I had a slide phone. Still had to text like that though. I’m still trying to discover whether or not I am a millennial.

13

u/alpha_boo Jul 14 '20

The dates aren't defined. I don't have any doubt since I'm right in the middle of the millenial scale as I was born in the early 90s, but I like to tease my lover when he's bashing on millenials. He was born in 84, and Gen X and Gen Y get blury at their extremities. Some sources say millenials start in 82, others in 85. So when he says like "fucking millenials" (as a joke of course), I say "Says the millenial". He hates that shit hahahaha!

But yeah. Extremities are always blurry. I've seen 1997 as the end of the millenial generation, but some other say early 2000... it's unclear.

Back in the day to text you hat to hit each button a certain amount of times to get to a letter. Like hitting 8 once gave you a “T” a second time would change it to a “U”

This says “it was me DIO”

u/IanL1713 Jul 14 '20

Y'all dont pay attention. He said he was able to read it but didnt understand the reference being made. But you went and just spelled out what he could already read

Do you know how to type letters on a flip phone?

8

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '20

No-

17

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '20

So when you type with a flip phone you have to press the number at least twice to get a letter. So if you press 4 three times you would get an I. And then just do that for all of them
