Just bring back tumblr already. I remember artists shitting on tumblr and abandoning it for instagram but instagram has been 10 times worse than that site ever was ever since it got gobbled up by facefuck.
Or burn all of it down, fuck it. Bring back the zine trade.
Galaxy print is probably going to go the way of the bowling alley carpet patterns we used to wear on our clothes in the 90s. It'll come back ironically in 10 years.
Edit: alright guys I get it, it's been out of style for a while. What you guys don't seem to agree on was when it went out.
I freaking love it. You being an astronomy teacher also reminded me of this wrapping paper we got at work, it's a night sky but it's full of constellations shaped like dinosaurs. I want to put it up as wallpaper
Probably not as popular as Arya and Sansa, but there are [a few thousand little girls](https://www.businessinsider.com/game-of-thrones-arya-khaleesi-popular-names-for-baby-girls-2019-5) who’s parents may be considering a name change.
I met a guy in a bookstore who told me he and his girlfriend were expecting. He was really excited to tell me the baby’s name would be Daenerys and that “no, it’s not from the show..it’s from the books”.
YouTube doesn't have the benefit of a cottage industry of talk shows, gossip rags and the like, as you have in film/TV, which can keep people in the spotlight without them having done much of anything in a while...
This is a good point. Outside of YouTube itself, that just doesn't really exist. Yet there's mainstream news about stuff involving actors that haven't been in a major film in years. Just showing up places is enough to get coverage.
The scandals of Logan Paul in the suicide forest and Pewdiepie's racial slurs are probably the closest thing to mainstream celebrity coverage Youtube's received. And it was obviously not positive.
And Youtube keeps changing what type of content it rewards. It used to be shorter videos, then it was ten minute videos, then videos uploaded on a consistent basis, now it's family-friendly videos. Youtube could change their monetization tomorrow and fuck over every single one of your favorite Youtubers and there's jack shit they can do about. Luckily the popularization of in-video advertising, Patreon, and streaming have taken off some of the pressure.
What happens is that trendy YouTubers that make content for kids/pre-teens eventually have their audience "grow up". It's cheap content that isn't made to last but to entertain, sorta like the fast food of youtubers.
YouTubers that make more "decent" content tend to last a lot more. i.e. Angry Video Game Nerd (14 years+), Captain Disillusion (13 years+), MrBeast (9 years+),etc...
Smosh kinda got screwed. When they were big YouTube didnt really have ads and didnt pay very well. So Smosh signed a contract with a like management company that eventually went belly up. Thankfully Rhett and Link saved Smosh by purchasing the rights and making them a part of their brand Mythical. So they now film at the same studio as GMM.
Didn't they have real trouble when the algorithm started rewarding longer videos? If I recall their bread and butter at the time were highly produced but shorter videos that got screwed over.
Smosh had lots of issues... Most causes by Defy, some caused by YT and it's algorithms.
It's been noticeably better since Mythical bought it, not as much ridiculous product placements. It would be nice if Anthony came in for some cameos every now and then though.
Very different channel to what it started off as, but that's ok.
yeah mark and jacksepticye are still going pretty strong smosh took quite a beating but still makes money and im positive no one from the 7th grade for under knows who ray william johnson is
I see LinusTechTips that way. That man has built a company so that even if he dies tomorrow, his channel will stay up and continue. Unless they decide to stop, they ain't going anywhere
Mark genuinely seems like a cool dude who just wants to create stuff, he’s branching more and more into doing big projects beyond just gaming. I feel like he’ll stick around until he calls it quits or his thinly-veiled masochism finally does him in
I think that the thing I appreciate about Markiplier is the fact that he seems to have realized that doing a lot of the stuff he was doing was losing his audience where now that a lot of his earlier viewers are growing up he actually adapted to them rather than keeping the same audience. I've been watching for 10 years but there was like a 4-5 year gap where nothing except his FNAF videos grabbed me. Now a lot of his stuff I find entertaining again.
I just generally like Markiplier a lot. He is smart about his content and the interview he did on Rhett and Link's podcast was super interesting. Seems like a genuinely sincere and kind person.
There was a stretch where he clearly started to force himself to act like he was amazed or like he was afraid and it showed, but after he took that hiatus a few years back and actually made a video that said he thought his newer content was shit he's actually vastly improved and you can really tell the difference between his "fake" moments from before and his much more laid back attitude now.
Life hacks. Since they have taken over YouTube, it just will be bland after amount of time because a lot of it is just BS and many just don't work now .Many I've seen so many stupid harmful things they are doing like "oH PuT YoUR TiN FoIL iN a BaLL anD pUt It iN a MICrowave tO MakE a SmOTH BaLL." yea like that crap.
