I was reminded
Zombo com.
You can do anything at… Zombo com.
The impossible is possible at Zombocom.
Used to load Zombocom on every computer in the lab back in high school. Except the one computer that faced away from the teacher that was used to play Ass Hunter on ebaumsworld. Unfortunately, that computer also faces the door to the class, so it was risky, and ultimately became a problem.
I remember one time in school this kid came across the Zombo website and kept asking everyone “what is zombo com??” unironically. I just said “it’s zombo com”
That’s because they’re copying the joke.
I was playing a multiplayer game and the people in chat got such a kick out of trying to teach me the terminology they were using.
They were so proud when I called one of them the rizz master accurately.
excuse you, that’s the Rizzler
To think some people would instead ridicule others when you can have so much fun together…
They seems like fun people. Cheers to them and you too! ^^
Most young people don’t know what’s going on either with all the celebrities. Everything has just become so niche. You could have a popular streamer with 10M+ subscribers and interview 100 people on the street under 18 and nobody knows who they are.
yeah I feel that way. Its like what do I care what celebrity a person may be unless I like their stuff.
They’re peeble-streaming on doop!? Kif, fetch me my formal girdle.
>tfw that kid born in 2007 is almost old enough to vote
when i first read this i imagined like a ten year old
the enboomerification of genx is almost complete
it would have happened sooner but millennials needed to complain about it first
These aren’t radically new forms of celebrity so much as new methods of circulating a fad. Thirty years ago we had Pewdiepie and Mr. Beast, they were just Talk Radio shock jocks and daytime TV game show hosts. The names and faces change, but the gimmicks are all the same.
“Oh, you don’t know who Octomom is? Oh, you haven’t heard about the Macarena? You don’t know all the call-lines to Rocky Horror Picture Show? I guess you’re not cool.” shrug These things come and go. You can follow them or not. But pretending the height of socialization is knowing the current crop of Mouseketeers-turned-pop-idols isn’t going to make you less of a Boomer than your great-grandparents.
Thirty … Thirty years ago?
Nah, this is millennial energy right here. “Fuck social media, why doesn’t everyone have a geocities page with a webring that links to their angelfire page and guestbooks and ICQ and stumbleupon KIDS NEED TO STOP HAVING A DIFFERENT INTERNET EXPERIENCE THAN I GREW UP WITH!”
Gen-x, as is their nature, simultaneously doesn’t care and complains endlessly about everything equally, even the stuff they like, especially the stuff they like.
To put it in a perspective that this audience will understand; boomers are superintendent Chalmers. Millenials are Principal Skinner. Gen-x is Comic Book Guy.
Not a millennial but I will always argue that the modern internet is inherently worse for people than the internet even of 15 years ago.
It’s a very different place.
Hi. Are these real slang words? Asking for a friend. Me. I’m a friend of me.
I don’t think so? Though I could also be behind on the slang. I’m 24 which if I were 15 I’d consider to be ancient
Fuck dude i remember being 24 and i was out drinking with friends. I met a guy who looked about my age and a good bit shorter than me. At some point he said he’s 32, and i could not believe that i met that man from the begone area, that looked so young. In fact i was so amused by that fact that i paraded him around and showed him off to my friends. “Hey, guess his age.” WRONG, he’s 3 2 years old, van you believe that? He’s just like us.
I think about that guy about once a week and remember when i was 32… 7 years ago.
😭 years fly by eh? The past 4 already feel like a month for me, could be the pandemic still fucking with my brain, could just be the new normal
And it really ramps up the older you get. I always thought i’ll never be out of touch, because i grew up with the internet and i play video games with often younger people i assume. But then i worked with 3 electricians for example. They were super far behind because they sat on their phones a lot (not just, but it didn’t help.) i didn’t want to be that guy so i just let them be. It was quite surreal to me to see a bunch of guys playing fortnite on their break. The problem was that i look really young, so they often think i’m one of them. So i pulled one of them aside and told them that they are like 2 weeks behind and need to be finished in a week and they really need to get their shit together. He dabbed at me, said okay and went to work. I thought this is some “i think you should leave” skit.
he- dabbed at you? 👁👄👁
that sure is a way to stay inside someone’s mind rent free for the rest of their life
It was bizzare. I think he absolutely regretted it mid dab but it was already too late. I imagined his two colleagues fortnite dance on his ass to make fun of him.
😭
You should see if they listen to fortnite balls https://youtu.be/chxVxX3n7N4
Oh my god, I feel that so much!
somewhere some zoomer is living in the alternate future of 2017 and is deep in the metaverse, gooning to genAI NFTs in full VR
When you are as old as I am you don’t care about any of those things
If you think that makes you feel old, imagine if the person born in 2007 was your kid
I would stream my peeble, but then I’d get demonitized or banned for indecency.
It’s pathetic that people make being out of touch their whole identity. She’s not far from “kids these days!”
I’m 30 and I like to think I’m fully in touch with what teens are in to nowadays. After all, I also grew up in the internet age.
It’s always funny to me how people even in their 20s like to joke about how old and out of touch they are.
Are you this fun in real life, or do you save your best takes for the internet?
Mainly seeking interwebs down votes. It’s fuel.
