient, and I don't have to use my teeth which are an atavistic remnant of our debauched origin as carnivorous predators.

I'm definitely an older Gen Z, I remember my family only having an old Dell PC that was running Windows XP and had a couple TVs with Dish as a cable service back when it was actually decent. Didn't get a phone until Junior year of high school.

How to tell if you are a Zoomer or Millennial: Are you below 30, and do you have memories of 9/11 or not? First OS I remember using was Windows XP as well.

I was introduced to the computer very early on despite living in a country (Hungary) where the adoption of the internet happened slower than in other Western countries, and I was allowed to use it rather frequently. While I was also among the first in my age group to get a smartphone (the adoption of them was not as slow), I quickly realized how phones are inferior to desktop computers thanks to my previous experience.

Many others weren't that lucky. This delayed adoption meant that many people of my age had smartphones as their first personal device they owned and didn't have to share, not desktop computers. These kids would jump from watching TV to being on their phones.

I could tell during my IT classes who got a computer first and who got a smartphone easily; the difference between them was that drastic.

While the first OS my family used was Windows XP, we also had surprisingly fond memories of using Vista, probably making us one of the few people of the world to do so.

I eat lunch at work and skip breakfast, so I only eat dinner at home, meaning on days off I eat pure slop at home. I'd love to have bread, toppings, greens and fruit in my home, but like.. I don't eat it. I don't eat breakfast and I try to stick to two meals with a bit of fruity filler, so why have bread? Why have all kinds of ingredients in my home? I feel that living with other people you're more likely to put effort into making food with whatever you got because you keep food for several people at all times.

I've been tempted to meal prep but that only seems all the more wasteful. I'd make.. two things a week, if even that? What food can you prep that keeps +5 days that isn't rice and meat?

Soups and stews are great for making multiple meals at once and they freeze well.

It's more like they worship it without realizing that it's a false idol.

I think it comes to an extent from how fake millenials seem to be. Dont get me wrong, zoomers do plenty of clout chasing, but at this point its the folly of youth.
With Millenials however, it feels like everything they do is to show off. They buy jeeps, not because they drive offroad, but so they can emote to others that they are the kind of rugged person that would do that. They drink fancy wines, not because they love wine, but because they can emote to others that they're the high class person that does that.
When the progenitors of culture before you have decided to deconstruct everything, but conveniently not construct anything afterwards, you're left with very little to he sincere about. When those same progenitors live, not by their loves, but by how they can emote what their "loves" should say about them, its hard not to become intensely cynnical and jaded, and live exclusively in irony, watching them live out their own hypocrisy.
(Apologies for the necro)

That's just millennials copying their boomer parents.

Millennials are literally just boomers, but poorer and gayer.

I didn't get a phone till I bought it off a friend for 15 dollars in highschool had no service tho lol. I didn't officially get till I got a job.

It's all foreigners and boomers at my local grocery store too. If I go to the nice, upscale grocery store that gives free cheese bread to the kids it's just boomers. I think one big issue with Zoomers and cooking is that we're often forced into little bugcaves or roommate situations that make it difficult to cook, since buying bulk staples and equipment/appliances is unwieldy for people cooking for 1 or 2 and storing it is not an option in a shared pantry-refrigerator.
I escaped the pod, so now I stick with home-cooked meals and make as much as I can from scratch. Now that I'm cooking for myself and the girlfriend I feel really pressed to impress, so I'm always trying to buy vegetables and stuff I didn't eat growing up and using LLMs to generate recipes. I'd say eating out is a once-or-twice-a-monthly thing for me, we have a few favourites we rotate though. I'm not above fast food but she is. Before I moved in with her and lived in a closet, I'll admit to using UberJeets more than I should have, but now that I have someone else holding me to some standard we only order when we're in a situation where the fridge is empty or neither of us want to cook (rare since I love cooking).

nigga you sound like a whipped slave, damn! got to be a '97 nigga, your bitch got ya nuts all locked and fuckin loaded.

sorry. peers of mine have boyfriends, and the relationship just erodes into shit. everybody quick to share messages trying to expose a nigga if he looked at his bitch sideways... like cmon im not saying boomers and millieanils are radically different. they obviously talk shit but they have a tact to it almost. like not everybody's not rushing to provide proof that someone was mean.

That's the easy part, the hard part's trying to find out what kind of Zoomer are they.

But thats my exact point. Millennials are absolutely sure that they are different and better than their boomer parents, when in reality they have very similar sins, just in different ways

My first OS was Windows 95. I was a literal toddler playing Age of Empires 1 and 2, Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem. I didn't even know how to read and write in my native language but I somehow finished the Roman campaign and the first chapter of Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior.

I probably would have memories of 9/11 if a 8 month old could retain memories cause my dad was playing with me infront of the tv when it happened lol.
