Really, go touch some grass, Mr. IP adress.

I love how contradictory this sentence is.

Equivalent to saying Dnd originated from mexico because my dungeon master is Mexican.

Just because a gay guy smoked pot doesn't make stoner culture gay

If you read the article it says the saying was popularized in 2019 after a stoner YouTuber came out as gay or something

I feel like "hits different" is way older than that

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 16 points 1 year ago

"Popularized" specifically removes the provenance.

Look there's a whole entertainment complex of entertaining Gen Z with culture that's older than them, repackaging the same jokes into short form because they don't have access to the same TV and movies. But don't let them just own these words like they are brand new.
