This is why I cannot dislike the 67 meme. I don't actively like it or anything but we have our own funny number and there were 42 as well and 21 for a while.

There are definitely things to criticize about the new generation, I am not denying that, but finding a number amusing is too inoffensive for me to care.

As a dad who tries to connect with his kids, I made a 67 reference last week. Their response: "Oh Dad, 67 is old now." Kids these days can't even commit to the bit. 🤣

You made it old when you said it. Could you imagine your own parents making 420 jokes?

The middle ground fallacy

[-] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 15 points 5 days ago

I always wondered when I'd stop being the one being hated by adults and start being the one hating kids. I always wondered what it would be that I "didn't get". I thought, I'm tech savvy. I don't know in what way I would be left behind by future generations. I could not have predicted this.

I don't know what "based" means, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

[-] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

It's the opposite of "cringe"

[-] MathiasTCK@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Hardly, the use of based this way is cringe.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/based

(Internet slang, originally 4chan slang) Admirable for rejecting political correctness or socially progressive values. Synonym: unwoke based and redpilled My last account got banned for being too based.

well that's what it originally meant

I've mostly seen it referring to other things, sometimes non-political things and sometimes political things but as a positive statement about something progressive

Dont get me started on skibidi toilet!

Our glorious Gmod videos

Their horrible SFM animations

[-] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago

I legit enjoy it and think it's a fun commentary on legacy vs contemporary media.

I grew up on source film maker slop but I will take the opportunity to hate on the corporatisation of SFM shitposts. Why the fuck is there skibidi toilet merch? A movie? What the fuck, are they going to make a movie based on Shrekophone? Fucking fuck I want off this ride

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 9 points 5 days ago

TBF though, the Slop Posting isn't comparable at all. Slop is actual negative value given form.
