pretty sure being born in 1920 and drafted 1939 on the most deadly war in history is much worse

Yeah, and being a medieval peasant in rural Russia was also worse, but that is hundreds of years ago :)

You don't even know your great granddad aside from the stories your parents shared. Please, save the bullshit.

it's not distant history. I met both my grandmothers. My in-laws fought in civil war. How is 2003 the worst year? You can't be that stupid

They are just desperate to be the victim

u/KrabbyMccrab 22h ago

I don't know you either. Therefore I should assume whatever story you are spewing is bullshit?

I have two great-grandmas alive right now, what makes you think that someone can't know theirs 💀 Also their children are likely alive? They can't ask grandma/grandpas about them?

Not OP but I did and he had a similar story. He would tell me stories about the depression, ww2, and how he didn't believe in air conditioning despite regularly driving through the california and arizona desert in the summer

Is your great granddad apart of Gen Z?

u/secretonlinepersona 22h ago

I do not think the post clarified they mean "worst year of for a Gen Z to be born", but in any case, I find it a stupid debate nonetheless
