Boomer forgot how millennials are old enough to have had to have film developed.
I’m gen z and I still remember that time.
Red eyes also happen on digital photos.
Well you gotta stop taking photos of me just after I’ve smoked a fat joint, man!
Pissed the hell out of my boomer photography enthusiast dad. Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.
Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.
“How many times do I have to tell you not to open the camera door?! You can’t see the picture yet!”
Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.
Our level of rebellion knows no bounds!
Millennial? No we don’t we were there the whole time…
Right? Who made this? What millennial doesn’t remember red eye, it was in every damn photo when I was a kid and Im not a particularly old millennial.
Mate I’m a millennial and I had my photos developed at the chemists. You’re thinking of gen z.
You’re thinking of young gen z. I am gen z and as a kid I also had some of my photos developed.
Either way, I think we can agree that millennials know what film is. Many of us have even developed it ourselves. You know back when people were thought things other than app development and learned helplessness.
I believe they are name gen alpha or some other greek letter.
I can’t wait to see how Gen Delta turns out.
Gen alpha surely. But also the younger gen z I would think. Afaik gen z starts around the end of the 90s
There was a brief surge in the 10s where disposable film cameras were given out as party favors at weddings.
Edit: Meant to comment on a comment further down.
I don’t know for genZ people but I use my last disposable camera in 2010. Althought, I must be honest I had stop to use them for more almost two years in favor of the more common digital camera.
I think I last used a disposable one in 2008 when I was 6. I have an analog one now but was fully digital inbetween.
Generation Omega.
Seriously, I remember taking a disposable camera with me on our school trip Washington. I also remember that it was during that trip that we all found out you could open those things up and turn them into mini tasers.
I’m a Millenial, grew up with a polaroid. This meme is just wrong.
Even beyond that the 1980s is like the start of millennials. I’d ask if this was made by LLMs but I’d expect even those to get something that dumb correct.
When the fuck do we get to retire from the “young and stupid” category?
Also, I had red eyes in most photos from my child- and teenhood. I spent a lot of money on film in my teens before I got my first phone with a proper camera in 2007.
Next you’re gonna condescendingly explain what a floppy disc or a cassette tape is too? Even Gen z is old enough to know about those.
I don’t think you properly understand how generations work.
- A Boomer is anyone older then me who I disagree with.
- A millennial is anyone younger then me who I disagree with.
- Someone from Gen Z is anyone younger than me who uses a technology (usually a social media site) I don’t like.
For some reason I feel like these rules were written by a gen x but iDK why
You totally stole this explanation from Tik Tok, zoomer. I bet you don’t even know how to launch Netscape from command line. /S

If you were concerned, then why not send a private message instead? “Not trying to be rude”, sure. Sounds like you’re trying to intimidate. Maybe you shouldn’t do that.
bait
Millenials grew up going into a store to have photos developed from film.
Millennials are between 29 and 44. They are turning into the old generation.
This meme feels like it is 10 or more years old.
But then they would have been between 19 and 34.
I’m a millennial and my first camera used film cassettes similar to these ones.
You beat me to it. It was so satisfying to brute force the… Advancement square(?) between each shot. Made me feel like a spy, even though the camera was being blue and my sister had covered it with stickers of holographic dolphins.
110 cameras were the absolute best!
110 film! The first time I figured out that capacitors hurt was when I dropped a 110 film camera. The front plate popped off and when I tried to pick up the camera, I touched the wrong part of the circuit board and the flash cap discharged into my hand. I dropped the camera, and it recharged the capacitors. I picked it up again and got zapped again. Was not the brightest kid. Picked it up more carefully and popped the front plate back on. Camera was fine. Entire cartridge of film developed perfectly.
People call “millennials” young because they are old but too proud to say “teenagers”.
Plus the generational infighting is what the ruling class will use to replace or supplement the culture war.
I think they mean GenZ but this meme looks pretty old so it was probably actuate when it was posted originally.
When millenials were young, they were directly experiencing red eye photos, so there’s no way this meme could have ever been right.
I mean, if it was posted when millennials were young, it is still not at all accurate.
Why can’t pride say teenagers
People still fall for the “generational” bait?
The American generational names only exist because the person who gets to name the new name get a ton of cash to spread the definition, even though those definitions are completely arbitrary.

But that isn’t a picture of a demon. Thats fucking lucifer.
That looks like an edited picture of a human to me.
It’s the character Lucifer from the show Supernatural
Nah it’s Jacob from Lost doing his acting side-gig when he isn’t on the island.
Mhhh… yes, we millenials who are approaching or are already in our 40s… what’s all that red eye stuff about?
One thing I found interesting is!how red-eye reduction works - it pre-flashes you eye briefly, before the main flash. So your pupils constrict and light doesn’t reflect off the bottom of your eyes. Yes, you are part of the mechanism!
Some strange kind of bio-mechanical symbiotic mechanism is that!
But then your subjects relax their pose on the first flash and you have 1/2 the group start walking off by the time the 2nd one flashes.
My dad had an expensive as hell Olympus point and shoot with this. It was so fucking annoying. Took like a half minute for a snap shot and I’d be blind from all the strobing.
So that’s why the choice seems to be between red eyes or tiny pupils. I have some old photos where the surroundings look really dark, the flash on the people makes them look ghostly pale and everyone has unnaturally constricted pupils. If we were trying to avoid demonic pictures, I think we failed.
Fun fact some may find disturbing, when you see a red-eye photo you’re actually looking at the inside of the person’s eyeballs. Red-eye in photos happens when a camera flash reflects off the back of the eye, specifically the choroid, a layer rich in blood vessels behind the retina. When the flash is too quick for the pupil to contract, the light enters the eye and bounces off this red tissue, giving you a great picture of the inside of their eyeballs. I hope everyone enjoys knowing that as much as I have.
And when it’s not red, you have a serious issue going on. This is actually how a couple initially noticed something was wrong with their toddler’s eye. Turned out she had cancer. She’s a healthy adult now, with a glass eye, but I have never looked at red eyes in photographs in a negative way since then.
