slang mostly, I mod a strictly 18+ space and recently someone used the word “skeet”, and would you believe it, they were a minor

BigDiction ,

Awww skeet skeet mutha fuckaaaa

ArcaneSlime ,

Tbh, no. I expected they would be about 32 using the word “skeet.” I’d expect the youth of today to say “cummies” or some other abject disgrace of a word lol.

shneancy ,

Well the exact phrase used was “can’t wait to skeet on your face with [my dick]” so

and I’ve seen grown adults well over into 25+ saying “cummies” lmao

ArcaneSlime ,

One correction, adult in age alone* lol.

No actual “grown adult” says cummies (outside of “for the meme” of course), those are large gross 25yo children.

shneancy ,

nah I wouldn’t gatekeep adulthood like that lol

ArcaneSlime ,

Usually I’d agree, I’ve been called a kid for a lot less myself, but in this case the subject is a word more grating than the classic “Moist.”

chetradley ,

Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.

Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.

When someone asks what’s a dead give away someone is a kid, it tells me they’re not old enough to remember the ASL days.

I wrote a whole goddamn novel-sized autorespond in Polaris that triggered on an asl. I was a 96 year old tibetan yak farmer who was allergic to wool and hated the local monks. I used to pee in their milk until one day the abbot found out and beat me with his hat.

Either that or it started screaming about asexual lizards

fun fact: a lot of people who don’t remember the ASL days are adults now

And this has convinced me I am officially an old. I’m not sure what language about half of that is in and can’t even guess at what some of it means from context.

In case you want to know, OP is misusing half of these words. That said, I swear to God I’ve heard this sentence come out of a kid’s mouth once

TheFonz ,

For me personally the first tell is when they are morally loading every statement in an argument and are unable to engage with a topic directly. Adults should be able to discuss or debate certain topics on the value of the arguments alone without feeling pressured to include a declarative virtue signal in every clause.

HobbitFoot ,

I don’t know. I’ve had this issue with some adults as well.

TheFonz ,

Me too. But in my view they are not fully developed adults and still have some emotional intelligence left to grow.

Appoxo ,

Maybe I’m not understanding it correctly. Could you maybe provide a small example? :)

TheFonz ,

Usually when discussing a heated topic (politics, gun control-take your pick) and trying to discuss the facts of the matter in a neutral manner but the response comes back with every phrase super charged with morally loaded words. Examples of a conversation I had recently (emphasis mine):

sure as hell isn’t PANDERING! What the fuck is wrong with you??

Typical apologist tactic

PRETENDING to care about the brutal slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians

deflecting to your conspiracy theory

shows that YOU don’t care enough about Palestinian lives

It’s very pronounced on this site for some reason. I don’t know why.

Appoxo ,

I assume the quoted part is all one comment from the other party?
Just asking because the formatting looks a bit like conversation.

Besides that, yeah it reads really immature and emotionally charged to the moon and back.

chobeat ,

“debate me” kids are another stereotype on the internet though. The idea that ideas should be entertained and discussed for the sake of it and come without implications attached is just another form of edgyness. It’s another thing that often goes away with age or with touching grass. I know because I was one of them. Now I understand that the fact itself of discussing something publicly has moral implications.

TheFonz ,

Yea, I agree. That’s why I used the word discuss because when the debate-bro mindset kicks in you’re definitely dealing with an angsty teenager (also the constant invocation of logical fallacies).

FryHyde ,

Why does he look so much like Pete Davidson

Rinna ,
@Rinna@lemm.ee avatar

The thing with a lot of the methods mentioned is that I’ve seen both teens that are more mature than me, and people in their thirties that should probably have their internet privileges revoked.

@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

When they start calling people “jr” or implying anyone who disagrees with them is too young to understand.

Feathercrown ,

Yup, I immediately assume these people are children, because it likely comes from their own experiences being dismissed due to their age.

psivchaz ,

Generally when people bring up some personal detail, my immediate reaction is to assume the opposite. Especially if it begins with “as a.” For example: “as a woman,” this person is a man. “As a black person,” this is the whitest person you will ever meet. “As a 60 year old,” definitely ten.

troglodytis ,

As a late 40s white man, I agree

As a poor person who isn’t the president of the US and doesn’t have access to nuclear launch codes, I agree

verity_kindle ,

Too much emotion in their writing. Personal attacks. Doubling down in the reply. Support for the Chinese Communist Party.

qjkxbmwvz ,

Lol, comment removed. It ended with, “…support for the Chinese Communist party” as a way of finding out someone is a child.

Which was then removed in a, dare I say, childish act of moderation.

(Which is fine, the folks at .ml are welcome to censor as they see fit, of course, and I’m sure this comment isn’t long for this world.)

Hextubewontallowme ,

Well, you could count redditor-esque petty opinions as part of that,

That, and using pepe the frog as a PFP… as childish…

frostysauce ,

Dude, fuck these tankie mods. Childish af.

