Welcome to Only Good Internet, where I give you a little bit of good internet content, as a treat.<\/p>\n

I want to talk to my fellow millennials for a bit, here (Gen X, you, too). Because I came across this tweet this week:<\/p>\n

And the replies are SO MUCH FUN. It\u2019s a real trip down memory lane, and the lane is littered with all the dumb stuff we used to do \u201cback in the day.\u201d Like, for example:<\/p>\n

Then there was this one (a classic):<\/p>\n

\u2026That Gen Z answers the phone and doesn\u2019t say anything<\/a>. Apparently, this is a thing: Zoomers will answer the phone and, instead of saying \u201chello,\u201d they\u2019ll wait there silently for the person calling to speak first.<\/p>\n

This is the cutest dang thing I\u2019ve seen in a while:<\/p>\n

\u201cSir, there\u2019s a situation on platform 2!\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t tell me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

I always like to finish every week by leaving you with a little something that I can\u2019t get out of my head. This week, it\u2019s all about this thought:<\/p>\n

That’s all for this week, see you later! And remember, if you want more like this, you can subscribe to the Only Good Internet<\/a> newsletter (if you want, I mean, don’t let me tell you what to do, ya know?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gen Z Phone Anxiety Tops This Week’s Internet Buzz What you’re about to read is an issue of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":84206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[57114,57115,57116,712,158,37421,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-84205","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-bestofinternet-memes","9":"tag-bestofinternet-tiktok","10":"tag-bestofinternet-tumblr","11":"tag-internet","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-topical","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114899020964119045","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
