This one has been easy for me lately: They spell ‘lose’ as ‘loose’.

xorollo ,

I do this. All. The. Time. Did it today. I tend to notice it and fix before send.

I know far too many people in their 40s who do this.

The way I try to reinforce the difference with people is this mnemonic device:

You don’t want a loose noose - or you might lose the extra ‘o’.

twei ,

You could also just send them a link to the song “loose yourself” by snoop dawg

hydrospanner ,

I associate this with boomers more than kids, but that’s subjective since an old former friend I know always used to do it.

They also used “seen” instead of “saw”, as in, “I seen dark clouds so I closed the windows.” which is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

DoucheBagMcSwag ,

“skibidi” “rizz” “sus”

skyspydude1 ,

I’m approaching 30 and will gladly use all of those both ironically and unironically.

@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Approaching 50, use SUS regularly, skibidi usage is dropping off, I’m aware of rizz but don’t really use it.

CaptPretentious ,

Sus is actually a really old word.

AVincentInSpace ,

Maybe I’ve just been hanging out in the wrong places but I have never heard any of these terms used except by previous generations mocking what they think gen alpha is like

rozwud ,

I haven’t heard rizz, but working in an elementary school, sus has been around for awhile, and skibidi was just starting to get frequent enough to be super annoying towards the end of the school year.

twei ,

Rizz is basically just short for charisma

rozwud ,

Good to know!

The other day I heard a random (young) girl say “what the sigma” and I had trouble keeping it together

rozwud ,

Oh that one was was going on constantly the last month or so of school!

linearchaos ,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

That may be a better way to weed boomers from Gen X. Especially SUS, among us had a very wide appeal to multiple age ranges.

MentorKitten ,

Sus isn’t even that new. Been using that since gmod ttt

Reddfugee42 ,

Alpha / Beta male noise. Ok kiddo we get it, you’re insecure

HelixDab2 ,

Erm, no, that was popularized by Millennial PUAs, who are all solidly middle aged now.

11111one11111 ,

Fuck you we’re not middle age we’re upper aged young adults./s

CaptPretentious ,

Upper aged young adults… I’m stealing that, 😂

Reddfugee42 ,

That’s great but hopefully they grew out of it. The incel kids these days still run with it.

11111one11111 ,

Wait how’d we go from alpha/beta obsessed millennials to incels?

I thought incels were internet communities that blame women and society for them being permanently single/virgins or something like that.

And thought the former were the roided bro communities where a sentence isn’t a sentence until it has some version of bro in it. Usually womanizers but as gym rats were also usually appealing enough to women.

Are these the same groups now? Lol

HelixDab2 ,

The PUA-types and this alpha/beta/sigma nonsense really appeals to the incel crowd. They believe that they can somehow game relationships in order to get sex. Like, they do steps a, b, c–which is the kind of systems PUAs are/were pushing–and you get laid.

The whole thing is a constellation; I don’t think any of those groups exists in a vacuum, and there’s lots of points where they cross over.

11111one11111 ,

Fuck me I’m old 🤣 Googled “PUA Types” and only got Pandemic Unemployment Assistance articles hahahaha I give up.

twei ,

I completely agree with you. I, too, cannot respect anything below a real sigma (like myself) (/s)

if you wanna tell apart american gen z from gen alpha, ask them if they know what this is:

gen z used these smartboards and the teacher always made someone recalibrate the touchscreen to the projection when it was off

afaik the new spoiled shits all get these in every classroom, they were rolling em out when i was graduating:

https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/09c726c5-2ae0-48c4-975c-2f8cbaf48f47.jpeg

at least in places that can afford it. this might be more true in a few years

@Leg@sh.itjust.works avatar

I never got to see these things in action while in school, but I remember hearing they were on the way. To this day, I’ve still only interacted with analog boards.

SeaJ ,

My very rural school used a technology grant to get a few smart boards (that first kind). I’m an older millennial. They were not as useful as a white board for drawing stuff on the board but quicker to setup for slide presentations.

You have to create an account on another instance.

Leg ,
@Leg@sh.itjust.works avatar

I never would have guessed.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

🤔 true.

MIDItheKID ,

I’m on Lemmy.world because it’s the only instance I could make a account on the day Reddit shut down the API. All of the other popular instances had account creation stopped because of the flood of people.

I could probably make an account on another instance, but I’m pretty lazy. I honestly don’t know what the benefit of using another instance would be.

unionagainstdhmo ,
@unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone avatar

The benefit is more so for other users on other instances. Lemmy.world in particular is causing a lot of trouble for small instances hosted outside Europe and North America. For example in aussie.zone local communities comments are taking 8 days to arrive from Lemmy.world because of the latency and how Lemmy processes federation serially. Hopefully in an upcoming release we’ll get parallel processing of federated activities making this less of a problem

MutilationWave ,

Damn that’s crazy. I knew federation could be slow but eight days is nuts.

unionagainstdhmo ,
@unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone avatar

I mod some of the communities there and having reports arrive 8 days late for some rule violations 8 days ago by Lemmy.world users is annoying

myself ,

Hard disagree. Judging by the memes that get posted around here, not a single user of any Lemmy instance was born after 1980