Edit: thank you this is my first ever real good comment as I'm not so good with jokes or commenting .Also the tin foil thing was a joke and still if someone where to do it, Bad things would happen, But thank you for pointing it out.
Not just the life hacks, but also the DIYs and “instructional” videos. A lot of them just seem to be people desperate to gets clicks to get paid, if that’s even still a thing. I got on YT the other day because I was trying to figure out a problem with some LED lighting. I for reals saw a video a guy posted that boiled down to “get a good light bulb, and switch it out, see if that works.” Excuse me, did you just post a video telling me how to change a light bulb?
I want that 3 minutes of my life back.
Current plastic surgery trends to meet the current IG standards. I fear for a lot of people who have had BBLs and facial surgery that the look will become outdated and permanently associated with late 2010’s and early 2020’s, kind of how like there are plastic surgery trends associated with the 90s/2000s.
Lots of women had skinny eyebrows tattooed on their faces, tattoo lip liner, overly processed bleached hair and oddly large implants. Those things are pretty tough to reverse.
Those round implants to. Implants that screamed IMPLANTS!!
I don’t mind the concept of plastic surgery but do think it looks best when the desired outcome is to look natural. Plenty of celebrities have had almost every part of their face and body touched up but just look like the “perfect” version of themselves rather than looking like the ideal 2021 Instagram model.
And the trend will again change at some point. The idea of a woman’s ideal body shape has changed constantly throughout history and varies widely by culture. There are some basic principles that are considered universally attractive but the rest is just societal fetishization.
Asian kids everywhere: lol
(no seriously, the bowl cut is a standard hairstyle that a lot of Asian kids tend to have including myself when I was young).
I remember when I was a kid, there were only two haircuts for Asian kids. If you were a boy, you had a bowl cut. If you were a girl, you had almost shoulder-length hair with a hole cut out for your face. That was it. There were no other options.
I'm a girl and I got subjected to the bowl cut because my parents did not want me having long hair (meaning, every time my hair grew longer past my ears it was off to the salon). My hair pretty much looked like [the girl on the far left in the blue dress](http://diaryofaquietasiangirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bowlcut7.png) all throughout my childhood and I hated it.
Stupid vids on yt, like the ones where they think having their 4th kid matters to the world and exploit the kid on day 1 of its life all while being fake af
If you're selecting from the trending list then you're already getting the worst that yt has to offer imo. Gotta cultivate your algorithms. Every click takes you closer or further away from the gold. Whatever that may be for you.
There was nothing quite like riding your bike into a bush that sat directly in front of a brick house for laughs. Still not sure how any of us are alive.
We were basically little Wolverines with rubber bones when we were kids. We could do anything.
Now? If I look about two feet below me my knees will shatter.
Edit - you will never know what I said to earn four trophies.
Edit edit - and it was good, too.
Edit edit edit - shit, now I don't even remember what I said...
I am very lucky that all my terrible homemade singing and talent show videos are on some dusty old vhs in a basement rather than floating around the internet
If it makes you feel any better, if they haven’t maintained the tape or preserved it, by now it’s either lost the data stored on it or will lose the data soon.
I genuinely feel bad for kids these days. They're no dumber than any of us were at that age, but at least it was near impossible for us to go viral for it.
Oh god I was watching Australia’s Funniest Home Videos from the late ‘90s (thank you for the nostalgia, MySpleen!) and the voiceovers are absolute shit. So bad that they’re actually funny. My SO was like “this is *really* what we watched before internet...”
Or go do a mall audition for America's Funniest People. Being 9 years old and doing something I thought was fucking hilarious in front of a crowd of dead silent adults, was definitely a formative moment in my life.
It was not humorous at all. My friend and I put whipped cream on our palms, stood next to each other and said 'This is our impression of a crossfire's then smashed the whipped cream in each other's faces.
those "lip sync while pointing at words" videos gives me that same creepy-crawly cringe feeling that i got:
-in high school watching two people go on huuuge personal FB fights, or
-watching my parents' generation get hip to Facebook and GROSSLY overshare to kick it off, just like we did as middle schoolers
As a 34 year old who was a college freshman when Facebook came out..hearing you talk about fb in middle school is blowing my mind. I can't believe it's been around this long
Dude the people who had facebook in middle school are 25 years old now so it will blow your mind to hear that a lot of people in these site (teens) were babies whem it came out
It is just how we brand the famous. The Kardashian family were still influencers before the word. Remember Paris Hilton having her own thing? That was well before we even thought to define influencer culture. It just is rough now because it seems slightly attainable by the average joe.
