The zoomers were never on Twitter. Too busy with their Snappychats and Tikkytalks.
I’m here on lemmy, what now?
so you’re like the inverse of that “hello fellow kids” meme?
“Sup my n00bs I’m young but 1337”
Now you and me battle for the supremacy of our respective generations on the fields of Usenet, to honour our ancestors.
This is the way
I remember LiveJournal. Get off my lawn.
I’ll have you know Tom was my first friend on MySpace, young whippersnapper!
“I remember when they were still called Tweets”
I love that this is basically a “back in my day” but disguised as a problem that zoomers will have. Old man shouts at cloud but instead one day zoomers will yell at water in the sky!
Yes. That’s exactly what’s happening. I recently heard someone my age lamenting the fact that kids these days don’t know what the save icon is because they don’t know what floppy disks are. I thought “Who gives a fuck?” Then later on a TV show I saw people using the verb “Tweet” and I thought “Well that’s going the way of the dodo” and here we are.
Fair enough. I’m Gen-X and I started complaining about “kids today” when I was about 15. I’ve always been an old man.
They’re gonna think Gen X refers to the generation of The Site Formerly Known As Twitter.
If it even exists in the future.
“The x formerly known as y” is a reference that won’t be understood by much of the youngest generation.
If you Tweet on Twitter I vote messages on X be called X-crements.
What’s ‘tweeting’?
It’s the sound a higher frequency range audio speaker makes
I even ‘favorite’-d a tweet instead of like back then…
Let’s just hope people will forget that shithole before they can get nostalgic!
