The group discusses growing up sheltered in church versus current teens rating classmates on Instagram and doing active shooter drills, contrasting innocence lost across generations.

In this bit6 moments
  • Growing up in the church meant having protective lies instead of the reality of modern girls selling nudes to pedophiles on the internet.
  • Fifteen-year-olds rate girls from school on Instagram, commenting on features and whether they'd date them—essentially doing what used to happen at 1950s diners.
  • Facebook itself got started the same way, with rating pictures of girls.
  • Nine-year-olds are doing active shooter drills at school, teaching kids to walk in serpentine patterns to avoid bullets.
  • Tim's daughter believes 9/11 happened but hasn't questioned why, instead asking if she can play Fortnite when she gets home.
  • Being stoned and accepting the post-9/11 explanation that terrorists "hate us for our freedom" feels stupid in retrospect—Tim felt taken for a ride like everyone else.