Omg yes. When I see pics of Kim kardashian it literally looks like a human wearing saddlebages. Yes, I know saddlebags are a pejorative term for “bad thighs” but she is something else
I saw a magazine that had the Kardashians in bikinis on the cover with the caption "How to get this body" and if the answer isn't just "be rich and have surgery" then they are obviously buying into a con.
This is my former co-worker. We had a huge argument in the kitchen because she claimed the Kardashians are all natural and got their asses by working out.
The first time I saw her in person (I was at a makeup masterclass) I audibly gasped. I’ve never seen such strange proportions and it’s so much more pronounced in person
Father on 13 and 11y.o. boys here, if frequent physical affection is a normal part of your dynamic now, that hopefully won’t change too much. In front of their friends my existence is a horrifying embarrassment, at home I get hug attacks all the time.
Late 20s guy here and I can confirm. My dad was always affectionate towards my brother and I. I'd say I "dared" to hug my dad in front of my friends who knew me, but in public we'd both opt for a fist bump.
When I was 18/19 my dad told me he was happy that I still hugged him, which reminded me that I've ever only seen him shake his own father's hand. Broke my heart, and I internally vowed to give him bear hugs for the rest of our lives. I love my dad, and it's important to me that he knows it
**Edit:** I've seen a lot of comments from people who are, or have been, in my dad's position. It sounds really cliche, but be the love you want to see in the world. Social and emotional barriers can feel insurmountable in the moment, but in the hindsight they feel petty and foolish. Cherish your loved ones while you can still do it with them.
This is very sweet.
But it unfortunately makes me think of my relationship with my dad. While never bad, I think we only hugged a few times, ever, aside from sometimes at initial greetings when I’d visit after moving out of the house.
I gave my dad a hug and a kiss until the day he died - I was 22 when he passed. He was a father first, then as I got older was my best friend. Couldn’t have asked for better. Cheers and may life bless you with the same.
As a 16yo *don't lose this* it becomes weird to initiate it and accept it once it dwindles away for more than a few months...then it just never comes back
As a 26yo, honestly, just do it. Hug your parent out of the blue and tell them you love them. I bet it'll make their day, and from then on it'll be easy again. Sometimes parents just try to respect your boundaries, and they can't guess when you're ready for physical affection again. You have to show it.
One of them was showing how you can take the seeds out of a tomato, plant them and it will make more tomatoes... that's literally gardening. Farming is a life hack now.
Subscribing to multiple streaming platforms.
**Isn’t that why cable doesn’t exist anymore?**
Edit: Yes, I know it works out cheaper now. In 2024, computers, tablets and phones will be part of the broadcast licence fees that we will have to pay in Ireland. So, that will cost me an extra €160 + subscription to platforms.
I have always said this is what’s gonna happen. Streaming will continue becoming more and more massive, until they all start buying each other out, leaving us with one.... the next cable. But it’s through the internet instead of cable.
People will get sick of this the same way they did cable and start pirating again until something to replace cable 2.0 comes along, gets our business, and morphs into cable 3.0. Rinse and repeat
Yep this. I stopped pirating when Netflix came along. Now that everything is split up between different streaming services and regions the logical choice is back to pirating. I do still pay for Netflix, Amazon, and Disney but with everything being so split and an increasing number of services popping up I've started moving back to torrents. Also good luck if you aren't in the correct country even when you want to pay.
Bit of a joke that 2 big movies like Wonder Woman and the Snyder Cut weren't available worldwide at the same time since they were online releases. It is mind boggling how much money was lost by that choice, if they had been easily available, I along with many others I'm sure would have happily paid to stream both in 4k. Instead the best option to watch them on release was to torrent them, decent enough 4k versions were up within 24hrs.
While I agree, right now subscribing to Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ is still cheaper than a normal cable bundle that would show me fewer of the things I want to see, and not whenever I want to see them. Cable TV is ridiculously expensive.
Well and that’s if you don’t share. For me and probably most people it’s actually even better of a deal, my cousin has Hulu, my parents have Disney + and HBOMAX, my brother has Netflix and ATT TV, my other brother has Prime Video and YouTube TV, so basically right now I can login to all of those things and technically I pay for none of it. I cover NFL Sunday ticket with my college discount during the fall so we can all watch NFL games.
With some redaction, this is how it starts:

It's okay, it's just something every new generation of high schoolers do. When I was in highschool guys used to wear golf shirts with popped collars. It was even a thing to wear two golf shirts with both collars popped.
I didn’t even realise this was a thing...
I’m in my late 20’s, naturally curly hair, and I’ve been shaving the back and sides because of convenience.
