and we wondered why everything was a GameBoy or a Nintendo for our parents

No no! THIS is different ! 😀 it's because it's funny to mess with kids.

My routine when I walk into the room where my daughter is playing a game:

  1. Identify the game she is playing.
  2. Ask her how <activity in game she isn't currently playing> is going. Like if she's caught all the Pokémon when she's playing Minecraft.

I'm not even trying to be subtle about it, but am still not sure she realizes I'm doing it deliberately. Either way, she corrects me with exasperation each time.

You keep joking about Doop and it's going to come true.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 13 points 1 day ago

When I hear "20 yrs ago" I still think 90s. 😭

[-] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

I still think 90s when I hear 8-9 years ago.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I remember in 2010 when someone posted a meme on ragecomics that showed how sad they are that some people still use 'years ago' to refer to the early 90s...

[-] metalsd@eviltoast.org 10 points 1 day ago

Well and here we are! I don't even know if peeble and doop are real places online or she just made it up to make a point 😆

[-] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Made it up. Please. Dear god. Please.

I used to work at a hikers' hostel on the Appalachian Trail. A group of hikers needed a ride into town but were short on cash. One of them suggested they offer the hostel owner some weed in exchange for a ride. Another one said, "He doesn't smoke weed. He's old, like in his 40s." He actually was in his 50s and bought his weed from me lol

As somebody who was born in 2007, I have no clue who modern celebrities are either. People consider me out of touch but I have no idea what half of what people around me are saying. The acronyms don't help and I am too scared to search them up.

Woah, 2007ers are 18 now. 👴

In the distant future, when we look back on scattered social media caps, we will regret that the date of posting is not shown. Like scattered pages from books unknown, page numbers elided.

The fun thing is that none of this stuff is going to survive long-term at all. Databases are backed up onto forms of media that have a very short lifespan. Only material that is endlessly copied forward (like DNA) will still be around, and nobody is going to pay for that kind of archiving, at least not for the generally trivial bullshit that comprises social media. FWIW this fact make me happy.

[-] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago

As civilization has progressed, we've done more and more writing and record keeping and done so an less and less durable media. From stone to clay to papyrus/parchment to paper to film to digital media.

I feel like there needs to be some kind of write once media that's extremely durable and reasonably dense for digital data specifically for long term archival purposes. What's the digital equivalent to carving something on a stone tablet, that a thousand years from now despite age and weathering could be dug up in a field somewhere and still hypothetically be at least mostly readable?

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If you want reliable media to last on a timeline relevant to our lives and even several generations, look into M disc blurays. Though, similar to dual layer dvds back in the day, it's much easier to find a writer than the media itself. But it claims lifespans of centuries to millennia rather than decades usually associated with other disc media. They are actually etched instead of just using some fancy ink. Readable by normal drives, too. It's just on the writing side that you need one that can specifically handle M discs. It also supports multi-layers, but those are even harder to find and get pretty pricey.

Still not likely a way to pass information ahead to civilizations even tens of thousands of years away, and even before they break down, a new civilization would need to figure out how to read and interpret them (when we had trouble reading hieroglyphs from known civilizations that we could read directly with our eyes).

But at least they should be relatively safe to write, verify, then forget about for a few decades until you find them and want to take a walk down memory lane. Assuming you can still get a bluray reader at that point, or held on to one. Pack them together and future you or your heirs might be grateful.

I'm a school bus driver and my elementary school kids go on about somebody named "Queso" (sp?) on Youtube and I find myself constantly fighting the urge to see what he's all about. It can't possibly be good.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He's a streamer whose chat makes fun of him for being fat. Caseoh.

I was talking to my primary-school age kids about their teachers, and one of them says their next teacher will be Mr Smith.

"He's old," they said, "he must be at least fifty".

I said "nah man. Mr Smith is probably only a few years older than me, early forties I reckon".

They had me with "no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

"no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"

I think this is a fair dig haha

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 84 points 2 days ago

Yeah, the other day I was consulting with another therapist, and I was telling her how in EMDR therapy I often say “don’t give me the whole article, just the headline” when I want to explain to the client to avoid talking too much during EMDR. she works with teens, and she went “yeah, that will not fly with my clients.”

We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.

[-] Yucky_Dimension@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago

"Give me the clip, not the VOD." How do you do, fellow kids?

I don't regret any of this one bit, you look them up and it's always someone shilling products extremely hard while doing extremely low effort content like reaction videos or streaming Minecraft.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This.
The TV stations around me are desperate to attract the young viewers, so they always have influencers as guests on their shows and what not, and I simply do not get it.

Today's guest: Billy Bobberson.
What's he famous for? Oh he posts some selfies on Instagram daily and every other post is a sponsored brand promo.
Why the fuck do people even follow influencers like this???

The fact that 'influencer' is a legitimate job title is proof that humanity is doomed.

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago

They aren't some symbol of the end times or anything, they're just a symptom of the sort of attention based economy we've built up here in America. They exist precisely because you can get paid to shill products while playing Minecraft.

If we reign in the marketing and advertising industries then influencers will fall alongside them.

Or, if we regulate "proper" ads and fail to do the same to influencers, whether on purpose or not, then they will become a primary source of advertising. Depending how this is handled could be a good or bad thing.

I'm 29 so maybe I'm too young for this statement but if you ask me it's because younger celebrities tend to be the result of nepotism and don't have any actual talents.

My friend with young cousins was telling me that kids are using "sigma" instead of "cool" now?

"That's so sigma, bruh."

The fuck?
