    In all seriousness… Skibidi toilet is probably one of the egregious examples of brain rot in our society. Gen alpha is truly cooked.

    Gotta admit, that’s pretty creative.

    And the kids are rolling their eyes at it. Skibidi is no longer cool.

        Heh, my generation’s slang seems so boring compared to other generation’s. Rad, Totally, Awesome, etc. The words were almost straight out of a dictionary. Earlier in the century it was Cool Cat, bee’s knees, dogs, flippers, speakeasy, but as we approach Gen X it gets mundane. Now we’ve got weird shit every influencer and Vtuber tries to make stick so they have a “thing” to stand out with.

          There’s some difference.

          So you have the slang that’s akin to “Rad”. Words used with sincerity to communicate. “Rizz” and “Sus” fall into this category and seem pretty ‘mundane’, shortening Charisma and Suspicious.

          Skibidi is a bit different. It’s more like that generations “Wazzzzzzzuuuuuuuup?” It’s something they themselves consider “just stupid to say”.

        I dunno, I think it’s a bit more clever and less desperate than that. The teacher knows the kids are saying it a lot. Getting them to even lightly associate it with their learning objectives will help at least some kids academically. Mnemonics are stronger when they are memorable and repeatable after all.

        There is no way the teacher thinks this will make learning “cool”. And the fact that co-opting it speeds up the process that skibidi will become “uncool” is probably just a fringe benefit to the teacher. Really, it’s a masterclass in psychology, a win-win.

        I have coined the term hifellowkidsing when I struggle and fail to relate to teens. As in “I heard the neighbor kid loudly bumping what sounded like Eminem so I totally hifellowkidsed him and asked whether or not it was. He rolled his eyes and ignored me”. My only comfort is I was a horrible snot at that age, so I have karmically earned every belabored sigh and humiliated grimace.

    So the last ‘I’ suggests that your writing should be possible to improve later.
    Despite being the ‘B’ Best Effort and properly ‘I’ Investigated.

    Seems like, after putting your best effort into making it, you need to put in extra effort to make it such that it is imperfect, so as to leave room for improvements.

      That B, I and I are basically the same thing reworded three ways so they can spell the word.

    I think Skibidi Toilet is a fine meme. We used to watch the same shit back in 2009. As long as it keeps the youngins off TikTok I’d say it’s a win.

    The word “skibidi” makes me roll my eyes. Every generation has their own slang, though, so whatever.

      Skibidi toilet is a gmod/SFM series. This isn’t zoomer culture, it’s millenial culture. It’s zoomers appreciating our culture.

        No. Just because it uses GMod to make doesn’t mean it belongs to millenials. The first video was released in February 2023. That’s definitely gen z/alpha thing.

    Have you varied the kinds of sentences you use?

    That’s rich coming from someone who can only write questions.
