Speak for yourself lol, gen Z absolutely had the internet as kids. So did millennials

Speed limits are not bs. The energy of kinetic motion increases with the square of the velocity. Double the speed, quadruple the amount of energy. That matters.

Were we any better aa kids?

Gen alpha are also like… Literal children

So you know, not surprising

Language evolves, as it always has

Especially in informal writing, tone is important, so various techniques end up developing to transmit that tone. Formal writing, which is what writing mostly used to be used for, does not use large amounts of tone

Smh forgot to download CS: Source

Funny button on the back of the PSU goes click

However also, for many many people smartphones are their only way to access the internet, and it’s the primary device for computing in poorer nations I believe

If there’s one “essential” electronic device these days, it’s the smartphone.

Ok but you go to bed at like 20

It’s nauseating how this shit is celebrated in mainstream media. As if a single person wouldn’t already be in exorbitant luxury with just a few million USD, maybe 10 million in an expensive area

What even is the point

I hate being right

Why do people keep being fooled by rich assholes

Pretty sure they’re implying that they aren’t American

It’s kinda sad how many times people have thrown out racial (and other) slurs in my games. You’d think people would have grown out of that by now

I’m just gonna pretend that I didn’t hear the “without harming yourself” part and go absolutely all out on giving my all just to please others with no regards to my own well being because I only feel like I have value when I do things for others and not intrinsically like you’re supposed to feel and it feels too weird when people do nice things to me just because which I then in turn reject to give more of myself to others :3

That’s not a criticism of bodily autonomy, that is the criticism of work. In other words, it’s a criticism of capitalism again

Can you truly consent if the alternative is not having money and everything that entails? When the alternative is starvation and homelessness? Sex work is not meaningfully different to work in general here

Also I feel like external stressors are only magnifying as well

Wtf, what is this heresy, this isn’t monster! /j

The general young population uses a fair amount of LLM services, so yes

But… Then that’s literally false?

Yeah, modern AI-assistants are LLMs, that’s not surprising. I’d even argue that LLMs are the right tool for the job here (but not all AI, or at least only as the part that binds the rest together)

I’m very disappointed people are making fun of the kids, honestly. It’s like people forgot how this is the exact same situation as when we were kids, with the older people making fun of us

I was hoping that the cycle would have been broken with the internet, but I guess not

It’s just the next step in the evolution of language, humour, culture, and expression, it happened before, and it will happen again. Except it will be somewhat different this time with the internet allowing complex, instant, and global communication. Things will certainly change and develop much faster than they used to. This to me, however, is just exciting more than anything else, I love novelty and new stuff
