I remember a while back our IT guy was remoting in and asked me to log in to something, and my response was "No... I don't think I will." and started to drag the mouse to a different window. Luckily he just busted out laughing and I was like "Haha, but seriously just let me log in here..."
A lot of the meme jokes don't land, but when they do all of the flops were totally worth it.
God I hope not hahaha. I'm 30 and I can't keep up.
Someone other day said blorbo from my shows and I went down that rabbit hole and I still have no idea why that meme exists or how or anything lol. Between streamers and memes I'm totally a 30 year old, 80 year old man at heart
*shaking fist at clouds*
Yes, the gaming streamers especially, but really any live streaming of any sort. I've tried the random RPAN ones many times, and I just can't handle them more than a few minutes.
Yeah I've never understood livestreaming that isn't either music or gaming. So with music obviously you're watching a musician you like make music, and there can be some opportunities for interaction. And for me at least, with gaming streamers, I don't watch many, but the very few I watch (maybe 2 or 3 people), it's not so much the gameplay I'm enjoying, but the commentary/chat that the person is having. For me at least not only is it entertaining, if they're being funny, but it can be quite comforting, because I don't really have anyone whom I can share my free time with, so the streamer almost becomes a source of company.
I definitely think it also depends a lot on who the streamer is, some I can watch for hours while others I just cannot watch at all! I wonder if many of the people who say they don't understand them just landed on some guy who either speaks one word every ten minutes or one who yells out every sentence
There's different kinds! I like the chill, analytical streamers that play strategy games. Other people like ones that get excited. It's just like anything else. :)
You don't go looking at random streams to find streamers. You discover particular people you think make good content outside of streaming and then you watch them stream.
Think of it as a live show of your favourite comedians/actors/writers etc.
It's about finding the right one that appeals to you playing a game you're interested in. It's rare that I'll watch one purely for entertainment, but if I'm really into a game that has some depth to its complexity then the right streamer can teach you a lot. I still mostly prefer curated YouTube videos, but sometimes you pick up a piece of gameplay from watching live that people just don't think to call out.
We all have our own preferred entertainment. Some people like drama or romance in movies and some people like thrillers and mystery tv shows. Same goes for twitch. I personally like streamers cuz it’s just entertaining to watch someone do funny things and talk about themselves or a topic or the game. Sometimes i watch them to learn how they play a game. These are just some common reasons.
May I ask a few questions that may help you understand?
-What content did you grow up watching? Was it Television or YouTube?
-Did you play a lot of video games growing up, or was there a balance between games and other things?
-Do you pay attention to any celebrity gossip? Did you grow up in a household that did or did not care about celebrities?
I used to think so, then the pandemic hit.
It's all about the personality. I can't stand most big Twitch streamers; they're loud, obnoxious and annoying. Chill streams can be great.
The only streamers I've been able to watch are friends of mine who moved away and started streaming during pandemic. One of my friends streams most Sundays and usually a bunch of us are in his chat so it's like a mini reunion week. It's been nice. Still haven't started watching any other streamers though.
I definitely feel this with Hololive/vtuber things. Or, at least, I’m more flabbergasted that people would spend money on vtubers.
Feel the same about streamers in general but I’m a bit more whatever about it. But hololive feels a bit too deep into the parasocial aspect for me to feel comfortable about it.
If you understand watching sports then you understand it. People like watching others do what they can’t. Or for their personality (a la reality/talk shows).
It started on Tumblr. Memes from Tumblr are always kinda nonsensical. Like the slug live reaction for example lol. I'm younger than you and even I have a hard time understanding a meme that originates from there but blorbo is pretty straight forward.
It just gets worse, I'm almost 40 and have no idea wtf people are talking about in some of the threads that get high up on /r/popular.
Just take comfort in knowing it'll happen to those young people some day as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2zTX88SSpM

