We are definitely too old for this shit

If it reads as gibberish, you're too old. If it makes perfect sense, you're too young. Somewhere in between those ages is the funny zone, where you can sorta understand what it's meant to be doing.

You cannot be young enough for this to be normal English, nobody uses this unironically/outside of their online media persona.

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

Fs in chat for trying to mock Gen Alpha slang.

I know some of the words, but dont see the funny in it, but it's winter time so I am at a mental state like when Stan realizes he is a cynical cunt and everything is shit.

Maybe I'm old.
