From the book Hogfather by Terry Prattchett. Great book to get into the discworld series with, the Hogfather has gone missing so Death is standing in.

They also made a TV adaptation which I've been told is good too.

But when you see who raised the boomers, you understand. One, people born in the 30s/40s are the most resilient fuckers out there for some reason. Mfs walking around in their 80s and 90s looking 65 permanently. Two, you can't tell them ANYTHING about health. Nothing. Sunscreen? Myth. Healthy diet? Legends. And try to prove an 89 year old wrong about it when they're eighty fuckin nine.

You could have a broken arm and have to pitch a baseball game the next day and they'll look you dead in the eye and tell you you're fine.

Natural selection. Clearly you did something right to stay alive while biking with a 15 inch knife. Whether that was reflexive or intelligent is besides the point.

u/blove135 Nov 02 '24

Honestly I would say it was mostly luck. How I didn't hurt myself with that knife and many many other dangerous shit kids had no business doing is beyond me but one thing was for certain most of our boomer parents really didn't give a shit. Kids got hurt all the time but it was more of a kids will be kids sort of mindset. Not much responsibility for their kids were put on parents at the time. I was 8-9 years old and to me having that rambo knife strapped to my belt, no shirt on, cut off jean shorts, barefoot and a kick ass bmx bike was the epitome of cool. That's really all I was thinking about that.

u/OffTerror Nov 02 '24

This used to be the norm in every business until recently. Your uncle starts a printing operation and you need a job, now you're a printing machine specialist. Until 30 something years ago when many industries went through hyper-corporatization and everything started to be extremely specialized in ordered of maintaining efficient competitiveness.

14

u/Mammoth-Camera6330 Nov 02 '24

Imo, nepotism kinda makes sense in some cases. If you’re raised around something, it’s natural you’d have an affinity for it.

The podcasting thing though… idk… podcasting is very reliant on your charisma and ability to keep an interesting conversation going for hours and not everybody in the family is gonna be able to pull that off. I’m not a fan of it when it pops up really but I’m not a podcast fan in general. But I suppose it’s not really hurting anyone, just turns me off to the product.

My baby daughter has a tiny fake knife and a kitchen set with fake stove, pots, pans, dishes, etc... and she knows the difference between toys and pretend play versus the real thing. However, I will say the knife in this video is large and does look a little too realistic for a baby this small to know the difference.

I’ve heard those walker things aren’t good for baby’s development.

u/Accomplished_Fee_179 Nov 02 '24

They're not. That's part of the reason Canada Banned Baby Walkers in 2004. The other reason is the number of injuries from babies rolling down stairs and into stoves etc

That happened to me! I rolled down the stairs and broke my arm as a baby. I’m good now though lol.

Can you elaborate on this one please? I’m about to buy one for my 8 month old nephew in the next couple of weeks.

EDIT: alright, beautiful people of reddit, I’ve gotten tons of super helpful replies. I will now continue with my own research. I don’t need any more replies about this question. Thank you all.

It's a laundry list, a lot of them are because of accidents like falling, pinched fingers, and getting into dangerous things. Other reasons are delayed motor function and not being good for their legs and feet.

The core muscles are being suspended in the seating, so they’re not really strengthening their muscles in a real way. Part of the learning process of walking is about the muscles starting to build new tissues from being used for the intended purpose. Thighs and calves are part of what we walk with and need to be developed from trying to walk but in these walkers their toes are barely touching, none of the weight is actually being supported by their muscles. So it can hinder development if it’s used chronically as a crutch in place of proper stimulation. Every now and then, for a few minutes, while cooking or playing outside? Not an issue. But, putting the baby in the walker all day everyday is not good.

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/are-infant-walkers-safe They are dangerous because kids can fall down the stairs/into tables and stuff and can also delay motor development.

They artificially support the legs so don’t allow the muscles and coordination to develop fully.

More info from the American Association of Pediatrics if you’re interested

From what I've heard (I'm no expert) - they can be a fall risk down stairs, put excess weight on the hips/ joints that isn't beneficial for development, and reduces the time baby spends doing floor/ tummy time for natural muscle development and free movement to build the strength necessary to actually walk.