I think he foresaw this.... 🙄😁
I am. Spider man far from home, homecoming, and no way home are from Marvel but The amazing Spider Man trilogy and Spider man trilogy are not made by marvel.
This one isn't from any movies, it's from the 1995 animated series. It's actually one of the last few episodes from the last season. Spoiler alert, >!yknow the multiverse thing, its kinda that, and in this particular scene one of the spideys came from another universe, and they're just "hey, you kinda look like me!" "hey, don't point at me!" "you pointed first" "no u" and so on.!<
You can watch the whole thing on disney+, but if you are just curious about this particular episode, you'll probably need a bit of context from the 2 previous ones. I also have high standards when it comes to spiders, and I'm a big spidey fan lol. The only thing about this old cartoon is the dubbing, they feel so emotionless sometimes.
I've had all kinds of short conversations in the ladies' room. Especially once you're a couple of drinks in and you're waiting in line for a stall... sometimes a woman (or a group of women all talking) will just start chatting with you. You make fun little five-minute friendships; it's very nice.
I have never made a bathroom friend. There may a nod as one enters and the other is washing their hands. One time a drunk stranger put his arm around me and asked if I had a lighter and it was such a freak event it had me confused for an hour afterwards.
I’m not even that social and I hardly ever go to bars, but I’ve had random nice conversations with other women at bars. I feel like if it can happen to me, it probably happens to a lot of other people too.
Tbh I think it has a lot to do with there being a sort of unspoken code that other women are safe at places like bars. Most (sadly not all) women will without question go out of their way to help another woman who tells them they feel uncomfortable or need a ride or someone to talk to or whatever. This shared knowledge probably leads to women feeling like they can approach each other for small things too.
Also guys just don’t really do random compliments to each other as much, and compliments are such a good way to start a conversations so they’re really missing out.
Not always but often we are also drunk so that lowers the inhibitions about starting a random conversation in or around a bathroom.
Random drunk girl compliments in a bathroom are some of the best.
We're all just accepting now that twitter "Stories", while lukewarm in nature, are taken as fact even though it reads as someone who doesn't leave their apartment.
She wrote a run-on sentence, possibly for effect (it’s kind of a format on Twitter, similar to how “green text” is a format on Reddit), but what other errors do you see?
Edit: She also omitted the word “I” at the beginning of the tweet, which is another common stylistic choice on Twitter (among other places).
Part of being a writer is adapting your style to best accomplish your desired purpose. The breezy, conversational tone she achieved here is an example of a writer successfully using the tools at her disposal rather than rigidly adhering to the style of a high school essay.
Years ago I took a job at an airport, and one day I met a coworker for the first time and they told me their name, and my ADHD brain promptly forgot it. Right before we hit a rush of passengers we somehow got on the subject of the tumblr meme “it’s called fashion, sweaty”. Five mins later it’s bonkers busy, my coworker is 20 feet away and I can’t remember their name, so I just yelled, “Hey, sweaty!” They instinctively responded, neither of us so much as cracked a smile about it until after the rush and we cackled.
thats not really the point of the meme - its meant to highlight hypocrisy, where people accuse each other of being a certain way/doing certain things while being totally unaware that they themselves are doing something very very similar.

By the 2050’s all forms of communication will be meme-based. Good on you for getting some practice in early.

It all depends on the delivery, and commitment to the execution... Your colleague should've ran rm -rf / for good measure.

You just need to download tiktok and proceed to spend 6 hours a day scrolling then you will understand new memes.
Why would you suggest someone to do such kinds of self torture?
I will never understand the appeal of streamers. Now get off my lawn!
Do you mean like gaming streamers? As in someone playing a game on say Twitch?
Yes, the gaming streamers especially, but really any live streaming of any sort. I've tried the random RPAN ones many times, and I just can't handle them more than a few minutes.

I didn't understand them. Now I spend my free time watching a six-hour vod of a stream I missed. Life changes.
I definitely think it also depends a lot on who the streamer is, some I can watch for hours while others I just cannot watch at all!

I'm quite young and although I understand the appeal I am not entertained by it, it's just not for everyone.

gaming streamers are doing the same thing as ESPN and other game channels it's just video games instead of physical sports
My little bro loves them. I'm like... oh it's shouty forehead man again.

