And what the hell are all supposed to mean? Also, get off my lawn.

EDIT: I’m talking about “cold”, not “cool”. I’m seeing it being used along with snowflakes and freezing emoji, sometimes even saying “ice”.

      This gets more and more true with everyday. I understand less and less of the world around me.

      I wonder how Gen Z wojld react to something being reffered to as “all that and a bag of chips”.

      And none of this shrinkflation crap. The bag of chips used to be huge!

        I recently had someone explain to me what “And that’s where I came in” meant.

        I expect to explain to people why we say “roll down the window”, or what the save icon is, lol

          What? Roll down your window is self explainitary. You put your hand on the window crank…and…huh. I guess I haven’t seen one of those in years…

          Ok, but the save icon, that’s because of the floppy disc. You just put your floppy into…the…huh. I guess no one uses floppys anymore…

          …wait, am I old???

            “To make it more modern, we could make the save icon a CD!”

            What’s a CD? Oh, wait, that looks like…do you mean a Blu-Ray? Nobody uses Blu-Rays anymore.

                “oh, I think my dad’s old computer had a hard drive. I’ve got an SSD in mine, I think, but I just put everything in cloud storage.”

                    Then it’d just look like a generic building or something! Haha

        Gen Z was born into a fully matured internet. They will just look up any old phrases and immediately learn anything they want.

        “Siri, the hell did i just hear?”
