They laugh at everything. They laugh because they’re nervous. They laugh at shit Pewdiepie does.

Don’t worry about the laughing.

If we wish to end the flossing (and I sooo do), us Oldz must learn how, and perform it as an inappropriate response to things our kids tell us.

@cstatman: This video is funny and instructive. Thank you for sharing! (Off to learn a stupid emote so I can humiliate my son, mwah, ah, ah, ahhhhh.)

For awhile there, the youngster way to say that they were experiencing any sort of emotions (“I am happy” or “I am awestruck” or “I am wistfully saddened while experiencing a wave of regret”) was to say something like “so many feels right now!” or “oh, the feels” (short for ‘feelings’). It was dumb and I’m so glad it’s going away.

Hmm. My mood feels even more depressed now.
No wonder people take the piss out of these people. Everyone has feelings or is in one or other mood - all the time!
If the poor dears cannot articulate WHAT they are feeling, maybe it’s because they’ve corrupted their own vocabularies.
Now get off my lawn! :wink:

I’m going to say yes, yes it does. ( I hope).

Only until they figure out how to get around the limit. Which I’m okay with, because discovering tricks is part of the fun of being online.

How does one say “you damn kids get off my lawn” in Gen Z-speak?

I guess we’ll have to wait a couple decades to find out.
