    Keep in mind that the adults when we were kids and young adults felt the same way.

    Languages evolve.

      As a millennial, I think zoomer slang is much funnier than ours was. We said things like “epic win” or dumb shit about Chuck Norris but these zoomers are out there in the trenches sticking out their gyatts for the rizzler.

        So, I just want to say that the oldest Zoomers are in their 20s now, and the ones actually sticking out their gyatts for the rizzler are Gen Alpha.

          Depending on where you draw the line between Zoomers and Millennials, the oldest zoomers are about to turn 30, and I’m sure some already have chronic back pain.

        I also reckon that our forefathers had an easier time comprehending our epic wins, Chuck Norris references and so on.

        I’ve somehow managed to comprehend gyatt and rizz (okay the latter is older than most people alive today I guess?), but skibidi toilet is where I draw the line.

        Honestly its the same shit. Its a progression.

        You can literally draw a line from ebaums world hitting you with your own pimp, through YouTube poop and Dasboschitts gmod idiot box, through the MLG compilations, the beggining of SFM, and all the way to today with skibidii toilet.

          Society truly peaked at the height of YouTube poops.

      If I took a shot every time someone said “language evolves” on Lemmy, I’d be fucking dead.
