  • I’m in the correct age, and terminally online enough to understand most of it. I can say 3 things:

    1. Kids don’t actually use these. There’s an overlap between the latest slang and brainrot terms, and most of the ones that don’t overlap primarily originated in some slang or common term, but nevertheless the majority of the words here now exist as brainrot terms first, not actual slang irl
    2. This meme is using most of them wrong. Most brainrot memes do.
    3. This is one of the lowest effort esolangs I’ve ever seen, so it’s not terribly interesting. It’s literally just python with keywords and some vars replaced with brainrot terms. To see something actually high effort that’s similar, see something like Shakespeare https://esolangs.org/wiki/Shakespeare

    It’s supposed to be similar, not necessarily the same. The idea is something like this

    1. Anakin: something
    2. Padme: but [normal thing] right
    3. Anakin: …
    4. Padme: but [more basic thing] right??
    5. (implied that not even that)

    The implication here is that not only is the primary purpose not for the blind, but it won’t help them at all

    (am I overthinking this?)


















  • Since forever. It’s very slow, I’m still not sure replying is actually in the spec or email clients fake it with Re: and then force you to quote the entire history of the conversation back and forth. Also very easy to break if you don’t like the Re: or something. People are constantly replying to the wrong person or persons, sometimes even to themselves. You have weirdly named fields “cc” and “bcc” that are present all the even though I use them like 4x and 1x a year, respectively. You can’t unsend or delete emails.

    And all this is before I get into doing git or calendars over email.

    Email is in fact one of the reasons I’m not sure I want the fediverse to succeed right now, because then all the faults of activitypub will be forced on us for centuries, like they are with email.