TurboHarbinger ,

Support for the Chinese Communist Party.

Imagine thinking everyone in China is 15yo. It says a lot of you.

frostysauce ,

Imagine thinking everyone in China supports the CCP.

I bet is very relevant to:

On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?

@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

According to Harvard in 2020, 95.5% do. That certainly isn’t 100%, but it’s pretty high, I would say.

LainTrain ,

Writing in short form where a lengthier reply would work better and when confronted with such a reply some form of “not reading all that” or other thought terminating clichés.

I’ve found that as arbitrary as it is - the ability to read a lot of information works pretty well as a mark of mental maturity. Also links to Twitter or Tiktok as discussion points. No one over the age of 19 browses TikTok lol.

Ouch, I think I’m a kid in my 30s

PhobosAnomaly ,

To take it to a logical extreme, it frustrates me when a post that considers both (or more) views and is a well thought out post, is met with a single world reply - as if it’s some sort of “gotcha” or the fact that a single ambiguity in a largely solid argument somehow usurps the entire point.

I tend to think they’re either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.

hemko ,

Agreed, it can be very frustrating - and is often used for that very purpose, to let the person know they just wasted x amount of time to compose a message no one is going to even read let alone take seriously. But I do not think this is really a good indicator for someone being a child, it’s just intentional insult.

I tend to think they’re either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.

There’s a lot of us who are not very great at communications for various reasons. I personally might just lose interest in conversation and can’t get myself to put in the effort to actually contribute value to it and just phase out, and same happens online in a way. As fucking annoying it might be for the person I’m conversing with, it’s not intentional nor meant to insult

LainTrain ,

This is Reddit in a nutshell.

jaywalker ,

I’m almost 40 and I use TikTok every day. It’s literally amazing and I’m always surprised by how many people mock it while using hot garbage like yt shorts or ig

LainTrain ,

I don’t use any of these and have no problems as a result. The only acceptable usage of YouTube is with Sponsorblock, ublock, DeArrow and watch history (and all personalization by extent) off, exclusively through the subscription box as a mumbling talking box to fall asleep to or have on as noise in the background.

bluespin ,

not reading all that…tldr?

MutilationWave ,

One of my coworkers is 43 and he’s on tiktok every day. The olds have come for the kids platform just like they/we always do.

NoiseColor ,

I don’t really know, but when they have weird illogical views that they defend with trump like arguments, I think they are kids. They might not be 10.

Passerby6497 ,

Some people’s bodies continue to grow well after their brain stopped developing.

dejected_warp_core ,

Yes, but it’s a little worse than that. One might take that to mean environmental, congenital, or even genetic factors. But there’s more. Consider the role that trauma has to play here as it can directly cause arrested psychological development:

psychcentral.com/ptsd/signs-trauma-has-you-stuck

MutilationWave ,

That was really interesting. I had a friend who’s brother killed himself when he was a young teen. If things didn’t go his way or he was overly irritated, especially when he was drunk, he reacted by destroying things like a pubescent boy might. He also came from a wealthy family so I always thought that contributed as well, like not caring if he breaks something just buy a new one. But he didn’t just break his own things. I had to end the friendship when he drunkenly threatened a woman who lived in my building with a gun. I hope he’s ok.

dejected_warp_core ,

Sorry to hear about your friend. While I’m no doctor, that seems to fit the bill to me. I’ve known people that had other trauma when young, and yeah, maintaining healthy relationships seems to be the hardest thing for them. Your story reminded me of a lot.

noli ,

Specifically in games: constantly repeating the flavor of the month insults. Typically some influencer comes up with a funny insult then for the rest of the month some kids use that one singular insult for every situation

Theme ,

Quit yapping 💀

SuddenDownpour ,

“Redditors of Reddit, how do you sexily sex the sex out of sexy sex???”

Serious response: you can’t really make a very general rule. There are a lot of people who write quite maturely since their teens, and a lot of people who are morons since their teens and have endless dedication and determination to remain in that state for as long as they breathe.

I do remember some posts on r/sex back in the day that were absolutely kids (teens) and you could tell by how

  • Freaked out they were about totally normal stuff.
  • Excited they were about how great sex is.

I remember there was a funny day when there were two top upvoted posts on r/sex (probably in like 2017) where one was like

  • It turns me on when my boyfriend masturbates to me, am I normal?

And the other one was like

  • I (female bodied, they/them / nb) am a furry and my wife and I like to pretend that I’m a wolf and I’m hunting and eating her. What can we make that will look and feel like real organs I can “rip” out of her stomach and eat, and what could we use for fake blood that would be the easiest to clean up?

People kept linking the second one in the first one and reassuring this poor girl that she’s totally normal.

Absolutely based, all the rest of us plebs just need to learn about the depth and power of their kinkiness. Cheers to their banquet.
