40 shocking simple things Millennials can't do
Millennials are loser's

(NaturalNews) Behold the following list of amazingly simple skills that have somehow escaped Generation Snowflake. This is what happens when an entire society of teachers, parents and spineless community leaders tell young people they're "awesome" and "amazing" even when they're actually rather pathetic and clueless.

As you read this list, recognize that Millennials are just one event away from being removed from the human gene pool via natural selection following almost any disruptive event (power grid failure, natural disasters, war, etc.)

FACT CHECK: Find your closest Millennial neighbor and ask them to carry out anything on this list. If you can find any Millennial who can do any of these things, you may have accidentally stumbled across an Eagle Scout troop meeting. For the rest of today's youth, they're clueless!

Read this and weep for humanity's future...

40 shockingly simple skills that today's pathetic Millennials have no idea how to do
#1) Plant a seed in dirt and grow an edible plant.

#2) Change a bicycle tire.

#3) Sharpen a pencil.

#4) Identify the name of any tree or bird in the real world.

#5) Check the oil level in any engine.

#6) Name a single star in the night sky.

#7) Change a blown fuse in anything (or even reset a circuit breaker).

#8) Drive a stick shift. (Many don't even know what "stick shift" means.)

#9) Navigate using a printed map without using GPS.

#10) Strike a punching bag without injuring their frail, fragile wrists.

#11) Repair a broken garden hose without throwing it away and buying a new hose.

#12) Stop bleeding with a tourniquet.

#13) Cut a piece of wood in a straight line using a hand saw.

#14) Carry a 50 lb. bag of animal feed on their shoulder for 50 meters.

#15) Cook a real meal that isn't "instant" or microwaveable.

#16) Start a camp fire, even with a lighter.

Re: 40 shocking simple things Millennials can't do
The real list is waaaaaay longer than 40 things. I was born in 82 yet I cannot identify as a millennial. I get along better with the greatest generation. Some gen xers too. My parents are boomers and I have a hard time relating with them.

Maybe we need to put them in military, for 2 years, if they

can't work.

Force them to become men and women, not basement dwellers.

Re: 40 shocking simple things Millennials can't do
- All News PipeLine

So often we see the terms "millennial" and "snowflake," in reference to what we are witnessing across the nation's college campuses, where what is said meets demands for speech police, what is worn is called "racist" or receives accusations of "culture appropriation," what groups you belong to, who you choose to speak in your groups, are all subject to protests, claims of victimhood, the need for "trigger warnings" or a safe place to hide from any opinion that they disagree with.

Well I have some bad news for those of that grew up understanding that when we became "adults" we were expected to become self-sufficient and responsible." Now millennials have redefined the word "adult" meaning they can "self-identify" as one when they have "moved out of their parents’ home, have a job, and pay their own bills."

Here is the kicker: The average age these millennials "self-identify as adults is 30 years old. Meaning half are older and half are younger than that, making 30 the average. So some millennials do not consider themselves "adults" until 40. According to a new study by Abodo, an average of 34.1 percent of millennials in the U.S. still live at home with their parents.

According to Elite Daily, "millennials are shaping up to be the largest workforce ever," making up 36 percent of the workforce, (by 2030 that number is expected to rise to 75 percent) with approximately 80 million millennials in the United States, making them the "largest living generation." 



It is very interesting to note the justification that the Abodo writer attempts to give for the reason so many millennials live at home, in their conclusion, which  blames "high rents" stating millennials aren't earning as much as their parents did when they were the same age. 

Additionally, wages aren’t increasing at the same rate as rents. In all of the cities we examined — MSAs with more than 1 million residents — Millennials living at home earned a median monthly income of $1,121 — nearly $1,000 less than the median monthly income of all Millennials, which was $2,023. Do they earn less because they don’t need to be paying rent? Or are they staying with parents because median rents account for nearly their entire paycheck?

I call foul, they just offered a false choice, because other information shows exactly why millennials tend to earn less than their parents did in relation to rent or mortgage, and it is called a work ethic or in their case a lack

I blame single mother upbringing for that list. If dad isnt around to teach those basic skills they never learn them. We had an employee at my work who poured diesel fuel in a skid-steer loader radiator. And another guy said cut him a break he didnt have a father around to train him up!

Just cap the bottle and let it set in the sunshine for 30-45 minutes. The ultraviolet rays kill the bacteria.
