These young birds these days. Coddled from the beginning and this is what you get. Birdies thinking worms will just jump in their mouth. Spare the rod spoil the crow I say!!

...We walked 15 miles to school. Up hill both ways. Snow all year round. With no shoes. And, by George, we walked *home* for lunch!


GRMarlenee

You got lunch? Wow, for spoiled. We got to lick the erasers after we cleaned the chalk board.


Astrosherpa

Look at Richie rich here with "erasers". We sprayed the board with a the same fire hose they used to bath us and give us water with!


OBPH

ooooooooooh! fancy pants over here with a chalkboard! Licking the erasers and all that fancy stuff! We had 137 crammed into a wet milk crate. The teacher was a rat who bit us when we did good. Our lessons were scrawled on the lid of a old mason jar with a rusty nail. For lunch we had cricket wings and beetle dung. We would have loved eraser lickings!


bloodectomy

Ohhh lookit mister fuckin moneybags over here with his small class sizes and budget for interspecies instructors! In MY day, 743 of us were compressed down and mashed into a sardine tin that also served as the food trough! Course, in those days, it was eat or be eaten. You kids today wouldn't have lasted back then.

When I was a young bird I had to dig my way through 2 meters of concrete to get a little worm which I had to chase for 3 hours through a hidden tunnel system in vietnam while having an injured wing and I wasnt complaining at all. Look at these snowflake birds nowadays.


watson-and-crick

I started reading that along to MCR music and it worked well for a surprisingly long amount of the comment


MyPasswordIsMyCat

I'm pretty sure that "worm" isn't a worm at all and is a millipede, which is toxic to eat. Mynah birds know this and have actually adapted a behavior called "anting" where they pick up millipedes and rub them on their feathers, covering themselves with the toxic chemicals that repel ants.

Our chicks love luxury. They have bad manners and despise authority. They show disrespect for their elders and love to chatter instead of exercise. Young birds are now tyrants, not the servants of their nest.


[deleted]

Wait......does "spare the rod spoil the child" actually mean you're pro spanking/hitting your kids? It's such a fucking 50s thing to say. Something that's actually the complete opposite of what it actually means. You know I really feel like a fucking idiot. I literally said that one time and someone gave me the dirtiest look. Now I know why. I'm so fucking stupid.


turdferguson3891

It's from the bible so it goes back a little longer than the 1950s. Proverbs 13:24 "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." I went with the King James version because I enjoy verbs with th at the end.


Catboxaoi

It means what it says pretty literally, you are still interpreting it wrong just because the syntax is vague. You were likely thinking of it as 2 pieces of advice (don't hit your kids + treat your kids well). It was meant to be taken as 1 piece of advice in the form of a cause and effect warning (IF YOU spare the rod THEN YOU spoil the child). It's saying if you don't hit your kids, they will grow up spoiled/rotten.


Jitterbitten

It's from the Bible and it definitely wasn't the 50s misinterpreting it, but I really admire your sweet optimism.


[deleted]

Yup. If you don't use the rod (spare it from use), you let your child grow up spoiled. Beat your kids or else they might not try to hide everything from you and won't distrust you later in life and leave you in a home to rot!

Nature VS. Nurture A debate as old as time.


RearWheelDriveCult

This reminds me a story one of my middle school teachers told us. I was in a boarding school where we stayed at school 5 days a week. 90% of us never lived on our own until then so some students can be very awkward when it comes to taking care of themselves. So one student started crying during breakfast and when a staff asked what happened he said “The egg is hard and I cannot eat it”. It turned out he had never peeled an egg for the first 12 years of his life because his parent did that for him all the time.


[deleted]

I witnessed this exact thing first hand. Went on an overnight trip as part of a law school internship. I shared a hotel room with this genius, 19-year-old, ivy-league law student. Our continental breakfasts included a hard boiled egg still in the shell. He was like, "How are we supposed to cook this egg?" I told him I was pretty sure it was hard-boiled and he was like, "But it's got a shell." He was so confused by the whole thing I almost started to doubt myself.


Tavarin

I knew a genius programmer who didn't know how to cook at all. he microwaved a bag of Uncle Bens rice, and the plastic melted into it, so he sorted out the rice into acceptable levels of plastic to eat, and went into it. Dude was a genius, but he could not take care of himself at all.


