I just realized that I’m probably older than George. At least in the earlier seasons.

This is always upsetting.

Same for rewatching iasip. I think they're late 20s when it started.

Are millennials the new boomers now? Or is this meme about older generations making fun of millennials? I can't follow anymore.

If I’m forced to say it to fit in, it’s your fault.

Not to sound like a boommer but I really dislike "finna" like how much do you need to shorten a term like finally gonna

It's dialectic -- there's lot's of them in the US, but this one afk belongs to Black American English, and is shortened from "fixin' to." Personally, I think it's cool to see so many variations of English. The language is definitely not static; it is changing all the time!

"finna" has been around since the 90s, I just listened to a tupac song where they were saying that

Can someone also explain 'go brrr', cause I just think of vibrating doorstop springs, but that can't be right...

[-] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's from a meme, "Money printer go brrrr" ~~which was I think a spin off of the "It prints money!" meme for the original Wii~~ (Edit: did some research and I think they're unrelated.) Its the sound of the machine, printing money, it go brrr.

I've seen it used for all kinds of things, but "go brrr" is basically a dismissive way of talking about how "winning" something is.

Edit: I think Picard Manuever explains it better actually, and while I don't think my usage note is untrue from how I've seen the meme used in evolutions, I'd have to agree that it originally and usually takes the form they described.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago

It's just the sound of some machine running, but the meme is usually something along the lines of:

"You can't do X, you have to do Y!"

"X goes brrrr"

The humor is in stubbornly doing something in a dumb way.
