I swear, some of these boomer comics are just the person wanting to tell a shitty joke they thought of.

Isn't that what all comics are? Lol
I've had a pretty bad and long relationship at one point in my life, I'm not exactly a young man anymore, and I still don't understand why the fuck anyone would think this shit is even remotely funny.
"Hard drive" is funny I guess because it can be interpreted two different ways.
This is the kind of shit that grandpa prints out and gives to you.
Before elbowing you in the ribs, handing you a lint-covered butterscotch candy, and lighting a cigarette while hacking up a lung.
It funny because Family Bad™
Hur dur Boomer humor.
Needs 30% more hating their wife for no reason at all.
The whole “hating my wife” thing has been around for a really long time. I hope my generations tiresome jokes aren’t just based on shitting on people like so many boomer jokes seem to be.
Wonder what my generation’s shitty joke legacy will be.
Right now with the youth it's shitting on people who disagree
Someone pointed out that every generation eventually becomes the next generations boomers.
This is boomer hoomer done right not like that other poster.
Hard drive good, phone bad.
Phone bad, wife bad, young people bad
I can confirm. Not even loved ones make that drive easy. The Rockies are hard to drive over. Fucking beautiful, but scary
Those passes are an affront to the gods. Man was never meant to traverse them in a pleather seat with climate control.
You gotta use the roads, it makes it a little bit easier
Ooh yeah that part going down Eastward past Vail is a hell of a nightmare drive. That road needs to be repaved every year with their rough Winters, even still the ruts in the road will keep trying to throw you into the next lane, while you're trying so hard to stay in your own lane, and the ruts in the road sound like you burst a tire. It's two hours of white knuckle driving.
It was Montana westward past Yellowstone. I spent my life in the loving embrace of just west of the Appalachians and so I thought that since I've done my share of driving through Kentucky it would be bad but bearable. Then it started snowing at waist height in late spring. I wasn't prepared for that.
The Rockies are the best part. Fuck fucking Nebraska though.

Did HDDs stop existing? Someone tell my NAS.
Hard drives are going to be one of those in between things that Gen x/millennials will understand, but were already obsolete by the time Gen z rolled around.
Pfff next thing you'll tell me is that 3.5" floppies are obsolete too?
hard drives are still relevant for bulk storage
True, but most consumers aren't doing bulk storage. Most people just have cell phone and laptop
you must find really boring people
I’m confused, I call both HDDs and SSDs hard drives or disks. What’s the non-obsolete term?
HDD is hard disk drive. SSD is solid-state drive. Though I still use the term "hard drive" to refer to both of them.
I know what the acronyms mean. But I refer to them both as hard drive.
HDD mean Hard drive, SSD mean Solid State Drive;
The joke is about HDD not being used which is wrong
I know what the acronyms mean. But I refer to them both as hard drive.
I'm guessing cloud?
Hold the fuck up, did you just acknowledge the existence Gen X?
Gotta keep them on their toes.
I'm always on my toes. My toes hurt. Please stop abusing my toes
puts legos under SpaceNoode's toes
Joke's on you, I fucking love LEGOs
puts megablox under SpaceNoode's toes
Joke's on you, I've accepted Mega Bloks because they had the Star Trek license back in the day
Fuck. What do we have left? Lincoln Logs? Tinker Toys?
Go old school with Jax/ jacks.
Oooooooof
Literal caltrops?
Drag thinks solid state drives are drives and they're hard.
But, my dearest Drag, you miss the point! There will be generations of humans that have no experience of spinning rust, of whirring platters, or of the dreaded tick- tick- tick- of a crashed head and lost data. What will they do?
How are hard drives "spinning rust"? Are solid state drives "stationary sand"?
Magnetic recording materials have historically been metal oxides, I have no clue if that remains true for modern hard drive platters. I guess you could argue that SSDs are stationary sand, but you could make the same argumant for the majority of semiconductors so I don’t think it sufficiently specifies SSDs.
Probably invent new kinds of sex we can't even imagine
Well, people like to say "check their hard drives" when referring to pedos, so the word itself isn't lost yet. But there might be some other Gen Z's who don't actually know what that is considering we were raised with Chromebooks...

The guy is not wrong. I have dozens of HDDs but he's talking about an actual hard drive. I also have a wife, 3 1/2 kids and my dog just died. I've seen some shit.
