From technology to gull , it ’s a whole fresh world .

No matter what generation they’re a part of, parents will always be… parents. This means there’s a high probability that the parents of Gen Z are completely clueless about some current “common knowledge.”

So, if you’re Gen Z, we want to know what “common knowledge” your parents completely lack. Maybe they totally struggle with everything involving technology. Sure, they get how the internet works, but maybe they can’t figure out voice notes or how to swipe through an Instagram photo dump…

Or maybe they don’t understand anything about TikTok or how it works! Or that you can buy or do almost anything on your phone!

Maybe they just don’t understand why you would buy furniture you have to assemble instead of going to a store and picking out something that is already built. Or why you would call a Taskrabbit!

Maybe they get beyond confused when you use Gen Z slang, like bed rot, body count, or delulu.
