P sus fam ngl

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

You weirdly got it right.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

At least yours is legitimate slang. The comic is just a bunch of buzzwords in regular sentences.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

At the very least they're used correctly, the author seems to know what those words mean at least.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I thought I had a stroke.

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What's a bop? I can't tell if that's actual slang or one of the joke ones like WIFI.

[-] doctordevice@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure they mean a song (alternatively, "bopper"). Specifically an upbeat one that makes you want to dance.

The context of Limewire points to this too.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yup, exactly

Come on, Hashtag, geotag your retweeeted stream from the app in the cloud. All the cool kids are doing it.

You threw your whole bussy out for that comment.

Oh god, it's happening to me
I genuinely don't understand half the words in this comment
Is this what turning 30 feels like?

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Man I'm 23 and don't even know if this is English. Help.

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Smash that like button my rizzy. Bet.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 10 months ago

"Have you streamed this yet?" Is a phrase I've heard real people say when talking directly to a streamer.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

I need to know the context of this image.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Farthest back example I could find is this. Apparently it's from a textbook?

[-] Kolrami@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I found this sociology textbook that has unquoted similar text. https://online.flipbuilder.com/jeru/zjef/index.html#p=60

I think one book plagiarized the other.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Or it could be a different edition. Is the image supposed to convey that kids use slang? And is that supposed to be some sort of revelation?

[-] Kolrami@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

More reasonable and more likely explanation. I wonder if they got rid of the image or added it in a new edition.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

have you skibbidied that fanum tax with your rizz?

How the "smart sciency computer people" in 90's comics and 2000's cartoons talk.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

When I was younger I'd just ramble off a bunch of computer part names and people thought I was the smartest computer nerd in the world. I was like, these are just the parts that make up your computer, dummies.

[-] Erika2rsis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

This is basically just Skwerl but for "young people who are good with computers" slang

[-] Fave@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Honestly sounds a bit like my management :D

[-] Fleur__@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Why can I understand all this

[+] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world -14 points 10 months ago

How millennials think young people talk

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

As a millenial it's weird how the generations before us are completely tech illiterate, but also the generation after us. Fuck me, the zoomers are getting stepper machines, thinking they're somehow good and a new thing.

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

And it is our own fault. We've made much of the stuff zoomers are using. By us black boxing everything in order to make it easier, the zoomers have become insanely tech illiterate

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

It's weird feeling like we're sandwiched in the middle of tech illiteracy. Like, yo, I can't hold the whole tech stack up myself. You guys gotta learn how to "use the Internet" too.

My sister in law is almost 10 years younger and can't even get Plex running on her Apple TV. Wtf?!

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 10 months ago

I obviously haven't tried it but I would not be at all surprised to learn that it was unsupported. I don't use Plex but I've yet to see anything other than an Android TV box support either Jellyfin or Kodi. The companies that make these things are catching on

[-] mascarasnake@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Shout out to all my Generation X peeps--the first generation to spend our teenage/young adult years on the Internet. We still laugh at our Boomer parents who don't know anything about technology. Now we kinda roll our eyes and say "whatever" to all the younger folks who think that we don't either.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

There's no way this image isn't from 10+ years ago. It's definitely Boomers writing Millenials

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Okay, according wikipedia I'm considered to be an early Millennial. Even I know that this sounds like it was written by a Boomer. The kind of Boomer who owns a phone but turns it off after they're done with their scheduled phone call because they don't want to drain the battery.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

And then everyone gets mad at them because they're never reachable and causes problems lmao.

Yeah, you hit the nail on that one!

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Bro, I'm GenX and even I know GenZ peeps don't talk like this.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

As a millennial, I'd just like to say... #totes #NapoleonDynamite

[-] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You forgot the fortnite dance.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I prefer saying biweekly dance.
