The 5 defining Boomer habits Gen Z rejects and a missing iPad story for the ages

🥣 Gen Z is hurling some shocking Boomer staples into the dustbin of history

Sure, let’s leave the bell-bottoms behind, but the whole idea of decorum?

Generations come and go, passing down traditions and tossing the rest onto history’s scrapheap. Somewhere along the way, someone hit a hoop with a stick for the last time and never looked back.

But breakfast? Really, Gen Z? You’re ghosting breakfast now? And movies? The entire concept of sitting down for two hours to watch something unfold?

Turns out, what feels sacred to one generation feels outdated to another. And the generational divide isn’t just about what we eat or watch, it’s about what we value.

Boomers grew up on cereal, rock concerts, and the belief that a 9-to-5 could lead to a pension and a gold watch. They grew up with an unspoken but absolute set of topics fit for discussion in ‘polite company’. Gen Z? They're sipping protein shakes, skipping the small talk, and live-streaming their feelings in real time. From taboo topics to TikTok therapy, the culture clash is real and fascinating.

So what happens when generations define respect, entertainment, and success completely differently? Find out in this story by GOOD writer Mark Wales.

🔍 A celebrity’s iPad heist. Clues: Metallica dad, Costco trail, trunk of rice.

Dan Gheesling lost his iPad and found a feel-good mystery full of strange clues and helpful strangers.

What do Costco, a cooler full of rice, and a man who looks like a retired Metallica member have in common? They’re all part of Ryan Reed’s latest story featuring Big Brother alum Dan Gheesling’s quest to recover his missing iPad. With a mix of tech savvy, street smarts, and Michigan charm, the Twitch streamer followed Apple's “Find My” breadcrumbs on a DIY detective adventure that spanned neighborhoods, fast food joints, and more than a few raised eyebrows.

He filmed the whole saga, door knocks, hand signals, and all, and came away not just with his device but with a new appreciation for helpful strangers (and maybe a future in true-crime YouTube).

🧠 Katie Rangel thought she was exhausted. Her boyfriend thought it was something more...

The teen, the missed signs, and the ER visit that changed everything

Katie Rangel wasn’t too worried when she started feeling weak, dizzy, and numb in one leg. Senior year stress, maybe a bad night’s sleep, nothing worth calling 911 over. But her boyfriend had a gut feeling that something was off. He didn’t let it go.

That decision set off a chain of events involving a frantic ambulance ride, a rare medical condition, and a race against the clock that doctors say changed her life.

Now, Katie is not only walking again, she’s dancing, thanking her hospital heroes, and planning a future in medicine.

Her story is a wake-up call about the signs we ignore, and the people who don't.

Until next time, may your cereal stay crispy and your devices accounted for.