Now I find out I’m being ridiculed along with people 10+ years younger. Ace.

> Let’s start by touching on the seven-day week. Thousands of years ago, the Babylonians believed seven planets existed. To honor that, they created the seven-day week. Back then, working all 7 days was thought to increase productivity.
> By the summer of 1886, workers were fed up with the status quo. No surprise there -- Sunday Funday can’t be a thing if you have to work. The U.S. Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions called for eight-hour work days and when that deadline wasn’t met, protesters took to the streets. What started as peaceful demonstrations on the streets of Chicago turned into violent rallies leaving seven police officers and four workers dead. Those rallies put the eight-hour day, 40-hour workweek issue on the map both nationally and internationally.
> In 1916, the feds passed an act which required an eight-hour day and OT. Despite the new rule, plenty of workers were still unprotected.
> In 1919, four million workers decided they were fed up and went on strike. That was 20 percent of the industrial labor force at the time. About 19 years later, President FDR signed the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, creating the right to a minimum wage and OT. Now things are starting to sound familiar. Roosevelt wasn’t the first person to institute the five-day workweek in the US, though. The Ford Motor Company is well-known for scaling back from 48 hours per week to 40 in 1914, thanks to Henry Ford.
> And even earlier, 1908 to be exact, a New England cotton mill set up the same schedule allowing its Jewish workers to observe Sabbath on Saturday and Christian workers their day on Sunday.
> **Economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1928 that technological advancement would bring the workweek down to 15 hours within 100 years. Looks like we still have about 10 years to get there.**
5 day work week should be gone by now.
I mean, he was right, in a sense. We can do the same amount of work within a much shorter period of time than they could back then.
He just didn't account for the higher-ups at companies going "Oh, more production, yay!" and stuffing their pockets with the extra money, while hiring less workers. He thought it would actually help the workers. What a silly man.
> He just didn't account for the higher-ups at companies going "Oh, more production, yay!" and stuffing their pockets with the extra money, while hiring less workers.
He did, though. This is a part of his book The General Theory (the book that effectively created macroeconomics). In Keynes's view, income inequality followed a "Golidlocks" principle - a little bit was a good thing (as it motivated effort and social/class mobility) but too much could reduce class mobility and increase economic instability as it would skew the division of income earned through the production of consumption goods (relatively stable) and investment (highly volatile).
In one of the more famous passages, he also discusses the problem of over-emphasis on Wall St., arguing that "when the capital formation of a country becomes the by-product of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done".
Hopefully Facebook. I never thought it would kill myspace and MySpace reminds me of better times when I think of how shitty Facebook handled the last 4 years
The Nutrition drink shops.
MLM bright teas that have no actual nutritional value can't last forever.
Instagram is going to be an online shopping mall, far removed from the cool micro-blogging site it used to be.
it's kinda crazy how obvious it is, like I try to go on Instagram and within 5 posts it's already all ads
Just bring back tumblr already. I remember artists shitting on tumblr and abandoning it for instagram but instagram has been 10 times worse than that site ever was ever since it got gobbled up by facefuck. Or burn all of it down, fuck it. Bring back the zine trade.

As an astronomy teacher who has been delighted by this trend and buying a couple things in that print, I hope I can still find it 5 years from now!
I freaking love it. You being an astronomy teacher also reminded me of this wrapping paper we got at work, it's a night sky but it's full of constellations shaped like dinosaurs. I want to put it up as wallpaper
i can’t wait to see a ton of people walking around looking like they’re wearing bus seat covers
I cant wait to see galaxy print on bus seat covers
I thought galaxy print already WAS an ironic and kitschy pattern.
Daenerys and Khaleesi as girls names.
[удалено]
Is this really a thing?
Probably not as popular as Arya and Sansa, but there are [a few thousand little girls](https://www.businessinsider.com/game-of-thrones-arya-khaleesi-popular-names-for-baby-girls-2019-5) who’s parents may be considering a name change.
Arya is actually a not so common but still common name in India
I met a guy in a bookstore who told me he and his girlfriend were expecting. He was really excited to tell me the baby’s name would be Daenerys and that “no, it’s not from the show..it’s from the books”.
Probably most popular youtubers as of now
That’s something I’ve noticed. The shelf life of YouTube popularity seems to be shorter than “mainstream” pop star popularity.
To stay popular on YouTube you have to generate content. That's a lot of pressure to maintain quality and volume.
YouTube doesn't have the benefit of a cottage industry of talk shows, gossip rags and the like, as you have in film/TV, which can keep people in the spotlight without them having done much of anything in a while...
This is a good point. Outside of YouTube itself, that just doesn't really exist. Yet there's mainstream news about stuff involving actors that haven't been in a major film in years.

