The only way to stay on top of the new shit is to heavily use tiktok. As soon as tiktok became the main thing I completely fell off the meme culture since I won't use tiktok
- Embrace getting old and intentionally using out of date slang incorrectly. It's totally on fleek.
  
  Where I come from, that's not a very tight thing to say.
  
  Those yeets were totally fam, lit.
  
  Well you're obviously streets behind.
- Agreed, and same here! Have to assume I’m not missing out on much lol
- Same, once it falls out of favour I will hopefully get back into those fresh memes, but I just won’t use/be that particular product
- Apparently Josh Hutcherson posing is a meme and I was confused by my zoomer buddy sending me random gifs of him.
Sometimes it's best to wait a while to see if the fad can survive wider culture. Remember:

fidget spinners,

what does the fox say

ice bucket challenge

flossing,

harlem shake,

planking,

what colour is the dress?

pwned

Neither does anyone else.
- Pwned is eternal though
  
  Does it still get used?
- I mean, the Ice Bucket challenge wasn't supposed to be a long term, it raised quite a lot of money
- I remember the dress. Mostly because it's related to a recent attempted murder. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/14/man-mother-in-law-blue-black-dress-viral-charged-trying-to-kill-wife
  
  This is bananas.
  
  Also why did they focus the story on the son-in-law that way, instead of talking about the murder victim? The murder victim whose mother owned that dress? If you're going to force that connection, the verbiage would be much easier to deal with talking about the victim, her mother, and her husband the alleged murderer.
  
  Permanently Deleted
- I remember all of those except planking, unless you mean the exercise.
  
  Yeah it's like that but dumber.
  
  Heh, and of course there's a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_(fad)

This is called wisdom.
I just had a student say “I don’t think anyone actually likes skibidi toilet, but some people just keep saying it!”

I just gave a slow nod.

Just some absurdist humor. Anyone remember kingdom hearts stupid files? This feels similar to that kind of 1am loopy humor.

We're all just reaping what we've sown throughout the early days of the internets.

Skibbidibbidip yom badda dup?
- Yom badda dup.
  
  I am not the Scat Man.
tfw you get caught flipping a grunt
- Like in halo?
I'm down for a good gyat. Everyone deserves a good booty slang.
@The_Picard_Maneuver I feel like I keep waking up to new mysterious acronyms that are suddenly widely used. I had a field day trying to figure out what FWIW meant once it showed up.
- isn't "FWIW" like decades old though, grampa?
that would make me 23 skidoo
First of all skibidi toilet is amazing art.
I got lost about FYTY changes of lingo ago.
You're right, I read the headline too fast. Updated my comment.
