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.
I haven't seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.
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?
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.
Now I have a side gig teaching night classes at the University, and the students graduating college now weren't alive for 9/11.
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.
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 [email protected]
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!
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)_/¯
Holly Molly! She looks like a ghoul!
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.
the enboomerification of genx is almost complete
it would have happened sooner but millennials needed 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.
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.
Best. Explanation. Everrr.
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.
>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.
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.
Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.
I would stream my peeble, but then I'd get demonitized or banned for indecency.
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
It's pathetic that people make being out of touch their whole identity. She's not far from "kids these days!"
their whole identity
It’s a joke on the internet
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.