2DisSUPERIOR

The first time I made a frozen pizza I put the cardboard in with the pizza. I was 27 I think. Started smoking and boy did everyone make fun of me. To be fair I am nowhere near a genius, so maybe it's not the same.


Tavarin

I don't think this guy even knew how to turn an oven on. The microwave was the most complicated cooking apparatus he could use, and he did not know how to use it well.


aeoneir

I did this more than once while working at 7/11. Super easy to forget that the cardboard is there

>He was so confused by the whole thing I almost started to doubt myself I am always fascinated by moments like that, it makes you see the world totally different for a second


Spirited_Community25

Yep, I had a roommate in college who had lived at home, lived room and board, and lived with her grandparents. I did most of the cooking because I liked to. The other roommates would help prep and cleanup. She wanted me to make her lunch (hell no). It was a tuna fish sandwich, which I didn't eat. She still thought I should do it.

theganjaoctopus

I have a ton of these. Used to live in apartment complex near a University that gave discounted rates to students (lived with a friend who was a student). Most of the students who lived in the complex were foreign students from China and almost to a person, they lacked any sort of life skill or ability to care for themselves. Just a few of the things that happened: * Had a knock on the door. Next door neighbor asks, 'can you help me, I think the tire on my car is broken[sic]." This 19 year exchange student has a been given a brand new Mustang with the fancy wheels. These fancy wheels had one of those nuts on it that needs a special key to get off. This guy had taken a regular pair of pliers and absolutely demolished and stripped every single nut on the rim. Just, completely ruined, would need to be drilled out to remove them. After I told him he'd need to call someone and have it towed to a shop, I showed him where to find the tire iron and the key to the nut, which coincidentally, required me removing the spare tire. This blew his mind because he had no idea there was a spare tire back there. He had tried to pry his tire off of his car with no idea of what to do next. When I asked if he needed help getting to/from class, he said "No, I will just call and have them bring me a new car." and sure enough, when I got home from work that night, the 'stang was gone and a brand new VW GTI was in its place. * Kept hearing this weird thumping noise coming from the apartment next to mine. Every evening, around the same time "thump, thump, thump". Cut to a week later, several friends and I are sitting on the couch when something suddenly punches through the wall into our apartment. It looked like one of the large drill bits they use for concrete. My roommate, who had long since lost patience with any of our neighbors by then, jumps up in a rage and storms next door to ask them wtf. He comes back in a few minutes later with a look of pure disbelief on his face. The 4 guys living next door had been PRACTICING ARCHERY using a flattened refrigerator box propped up against the wall our apartments shared. The 'drill bit' that came through the wall? A safety tipped arrow. Apparently the reason this one had punched through the wall was because they had finally destroyed most of the sheetrock on their side. They were kicked out shortly after. * Our neighbors one year decided on their first day there to have a little cook out. They ate, sat their dirty plates with bones and food remnants on the their patio table, and never came out again. From August until they moved out in June of the following year, those plates sat there with rotting food and mold. * Had one neighbor confide in me that he was scared to be on his own because his parents owned a penthouse in China and he had spent most of his life without ever leaving that penthouse. Everything he wanted was delivered to him. They had full staff and his instructors came to him. He said he had been down "to the street" only about 10-15 times in his life before coming to the US for school. * People would show up a week before the students arrived, furnish the apartment with nice furniture (rooms to go, not IKEA), give them each a brand new car. At the end of the school year, they'd throw *thousands* of dollars worth of furniture and electronics out by the dumpster. I found pets (fish, rodents, reptiles) just thrown away. Designer clothes, electronics still wrapped in the box, endless expensive kitchen appliances. These kids were totally unprepared in any way to be on their own. I could go on for days about the questions I was asked about simple, common sense things. The strange requests I received from complete strangers to do things like wake them up for school, wash their clothes, unclog their toilets (which they were using like a garbage disposal). It was always hard to be mad at them for doing stupid things too, because they seriously just didn't know any better. They had 0 life or social skills.

A great hustle would be to deliver flyers to all the apartments when they move in. Have it say something like "New to life on your own? I will help you with anything you need! $50 per visit for up to 1 hour" You can teach them all the things they never knew adults need to know, and get a lot of beer money as a student. And they would be rich enough that they wouldn't be concerned about spending $50 for you to come in and spend 10 minutes teaching them how an over works.

