      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.

        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.

            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.

      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.

    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.

        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.

    Millennials are between 29 and 44. They are turning into the old generation.

    This meme feels like it is 10 or more years old.

      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 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.

    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.
