There are school-aged people on Lemmy? I assumed the vast majority are older millennials (with a touch of gray), who are also Linux users, not straight, and have some level of obsession with Star Trek and — God knows why — beans.
Commie grey millennial here. I’m a drug and alcohol counselor in a prison. I teach a group on opioid overdose prevention to the inmates, but no clue what they teach in school.
A while ago (soon after the Reddit exodus, but I can’t recall specifically when) it seemed like every other post on Lemmy was just shitposting bean memes. I still see beans referenced periodically. But if your experience on Lemmy was strictly highly curated you may have not experienced the beans.
Pro tip: if you want to mess with an older millennial, say something like “I was born in 2005… Yeah I’ll be turning 19 this year” to which the older millennial will say “the fuck? 19? But 2005 was like 5 years ago” and then watch them proceed to have an existential crisis.
Also: it’s cool to see so many younger people using Linux. I remember my friends and I in high school all trying Slackware Linux and congratulating anyone that actually got it to work with all their hardware.
They’ve made almost everything work! On M1 and M2 models, only things that don’t work are: thunderbolt, USBC displays and Touch ID. Vulkan support is on the works, and everything else works amazing

at least in germany, they barely teach anything. they had an alcoholic over once for an hour who basically just said “don’t drink too much alcohol”.
Gen X, hetero, use linux, smoke pot, watch star trek. I went to the Doobie Brothers concert.
There are dozens of us!
So this is how I find out I’m not straight? It’s not that I expected.
This is how I found I out like beans, so I feel you man
Beans would probably make Waluigi’s buttplug talk.
It won him a chess game for sure
I’m not gay (yet?) but after using lemmy for a while the rest is now pretty accurate.
Yet 😏
I’m 13, straight and not a big fan of star trek.
I do use Linux, though.
But what is your position on beans? You’re strangely quite on that subject. 🤨
B E A N S
You’re me, but 20 years younger…
Same. I also hate BEANS.
Do you have matrix?
That is alarmingly accurate.
I’m a gen Z currently in college! =)
I’m gen Z and I think, that there are a lot of us.
I’m graduating 12th grade this year, so idk what you’re on about
am teenager
am also need time to move to linux
You described me perfectly except for the Linux bit (and I do t have greys, those are the natural variation in my hair’s pigment).
Unless you count my home assistant/Plex server running Linux makes me a ‘Linux user’…
That’s a Linux server, I’d count it 😛
Beans are great. That’s why. Staples of my pantry: pasta, rice, beans (pinto, black, lentils, red, kidney) , ramen, nuts.
Beans? Am I missing something?

Seems like I missed all the fun…
Yeah, you should’ve bean there.
2005 kid who just got into uni. Straight, moderate, Linux user

Better yet, im running it on a Mac :P (see asahi Linux)
Neat! Does it recognise all of the hardware? How does it perform?

Who else got their gamer socks on?
There’s a reason why they call us Gen Xers the forgotten generation…
Sorry for the Gen X erasure 😞
I feel like it’s mostly minors here
