The key is in the words “utter nonsense”. Prior to Gen alpha slang was always rooted in reality - a word repulsed, or an abstraction, or a phonetic recreation of a regional pronunciation. Gen alpha is gonna make whole new sounds and apply them to Concepts and whole phrases and thoughts. Technically, this is expanding the English language, but it’s going to look phenomenally stupid in the process.

🤦‍♂️ it’s utter nonsense to the tune of “In The End” by Linkin Park. I’m officially old lol

Please say you’re joking. Even if you’re not, for my mental health, just fucking lie to me.

Bro this notification popped up, and for a couple of seconds I didn’t see that it was lemmy, I didn’t remember this convo, I just saw the anti-consumer corpo speak and I almost lost my shit. I was straight up furious and I hit the notification to come in here and verbally crap in your mouth.

So yeah, you should look into a career with Micockssoft 🤣

Oh it’s subscription based, ok. I have a flash drive for that. Helps me erase the OS and put a whole new one in.

Edge of Tomorrow completely tossed most of this habit to the side and at worst didn’t suffer for it, but imo was incredible because of it. One can only see The Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, NYC, etc so many times before it gets old. The Louvre? Flooded and full of aliens? That was new.

Just a one-liner as root, and you’re done.
