Just to make some of you feel old: I'm gen Z and I'm 25.

Just to make some of you feel older, I’m gen z and I’m 26

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Imagine being born last century

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I guess I’m in a very narrow window of people who are gen z but born last century

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Last millennia even

Get off my lawn!

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

Thanks, I hate it!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

You're like the tribe elder of your timeline.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

Have you had your first wave of Gen Alpha trends and slang confuse you yet?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Im 27, very first birth year for gen z. And I'm a teacher and this is a multiple times a day occurrence. Also, them laughing at my slang terms that I don't even realise are slang as I'm using them. And the scary bit is, some of them are 18-20, so still firmly gen z too.

Not the person you're replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at "yeet" and "yoink"

[-] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That's at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 3 days ago

Yoink is older than scoobie doo

Yeet is from the Vine era. Gen Alpha has more recent stuff. You know, the whole "skibidi ohio fanum tax amogus rizzler fortnite gyat" thing.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

The most confusing part of that is that alpha are millennials' children. Meaning people from my generation spawned those things. What.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Some of us did.

Lots of millenials with Gen Z kids tho

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

yeah i have no idea what most of those words mean. i only know that "rizz" is a short for charisma, and that gyat means a nice ass, probably

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

Not a gen Z but I'm actually a fan of both of those words. It's like a forceful put or get.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago

It's like a forceful put or get.

Now I kind-of want HTTP verbs for those.

YEET /api/v1/submit HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
Accept: */*
Content-Type: application/json

...

YOINK /api/v1/list HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
Accept: application/json


[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Not the same verbs, and specific to Emacs, but I’m kind of sad cutting and pasting won over killing and yanking

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Oh me too lol, use them all the time, anything that got popular past that though I need to get my little brother to translate

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't been in playschool when yeet became a thing.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

*wouldn’t’ve

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Well you know, I grew up in a rural, culturally lagged area, the slang didn't really catch up until tiktok

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I am still in school and it confuses me already.
