I’d be in prison, along with all my friends. Mainly for trespassing on neighbouring woodlands and re-enacting WW2 with air rifles, but also the occasional riding of old motorcycles (legally acquired) around tracks we made in a disused quarry.
I am so happy i grew up before smart phones if some of the things i did in my teens and 20's were recorded and put on the interwebs id probally still be in prison
We may not have had phones for recording these times but some did have camcorders and videocameras that our parents used for filming certain family videos. On the other hand, many of us were well aware of the fact that we didn't leave any evidence of what we did for our parents to find at a very early age and a video recording would definitely be something that we wouldn't want them to find and discover what creative things we were actually doing as kids.
@@kenclashaus3482 some GenX and a number of boomers still have the VCRs and a few still have the old beta machine. Fortunately when I was a kid, if you were with us, spectating wasn't allowed, you had to do it also or get left behind.
So glad I got all of my stupid out by the early 2000's before everyone had smart phones. I shudder to think about just my teenage years in the 90s...oof.
The sins of the tictoc parent shall be visited upon their children until such a time where the parent becomes feeble and only fit for a government role. Then the child shall revisit the sins upon the parent and laugh while you drool and make new tax policies.
Here's what I don't understand about these modern post general anesthesia videos: Coming down from general anesthesia. When I had my wisdom teeth removed, me, my parents and my siblings only got local anesthesia and while the whole affair was quite inconvenient, it wasn't that bad as long as you didn't get dry socket after your stitches came out. I'm genuinely curious if general anesthesia is something they just started doing for the millennials & later or if it was always an option and our parents just declined it because it was too expensive.
A mixture of all your reasoning I believe explains general versus localized anesthesia. My family was dirt poor, so it was the cheap way or "deal with it".
@@mattbrown5511 Ayup! "Deal with it!" I think was a lot of folks first words, goodness knows I heard it plenty of times. I remember when my baby brother and me were having a general disagreement about keeping the family dog inside while he finished up some chores outdoors and I shouted "Deal with it!" as I let the dog out the back door and locked it so he couldn't let the dog back in the house because the dog was gettin' in the way of my chores so he leads the dog back inside from the garage and shouts back, "Dealt with!" then takes the garage door keys and locks the door from the outside. That was effective because dear old dad had installed the deadbolt the wrong way on the door and just never got around to fixin' it. Good times.
I for one am glad I am gen x and have no recorded history of my stupidity and acts of, well....... WE'RE not gonna repeat the crazy things I did. I'd probably still be in jail for the stupid Shis I did. The few things my parents did catch me doing were bad enough. They never were informed of the absolutely deviant things I did in my 20's. Not most of it anyway. Hell, they watched the news in the town I moved to just to make sure I wasn't dead or in jail because they knew I'd be that guy. But they did freak out when that dude stole that tank in San Diego cause they didn't immediately catch the location and thought I'd lost my ish at AIT and was terrorizing the base.
The house behind my parents blew up from a gas leak. The first thing my mother thought was, "Oh God, what did ***** do now?" Ha! She thought us first two kids were a handful. My baby brother gave her a run for her money. So glad there were no camera phones for my shenanigans. 🖖
As a GenX, I am more than happy that there were no smart phones available to record me being an idiot or record anything that could be held against me, not that I was anything more than pure and innocent when I was younger in the Army!!!!
Ok i took video of my son coming out of anesthia after surgery, it was hilarious. Did not go on the internet its a family fun thing. Was also pay back for him laughing when dad screamed as the doc tried to yank a busted wrist back into place.
There is supposedly a video of me out there somewhere partying with my friends which they say is hilarious from the 80s. But the guy who has it, a former boyfriend, won't let me watch it
Luckly for me I was taught to how to find and destroy anything I'd not want my Ma to see. If the british army found out I did this they might fire me, Again! CERTA CITO! 😂😂😂😂
Me and my friends did a LOT dumb crap. And other than us talking about it, theres no evidence. And im glad. The only video of us as kids were birthday, engagement, wedding parties etc and that was onky IF a family member had a camcorder.
since my childhood would been probably evidence at some point at some court i am gratefull the internet wasnt around; only fannybag dads with their camcorders who where to busy squatting everywhere and filming everything, living the james cameron dream
Never even entered my mind to record my kids after surgery - just why? Simply do not understand the purpose of it. I guess I still live in the times long ago when things best left forgotten left no record.
Yeah, I 'll pass on that. Even though I have the phone now the most I will do with it is comment here and there. Maybe one day I will but you best believe I'll be on my best behavior until, you know, someone pisses me the right way and I turn into a sailor. See, there's a reason we didn't record ourselves. There were things we said and did that if open for public cosumption would cause one helluva generational upheaval. What we say we did is one thing, seeing it would raise the hair all over our parent's bodies. Then none of us would have seen the out of doors again without them. So, we didn't do anything in front of our parents that might give them a heart attack. Like me cussin' out a neighbor kid for bullyin' my younger sibs. Or stealin' cigarettes from a car in a grocery store parking lot. Back then people left their car windows down. We thought it was the car of family friend. He later told us it wasn't him. Yipes!!!😅 The truth would have made my mom a nervous wreck. *smh* No, those days are better left to "fond memories" as my mom was old school and still gave out spankins'. Good times y'all.
Good God I think that hat has rotted your brain... You do understand that the only reason a lot of us aren't in prison for the rest of our days is because there *wasn't* video evidence of our exploits...
There is no way in hell I'd ever want my childhood or early 20's on the Internet... .. ..
Amen!!!!!!
As a gen-x I'm grateful that my childhood wasnt recorded
Police reports and that section of the newspaper, police blotter. There is history.

In the times before, we had America's Funniest Home Videos.

We have nothing to worry about. The tapes may still exist but the VCRs are all gone 😅😅

Yes we did NOT want any evidence laying around to be used against our butts😂.

Children are for our amusement. And Gen-X has a twisted, semi-sociopathic sense of humor.

Wisest video you've ever posted

Oh hell NO! I am so glad no one has video of my BS!
If it wasn't photographed or recorded, it didn't happen. So glad we didn't have cell phones or camcorders growing up. So glad.
Pretty heavy, man. Poor girl. I wonder if she had a local or full anesthesia. I'm glad my antics weren't recorded by the way.
I just call it pay back😂😂😂
Sin???? That works, too😂

Use a piece of paper like i did when my wisdom teeth came out so long ago.

I cant tell if people make bad calls online because they are genuinely stupid or just hopeless addicts of the Internet.
