Just to make some of you feel old: I’m gen Z and I’m 25.
Have you had your first wave of Gen Alpha trends and slang confuse you yet?
Not the person you’re replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at “yeet” and “yoink”
Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That’s at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.
Yoink is older than scoobie doo
Yeet is from the Vine era. Gen Alpha has more recent stuff. You know, the whole “skibidi ohio fanum tax amogus rizzler fortnite gyat” thing.
Not a gen Z but I’m actually a fan of both of those words. It’s like a forceful put or get.
It’s like a forceful put or get.
Now I kind-of want HTTP verbs for those.
YEET /api/v1/submit HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User-Agent: curl/8.6.0 Accept: */* Content-Type: application/json ... YOINK /api/v1/list HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User-Agent: curl/8.6.0 Accept: application/json
Can someone explain?
Your brain finishes developing around 25 years old. The older Gen Zs are turning 25 now. OP is joking about unironic emoji usage being an old person thing.
Maybe just let them be?
I wasn’t trying to be unkind. It’s just Gen Z whose frontal lobes would be just finished developing, that’s all.
Frontal lobes are cool but all that white matter you grow in your 30s is where the good shit happens
Like actually?
No, it’s when you become aware of too much shit and enter the next level of needing to learn more coping skills. It’s like suddenly growing legs and realizing there’s a whole world out there and people who never grew legs are like woah miss bigshot with her LeGssss ooooo so SpEcIaL think you’re so FaNcY so WoKe and then form an army of undeveloped against you and they win and you just facepalm for eternity as you scrounge for ways to help them grow legs but they now think growing legs gives you autism or something stupid.
Ignorance is bliss is no understatement. I’m so tired.
This is the perfect analogy for America right now.