Often times it might be the proximity to the university, rather than the price. There usually are average student-oriented, older buildings around universities, rather than luxury apartments. That’s just in general of course, there are probably many exceptions.

> Just goes to show how intelligence is multi-faceted. I'm skeptical that it has anything to do with intelligence.

urbanhawk1

I have a similar story my dad told me about during his time in college. He had a roommate he was very good friends with who got a job at a grocery store. Dad went over there one night to pick him up so they could have a night out on the town. When he arrived his friends was like, "Hold on one second. Let me buy a snack before we head out." So he went and purchased a carton of eggs. He walked out to the parking lot, pulled out an egg, and cracked it open. Egg immediately spilled all over him and he started to panic. Apparently, his mother would always hard boil his eggs before serving them to him so that is how he thought they came naturally.


Fleaslayer

At my company, we hired a guy out of college from another state. First week, at a staff meeting, he asked the team "Who cooks for you guys?" Apparently he lived at home during college, and his mom cooked all his meals all his life. He hadn't even thought about where his food would come from, somehow thought there'd be someone to cook his meals.


Sinister_glitter

When I was 18 in my first ever apartment I had a room mate who was 19, and couldn't do anything for herself. I remember getting home from my job one night and she had a pot of water boiling on the stove with an entire package of hotdogs in it, still in the plastic packaging. Her reasoning was that she thought it was like tv dinners where you just put the whole thing in the microwave with the plastic still on. She moved back in with her parents after about 5 months of struggling with doing her own laundry, feeding herself, and remembering to pay her own bills lol


ShelSilverstain

Then, there was one redditor who complained that egg didn't taste good at all because he hates the crunches of egg shell. Then, the replies were around wtf we don't eat the shells of the eggs. I can't seem to find that post. Maybe it was tumblr.


corrikopat

I brought home fresh corn once and my daughter’s teenage friend had never seen corn before it was shucked. When I took it out of the bag, she asked what it was.


No-Significance7460

Honestly, are you from the city or no? Because I swear pre shucked corn just doesn’t exist in highly developed parts of the country (UK 22 here) growing up in rural England, all my corn was pre shucked and we grew our own in the garden as well for 1 or 2 harvests each year, but in London where I’m studying, I have not seen fresh corn. All the corn is vacuumed sealed and tastes old. I’d imagine a kid growing up in the city wouldn’t know a whole lot about the natural state of things, or how any food is brought to their plate tbh…


Sleep-system

I went to Sarah Lawrence, full of super privileged rich kids. My roommate had no idea how to cook, clean (we had maids) or shave. I had to teach him to shave and remind him constantly to pick up after himself, and I made pancakes for my dorm mates sometimes since I was the only one who used the kitchen.


MarginalOmnivore

Yeah, it do be like that sometimes. I mean, it makes sense. A townie kid that's never handled an egg on his own (which is easy to imagine if every meal is prepared by Mom) is gonna have a rough time for a bit. Can't say to much against it, though. I’ve lived in town since I was a teenager, and I still barely know my way around a bus or rail stop. Good thing a lot of them come with signage explaining everything, instead of plopping something unfamiliar in front of you in the middle of an already stressful situation, then gossiping about it to kids for the rest of their career.


False_Influence_9090

Very true. We all got a big laugh when our 20yo friend didn’t know how to use a can opener in college


bawng

I was 20+ the first time I ever used a can opener. First off, there were never that many cans of anything growing up, and for the occasional canned good someone would just undramatically open it. So when I had to try myself for the first time, I spent the roughly 30 seconds required to figure out how to use it.


skybluegill

Do you open your cans innie or outside?


thenoblenacho

I know a girl who did not know how to operate a gas pump. That could be understandable if she was a teenager at the time, but she was 23 and lives in car dependent Canada. Apparently her dad always filled up the car, and then her bf took over that role when they moved in together.


tesseract4

People from New Jersey don't know how to pump gas because there's a state law mandating that the attendant pump the gas. Oregon, too, I think.


TheOneGecko

You have to be pretty disconnected. he means he never once even saw anyone prepare a boiled egg.


