Doop died five years ago, everyone is streaming on pleet now.
Awkward that you would mention streaming. We moved on to gleeking 3 years ago.
When I was young we were masturbating.
I haven't seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.
I think the new hip thing is the lefty cappuccino that everyone's raging about. I keep asking for it in coffee shops, but no one has delivered so far.
I'm seemingly also close to the grave, because I have no idea if those words are actual products or just made up.
I was reminded
Zombo com.
You can do anything at... Zombo com.
The impossible is possible at Zombocom.
Used to load Zombocom on every computer in the lab back in high school. Except the one computer that faced away from the teacher that was used to play Ass Hunter on ebaumsworld. Unfortunately, that computer also faces the door to the class, so it was risky, and ultimately became a problem.
I was playing a multiplayer game and the people in chat got such a kick out of trying to teach me the terminology they were using.
They were so proud when I called one of them the rizz master accurately.
excuse you, that's the Rizzler
Rizzle me this, Batman!
Most young people don't know what's going on either with all the celebrities. Everything has just become so niche. You could have a popular streamer with 10M+ subscribers and interview 100 people on the street under 18 and nobody knows who they are.
yeah I feel that way. Its like what do I care what celebrity a person may be unless I like their stuff.
People who were born in 2007 are almost adults. Feel old now?
Oh please, those kids can be five year olds at best, and I refuse to believe otherwise.
2007+5=2012
The year that the world ended
A few years back I was a firearm salesman. The first time I sold a gun to someone born in the year 2000 I had an instant mid-life crisis.
Now I have a side gig teaching night classes at the University, and the students graduating college now weren't alive for 9/11.
Last year I was pouring myself a whiskey and my nephew asked if he could taste it.
I told him, half joking, that it was adult stuff.
My sister replied that he was 18 years old.
I poured myself a double.
I have to interact with a lot of them for my job, almost is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
People basically act like children until they're in their 20s, and kids born in '07 are currently still in high school.
I'm amazed at how computer-illiterate the new batches coming out of college are.
Tech got too good and they never had to troubleshoot issues, and most of the tech they've used to this point has been apps on phones and tablets.
They're peeble-streaming on doop!? Kif, fetch me my formal girdle.
I'm in this image, and I do not like it.
I'm in this image and I love it. I don't give a fuck what the kids are down with these days.
Just stay off my damn lawn!
And I‘m here, only ever knowing Rowan Atkinson as a celebrity, and maybe George Clooney.
And I refuse to accept the Botox buttox as celebrities.
I like celebs who age gracefully. I had a lifelong crush on Courtney Cox before she had that horrific facelift. Just age, and maintain your dignity.
It's pretty wild how much they'll deface themselves to attempt to hold onto their youth, esp when they'll look much better if they avoided it in the first place. Anyone considering doing any of that shit just needs to compare old Madonna to her recent self. After seeing that, if that's really what you want, go for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the enboomerification of genx is almost complete
it would have happened sooner but millennials needed to complain about it first
Nah, this is millennial energy right here. "Fuck social media, why doesn't everyone have a geocities page with a webring that links to their angelfire page and guestbooks and ICQ and stumbleupon KIDS NEED TO STOP HAVING A DIFFERENT INTERNET EXPERIENCE THAN I GREW UP WITH!"
Gen-x, as is their nature, simultaneously doesn't care and complains endlessly about everything equally, even the stuff they like, especially the stuff they like.
To put it in a perspective that this audience will understand; boomers are superintendent Chalmers. Millenials are Principal Skinner. Gen-x is Comic Book Guy.
Not a millennial but I will always argue that the modern internet is inherently worse for people than the internet even of 15 years ago.
yeah but the internet objectively sucks ass now and the webrings dont seem that bad ngl. also the 'geocities page with a webring that links to their angelfire page and guestbooks and ICQ and stumbleupon' still exists lmfao (neocities etc)
These aren't radically new forms of celebrity so much as new methods of circulating a fad. Thirty years ago we had Pewdiepie and Mr. Beast, they were just Talk Radio shock jocks and daytime TV game show hosts. The names and faces change, but the gimmicks are all the same.
"Oh, you don't know who Octomom is? Oh, you haven't heard about the Macarena? You don't know all the call-lines to Rocky Horror Picture Show? I guess you're not cool." shrug These things come and go. You can follow them or not. But pretending the height of socialization is knowing the current crop of Mouseketeers-turned-pop-idols isn't going to make you less of a Boomer than your great-grandparents.
>tfw that kid born in 2007 is almost old enough to vote
when i first read this i imagined like a ten year old
somewhere some zoomer is living in the alternate future of 2017 and is deep in the metaverse, gooning to genAI NFTs in full VR
Hi. Are these real slang words? Asking for a friend. Me. I'm a friend of me.
Any of you have an address where I can get my Onion belt clip and a rocking chair. There's some kids I need to yell off my lawn.
Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.
