I took this text and made ChatGPT translate it to 2008 teenager lingo:
Yo, what’s good? If you peep anything sketchy or straight-up wack, like a jacked-up toilet or whatever, hit me up at -number- ASAP. For real though, we’re low-key hustlin’ to make this campground poppin’. We ain’t stoppin’ till this spot’s lit AF and everyone’s vibin’ with it. We’re counting on you, fam. Much love, thanks!
I tell you the rapper‘s tongue that was lit AF back when Pimp my Ride was the shit is gonna be old lad‘s lingo sooner than…. The PS5 lost its stance to the PS6
Thought about this a little bit, and I think my conclusions is that the thing that kills when boomers try to relate to and write the youths of today isn’t necessarily that they get the slang wrong, which, I’m sure is the case as well a lot of the time, but it’s mostly that they dial up the intensity to 11, so it ends up sounding like a parody, rather than a legitimate attempt. That’s probably not the point about 95% of the time, because the olds would rather portray like, their kids, basically, as moronic incomprehensible idiots, instead of making a minor attempt to understand them and how they communicate and the world they’re raise in, but I guess that’s just kinda what lead poisoning does.
I dunno, I find it kind of funny, because the youths will be milling about, minding their own business, but then you post like “uhhh skibidi toilet rizzler gyat that monocolored sweater is so preppy” and then all their boomers laugh their ass off, lose their minds, and are like “this is SO true I’m SO old hoo lee”. The zoomers aren’t the ones laughing at the garbled nonsense speak, bro. If that’s not an indication that the elderly are completely cooked, I dunno what is.
I wonder what they’ll do if someone actually texts them using that language. Do they have a teenager on staff for the express purpose of translating it?
Apple, in an attempt to leverage social pressure to drive sales instead of actually providing a quality product, displays texts from Android devices in a deliberately unpleasant to look at shade of green, and cripples features of the group chat if even one member of it is using a non-Apple device, incentivizing groups of friends and even families to ostracize people for using a different phone.
Apple users get the option to “react” to messages, adding things like 💜 or 👍 to the message. Since it’s not natively supported by other messaging apps, those users get a message that looks like mine instead of an emoji.
If someone blew up the toilet or smtg sus, hmu. tbh we high-key tryna glow-up this campground frfr. can’t stop won’t stop til this place straight up slays ong. need ur help fam. thx
Absolutely, I’m just relaying what I’ve heard in case the commenter wants to talk with some youths in their vernacular. I don’t want them to be all “holler me up my fellow kids!”
A time-proven antidote to aging is incorporating more youthful slang into your vocabulary. And before you clapback at me, I've been trying it myself and it's pretty bussin' bruh. I'm dripping all over the place now!
I’m an older guy - over 60 - and I absolutely love using slang that was popular before I was born. At work, I liberally say things like “swell,” “keen,” and “golly.” I’ve been doing it for years; when I started, everyone knew what I was doing (most laughed), but now there are a lot of folks who are young enough that they just assume it’s slang I grew up with, which makes me laugh.
Man if I had more fucking ambition or energy, you’re absolutely right and I could be so rich right now but again, I’m lazy and full of depression… but if somebody runs with this idea, can I be on the team? I need a win in my life.
If that’s accurate then I got old way faster than I thought I would. At least I can take solace in the fact that I’m probably on the younger end of Lemmy users.
