Are only done by a few people and boomers hear it on the Today show and swear everyone born after 2000 is eating Tide pods and sticking their fingers in electrical sockets.

After watching a shitton of Youtube videos of younger people working on cars the last few days, I'd tend to think its somewhere in the middle.
