Oh god, we're about 10 years away from Zoomers grumbling that "kids these days wont know what Tweeting is!"

  The zoomers were never on Twitter. Too busy with their Snappychats and Tikkytalks.

    Does the term „stan twitter“ ring any bells? It‘s filled with parasocial teens dedicating their lives to celebrities.

  I love that this is basically a “back in my day” but disguised as a problem that zoomers will have. Old man shouts at cloud but instead one day zoomers will yell at water in the sky!

    Yes. That’s exactly what’s happening. I recently heard someone my age lamenting the fact that kids these days don’t know what the save icon is because they don’t know what floppy disks are. I thought “Who gives a fuck?” Then later on a TV show I saw people using the verb “Tweet” and I thought “Well that’s going the way of the dodo” and here we are.

  Fair enough. I’m Gen-X and I started complaining about “kids today” when I was about 15. I’ve always been an old man.

  What’s ‘tweeting’?

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s like Xing but with less racism.

    It’s the sound a higher frequency range audio speaker makes

  I even ‘favorite’-d a tweet instead of like back then…

  Let’s just hope people will forget that shithole before they can get nostalgic!

  If you Tweet on Twitter I vote messages on X be called X-crements.
