Boomer forgot how millennials are old enough to have had to have film developed.
Pissed the hell out of my boomer photography enthusiast dad. Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.

“How many times do I have to tell you not to open the camera door?! You can’t see the picture yet!”
Somehow, I ruined every photo he took off me.
Our level of rebellion knows no bounds!
Red eyes also happen on digital photos.
Well you gotta stop taking photos of me just after I’ve smoked a fat joint, man!
I’m gen z and I still remember that time.
Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”
The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.
Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll officially transition to “30s to mid 40s.”
Wow thanks I’m going to go cry now
Don’t leave me high. Don’t leave me dry-igh-igh…
And people acting like “boomers” are now usually Gen-x.
True. It is not a boomer who made that meme. It is either a troll or yet another bitter Gen X.
: Takes a sip of a juice pouch:
It is true. A millennial becomes more bitter with age.
: smacks tongue, eyes roll back as though recalling a childhood memory:
But millennials have these… : swishes liquid millennial over palate:
Bracing tannins that challenge you and require further observation.

And he pondered, how DID he find himself at some sort of pre-historic blood ritual? Was this not his beautiful wife? Was this not his beautiful car?
Is bait.
Red eye happens because of the flash. So still happens on digital cameras. It’s just nowadays they automatically detect and correct for it after the shot has taken. Or some cameras can do a pre flash before the flash for the shot fires or a light turns on when you half press the shutter button. That way the pupil will shrink and less light will enter the pupil and not light up the back of the eye.
I hate cameras that do the pre-flash with a burning passion, there’s a period in time where every (flash) photo of me either has me with my eyes closed or visibly straining to keep them open.
“Millenials” just means “people younger than me” now.
And at the same time, “boomer” means anyone over 50, somehow. Soon I will be a boomerlennial.
As a Xennial, this terrifies me, but I’m thankful I’m old enough to dodge the draft when the first round happens.
I hope I never have to utilize the skills GI Joe taught me.

Even the digitals you had in the 00’s didn’t have very good red eye correction (if any at all)
My oldest nephew was born in 2003 and I was still having to manually remove red eye using Paintshop Pro 7 from my mum’s digital photos of him when was about 6 or 7.
It was so bad that the PC software that came with the camera often had a red eye removal feature. I remember being fascinated when I figured out you could use it on things other than eyes and it just took the red out of anything.
I immediately jumped to magical thinking and every person you took a picture of was robbed of blood.
Before anyone asks, yes, I’m on the line with RL Stine as we speak.
bait
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
For some reason I feel like these rules were written by a gen x but iDK why

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.
People still fall for the “generational” bait?
The American generational names only exist because the person who gets to name the new name get a ton of cash to spread the definition, even though those definitions are completely arbitrary.

But that isn’t a picture of a demon. Thats fucking lucifer.
That looks like an edited picture of a human to me.
It’s the character Lucifer from the show Supernatural
Nah it’s Jacob from Lost doing his acting side-gig when he isn’t on the island.
Millennial? No we don’t we were there the whole time…
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.
Mhhh… yes, we millenials who are approaching or are already in our 40s… what’s all that red eye stuff about?
I’m a millennial and my first camera used film cassettes similar to these ones.
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.
Mate I’m a millennial and I had my photos developed at the chemists. You’re thinking of gen z.
You’re thinking of young gen z. I am gen z and as a kid I also had some of my photos developed.
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.
I believe they are name gen alpha or some other greek letter.
I can’t wait to see how Gen Delta turns out.
Gen alpha surely. But also the younger gen z I would think. Afaik gen z starts around the end of the 90s
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.
How, uh, young do you think millennial are exactly? Pretty much all of us were around for cameras before phones.
I, Gen Z, am old enough too remember the red eyes on photos? What is this trying to say xd
I’m GenZ and I remember when Abraham Lincoln gave a speech at my school.
Some people don’t get it
I’m a millennial and I remember when Abraham Lincoln walked past the window at school and smiled and waved.
He was going to the bathroom.
I’m GenZ and Skibidi Rizzler Ohio
Ok, boomer.
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!
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.
After holiday dinners, my grandpa would bust out the faux-leather bound Polaroid, mount it to a tripod and tell us all to stop moving, “It’s not a movie camera!” Then he’d be amazed it was almost ready 5 seconds later. Every single time.
I remember when a flash was essentially an exploding bulb. Before me, they made a pop sound. In the 70s, there were cubes that rotated so you’d get multiple uses, IIRC. The real pros later had strobes but also, just bouncing the light off the ceiling and such cut down on the red eye which was really about light shooting directly into the eyes. That direct light also created harsh shadows and washed out features.
My shirt 110 camera had a plug(boot?) that you could stick a bar of eight flash bulbs in to. Every picture triggered a super satisfying ‘snick!’ and one of the bulbs would be blown out.
I guess that’s better than igniting a pile of phosphorous for illumination, but, what a waste!
