The translation is accurate and commendable
I wouldn’t know. Because I am old and I feel it right now.
A time-proven antidote to aging is incorporating more youthful slang into your vocabulary. And before you clapback at me, I’ve been trying it myself and it’s pretty bussin’ bruh. I’m dripping all over the place now!
You’re a radical cat daddyo
I have, on occasion, stuck out my gyat for the daddyo
You’ve just ruined the Irish classic “whiskey in the jar” for me, thanks.
Untubular dude. Untubular.
And just to clarify, it is my understanding that “pretty bussin’ bruh” is quite different than “pretty bussy, bruh”. Correct?
No. They’re the same. I think the second one has become more popular. You should probably just use that. No cap.
(cap)
On God that bruh’s bussy’s straight bussin’ fr fr.
Look at this fuckin drip god over here
Drip god sounds like a brand of a mop or household cleaning supplies.
Ew, don’t drip on me.
I’m an older guy - over 60 - and I absolutely love using slang that was popular before I was born. At work, I liberally say things like “swell,” “keen,” and “golly.” I’ve been doing it for years; when I started, everyone knew what I was doing (most laughed), but now there are a lot of folks who are young enough that they just assume it’s slang I grew up with, which makes me laugh.
Was watching Point Break again the other day and the desire to speak like a 90s surfer dude is kinda overwhelming, compadre.
i dont get it either, no cap
Fr fr ong
Your slang is bussing, fellow skibidi!
Str8 rizz.
What is HMU? The only thing that sounds right if I rack my brain, is “holler me up”, but idk I’m mentally old and can’t keep up with “hip” culture.
“holler me up”
Almost got it! HMU stands for “hit me up”, as in contact me.
I mean, holler also means contact me so it could be that, it would just sound a little silly. Not like holla at ya boi
Absolutely, I’m just relaying what I’ve heard in case the commenter wants to talk with some youths in their vernacular. I don’t want them to be all “holler me up my fellow kids!”
What a violent generation, jk jk
Hit me up. Ie. contact me.
I think it’s warning us about snakes that can kill? I don’t know…
It’s got too much punctuation though. That’s not a dig either, it really does have too much for what they’re trying for.
And missing “u” and “ur”
That was my first thought but then I realized that if I, a 30-something year old old person, understand every word of it, it’s gotta be a lil sus.
If that’s accurate then I got old way faster than I thought I would. At least I can take solace in the fact that I’m probably on the younger end of Lemmy users.
If someone blew up the toilet or smtg sus, hmu. tbh we high-key tryna glow-up this campground frfr. can’t stop won’t stop til this place straight up slays ong. need ur help fam. thx
I have reached the age where I find gags like this - and the massive cringe effect they inflict on young folks - fucking hilarious.
i’m comfortable with my fate. who ever really needed hair on their head anyway?
I admit, the idea of a teenager being highly annoyed by that sign amuses me greatly.
The thing is, all of the grammar is correct so it’s not actually that cringe. They definitely did their research!
Translated for gen alpha:
level 5 gyatt rizz livvy dunne rizzing up baby gronk ice spice wat da dawg doin skibidi toilet in real life only in ohio we go jim zyzz creatine alpha sigma cuh dey board
okay but that conveys no information whatsoever.
I’m like 70% sure they just make up words and infer meaning from tone.
Fellow millennial here. Dis white boy don’t got a clue.
Edit: Ignore this. I replied to the wrong comment. Told you I don’t got a clue.
(it’s a copypasta)
Are you saying that Gen alpha knows who zyzz is? As a millennial that makes me so happy. We’re all gonna make it brah.
Fellow millennial here. Dis white boy don’t got a clue.
I replied to the right comment this time. Finally got a clue.
Wassup playa!
Accurate, but cringe

No cap
So, accurate.
Forgot to say no cap, on god

not the french
A principal I worked for one time asked me to write up a student survey. It annoyed me, so I wrote up the entire thing in that type of cringy try hard lingo. It backfired as she loved it and the students took it. The students in my class looked at me when they gave it to the school and said,“WTF sin_free?” I said sorry, they asked why, I explained the situation, they laughed and we moved on.
Sure, moved on. An entire school has a memory of you being cringe. Every drinking party with new friends will start with “lmao remember when sin_free tried to be funny”
That second sign has big “hello fellow children” vibes.
I took this text and made ChatGPT translate it to 2008 teenager lingo:
Yo, what’s good? If you peep anything sketchy or straight-up wack, like a jacked-up toilet or whatever, hit me up at -number- ASAP. For real though, we’re low-key hustlin’ to make this campground poppin’. We ain’t stoppin’ till this spot’s lit AF and everyone’s vibin’ with it. We’re counting on you, fam. Much love, thanks!
That’s hella accurate
I hate that this feels natural, and I wasn’t even speaking English in 2008
What’s up? Hit me up at -number- if you see anything that is suspect or distinctly uncomfortable or unimpressive, like (I don’t know…) a toilet that got badly messed up or something. To be honest, we are openly and boldly trying to improve the attractiveness of this campground. We are determined to keep at it until this place is obviously desirable and impressive. We need your help, friends. Thank you.
Y’all, I’m an Xennial nerd who likes listening to academic podcasts, NPR, and (as frequently featured on NPR) liberal middle-aged white men singing country-blues-rock. I collect fountain pens and watch college football. I am deeply, deeply uncool. I understood every single word of the teen sign. (though, okay, I learned a couple of them several months ago listening to NPR, LOL).
Does that mean I’m cooler than I think, or the sign is less cool than it thinks?
You’re lit fam.
– an old
Is…this what Zoomers think millenials are like?
It means you’re cooler than me.
Same here. 30s around the corner, but to my knowledge of passed youth I might have had considered a sign using my people’s lingo quite… Disdain.
That NPR piece was cringe AF with words from when I was teenager, and I’m in my 30’s.
You’re gonna have to be more specific, hepcat.
Well it’s been a few months but off the top of my head, on fleek. I haven’t heard that one in years.
When the campground texts you back with a green bubble
What is a green bubble?
Apple, in an attempt to leverage social pressure to drive sales instead of actually providing a quality product, displays texts from Android devices in a deliberately unpleasant to look at shade of green, and cripples features of the group chat if even one member of it is using a non-Apple device, incentivizing groups of friends and even families to ostracize people for using a different phone.
mossy liked “Apple, in an attempt to leverage social pressure to drive sales instead of actually providing…”
It also fucks with the quality of videos to the point where they are unwatchable if you have an android
I am on apple. The other day two people from a group of friends were texting me and sent videos. The apple user sent a nice vid. The next was from a potato back 20 years in time. Or it could have been the latest android flagship. I don’t really know, but it feels annoying and unnecessary.
Does it work?
When your opinions are based on bullshit brand loyalty free marketing

I’d much rather people text than phone me, it’s like a primative ticketing system
Exactly. I can triage everything.
That’s kind of recursive? It tells me to report the cringe.
It’s weird seeing English become unreadable from the other side. It’s like going back to ye olde Englishe but forward in time.
The Simpsons “it will happen to youuuuu” gag still holds true. You’ll never be cool forever. What’s cool will change.
I am a teenager and can’t understand shit. What does HMU even mean?
ok boomer
:(
I’ve REKT every toilet I’ve ever taken a dump in…at least since I started my high fiber diet.
I’ve RIZZED every skibidi toilet I’ve ever taken a mew on…at least since I started jelqing
I don’t know what jelqing is
grabbing the tip of your penis and stretching it as far as you physically can
ouch
it’s what all the kids are into now
