I’m a Gen X’er… Not sure if the Lemmy’s word limit on posts would allow me to list it all.
So here are a few:
Drank from the garden hose? Check
Rode in a car without seat belts? As a toddler? As a baby? Check
Rode my bike all over town with no helmet? Had an accident that put me in a coma for 48hrs because of not wearing a helmet? Check
Harvested tobacco on my grandparents farm? Check (Anyone who has done this by hand, working with those stakes knows the risks.)
I started skydiving in the early 90’s. My mother was absolutely appalled and constantly berated me about how “dangerous” it is to jump out of an airplane.
The truth of the matter was I was far safer in free fall than I was during most of my adolescence.

Is drinking from the garden hose actually considered dangerous nowadays? I thought that was just a Boomer meme.
I’m still here.
I keep reading it, so added for comedic effect…