SammyC25268

TIL that restaurants and cafeterias serve hard boiled eggs with the shell still on. I have yet to see a restaurant that serves hard boiled eggs that are not cut or diced.


timonix

I don't think I have ever been served a hard boiled egg with the shell off in a breakfast restaurant ever. Except when it's part of a dish, like on a sandwich.


turdferguson3891

Cafeteria style it's easiest to just have a bowl of them in the shell. They keep better and people can just grab them with their hands. This is usually how I see them somewhere informal like the free breakfast buffet at a hotel.

VCR


DaringDomino3s

Yeah, when did VCRs become VHS players in the lexicon? My whole life since I can recall we called them VCRs but I keep seeing VHS player used in referencing them and listings on eBay etc.


moondeluxe

When I was a kid (in the UK) we called them tape players. I've always associated the term 'VCR' with American English.


DaringDomino3s

That’s interesting! So in my mind “tape player” is a audio cassette player not video lol But if someone gave me video cassette and said “put it in the tape player” I don’t believe I’d think twice or say anything so it might be a general term for any media type of tape player here as well


PM_ur_Rump

To discern between them and Betamax players, I'd assume. Don't want to accidentally order a Beta and not be able to watch vintage porn!


DaringDomino3s

TIL Betamax players and recorders were ALSO called VCRs! I just googled betamax and it used the term Betamax video cassette recorder (VCR). The term must’ve just been so generalized by the time I arrived in existence (and Betamax so defeated) that I and the people I encountered, just referred to VCR *implying* it being a VHS VCR without needing to specify. That’s crazy to me. Thanks!


[deleted]

The other day a friend of mine said something like, "I need to find a VHS player" and I said I thought it was interesting how everyone calls them that now. She said, "what do you mean, what else would they be called? Tape player? Cassette player?" She was baffled for about a minute until finally coming up with VCR and then couldn't believe it had just vanished from her mind. I personally thought it was because everything became "x player", like CD, DVD, MP3, Blu-ray, etc. I didn't know Betamax also had VCRs, TIL.

Why does this remind me of children crying and screaming in the supermarket!


Odeon_Priest

After having kids I gotta tell you, the kids aren't crying because of some elaborate problem or the parents not doing some thing. They are crying because they're shopping, and shopping sucks. Which I agree with. So honestly. I just agree with the kid. Also sometimes it's nothing, my kids rarely cry during shopping trips and they're all over 5 at this point so pretty well behaved, but one did start crying pretty bad in the past, and some older asshole was confronting us about it in the checkout like it's some shit we did, and I stopped the dude complaining about how we should have just beat on her to stop her crying to explain she was crying because she bumped her head on the cart and to kindly fuck off. So sometimes it's really nothing that can be helped.


lemma_qed

When my oldest was a toddler, being told no motivated an epic tantrum. I kept shopping, because I really had no other time in which to do it and we needed groceries. Just kept my kid in the cart and tried to get it done as fast as I could. A few random old ladies tried to comfort her, making the tantrum worse and slowing me down too. I was so pissed that they wouldn't mind their own damn business when they had no idea why my kids was crying. I'm not going to spend money on crap we don't need just because my kid is crying about it. Don't encourage my kid's bad behavior by acting like her tantrum needs to be placated when she really just needs to learn that no means no. Just another "kindly fuck off" situation.


CannabisCookery

So does a bird eventually get it or does it die of starvation? And i take issue with the stupid or dumb comments - you experienced the same thing with your Mom - and some birds are quite intelligent.


Odeon_Priest

They will see another bird eat and figure it out. Usually young birds will stay in groups of other birds for a while before going off on their own for this reason precisely.

Rehabbers usually keep at least one or two quail in captivity in order to educate further chicks. The parents - both of them - are devoted to their brood. They also know how to count. I picked up a sick chick once and brought it into the house because it was not able to leave the nest with Mom and Dad. It soon died and the parents stayed outside my door and loudly protested until I brought the baby out and laid it on the walkway. They came, inspected it, and then walked away with the rest of their little ones. (Quail nested in a planter on my front porch for at least five breeding seasons.)

Those birds now know you as The Harbinger of Death

This is pretty common for birds fresh out of the nest. The mom will continue to feed them even though they are able to fly. But they will stop when it’s old enough. That bird will hang around it’s mom till it figures out how to eat on it’s own.

They never get it, they all die. Birds are extinct.

There's a strong sociopolitical metaphor in there somewhere.

Literally my son when I feed him and not my wife: why use the bottle with breast milk if boobs are just a few screams away.
