As a GenXer, i have no idea what "make lemon noises" even means

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As a GenZ member, I have no idea.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 44 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I thought that was the point. I've just assumed that gen Z realized there's nothing fun left so you gotta make your own fun whether or not it makes sense.

Insert "E" meme here.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

I like that philosophy.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

that's actually pretty fucking brilliant lmao

can't be called crazy if everything is already crazy too

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

I think the joke is that GenZ will do something random and unexpected.

[–] MelodiousFunk@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I figured Gen Z is the lemon in this case.

[–] Lath@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago

Yes, bunch of sourpusses.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As a GenXer, whatever.

[–] ferralcat@monyet.cc 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gen x and millennials are flipped here I'm pretty sure. Genx would say "meh" when given a lemon. Millennials would open a startup called "L3monz"

It's called "Lemn", and it's a crypto based AI fintech

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

They're the noises you make while having sex in your lemon suit with an orange you barely know.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Then you are appropriately interpreting Gen Z.

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Probably means we'll just make memes about it or something like that

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago
