You know how it goes, first people start saying the silly meme phrase “ironically”, then they can’t stop themselves saying it, then it becomes awkwardly unironic, and then it gets embedded in the lexicon and Miriam-Webster adds it to the dictionary
2060 is going to be lit fam AHEM I mean it’s going to be funny
- fr fr
  
  France France
- I am guilty af here, fr.
- Merriam-Webster's been adding stuff to the dictionary long before it's even really embedded in the lexicon lately. Probably trying to stay relevant.

Are the front curls really such a zoomer thing? I've been dealin' with'em for decades now because Arabic and Irish heritage means my hair is constantly in rebellion against british beauty standards
- It's become a zoomer thing. Last Xmas my friend's little cousin of Polish and Polish heritage was rocking them instead of his usual arrow straight hair.
  
  cousin of Polish and Polish heritage
  Sure he doesn't also has some Polish in him? Maybe a bit of Polish too?
- I imagine, with that heritage, every part of you is in constant rebellion against the British!
  
  As well they should be.
- Broccoli cut
- I thought the Meet Me at McDonald's was just curly on top, shaved back and sides. Dubya in this pic looks like one of those goldfish with the big sticking-out brain.
  
  Article doesn't explain why they felt the need to ban it?
- Fuckin Birds nest

and the al-qaeda be like: "lmao gotem"
- Airplane hits tower.... pilot yelling "KOBE"

The zoomer haircut xD
- The Brokkoli, it's pretty fetch.
  
  Stop 👏 trying 👏 to make 👏 fetch 👏 happen 👏👏👏
  Or is the clap more of a millennial thing 🤔
- It's called the "meet me at McDonald's" haircut. No joke
  
  It's actually typically called the "Broccoli cut."
  At least that's the only way I've heard it.

Why the heck is this in /c/shitpost? That's a quality post and it belongs to the front page lmao
- Lemmy loves shit and poo this is where the nuggets hang

Situation is very sus

9/11 was not poggers

I know I'm old but what does 'no cap' mean?
- A cap is a lie /exaggerated boast so no cap = I am being serious or this is the truth
  
  Fr
- It means you're being On God Fr Fr about something
  
  *sumfin
  
  Bet
  
  🗿💀
- It means "I am not being capricious"
  Jk I have no clue and don't care don't correct me
  
  This is now fact in my head cannon
- “Cap” is a lie or exaggeration.
  So “no cap” is “I’m not lying/I’m being serious.”
  
  Do you by any chance know if this expression stems from twitch chat? I've heard the expression "No Kappa" pretty early there where kappa is the trollface of the platform often indicating something is meant ironically.
  On the flip side "No Cap" could indicate the absence of irony and therefore something bering dead serious
- popularized from the Young Thug and Future track of the same name:
  My removed can't sleep at my house
  Make her sleep at a hotel now
  And when you talk, man, you talking off cap
  And your diamonds they looking like tap
  I was always ducking from the paps
  Keep an R&B removed in my lap
  Out in Beverly Hills, I adapt
  But I still had to ride with that strap
  Yellow diamonds like banana, that's cap
  Put some dirty in Mello Yello, no cap
  Rocking Maison Margiela's, that's cap
  Red removed, Cinderella, no cap
  I can turn perroI can turn Pedro
  Bad removed out the ghetto

frfr?
- On g

Rizz
- fr fr
- I see your rizz and raise you a skibidi. (probably b/c I like the way that word sounds in my head... sk-i-bi-di do dah day 🎵 🎶 )
  Also, rizz means "the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner" so... now I have to think about GWB strutting his stuff, thanks for that:-P (that's surely what made me think of my own word... gotta flush it out somehow?)
  
  Rizz is just short for "Charisma"
  
  🎶Sticking out your gyat for the rizzler! You're so skibidi, you're so Fanum tax...🎶

Iraq Sus!

sir the twin towers got phanum taxed

I was watching the Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve from 1999 and immediately after the ball dropped they cut to a shot of the NYC skyline with the WTC intact.
My Zoomer kid was shocked. Every time they've seen the WTC it's been at the start of some 9/11 documentary.
- It's in every "cut to a shot of NYC" scene pre-2001
  
  I don't think the kids these days are watching a lot of "You've Got Mail"
  
  So nothing they would have seen since they're still kids and were born well after 2001
  
  Well, every shot from 1973 to 2001 at least.
  
  Still kinda weird for me to see the NYC skyline without them tbh. And I was 10 when 911 occurred.. and I’m not even American
  
  And movie trailer ...(like Spider-Man)

This is going to be "too soon" until all of the millennials are dead.
- Everyone outside the US are over it, especially considering the war to follow
  
  Yeah I can see that.
- It's been 22.3 years since 9/11 though.
  
  Don't make me feel old. That's not nice! But yeah I know. It's just still such a gut punch.
- George Carlin was first.
  Joan Rivers got there just after.
  We've been laughing at jokes about 911 for ages. Being edgy isn't new, even boomers do it
  
  I remember Gilbert Gottfried at a Friar's Club roast. Can't remember what the actual joke was, but I remember he lost the whole audience, and then won them back with a spontaneous telling of "The Aristocrats"
  Kudos for Carlin, who made fun of government propaganda. Maybe not so much for Joan Rivers for making fun of FDNY widows.
  (I'm not a boomer, though. Or a millennial. Or really that edgy anymore, if I ever was....)
  
  Oh I know. And there's some lessening of the emotions, I'm not enraged by the jokes this time. Just...sad.
- Millennials in NY were cracking dark jokes about 9/11 in high school. “Too soon” never existed for some of us.
  
  That's coping humor. There's no stopping that.
- I feel attacked! 9/11 this mf!
- Maybe, but we're already dead inside.

Why does zoomer Bush look like Tony Khan?
- Why does Tony Khan look like zoomer Bush?
  
  It's the brown-eyed cocaine stare.
- Fuck now I can't unsee it

Jus me bro but dick cheynz be acting sus tho fr fr

Imagine if George Bush had a low taper fade

YouTuber Sven Johnson: Someone copystrike this meme, they stole my hair.
