A 70 year old today was born in 1950. What have they experienced that's worse than this? I think this is going to be unlike anything in living memory.

- kazen44 7y agomy grandfather was a teen during ww2. This behaviour was common with him aswell. Saving even the bones of chicken/cows to make stock. when a was a smile child and was nagging him for something to eat, he used to tell me i have never experienced hunger, only "trek". (which would be roughly translated to snackish).

Off the top of my head I think the Cultural Revolution would be worse, the Partition of India would be up there, and the incessant warring and instability in Africa as decolonization occurred.