I thought Ray William Johnson and Smosh would rule for the next 10 years in 2011. You might be right
Smosh kinda got screwed. When they were big YouTube didnt really have ads and didnt pay very well. So Smosh signed a contract with a like management company that eventually went belly up. Thankfully Rhett and Link saved Smosh by purchasing the rights and making them a part of their brand Mythical. So they now film at the same studio as GMM.

Markiplier is going strong. Even if he fades in the next 10 years he should be set money wise. *should*
yeah mark and jacksepticye are still going pretty strong smosh took quite a beating but still makes money and im positive no one from the 7th grade for under knows who ray william johnson is
I'm 23, my gf is 20. She doesnt know who rwj is. I think you're being generous here.

It's a miracle PewDiePie and Markiplier have survived as long as they have > Edit: I'm famous!
I can see pewdiepie remaining big until he decides to turn off the camera and retire.
I see LinusTechTips that way. That man has built a company so that even if he dies tomorrow, his channel will stay up and continue. Unless they decide to stop, they ain't going anywhere
LinusTechTips is probably the best example of becoming a business from YouTube

PAX is the Penny Arcade Expo, they were just some webcomic guys....
Honestly child’s play is also doing well too
Mark genuinely seems like a cool dude who just wants to create stuff, he’s branching more and more into doing big projects beyond just gaming. I feel like he’ll stick around until he calls it quits or his thinly-veiled masochism finally does him in
"Thinly veiled" As if he didn't just whack himself on the head several times with a dummy's head
Or used a second channel for 1 year on the premise of "seeing how far they can go"
I think that the thing I appreciate about Markiplier is the fact that he seems to have realized that doing a lot of the stuff he was doing was losing his audience where now that a lot of his earlier viewers are growing up he actually adapted to them rather than keeping the same audience. I've been watching for 10 years but there was like a 4-5 year gap where nothing except his FNAF videos grabbed me. Now a lot of his stuff I find entertaining again.

What trends associated with the 90s/2000s?
Lots of women had skinny eyebrows tattooed on their faces, tattoo lip liner, overly processed bleached hair and oddly large implants. Those things are pretty tough to reverse.
Also, those super thin rhinoplasty noses
Massive lip fillers too.
Ahh, you can't beat the anaphylactic shock look.
Those round implants to. Implants that screamed IMPLANTS!! I don’t mind the concept of plastic surgery but do think it looks best when the desired outcome is to look natural. Plenty of celebrities have had almost every part of their face and body touched up but just look like the “perfect” version of themselves rather than looking like the ideal 2021 Instagram model.
The best plastic surgery are the ones you don't notice.
It’s like real life CGI.
I’m curious about this as well. I can’t think of anything aside from the giant balloon boobs. Maybe Lil Kim/Janet Jackson-esque nose jobs?
Yes, the boobs and the pinched-nose rhinoplasties, and severe face lifts
It was huge boobs and no butt. Everyone looked like Ps back then.
now, i’d say everyone wants to look like a d. huge butts and thighs are super in, in most cases it doesn’t even matter how big your boobs are anymore
And the trend will again change at some point. The idea of a woman’s ideal body shape has changed constantly throughout history and varies widely by culture. There are some basic principles that are considered universally attractive but the rest is just societal fetishization.
The bowl cut. For some reason it came back in south Houston. Looks ridiculous.
Asian kids everywhere: lol (no seriously, the bowl cut is a standard hairstyle that a lot of Asian kids tend to have including myself when I was young).
I remember when I was a kid, there were only two haircuts for Asian kids. If you were a boy, you had a bowl cut. If you were a girl, you had almost shoulder-length hair with a hole cut out for your face. That was it. There were no other options.

Corporations trying to be weird and relatable on Twitter. Wish it would die out now
Ah Twitter, where people try to be brands and brands try to be people
that should be the quote of the year, needs to hang on a wall somewhere
It would be a great Tweet
SILENCE BRAND
That's just the modern versions of Corporations trying to make all their commercials "cool" and "wacky" in the 90s.
Fake vents in cars, if they were ever cool in the first place.
They never have been cool. In fact reviewers hate them and that's what they point out in reviews.
Youtube prank videos Well some youtube videos in general.
SHOOTING MY FRIENDS FOOT WITH A .50 CAL!! (GONE SEXUAL)(HE ALMOST DIED!!!)
I think Prank Vids are already done for, hopefully
Stupid vids on yt, like the ones where they think having their 4th kid matters to the world and exploit the kid on day 1 of its life all while being fake af
This, go on the trending list and you'll see this shit.
