Mines 9 and yes. No idea what it is LUL

And 'sigma boy'

 

Oh god, Sigma boy. The crossover from late Gen Z to Gen Alpha in new lingo… I was not ready for this part. I’ve never felt so old in my life lol. All I know about Italian Brain Rot is that it’s got something to do with these AI slop photos of animals mixed with other things or other animals and some guy gives them weird names and I think The Rock is somehow connected to it? Or something?

I do know it’s dumb!

 

lol Im dying, he always followed Italian Brain Rot with Capuccino Assassino. And never thought to look it up. This is so funny.

 

Consistently have to remind myself that memes I liked at that age were fucking stupid and incomprehensible too lol

 

You take that back. "Look At My Horse" and Homestar Runner are comedy GOLD.

 

I don't know the first one, but I do have a sacred place in my heart for Homestar Runner.

 

Even my wife, who is the same age as me but was not a terminally online preteen, will never understand.

 

I'm part of our IT team at work and have hidden various references in our systems; lots of Slack emojis, The Cheat flipping the lightswitch as a loading screen for monthly updates, and Strongsad as an error page if Jamf fails.

 

I showed my 8 year old Strongbad emails a few weeks ago when the site relaunched and he thinks they're great.

(If you haven't seen, they're back online now. Sorry if that nukes your productivity now.)

 

I would occasionally watch some on Youtube but that's awesome that the site is back up.

 

Didn’t expect to get emotional picking up my son from his last day of elementary but here we are

 

Yeah, my son’s last day of elementary school is tomorrow.

He’s been at the same school for six years.

I still remember his first day there like it was yesterday.

WILD.

 

It showed us the way! It showed us the way to candy mountain, Charlie!
It didn't say anything!

Though I was a grown ass 17 year old laughing at that, not a weird tween/middle schooler lol

This one still stands out to me from middle school:

 

Same. Ughhhhh same.

 

I think this is the most unified this website has ever been

 

My brain immediately went to this as a stupid incomprehensible meme

 

My son's voice is deeper than mine now

What the fuck

 

The amount of times I get this shit stuck in my head/think about it is not 0 and I hate it every damn time

 

I wish we could just keep doing kindergarten over and over. What a fun year (aside from the every winter sicknesses)

 

Yeah my 6yo graduates from Kinder on Thursday. Crazy

 

Mine did last Thursday. I also wish we could do it again.

 

holly’s first trip to the movie theater today

 

be sure to report back with her Mission Impossible rankings

 

i’ll return with her disney live action rankings

 

My oldest has been a handful of times but I’ve never been with him. Usually when the kids are out of school all the cousins will go see a Disney movie or Minecraft movie etc.

As a movie guy and as a kid having bonded with my dad going to the movies I need to correct this. I might take him to the new JW if it’s not too intense
