| “Kids shouldn’t be on phones or iPads all the time. It makes them weird.” |
| In recent years, baby boomers have often been the target of criticism from younger generations. The most common accusations are that boomers are selfish and don’t care about leaving ample resources (whether financial or environmental) to subsequent generations. |
| They also come under fire for not being able to acknowledge that it was easier for people of their generation to come of age when things were more affordable and life was a lot less competitive. |
| However, we should also understand that many of today’s problems are not the boomers’ doing, especially when it comes to the issues that stem from entitled children and technology run amok. In hindsight, there’s something to be said about the importance that boomers placed on self-reliance, letting kids be kids and having a healthy skepticism towards technology. |

| “Legend says he’s still sliding to this day.” |
| There are actually some people that choose to live where the air hurts your face. Sure, snow and icicles can be pretty to watch on television or even from the comfort of your own toasty living room. But it’s much less serene when you have to get out in it to do non-exciting activities like go to school or work. |
| The people of Portland, Oregon have been dealing with the beauty of mother nature up close and personal–sometimes a little too close. After an ice storm trapped them in the house for days, people started having to venture outdoors and the results are hilarious. Residents of the iced-in city have been uploading videos of themselves and others looking a lot like a new born deer attempting to take its first steps. |

| The 26-year-old’s encounter with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was too hilarious. |
| Every generation eventually reaches the point where they realize they’re aging, but apparently Gen Z is hitting that milestone a lot earlier than most. Despite—or perhaps because of—growing up during the biggest anti-aging beauty product boom the world has ever seen, the young folks born between 1997 and 2012 are gaining a reputation for looking old before their time. |
| How can anyone who is younger than 27 look old, you may ask? It’s a valid question. According to one cosmetic doctor, young adults are engaging in anti-aging interventions like fillers and Botox prematurely, which ironically is making them “age” faster. Another culprit could be that smoking and vaping have taken hold of Gen Z in a way that their millennial predecessors generally managed to avoid. |
| According to Jordan Howlett, better known as Jordan the Stallion on TikTok, it’s “mainly because of the stress” that Gen Z is “aging like milk.” But it’s Howlett’s own personal anecdotes of looking older than his age as a Gen Zer that has people marveling—and laughing out loud. |

| Twenty-four people had to move in perfect unison to nail this amazing routine. |
| You know what they say…go big or go home. |
| Well, the University of Minnesota Dance Team, aka The Gophers, certainly made no plans of going home during their epic dance routine at the UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championships in Orlando, Florida (otherwise known as “The Dance Super Bowl”) last weekend. |
| The Gophers absolutely wowed audiences with a perfectly synchronized performance toAeromsith’s“Dream On” that quickly racked up millions of views on social media, not to mention a few headlines. |