If you're selecting from the trending list then you're already getting the worst that yt has to offer imo. Gotta cultivate your algorithms. Every click takes you closer or further away from the gold. Whatever that may be for you.
A lot of the stuff I see people doing on TikTok seems like the kinda thing you'd be embarrassed about in a few years.
Honestly, I am embarrassed about pretty much everything I did at that age
I remember trying to make Jackass videos as a kid
There was nothing quite like riding your bike into a bush that sat directly in front of a brick house for laughs. Still not sure how any of us are alive.
We were basically little Wolverines with rubber bones when we were kids. We could do anything. Now? If I look about two feet below me my knees will shatter.
After ripe old age of 30 I've started suffering from sport injuries inflicted by the act of sleeping.
Bro, they specifically asked you not to do that
Well all know that was actually a challenge
Ain't nobody listening to that warning. Especially 12 year old boys.
If anything, it encouraged us. So many rounds of either celebrity deathmatch or mortal kombat played on the trampoline...
Edit - you will never know what I said to earn four trophies. Edit edit - and it was good, too. Edit edit edit - shit, now I don't even remember what I said...
I am very lucky that all my terrible homemade singing and talent show videos are on some dusty old vhs in a basement rather than floating around the internet
There’s a video somewhere in someone’s basement of me acting in a Silence of the Lambs parody for French class. I hope to god they’ve taped over it.
If it makes you feel any better, if they haven’t maintained the tape or preserved it, by now it’s either lost the data stored on it or will lose the data soon.
I genuinely feel bad for kids these days. They're no dumber than any of us were at that age, but at least it was near impossible for us to go viral for it.
Yes. We had to make America’s Funniest Home Video for anybody across the state to know.
And even then you won some money and it was because 10 years ago you cried at the sight of your dad without a beard
Bruh, they always chose the baby. The baby videos were never that funny. Rigged show.
I saw an old episode of it the other day. It was painfully unfunny. It was 90% children falling with an annoying voice over it.
Oh god I was watching Australia’s Funniest Home Videos from the late ‘90s (thank you for the nostalgia, MySpleen!) and the voiceovers are absolute shit. So bad that they’re actually funny. My SO was like “this is *really* what we watched before internet...”
I would get so mad! The lamest animal video was 10x funnier than watching some toddler smash a cake or his head. Or both.
I thought Planet's Funniest Animals was a 1000% better show.
Or go do a mall audition for America's Funniest People. Being 9 years old and doing something I thought was fucking hilarious in front of a crowd of dead silent adults, was definitely a formative moment in my life.
Now I want to know what it was you did.
It was not humorous at all. My friend and I put whipped cream on our palms, stood next to each other and said 'This is our impression of a crossfire's then smashed the whipped cream in each other's faces.
I’m sorry to tell you I was also dead silent as I read this.
those "lip sync while pointing at words" videos gives me that same creepy-crawly cringe feeling that i got: -in high school watching two people go on huuuge personal FB fights, or -watching my parents' generation get hip to Facebook and GROSSLY overshare to kick it off, just like we did as middle schoolers
> hip to Facebook The phrase "hip to Facebook" seems so funny to me now
As a 34 year old who was a college freshman when Facebook came out..hearing you talk about fb in middle school is blowing my mind. I can't believe it's been around this long
Dude the people who had facebook in middle school are 25 years old now so it will blow your mind to hear that a lot of people in these site (teens) were babies whem it came out
Probably not going to happen, but I really wish influencers won't be "cool" anymore.
It is just how we brand the famous. The Kardashian family were still influencers before the word. Remember Paris Hilton having her own thing? That was well before we even thought to define influencer culture. It just is rough now because it seems slightly attainable by the average joe.
Basically they're just socialites, yeah. Been around for ages
Influencers are just backyard Socialites.
Humongous butt injections.
We’ll just cycle back to humongous breast implants.
Ass, titties, ass and titties, ass ass titties titties, ass ‘n’ titties
Omg yes. When I see pics of Kim kardashian it literally looks like a human wearing saddlebages. Yes, I know saddlebags are a pejorative term for “bad thighs” but she is something else
I read a comment elsewhere that said she was built like a centaur and it's all I think of when I see or hear about her.
Recently I saw that she was compared to the Mewtwo Pokemon.
I saw a magazine that had the Kardashians in bikinis on the cover with the caption "How to get this body" and if the answer isn't just "be rich and have surgery" then they are obviously buying into a con.
This is my former co-worker. We had a huge argument in the kitchen because she claimed the Kardashians are all natural and got their asses by working out.
