The "back in mah day" and "F those kids" same person rule

As I grew older, I started complaining about "the youth," as in all the ridiculous stuff I would see online. And then it hit me as the conversation began about how we all did stuff like this as kids. We just weren't publishing it online for all to see and become permanent. So I've learned even more that if someone or something isn't hurting me or anyone else, I need to shut the fuck up and mind my own god damned business.

Moral of the story: I don't care how much you don't like it. If you or anyone else is not being harmed, then shut the fuck up and mind your own god damned business.

Thank you

I’ve been practically melting my brain trying to reconcile the thoughts “we said dumb shit as kids” and “holy fuck if I hear the world ‘skibidi’ one more time I’m going to lose my mind”

I’ve just taken to explaining in detail why I think skibidi is so cool and why they’re right to use it. “Wow, you adopted a word from the internet? When I was a kid, no one had the internet besides the government. You know, the spread of information and global homogenization of vernacular is such a fascinating thing that your generation is part of…” and so on. If they can cause me agony with their verbal garbage after I ask them to chill, I can reply in kind.

Skibidi is hilarious in a sad kafka-esque way. I'm a millennial, and remember enjoying Scatman John as a kid, and the adults complained about it being gibberish.

Now I'm an adult and watching adults complain that Scatman John is gibberish. It's a little surreal.

When I was in grade 9 we were saying dumb shit like "awesomesauce," so "skibidi" gets a pass from me.

I can take "skibidi". "Chicken jockey" is what's getting me right now.

I'm in the second half of my fourth decade of breathing, and I'm rather proud i made it this far before something "the kids do" being completely incomprehensible to me.

I do not understand brainrot videos. I can't wrap my head around why anyone would watch it. I am officially old now.

I don't get Snapchat. It's the most obnoxious piece of shit app with a UI that makes untangling a plate of spaghetti look like a straightforward task. If you mistakenly open it, it will take this as an indication to spam your notifications hourly with drivel until you shut it the hell up with a shotgun. The avatar decoration bundles are obviously exploitative, preying off of kids who get bullied for being "basic". Fuck Snapchat.

I for one am really glad none of the stupid shit I said as a kid is still around. I was a complete dumbass, to the bone. If I saw a post from past me, I would be so triggered.

B-b-b-but, they’re using different words, listening to different music, and wearing different clothes than I did! Am I just supposed to take that kind of offense lying down?! They’re not even lynching the queers no more!
