    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!

        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.

      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.

      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.

    • Sombyr@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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 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?

    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I admit, the idea of a teenager being highly annoyed by that sign amuses me greatly.

      source
      • tkk13909@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The thing is, all of the grammar is correct so it’s not actually that cringe. They definitely did their research!

      I wonder what they’ll do if someone actually texts them using that language. Do they have a teenager on staff for the express purpose of translating it?

    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

    That’s kind of recursive? It tells me to report the cringe.

      And standing there texting to report the cringe, after the first time, would be so fucking cringe.

  • sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

    source
    • Maalus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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”

      source
  • wjrii@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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 I leanred a couple of them several months ago listening to NPR, LOL).

      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.

        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. Teenagers took the bait hook line and sinker.

    source
  • daltotron@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.
