I guess I’m too old for this. Or is this funny?
Probably to the “oh my god new slang so cringe this youth” crowd. You know, those who always said they’ll never get old and annoying non-understanding adults… and now became exactly that. 😁
i still do not see good evidence for this being actual slang people use seriously, it just looks like old video game ads where adults write scripts with what they think kids sound like, and then we look back and laugh at how stupid it is
That’s because it’s exaggerated, and the kids play into it rather than cringing and moving on like you might have when you were a kid and adults tried using your slang. The reason is that unlike previous generations, gen Z has incorporated it into youth culture as a result of the current state of the internet and has a name to call it by: brainrot.
We are definitely too old for this shit
If it reads as gibberish, you’re too old. If it makes perfect sense, you’re too young. Somewhere in between those ages is the funny zone, where you can sorta understand what it’s meant to be doing.
I’m in the correct age, and terminally online enough to understand most of it. I can say 3 things:
- Kids don’t actually use these. There’s an overlap between the latest slang and brainrot terms, and most of the ones that don’t overlap primarily originated in some slang or common term, but nevertheless the majority of the words here now exist as brainrot terms first, not actual slang irl
- This meme is using most of them wrong. Most brainrot memes do.
- This is one of the lowest effort esolangs I’ve ever seen, so it’s not terribly interesting. It’s literally just python with keywords and some vars replaced with brainrot terms. To see something actually high effort that’s similar, see something like Shakespeare https://esolangs.org/wiki/Shakespeare
Fs in chat for trying to mock Gen Alpha slang.
I know some of the words, but dont see the funny in it, but it’s winter time so I am at a mental state like when Stan realizes he is a cynical cunt and everything is shit.
Maybe I’m old.
You cannot be young enough for this to be normal English, nobody uses this unironically/outside of their online media persona.
I was able to make no inferences about any of the statements or what they mean.
see python:
yep, day day ruined
You know, !aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz exists.
most coherent esolang
Came here to say, I find this more palettable than most such refferernces in the wild.
Gen Z was a mistake
Meh, someone do a 50’s slang one.
I’m gonna say it, this was a little funny
How would you do rizz buzz with this?
I think it’s missing another
its givinginside thelet him cook.(Only young programmers will understand)
Yo chat, we’re cooked
Not even letting your bop cook?
Not worse than any other esolang
I don’t get it? Is it how the youth speak?
The pygyat link explicitly calls it out for brainrot, and there’s even a shitcoin if example.gyat wasn’t sufficient to ruin your day.
Yep, it is. Mostly Twitch streamers and other such online personas, though.
So what does it do?
