it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to

nickyflowers replies:
oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

I've got a list of backups:

cooked
spaced (see The Expanse)
inhumed (as opposed to exhumed as one might do in removing a corpse from a grave; see Terry Pratchett's Discworld's Assassins Guild lingo)
processed (as one does to food using a food processor)
isekai'd (for the weaboos)
truck-kun'd
terminated (for when the Terminator movies become popular again)
old yeller'd
returned to sender (until the postal system collapses)
X trimester aborted
Peter Pan'd (as in, thrown off a cliff and expected to fly)
Mufasa'd (or any notable fictional character whose death was a major plot point)

i like the term "zeroed" from cyberpunk as in "they got zeroed" (unsure if that is the correct spelling)

As a Pratchett fan, I have to say unalive <> inhumed; since "unalive" = dead whereas "inhume" = kill

Worms games have a nice list of expressions for managing kills (or drowning)

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Most of these have clear other meanings that wouldn't work being turned into a substituted for killed or died
