I constantly find my parents watching fucking shorts on Facebook. My Godmother showed me a video of a cat eating cereal asking "how's the cat doing that" when it was spawning a human hand. My parents are watching bullshit on YouTube that is so mindnumbingly stupid like it's citizen Kane.

This is the generation that complain about "Youths on social media".
