🤣 ok, you’re not capable of discourse, just showboating for up votes. That’s cool I guess.

The key is in the words “utter nonsense”. Prior to Gen alpha slang was always rooted in reality - a word repulsed, or an abstraction, or a phonetic recreation of a regional pronunciation. Gen alpha is gonna make whole new sounds and apply them to Concepts and whole phrases and thoughts. Technically, this is expanding the English language, but it’s going to look phenomenally stupid in the process.

Have you ever seen the sphincter muscles on a civet? Truly a work of art. There’s a whole industry of research dedicated to the little buggers anal capabilities called Musculature-Eroneous of Actual Total Span Pressure and Interspecies Nominaliused. There used to be a website dedicated to the topic, idk if it’s still up but you can give it a shot.

Oh, good for you. You JUST learned what the song meant and got to awkwardly (yet incorrectly) use it in the real world! I bet you’re super proud of yourself 😊

Almost. They prepare the eggs in this fashion, then the Asian palm civet eats it and takes a dump in the classic creme egg shape you know and love.

🤦‍♂️ it’s utter nonsense to the tune of “In The End” by Linkin Park. I’m officially old lol

Please say you’re joking. Even if you’re not, for my mental health, just fucking lie to me.

Do modern bands still print CDs? I haven’t bought a CD in so long that I dont think I even own one anymore. I have bought directly from several bands “bandcamp”/other pages and that was cool. Got mp3, FLAC, artworks, lyrics, etc for less than the price of a CD except every penny went to the band.

I love modern tech and don’t want to see it destroyed but I will gladly go insane like a mountain man if they try to find out how many ads they can serve before it causes siezures.

On the one hand, gross, but on the other, launching a full fledged product (a hand animated cartoon series) to sell the arguably cheaper product is such a high effort move that I’m not even mad. The end result is two high quality products for the target audience - I mean Gen X on down have fond childhood memories of the cartoons and toys.

But GROSS.

Bro this notification popped up, and for a couple of seconds I didn’t see that it was lemmy, I didn’t remember this convo, I just saw the anti-consumer corpo speak and I almost lost my shit. I was straight up furious and I hit the notification to come in here and verbally crap in your mouth.

So yeah, you should look into a career with Micockssoft 🤣

It takes prep, and also, you’re probably not going to truly “cold turkey.” I like music, for instance, and there’s literally only two ways to get music now - streaming or 🏴‍☠️, so you would have to make plans for that. I’m ok with 🏴‍☠️ so I’d be set with that for a good while. I also like books, retro games (which I already have a large library of), and physical hobbies that don’t require internet - hiking, etc.

I will not just lay down and accept intrusive Idiocracy levels of ads though. I will literally “cave man” the rest of life if necessary.

I’m sorry, what? Maybe it’s because I just woke up that I’m not comprehending what you’re saying. I know the transformer movies are product placement showcases, it’s pathetic, but it sounds like you’re calling the very existence of transformers a successful ad campaign.

I don’t care what you don’t like and I’m under no obligation to be nice.

This has been me being nice, it will only get worse from here.