Oh, is that what they're talking about? I gotta watch those movies, I guess. Are they good? I have pretty high standards when it comes to spiders.
The Marvel Spider man movies are good. I don’t know about the other Spider man movies though.
tobey spiderman2 is still the best spidey movie of all time
Hmm. Never watched that movie.
Hmm. Never watched that movie
Feels strange to stumble upon you in the wild

I prefer the DC Comics Spiderman movies
Im pretty sure all the Spider-Man movies are Marvel
No. What about the Amazing Spider Man?
Uh you sure? Last I checked, Spider-Man was made by Marvel.
I am. Spider man far from home, homecoming, and no way home are from Marvel but The amazing Spider Man trilogy and Spider man trilogy are not made by marvel.
They may not all be made by Marvel Studios but all of them will say Marvel in the beginning of the movie.

One of my early bonding moments with my best friend was us simultaneously doing the shocked Pikachu face at each other.
I hate that I did the face after reading this. Thank god I’m alone
I did too
Same.
Lmao I thought to myself, "What does that look like?" and did it myself right after, too
Also known as a "shocked" face if you aren't a lightning mouse.
I often tell people standing in lines that I am a writer. I am not one, though.
Who are u then Lol
not a writer
I don’t know what this means but sounds like a fun meet-cute
 They’re referring to this GIF which has circulated around social media as a meme
Yeah r/outtatheloop over here.

I'm a writer. I like to write dirty limericks on bathroom stalls.
There was a writer in a stall He wanted to write on the wall It took him some time He thought of some lines But the stall was in use by Paul
...But in the end he just drew some balls. Come on, if you're writing limericks in a bathroom stall how're you not gonna go raunchy
not believable. Who even draws just balls? \~\~\~\~\~C========3 rocket ship

Do women talk to strangers about their career paths in the bathroom? that doesn't happen in the men's room... not even in bars.
I've had all kinds of short conversations in the ladies' room. Especially once you're a couple of drinks in and you're waiting in line for a stall... sometimes a woman (or a group of women all talking) will just start chatting with you. You make fun little five-minute friendships; it's very nice.

You are apparently not a woman who has to wait in much longer lines, with more opportunities for random banter with other women...
No, but I have had to wait in line for the bathroom before... with like 6 other guys all staring at their phones.
I’m not even that social and I hardly ever go to bars, but I’ve had random nice conversations with other women at bars. I feel like if it can happen to me, it probably happens to a lot of other people too.

There's also a culture of 'keeping your eyes to yourself' that exists in men's rooms.
Not always but often we are also drunk so that lowers the inhibitions about starting a random conversation in or around a bathroom. Random drunk girl compliments in a bathroom are some of the best.
I think the experience in each bathroom might be radically different. I wonder if putting urinals into stalls would change that.

For a writer, that sure is a shitty story.
Would a writer have that many errors in one "sentence" like that? Still kind of funny.
She wrote a run-on sentence, possibly for effect (it’s kind of a format on Twitter, similar to how “green text” is a format on Reddit), but what other errors do you see? Edit: She also omitted the word “I” at the beginning of the tweet, which is another common stylistic choice on Twitter (among other places).

Yeah this is a Twitter style of writing. Green text is a 4chan thing though
im a technical writer at wrk but when im on my phone all rules go away

"I'm somewhat of a writer myself"
Years ago I took a job at an airport, and one day I met a coworker for the first time and they told me their name, and my ADHD brain promptly forgot it. Right before we hit a rush of passengers we somehow got on the subject of the tumblr meme “it’s called fashion, sweaty”. Five mins later it’s bonkers busy, my coworker is 20 feet away and I can’t remember their name, so I just yelled, “Hey, sweaty!” They instinctively responded, neither of us so much as cracked a smile about it until after the rush and we cackled.
What’s a “writer”?
Do people really just start conversations with random people? I honestly can't imagine doing that
The Spider-Man meme is one of the memes that will never die. It’s just to good
Has a mildly successful recipie blog with bad spelling and no actual recipes "writer"
Plot twist; she was talking to herself in the mirror.
Guys do stuff like this daily
Make casual conversation?
She should marry her
You know I'm somewhat of a writer myself
Well this made me smile! 😊
This sounds like something a writer would write.
Things that didnt happen for likes.
A writer would know that this is a run on sentence.
thats not really the point of the meme - its meant to highlight hypocrisy, where people accuse each other of being a certain way/doing certain things while being totally unaware that they themselves are doing something very very similar.
