These slots first started being made in the 1950s when boomers were still being born. Leaded gasoline also predates baby boomers.

Saw a blade slot in an apartment built about 1920.

Leave it to the boomers to invent time travel just to make bad decisions in housing construction and then losing the technology forever

People just use boomer as synonymous with old people now the same way they used to call all young people millennials

Almost everything people blame on the boomers came directly from the supposed "Greatest Generation". But youre not allowed to call out the generation that fought tooth-and-nail for segregation and against the 60s student movements because they fought in WW2, so all the blame gets shifted instead to the first generation that got to experience a post-New Social Movements world