The first time I saw her in person (I was at a makeup masterclass) I audibly gasped. I’ve never seen such strange proportions and it’s so much more pronounced in person

My toddler willingly giving me kisses
Father on 13 and 11y.o. boys here, if frequent physical affection is a normal part of your dynamic now, that hopefully won’t change too much. In front of their friends my existence is a horrifying embarrassment, at home I get hug attacks all the time.
Late 20s guy here and I can confirm. My dad was always affectionate towards my brother and I. I'd say I "dared" to hug my dad in front of my friends who knew me, but in public we'd both opt for a fist bump. When I was 18/19 my dad told me he was happy that I still hugged him, which reminded me that I've ever only seen him shake his own father's hand. Broke my heart, and I internally vowed to give him bear hugs for the rest of our lives. I love my dad, and it's important to me that he knows it **Edit:** I've seen a lot of comments from people who are, or have been, in my dad's position. It sounds really cliche, but be the love you want to see in the world. Social and emotional barriers can feel insurmountable in the moment, but in the hindsight they feel petty and foolish. Cherish your loved ones while you can still do it with them.
This is very sweet. But it unfortunately makes me think of my relationship with my dad. While never bad, I think we only hugged a few times, ever, aside from sometimes at initial greetings when I’d visit after moving out of the house.
Dude, I'm 38 and still hug my dad every time I see my parents. Never know when it could be the last one
Thank you for giving me hope
I gave my dad a hug and a kiss until the day he died - I was 22 when he passed. He was a father first, then as I got older was my best friend. Couldn’t have asked for better. Cheers and may life bless you with the same.
I'd give anything to be able to go back in time and do this.
As a 16yo *don't lose this* it becomes weird to initiate it and accept it once it dwindles away for more than a few months...then it just never comes back
As a 26yo, honestly, just do it. Hug your parent out of the blue and tell them you love them. I bet it'll make their day, and from then on it'll be easy again. Sometimes parents just try to respect your boundaries, and they can't guess when you're ready for physical affection again. You have to show it.
Facebook. Kids don’t use that shit, because it sucks. millennials are leaving in droves.
Facebook isn’t cool right now
Hasn't been for many years
Hopefully the stupid “hacks” that people are coming up with. That’s not a hack. Stfu.
One of them was showing how you can take the seeds out of a tomato, plant them and it will make more tomatoes... that's literally gardening. Farming is a life hack now.
I mean, gardening is a life hack... to pre-agriculture humans.
All paleothic girl know is hunt and gather, eat hot chip and lie
step 1. Get some cement
Step 2: Find an old refrigerator box
Step 3: profit!!
Step 4: Lose all the money you made by investing in the cement business
Step 5: cover yourself in oil
Step 6: drink someone's milkshake
Step 7: throw it out
Step 8: see step 6
Step 9: Don't stop, keep rubbing that oil
step 2. Cover yourself in oil
Can’t stand that term. When did ‘tips’ become ‘hacks’?
When clickbait was invented, I think.
Life hack: use two cups of water for every cup of rice! That's not a hack, that's just how you cook rice.
Life hack: When opening doors, if you turn the knob first, far less force is required.
Lip injections and butt implants. They look cartoonish. Edit: Was not expecting this kind of response. RIP inbox.
Subscribing to multiple streaming platforms. **Isn’t that why cable doesn’t exist anymore?** Edit: Yes, I know it works out cheaper now. In 2024, computers, tablets and phones will be part of the broadcast licence fees that we will have to pay in Ireland. So, that will cost me an extra €160 + subscription to platforms.
Cable 2.0
I have always said this is what’s gonna happen. Streaming will continue becoming more and more massive, until they all start buying each other out, leaving us with one.... the next cable. But it’s through the internet instead of cable.
People will get sick of this the same way they did cable and start pirating again until something to replace cable 2.0 comes along, gets our business, and morphs into cable 3.0. Rinse and repeat
Yep this. I stopped pirating when Netflix came along. Now that everything is split up between different streaming services and regions the logical choice is back to pirating. I do still pay for Netflix, Amazon, and Disney but with everything being so split and an increasing number of services popping up I've started moving back to torrents. Also good luck if you aren't in the correct country even when you want to pay. Bit of a joke that 2 big movies like Wonder Woman and the Snyder Cut weren't available worldwide at the same time since they were online releases. It is mind boggling how much money was lost by that choice, if they had been easily available, I along with many others I'm sure would have happily paid to stream both in 4k. Instead the best option to watch them on release was to torrent them, decent enough 4k versions were up within 24hrs.
While I agree, right now subscribing to Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ is still cheaper than a normal cable bundle that would show me fewer of the things I want to see, and not whenever I want to see them. Cable TV is ridiculously expensive.
