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
Untubular dude. Untubular.
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.
Ew, don’t drip on me.
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 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.
I would expect at least some of those acronyms to be all lowercase too tbh
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 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
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?
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
You and me both. They went a little too hard in the middle, but the beginning and end were decent.
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.
marklar squanch
At that point, we may as well just return to monke and speak in grunts and ooks.
(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.
no. zyzz was niche for millennials.
Maybe in your country, he was not niche for millenials in Australia.
Yeah okay Auntie Donna
Groovy!
Wassup playa!
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
I’m so sorry. Do you need a hug?
I could use one for sure
hug
Edit: steal wallet, grab ass
I feel like ChatGPT pulled this right out of 1999.
Thanks park ranger Guy Fieri
damn is lit and low-key really out of date now?
I tell you the rapper‘s tongue that was lit AF back when Pimp my Ride was the shit is gonna be old lad‘s lingo sooner than…. The PS5 lost its stance to the PS6
Accurate, but cringe
frfr
No cap
So, accurate.
It would have to be cringe to be accurate
Forgot to say no cap, on god
Fr fr fr
not the french
En guarde
Sortez la guillotine !
🏳️
I have a tendency to read that as “fuck, right?”
fr = for real
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
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.
I just meant about which NPR piece was cringe, LOL. That’s half the brand at this point, at least on weekends.
When the campground texts you back with a green bubble
When your opinions are based on bullshit brand loyalty free marketing

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…”
Wat
Apple users get the option to “react” to messages, adding things like 💜 or 👍 to the message. Since it’s not natively supported by other messaging apps, those users get a message that looks like mine instead of an emoji.
Ohh, but why in this context then still
because… the person I was replying to was talking about it? The intent was to be funny, I suppose.
It also fucks with the quality of videos to the point where they are unwatchable if you have an android
[deleted]
Does it work?
That’s hilarious. I love it
Only if it’s ironic
I’d much rather people text than phone me, it’s like a primative ticketing system
Exactly. I can triage everything.
I assume the language used is already dated. They’ll need to change the sign every year.
Needs some bussin, no cap and fr fr.

needs more bets and caps, right?

I… read this in John Oliver’s voice?
“cool”
hello fellow kids!
It’s weird seeing English become unreadable from the other side. It’s like going back to ye olde Englishe but forward in time.
This is so cringy. I also feel old
