  • 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?)





  • Hey I’m the coship guy (coshipmate?). I also found out the hard way the lemmy api doesn’t respond if you’re missing some parameters. Actually the most helpful thing was opening up photon and just seeing the network requests it sent.

    I’ve used a few platforms in my life and am currently mainly on Mastodon and Pixelfed, but Reddit, the role model for Lemmy, was never one of them. It seemed very confusing and complex to me and I had the same feeling with Lemmy. It’s all a bit different from Mastodon, but that’s mainly because you have to deal with another level here, the communities.

    Yeah funny how that works. I find twitter, and thus mastodon very confusing. There’s no organization or discoverability except what’s added on by hashtags (very inconsistent) or algorithms (don’t exist on mastodon).

    Lemmy doesn’t care about users, only communities. You can’t even follow them (which can be quite annoying when things like wordpress join the fediverse, but make blogs “users” even though they can have multiple authors, and now you can’t follow them through lemmy)
