Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”

[-] teft@lemmy.world 103 points 3 months ago

The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.

Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we'll officially transition to "30s to mid 40s."

Wow thanks I'm going to go cry now

And people acting like "boomers" are now usually Gen-x.

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 3 points 3 months ago

True. It is not a boomer who made that meme. It is either a troll or yet another bitter Gen X.

As far as mental maturity goes I skipped from 15 to 65, which is to say I've never truly behaved as a normal adult free of childish and/or eccentric whims.

Even the digitals you had in the 00's didn't have very good red eye correction (if any at all)

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 28 points 3 months ago

I distinctly remember the first digicams to be worse than analogue in this regard

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 months ago

It was so bad that the PC software that came with the camera often had a red eye removal feature. I remember being fascinated when I figured out you could use it on things other than eyes and it just took the red out of anything.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

Red eye correction didn't come to the default camera app on iPhones until 2013.

"Millenials" just means "people younger than me" now.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

And at the same time, “boomer” means anyone over 50, somehow. Soon I will be a boomerlennial.

[-] hoch@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Hell, even the older Gen-Z grew up with analog cameras, VHS players, paper maps, and no computers.

I'm not sure people realize zoomers are almost 30, and millennials are nearing 50.

[-] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Wait until they find out about GenAlpha

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Red eye happens because of the flash. So still happens on digital cameras. It’s just nowadays they automatically detect and correct for it after the shot has taken. Or some cameras can do a pre flash before the flash for the shot fires or a light turns on when you half press the shutter button. That way the pupil will shrink and less light will enter the pupil and not light up the back of the eye.
