It just fueled the debate more. I don't see a lack of stripes, I see an oversized stripe.

Zebras have black skin. They are black with white stripes.
That's only big zebra propaganda
Are there small zebras?
Yes. Shortly after birth.
White horses can have black skin too...
So THAT'S how a horse would wear pants
Their body sleeve is only partially done
Neat, a lot of the time you just see pictures of zebras with funky coats as foals and not as adults, but this one looks pretty grown.
what debate
Kruger National Park
"What's black and white and red all over, bitch??"

A newspaper
It occurs to me that that joke doesn't work as well as it used to since newspapers are much less widely read now.
Does generational mean anything specific in this meme or does it just mean huge? When did generational stop meaning pertaining to a generation?
Meaning multiple generations of people have debated the question
So it's a multi-generational debate?
That's what is being said yes
I guess it just seems like sloppy use of language to me.
now get off my lawn
Oh interesting, as something of a pedant myself, I didn't see anything wrong with it, what would be the difference in your eyes?
I've exhausted my interest in this but
IMO generational is -relevant or pertaining to a particular generation- but what was really meant in the meme is that this is something people have talked about for a long time, in fact for multiple generations, and generations are irrelevant to what's being discussed. Ancient would be a better adjective or time honoured, or age old. Zebra stripe debates aren't particular to gen alpha, gen z, millenials, or boomers.
I just think generational is a trope in and of itself and is losing its meaning through over use.

I didn't forget gen x I left them out on purpose to trigger them.
Thanks for the response!
Im not triggered though lol.

I agree with that but only from a cultural perspective, not if someone is talking generations of a family or in regards to heredity/family
Generations of kids have wondered if zebras are black with white stripes or white with black stripes.
Wow, I have a very distinct line on my arm where my skin gets lighter, always wondered why but now I know
