Turns out millennials must have a big screen to make a big purchase and it’s this week’s most relatable thing (and not just for millennials)
Millennials are at it again! In between making gif-usage cringe and stoking inflation, millennials are under scrutiny once more over their behaviour.
And this time, it gets to the heart of millennials’ existence as a bridge between a world where they grew up without mobile phones etc and the digital native Gen Z generation that followed them.
It seems some millennials only feel comfortable making big purchases online – on their laptops. Not on their phones.
My most millennial trait is big purchases must happen in big laptop screen https://t.co/chPSeA45w6

This is true. And for extra-big purchases, I’m showing up at the place.

Nothing says “adulting” like needing a 15-inch screen to confirm you’re still broke after that big purchase

Accidentally spent $300 trying to get 4 comedy tickets on my phone to a cheap show at Fringe. They would not refund me. Also the comedian came out expecting a full crowd and there were like 49 empty seats, because I had accidentally bought all the tickets. https://t.co/SCOpD9ppn6

Literally my friends last night. I booked them a hotel for one week, when one of my friends asked “You’re just checking the price on your phone right? And you’re gonna book them in your laptop later?”

When I was researching what tv to buy it was done strictly on the computer
