A hashtag currently trending in New York reads #WeLiveInaGenerationWhere. Before picking out any particular Dumb Tweet, it's worth pointing out that the popular hashtag is itself dumb: We do not live in a generation "where," we live in a generation "when" or "in which" -- because generations are temporal, not spatial.
One tweeter (retweeted around 200 times) bemoaned that "#WeLiveInaGenerationWhere children are having children," which is absurd, because under modern conceptions of childhood, every generation in recorded history has seen children giving birth to children.
