   Remember the Calhoun Mice Experiment, when towards the end the male mice all became gay, non-functional hermits?
   
   This tweet about Zoomers kinda reminded me of that

     I remember being in disbelief that a single beer cost $5 at the bar, and that was fifteen years ago. Plus the music being too loud to even think clearly

     I thought going to the bar sucked when I was 21 and my opinion hasn't changed

     @DW2 no one has friends to go out with. Do you want to be the lone guy at the bar?

     I can’t say I blame them for staying home. Modern America really makes it impossible to have any sort of social network

     @DW2 it really does. Something I’ve observed is zoomers who wander around neighborhoods. Sometimes for hours. Like they wanted to get out, but don’t have anywhere to go, or wanted to go hiking, but don’t have a car, so they just wander until they’re tired and go inside.

     Kids could go spend $120 drinking grocery store swill at a bar with all the fat old guys reliving the 80’s, but instead they’d rather buy 2 whole video games to get 2,000 hours of entertainment and surrogate accomplishment!”

     “in my day, we used to impregnate mulatto women and skip town! Now these losers won’t even cold approach a latina! The west has fallen”

     As usual in the boomer v. zoomer debate, they’re both right in some ways

     Bars are always full of weirdos, miscreants, and people who can't get their lives together. Literally the least relaxing environment I can think of
     
     Whoever was posting about an "energy drink bar" for millennials a few days ago was on to something

     We could start a bar like that where we basically spike the drinks with “nootropics” and just put a little dash of modafinil in the taurine piss
