Grandpa is just X’ing racist things again!
Oh god, we're about 10 years away from Zoomers grumbling that "kids these days wont know what Tweeting is!"

Isn’t Xing a website?

“I remember when they were still called Tweets”

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!
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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.

And nothing of value was lost.

What’s ‘tweeting’?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months 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.

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

I remember LiveJournal. Get off my lawn.

I’ll have you know Tom was my first friend on MySpace, young whippersnapper!

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