Microwaves are very common household appliances. They are as common a Refrigerators or toasters. Sips just never owned a microwave in his adulthood, and so he made the wrongful assumption that microwaves had somehow lost their popularity after his childhood. If microwaves had been a temporary trend of the atomic/plastic age, then sips would be right. Pyrion had a point in that every modern invention has its root in a time before ours. It just doesn't make sense to claim that one of the staples of the modern middle class world is a relic of the past.
Ironically, sips making fun of microwaves makes him the ultimate boomer. I see microwaves as as "young people" thing, because it's fast, easy and somewhat tied to unhealthy food. I would say I'm more a boomer in this sense, because I don't own a microwave. But that has more to do that my kitchen is too small and I'm poor as fuck lol.
However I will say that a lot of younger people avoid microwaves simply because they have food delivered or in rare cases they like to cook for themselves. I'd wager the average microwave usage has gone down since all the food delivery options have become popular. But yeah, they are still definitely used.
When they were talking about "mystery toys", the toy line "Monsters in my pocket" as they was named in the UK, popped in to my mind. They had several packs were you didn't see what was in it and hoped that you got a rare monster in a rare colour. I had a mighty collection of them.
To answer the question that sips asked about solar panels. (Although he won't read triforce comments). If you can afford them, definitely buy them. They will pay for themselves in roughly 5-10 years. All while reducing your electric bill. If you can't afford them, wait ~5 years, when they are more affordable and buy them. So tell sips to buy solar panels if he can afford them.
@26:00 In USA, I remember mystery capsule toys were popular in the early 90s. You'd pop in a quarter or so and you get stuff like sticky hands, rubber balls, tattoos, stickers, figures, parachute toys, etc. These have been around for a long time. I want to bet Japan or China made mystery capsules popular.
Buying solar panels and electric cars, even if not super effective at the moment, nevertheless means investing money into green tech which will help it grow. (note, I believe I've read that individual electric cars actually do make a positive difference, but I don't wanna look up the facts right now.)

They are worth it. www.solarchoice.net.au/blog/news/solar-energy-myth-buster-1-they-take-more-energy-to-manufacture-then-they-will-ever-generate-161209/
Thank god PFlax is here to be the voice for everyone. Sips is a real boomer for thinking like that. Boomer is a mind set, not just the year when things are made.
The thing PFlax said about solar panels and the energy to produce them. I was wondering the same thing once and decided to check it out. It turns out they generate the energy they need to be produced in about a week.
The moment I saw the microwave thumbnail on the Triforce, it made me think of Sips talking about it in another video and I clicked the video right away.
43:50 Pyrian is 100% wrong, could NOT be wronger. The EROEI (Energy Return On Energy Invested) is now less than a year. Depending on location, the payback time is less than five now.
Being disabled and unable to stand and prepare meals for long, I can only cook with my microwave oven and I'm not yet 30. Even if they were invented back then, they've surpassed a specific time period, even if people like Sips don't need them. Sips doesn't even understand what the whole 'boomer' meme thing is about. He's technically correct about time periods, but Pyrion is correct about why it's even getting discussed - it's not an issue of specific age, but outdated views and expectations. Hence a lot of people getting told 'ok boomer' aren't actually boomers, they've just absorbed/are demonstrating the same mentality of the stereotype of the people from that time.
13:15 honestly, I'd rather abolish it at all and make uni free for everyone. There's not point in calling a broken system a new name and pretending that the problems are gone.
Free uni is (unfortunately) a disaster for the economy. We had free uni for a while here in the UK and the result was a generation of students with stupid and pointless degrees in areas such as media studies... so there was a lot of debt and unemployment nationally and we had a total market crash.
