    I am a bit older than 24 and enjoy learning the new patois tbh. It’s super interesting to me how language evolves endlessly in all these innumerable offshoots and how niche cultures generate all these different codes and concepts and wordplay and stuff.

    I like that the youth are forever both borrowing from the old and scouting new grounds of their own in these ways and in countless others as well. So the renewal and rechristening of culture is based and I-like-it-pilled akchooly 🤓

    Edit: a letter

          This is something I don’t like - calling the viewers “chat”. I mean, it’s gender neutral, but I’d just randomly call them Ladies, Gentlemen, Ladymen, Gentles, viewers, guys, gals, bros, sis’s, folks, roflcopters, grills…

          I’m no streamer btw. Maybe I‘d just get skibidi cancelled lol xD

            I’m cool with it for streams, but it got really confusing because I’ve also heard slightly older young’uns refer to ChatGPT as “Chat”

            So, like, “Idk I heard it from Chat” can either be a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust random twitch users, or a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust inchoate AI tech.