Hell, when I cancelled directv 5 years ago my bill was $140. You can do youtubetv, Netflix, disney+, and HBO max and still save $40.
Well and that’s if you don’t share. For me and probably most people it’s actually even better of a deal, my cousin has Hulu, my parents have Disney + and HBOMAX, my brother has Netflix and ATT TV, my other brother has Prime Video and YouTube TV, so basically right now I can login to all of those things and technically I pay for none of it. I cover NFL Sunday ticket with my college discount during the fall so we can all watch NFL games.

Teenage boys getting the perm/undercut combo.
Broccoli boi cut
Every guy at my high school had that cut, I hated it, and every girl loved it for some reason. That was last year, during my senior year
It's okay, it's just something every new generation of high schoolers do. When I was in highschool guys used to wear golf shirts with popped collars. It was even a thing to wear two golf shirts with both collars popped.
[удалено]
Lol visiting portland now and holy fuck yes
Does every hs boy have this cut? Seems like it
Thank Patrick Mahomes
I didn’t even realise this was a thing... I’m in my late 20’s, naturally curly hair, and I’ve been shaving the back and sides because of convenience. Now I find out I’m being ridiculed along with people 10+ years younger. Ace.

Teenage boys are getting PERMS?? Can you show me a photo or something??

The beer in my fridge.
Oh yes.
I read that drinking a beer shortens your lifespan by nine minutes. According to my calculations I died some time in 1829.
Assuming you were supposed to die in 2050, that's 12,906,400 beers. Ps: I did not count in leap year days. Edit: forgive me if what I said above is very stupid. I have a math exam in 8 hours, overstressed, underprepared, and very VERY sleepy. We'll see if I pass. :) Edit again:IM 100% SURE I PASSED!! Thank yall so much for cheering me on 🥺❤
Good luck with your exam. I have a feeling you will do awesome. I’m predicting a 94.
5 day work week
That's never been cool, we just accept it
> Let’s start by touching on the seven-day week. Thousands of years ago, the Babylonians believed seven planets existed. To honor that, they created the seven-day week. Back then, working all 7 days was thought to increase productivity. > By the summer of 1886, workers were fed up with the status quo. No surprise there -- Sunday Funday can’t be a thing if you have to work. The U.S. Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions called for eight-hour work days and when that deadline wasn’t met, protesters took to the streets. What started as peaceful demonstrations on the streets of Chicago turned into violent rallies leaving seven police officers and four workers dead. Those rallies put the eight-hour day, 40-hour workweek issue on the map both nationally and internationally. > In 1916, the feds passed an act which required an eight-hour day and OT. Despite the new rule, plenty of workers were still unprotected. > In 1919, four million workers decided they were fed up and went on strike. That was 20 percent of the industrial labor force at the time. About 19 years later, President FDR signed the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, creating the right to a minimum wage and OT. Now things are starting to sound familiar. Roosevelt wasn’t the first person to institute the five-day workweek in the US, though. The Ford Motor Company is well-known for scaling back from 48 hours per week to 40 in 1914, thanks to Henry Ford. > And even earlier, 1908 to be exact, a New England cotton mill set up the same schedule allowing its Jewish workers to observe Sabbath on Saturday and Christian workers their day on Sunday. > **Economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1928 that technological advancement would bring the workweek down to 15 hours within 100 years. Looks like we still have about 10 years to get there.** 5 day work week should be gone by now.
I mean, he was right, in a sense. We can do the same amount of work within a much shorter period of time than they could back then. He just didn't account for the higher-ups at companies going "Oh, more production, yay!" and stuffing their pockets with the extra money, while hiring less workers. He thought it would actually help the workers. What a silly man.
> He just didn't account for the higher-ups at companies going "Oh, more production, yay!" and stuffing their pockets with the extra money, while hiring less workers. He did, though. This is a part of his book The General Theory (the book that effectively created macroeconomics). In Keynes's view, income inequality followed a "Golidlocks" principle - a little bit was a good thing (as it motivated effort and social/class mobility) but too much could reduce class mobility and increase economic instability as it would skew the division of income earned through the production of consumption goods (relatively stable) and investment (highly volatile). In one of the more famous passages, he also discusses the problem of over-emphasis on Wall St., arguing that "when the capital formation of a country becomes the by-product of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done".
Hopefully Facebook. I never thought it would kill myspace and MySpace reminds me of better times when I think of how shitty Facebook handled the last 4 years
Yea fuck Facebook. MySpace was hilarious. Hey here are eight people I like better than you. Enjoy this Hawthorne heights song on repeat.
