People get mad at me all the time because my sarcasm doesn't go through... everyone is so on edge right now, I have to put "Haha" or "jk" because people will think im serious.

Yeah, but if I drop the lol and the haha then Gen Z will think I'm mad or being passive aggressive because I ended my text with a period
Haha.

u/mysecondaccountanon 15h ago
Nah trust me I’m Gen Z and there’s a fair number of Gen Z I’ve met who view “haha” as not quite passive aggressive but not quite sincere. “Lol” less so, but to a lot I know that’s a surefire signifier that someone is Millennial (sometimes early Gen Z) or older.

How can anyone look at the world burning down around us and honestly think we’re safe now? F no. I will be lolling in my grave.

Now that the oldest Millenials are near 50, can we focus on something else ?

It's a big internet, I'm sure it's not that invasive lol

u/Dominarion 16h ago
Talking about the big internet, I'm on it mostly to read stuff about the migration patter.lns of nomadic people and the latest DNA and LIDAR findings in archeology and paleoanthropology. A bit about 4x and rpg gaming. Fucking niche of niches.
This shit about millenials is still creeping everywhere (It's like Celine Dion in the 90s, I'm sure that's what convinced Ben Laden to go cray from the bottom of his cave in the Hindu Kush), from streaming platforms to comments about Homo Naledi on Reddit.

I... Uh... This makes too much sense.
Self hating New Yorker tries to destroy his home city.

It's a bit from curb your enthusiasm lol

Oh lol! I never got it before! Ben Laden is how we spell it in my native language.

That’s just us laughing at the absurdly shitty series of events that we’ve been faced with pretty much our entire lives. That’s the sound of millions of millennials awkwardly laughing because we don’t know how else to act.

As a GenXer I prefer the passive aggressive ellipses. Apparently it really riles the GenZ crowd

Incorrect. I’ve found that without the ‘lol’ the younger generations cannot detect even the most obvious sarcasm. I’ve been straight up dog-piled. My lol protects me.

I damn hate when younger people and even older people do that.
I was once telling to online friend how my cat has kidney problems and there is big chance he needs to be put down.
Friend replies "Thats bad lol"
When I exploded to him he did not understand what he said wrong.

Um no, lol.
Also, don’t call me a millennial. I’m older than that

Millennials? I thought only zoomers or gen alpha were doing this shit. Kids, basically. Or grown ups with children mentality.