Pyrion’s older and has boomer views (see the section on spiderman). He instantly got defensive and said Lewis’s spiderman article was “attacking every other generation” (it didn’t) I think Sips’s whole “microwaves are boomer devices” thing is just him being stupid
i love how pyrion thinks that a house and money get passed on to your children in this day and age. unless you are very rich the house is sold and the money from the house and savings go to paying for your care home because your kids have to work too many hours to afford to live to be able to look after you and the nhs cant afford to put you in a nursing home unless you are really ill, so you slowly die of old age unable to take care of yourself anymore but well enough to cling on to life for another 10 years maybe with dementia or Alzheimer's to make it even worse so you can drain all the money down to the £14,250 you are allowed to keep by the government from all your assets (so that includes having to sell your house) at witch point they will start paying your fees for you. so you have 2 choices either spend all your money down to £14,250 before you need a care home (long before as they will check to see if you spent all your money on purpose) or take the logans run approach. so go for the equity release then use enough of the money to buy that camper van and have some spending money then split the rest between your kids and live off your government pension (and workplace pension if you are lucky enough) till you need a care home and then you will have less than £14,250 so you will get care for free
if your uncle looks after her when he is not at work then she is lucky enough to not need full time care, my grandma had dementia and couldn't be trusted to live alone but my mom was ill and my dad worked full time and had his own medical problems and myself and my partner cant drive work and have a kid to look after so we couldn't make sure someone was with her 24/7 but she did not qualify for any kind of help so all her money went into her care home. you are lucky your grandma does not need that much help and that she has 2 people who are well enough and have enough money and time to look after her. i think the way jobs and earnings etc are these days many people would struggle to work enough to earn enough to look after their immediate family as well as look after an elderly relative
I'm 24, have a microwave, at college was only allowed a microwave in my dorm to cook, and use the microwave for reheating or instant meals 90-100% of the time
I think Pyrion and Sips are both half right. I think that the older microwaves are boomer appliances, but that doesn't mean that zoomers don't use them
9:49 thats not about the money its about how revolutionary it was for ppl at that time its kind of iconic of that era and thats why it 100% is a boomer appliance
Honestly whats the cut off age for Boomers? hhehehe I've known some 50-80 year old folks, that should not "qualify' with the negative stigma folks are assigning to them with this term. I think the word people might be looking for is "sell-out" As I also know many people from teens to 90's that simply sell out from ideals truths facts and reality. One of my best friends passed away to cancer last year. He was in his 70's and anything but a "Boomer" by the description that seems to be attached to them. We played MMO's daily, talked about green energy, discussed the evils of politicians and I truly miss him :( He never sold out. He always recycled, as well as cycled most places. If you'd have met him in a game you'd have expected him to be 20 or so. So, Baby Boomers, aren't the problem, but people, of any age that sells out. Thats my opinion.
I completely agree with you. I know 20 year olds who are close minded and think climate change is a liberal hoax and other young people who can't even walk a few thousand steps a day, and I know 80 year olds who can run marathons and fight everyday for social rights and progress. It's not about the age, it's about the environment they live in and their own personal improvement.
It's a generalization. Obviously it won't hold for every single individual, but talking about the culture and attitudes that surround a certain generation is important sociologically. Boomer just refers to people born during the baby boom which followed the end of World War Two. It's not disparaging by itself, it's just a colloquial title for that generation. It's like talking about Japanese culture and how that has shaped their society. You might conclude that they are generally hard-working and polite. Now of course there will be some lazy and rude Japanese, but the broad strokes of the assessment still hold, and that's what people are talking about. Your friend sounds like a great man and I really hope he represents a silent majority of boomers.
Wtf Sips... When my family got our very first microwave, I was 5 years old! In 1993! And we didn't get one earlier because before that there was NONE in the stores! Being born in the late '80s is a boomer thing now?? (Not to mention that we got a landline phone 1 year earlier...)
Some of those business ideas are actually already a thing. Their theory of fully autonomous vehicles has been a long standing theory. There have been papers written about the "American experience" once no one owns a vehicle. It's a staple of a lot of teens in the USA to get in the car and go. From going on your first date, hooking up in the back seat, picking up friends and causing trouble...all will be lost.
I somewhat agree with Pyrion and the whole leaving money for your kids IF they are decent humans with jobs, families, no crime, no alcohol or dr*g abuse otherwise you are handing tons of money to a dead-beat who will spent on it dumb crap and gambling. So might as well spend it yourself, knowing your kids are not worth it or ignore you.
