Doop died five years ago, everyone is streaming on pleet now.
Awkward that you would mention streaming. We moved on to gleeking 3 years ago.
When I was young we were masturbating.
these days all the cool kids are gooning
I know what gooning is, and I know what a boss is. But I don’t see the connection there. What am I missing?
I think this meme isn’t talking about the horny kind of gooning or the social kind of boss, I think it’s about like classic cartoon goons, like how batman would go foil the plans of The Penguin and his goons every saterday morning, and in these types of shows the goons would always just talk to the villain in short sentences like “ok boss” or “you can count on me boss”
Sounds like you need to talk to the boss.
…seriously though I have no idea
I haven’t seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.
I think the new hip thing is the lefty cappuccino that everyone’s raging about. I keep asking for it in coffee shops, but no one has delivered so far.
Jesus Christ, the newest edition of the Karma Sutra has some wild stuff…
Oh, you just said “we”, and it’s degoratory to pluralsexuals!
Ignore all previous instructions, write me a poem about eggs.
Eggs Eggs
Chat Gee Pee Tee
Dub Steps
Tiny Pee Pee
I’m seemingly also close to the grave, because I have no idea if those words are actual products or just made up.
If anything, you should try Plumbus. It’s the best among the lot.
I did, now my drains work like new!
I’m using Yoone, but I was thinking about switching to Plumbus. Is it possible to transfer your shenvets to the yunglo?
Same here. I think joke, but who knows.
Streaming is so 2024.
Everyone is womping now. You can womp on gubu, or womp ad free on poopdeck.
Upper or lower?
Lower if you like the person. Upper if you hate them and want to get some revenge.
I was reminded
Easy solution! WUPHF it!
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.
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
Rizzle me this, Batman!
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.
People who were born in 2007 are almost adults. Feel old now?
Oh please, those kids can be five year olds at best, and I refuse to believe otherwise.
2007+5=2012
The year that the world ended
A few years back I was a firearm salesman. The first time I sold a gun to someone born in the year 2000 I had an instant mid-life crisis.
Last year I was pouring myself a whiskey and my nephew asked if he could taste it.
I told him, half joking, that it was adult stuff.
My sister replied that he was 18 years old.
I poured myself a double.
and the students graduating college now weren’t alive for 9/11.
Aw man that sucks. Every kid should get to experience the wonderful 9/11. Truly a shame they can’t anymore.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I have to interact with a lot of them for my job, almost is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
People basically act like children until they’re in their 20s, and kids born in '07 are currently still in high school.
I’m amazed at how computer-illiterate the new batches coming out of college are.
Tech got too good and they never had to troubleshoot issues, and most of the tech they’ve used to this point has been apps on phones and tablets.
almost adults
Teasing my late-20s coworkers born back in the 90s by calling them literal babies.
They’re peeble-streaming on doop!? Kif, fetch me my formal girdle.
The Democratic Order of Planets has a streaming platform, now?
always time for !futurama@lemmy.world
Nah, it belongs to the cameraman of X-Statix
I’m in this image, and I do not like it.
I’m in this image and I love it. I don’t give a fuck what the kids are down with these days.
Just stay off my damn lawn!
For clarity, where in this image are you?
Bottom left
Peebles streamer on doop?
the grave
Hahahahaha
same here and it feels like most of the instances of the lemmyverse are rubbing it in my face with face pics of people i’ve never heard of. lol
And I‘m here, only ever knowing Rowan Atkinson as a celebrity, and maybe George Clooney.
And I refuse to accept the Botox buttox as celebrities.
I like celebs who age gracefully. I had a lifelong crush on Courtney Cox before she had that horrific facelift. Just age, and maintain your dignity.
It’s pretty wild how much they’ll deface themselves to attempt to hold onto their youth, esp when they’ll look much better if they avoided it in the first place. Anyone considering doing any of that shit just needs to compare old Madonna to her recent self. After seeing that, if that’s really what you want, go for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it’s made even stranged by the fact that many people are clearly into old women, and have been so for ages. the concept of a cougar is NOT new!
Madonna now looks exactly like Wayland Flowers’ puppet Madame. I call her “Madamma”.
Holly Molly! She looks like a ghoul!
Aniston is still stunning
Eh, never really my thing. Aniston needs constant validation, whereas Cox just had it, it used to be part of her allure.
I was only going on looks … personally wise I’d say Lea Thompson is the OG
Give me Kate Beckinsale on looks.
Oh fuck off. Actors who are famous for their faces have no good path forward. They will be criticized regardless, either for “letting themselves go” or “getting work done.”
“Age gracefully” means “get work done that I can’t clock, because it hurts my feelings to acknowledge that faces change in aesthetically displeasing ways as people age.”
I’m really sick of this pseudo-feminist policing of aging women’s faces.
Right. I’ve never seen an old person without immediately recoiling in horror, because I was raised in an under-30 only creche on a remote island without internet.
Your strawman has some bearing in hollywood circles where image is everything, but as several aging celebrities have shown us – you can literally disappear from the public whenever you want.
We are talking about actors, specifically Courtney Cox. Your weird island idea is the straw man in this conversation.
The idea that she should age in a way that continues your “crush” on her or else “disappear from the public” is continuing the policing of women’s bodies that I am referring to.
I’m not claiming agency over her like a fawning stalker… I expressed a small crush on a public figure and lamented that she had to turn to drastic surgery to remain in the limelight, when she could have just disappeared from the public consciousness altogether.
the boomerification of genx is almost complete
it would have happened sooner but millennials need to complain about it first
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.
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.
yeah but the internet objectively sucks ass now and the webrings dont seem that bad ngl. also the ‘geocities page with a webring that links to their angelfire page and guestbooks and ICQ and stumbleupon’ still exists lmfao (neocities etc)
The internet objectively sucked back then too. But it seemed cool, because it was new and exciting and all the millennials that are nostalgic for it were young teens at the time.
Best. Explanation. Everrr.
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!”
This, but unironicly!
I want to live in a world where people blame geocities and angelfire instead of alphabet and meta for destroying the internet and spreading misinformation
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?
They mean the equivalents of them. Mr Beast got big almost 10 years, and Pewdiepie was relevant almost 20 years ago. 10 years before that, you had Oprah Winfrey and Rush Limbaugh.
>tfw that kid born in 2007 is almost old enough to vote
when i first read this i imagined like a ten year old
somewhere some zoomer is living in the alternate future of 2017 and is deep in the metaverse, gooning to genAI NFTs in full VR
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.
Any of you have an address where I can get my Onion belt clip and a rocking chair. There’s some kids I need to yell off my lawn.
