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.

Groovy!
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.
no. zyzz was niche for millennials.
Maybe in your country, he was not niche for millenials in Australia.
Wassup playa!
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!
“can’t stop won’t stop” is definitely the most out of place.
And “campground” is too many syllables. If someone actually said that they’d replace it with something else
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”
Thought about this a little bit, and I think my conclusions is that the thing that kills when boomers try to relate to and write the youths of today isn’t necessarily that they get the slang wrong, which, I’m sure is the case as well a lot of the time, but it’s mostly that they dial up the intensity to 11, so it ends up sounding like a parody, rather than a legitimate attempt. That’s probably not the point about 95% of the time, because the olds would rather portray like, their kids, basically, as moronic incomprehensible idiots, instead of making a minor attempt to understand them and how they communicate and the world they’re raise in, but I guess that’s just kinda what lead poisoning does.
I dunno, I find it kind of funny, because the youths will be milling about, minding their own business, but then you post like “uhhh skibidi toilet rizzler gyat that monocolored sweater is so preppy” and then all their boomers laugh their ass off, lose their minds, and are like “this is SO true I’m SO old hoo lee”. The zoomers aren’t the ones laughing at the garbled nonsense speak, bro. If that’s not an indication that the elderly are completely cooked, I dunno what is.
What if it was a joke the whole time and it isn’t worth diving into the weeds about it.
brother if that’s the weeds to you then your lawn must look spotless
Forgot to say no cap, on god
Fr fr fr
not the french
En guarde
I have a tendency to read that as “fuck, right?”
The translation is accurate and commendable
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.
I wouldn’t know. Because I am old and I feel it right now.
I think it’s warning us about snakes that can kill? I don’t know…
i dont get it either, no cap

Your slang is bussing, fellow skibidi!
Str8 rizz.
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.
I believe you could buss’ in a bussy if you were so inclined
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.
Look at this fuckin drip god over here
Drip god sounds like a brand of a mop or household cleaning supplies.
Man if I had more fucking ambition or energy, you’re absolutely right and I could be so rich right now but again, I’m lazy and full of depression… but if somebody runs with this idea, can I be on the team? I need a win in my life.
Was watching Point Break again the other day and the desire to speak like a 90s surfer dude is kinda overwhelming, compadre.
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.
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”
I would expect at least some of those acronyms to be all lowercase too tbh
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
hello fellow kids!
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
Its definitely fellow kids material but its not far off as of a few years ago. I’d say that hit the mark hard enough that its actually funny
I’d much rather people text than phone me, it’s like a primative ticketing system
Exactly. I can triage everything.
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.
Can someone translate this into emojis?

I am a teenager and can’t understand shit. What does HMU even mean?
It means High Maintenance Uncle. smh my head
ok boomer
Hit me up, it’s more of a 2010s thing
Oh christ we’re already referencing pop-culture of the 2010s, help me I don’t like this aging thing.
“Hit me up” I think
This is so cringy. I also feel old
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?
It means you’re cooler than me.
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.
I just meant about which NPR piece was cringe, LOL. That’s half the brand at this point, at least on weekends.
Is…this what Zoomers think millenials are like?
You’re lit fam.