I always thought microwaves were a poor people thing. Certainly cheaper and smaller than an oven. I guess an electric grill is pretty cheap. I used to live in a cramped room with 2 other guys. We had no oven, a mini fridge and a 14 inch microwave that we cooked literally anything we could conceive of inside. Had to keep it super clean as well. A particularly nasty fart could set off the smoke detectors in that place, much less anything burning.
Which Spider-Man is the one that used the military strength of his personal tech empire to invade an entire country even though it was against all international agreements?
Little did Sips know, he ate from a microwave once. Also, I have had a microwave all 20 years of my life and have used it very commonly. Edit: Isn't talking negatively about other Twitch users against their ToS or something? I've heard more than a few people saying something that my brain processes as "Against ToS". Clearly Sips is just some sort of old-fashion-only Luddite.
Sips thinking microwaves are for boomers makes him even more of a boomer.

My solar panels already tell me how much they are receiving during the day and also how much power my house is using. why is this a surprise?
Some of those business ideas are actually already a thing. Their theory of fully autonomous vehicles has been a long standing theory. There have been papers written about the "American experience" once no one owns a vehicle. It's a staple of a lot of teens in the USA to get in the car and go. From going on your first date, hooking up in the back seat, picking up friends and causing trouble...all will be lost.
Hair pulled back is called a Croydon face lift.
where can I watch the Twitch jinglejam highlights that lewis talked about?
I somewhat agree with Pyrion and the whole leaving money for your kids IF they are decent humans with jobs, families, no crime, no alcohol or dr*g abuse otherwise you are handing tons of money to a dead-beat who will spent on it dumb crap and gambling. So might as well spend it yourself, knowing your kids are not worth it or ignore you.
Listening to 3 boomers arguing about microwaves, amazing.
You know what younger Zoomer think is Boomer Stuff that is used in the kitchen.
Jiffy Pop!!
us 18 year olds use microwaves daily and if they were boomer tech we wouldn't go near em
I always thought microwaves were a poor people thing. Certainly cheaper and smaller than an oven. I guess an electric grill is pretty cheap.
I used to live in a cramped room with 2 other guys. We had no oven, a mini fridge and a 14 inch microwave that we cooked literally anything we could conceive of inside. Had to keep it super clean as well. A particularly nasty fart could set off the smoke detectors in that place, much less anything burning.
I get what sips is saying. Basically microwaves haven't changed since the 60s.
Lmao sips is so fucking boomer hooollllyyyy shit. I 100% agree with pyrion that airfryers are the *real* boomer appliences.
Never stop guys. Lewis, Chris, Ted ... Never stop!
Walking through Bristol naked pushing people
Which Spider-Man is the one that used the military strength of his personal tech empire to invade an entire country even though it was against all international agreements?
I have at least three microwaves in my house, I never use them, they are definatelty a Boomer appliance.
Why do you still have three of them and don't use them?
wtf are they going on about microwaves... the toaster is some industrial age shit-welp I guess i'm a boomer.
I wanna hear Sips's definition of a Boomer Device
Little did Sips know, he ate from a microwave once. Also, I have had a microwave all 20 years of my life and have used it very commonly.
Edit: Isn't talking negatively about other Twitch users against their ToS or something? I've heard more than a few people saying something that my brain processes as "Against ToS".
Clearly Sips is just some sort of old-fashion-only Luddite.
I think that hero was Moon Knight.
I think somebody needs to tell Lewis that it’s actually Batman who’s the most profitable superhero of all time....
I agree with Sips 100%
The beach sucks
if owning boomer-tech makes you a boomer, anyone who owns a PC would be a boomer
holy shit sips that "Falling Down" comment was fucking based
Pyrion is a tier 1 boomer
I saw that equity release advert XD
Regular fryers are boomer appliances, most don't know what air fryers are.

Coming to a cinema near you...
Sips, Elon musk has created solar panel roof tiles that you can connect to a electric car power bank to charge it and the house. Mind blown!
