Same story with "The youth of today" complaints.

There are texts dating back to Roman times complaining about how "the youth of today" are lazy and feckless and have no respect

@mloxton @paulisci Yup. And people have been whinging that "the old days were better!" literally for millennia. Ecclesiastes 7:10: "Say not, 'Why were the former days better than these?' For it is not from wisdom that you ask this."

(Personally, I think everything's gone downhill since our ancestors left the oceans, and that the decline accelerated when we left the trees.)

@msbellows @mloxton @paulisci This whole bipedalism thing just wasn't well thought out, in my opinion.

@msbellows @mloxton @paulisci related: people have been complaining about "kids these days" since Babylonia. I find it comforting that we're still the same people across the millennia.
