    Can’t wait for posts that’ll ask their “skibidi rizzlers” if the screenshot is “gyatt” or part of the “fanum tax”, frfr

      Gen-X here. Millenials felt like our younger siblings. Gen-Z feel like our kids and our pride and joy. Gen-Alpha so far feels like that bad acid trip we had back in '91 about Garbage Pail Kids.

        Considering the state of the world they’re growing up in, I can’t really blame them.

      Chat is the first fourth person pronoun. Change my mind

  I feel like you might be out of the loop here. I want to help. “Chat, [statement or rhetorical question]” has become a meme slang, like millennials calling dogs anything but dogs (pupper, good boi, heckin floof, etc). It comes from Twitch, AFAICT, where streamers use this unironically (and ironically) to interact with their chat.

    My name starts with Chat (real name too, but pronounced with Sh instead of a ch) and Chat/Chati are my nicknames. I know how Karens feel when memes use their names…

    So Karens need to stop fucking whining, it ain’t that bad and some of us have been hearing people equate our name to shit since middle school and just chuckle.

        I had a real Don Glover moment too where I had heard people replace the Chat with shit but didn’t realize telling the people hiring me they could just call me Shat would sound weird.

        Boss later told me how weird it was explaing to the team that Shat would be joining the team soon.

        “He goes by Shat?”

        “That’s what he told me.”

    I’m not, it’s twitch streamer lingo, I know. Asking this how OP did, in a post, like people posting here are OP’s parasocial fans, is just immensely disrespectful. Why not just ask “Is this real?”

      I don’t think so. It’s just gen Zalpha for “you guys” in my experience.

      it’s twitch streamer lingo

      I’m not sure which came first, but in my friend group we often will use similar terminology in our group chats. “Hello chat, I just…” “Good morning chat, should I be concerned about…”
