SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH 9/11 Was Cringe

Are the front curls really such a zoomer thing? I've been dealin' with'em for decades now because Arabic and Irish heritage means my hair is constantly in rebellion against british beauty standards

It's become a zoomer thing. Last Xmas my friend's little cousin of Polish and Polish heritage was rocking them instead of his usual arrow straight hair.
- cousin of Polish and Polish heritage
  Sure he doesn't also has some Polish in him? Maybe a bit of Polish too?
I imagine, with that heritage, every part of you is in constant rebellion against the British!
- As well they should be.
Broccoli cut
I thought the Meet Me at McDonald's was just curly on top, shaved back and sides. Dubya in this pic looks like one of those goldfish with the big sticking-out brain.
- Article doesn't explain why they felt the need to ban it?

and the al-qaeda be like: "lmao gotem"

Airplane hits tower.... pilot yelling "KOBE"

The zoomer haircut xD

It's called the "meet me at McDonald's" haircut. No joke
- It's actually typically called the "Broccoli cut."
  At least that's the only way I've heard it.

You know how it goes, first people start saying the silly meme phrase “ironically”, then they can’t stop themselves saying it, then it becomes awkwardly unironic, and then it gets embedded in the lexicon and Miriam-Webster adds it to the dictionary

2060 is going to be lit fam AHEM I mean it’s going to be funny

I am guilty af here, fr.
Merriam-Webster's been adding stuff to the dictionary long before it's even really embedded in the lexicon lately. Probably trying to stay relevant.
- fr fr ive thought that too over the past few years
  Although that said I just tried to find some examples to justify that sentiment.. and all their newly minted words seem legit to me. Maybe I’m just a silly outdated millennial now
fr fr
- France France
Yeah, language changes.
Crazy, right? It's cool though.
That second sentence would be nearly unintelligible 80 years ago.

Why the heck is this in /c/shitpost? That's a quality post and it belongs to the front page lmao

Lemmy loves shit and poo this is where the nuggets hang

frfr?

I know I'm old but what does 'no cap' mean?

It means you're being On God Fr Fr about something
It means "I am not being capricious"
Jk I have no clue and don't care don't correct me
A cap is a lie /exaggerated boast so no cap = I am being serious or this is the truth

9/11 was not poggers

Rizz

fr fr
I see your rizz and raise you a skibidi. (probably b/c I like the way that word sounds in my head... sk-i-bi-di do dah day 🎵 🎶 )
Also, rizz means "the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner" so... now I have to think about GWB strutting his stuff, thanks for that:-P (that's surely what made me think of my own word... gotta flush it out somehow?)
- Rizz is just short for "Charisma"

sir the twin towers got phanum taxed

I was watching the Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve from 1999 and immediately after the ball dropped they cut to a shot of the NYC skyline with the WTC intact.

My Zoomer kid was shocked. Every time they've seen the WTC it's been at the start of some 9/11 documentary.

It's in every "cut to a shot of NYC" scene pre-2001
- So nothing they would have seen since they're still kids and were born well after 2001
- I don't think the kids these days are watching a lot of "You've Got Mail"

Iraq Sus!

Jus me bro but dick cheynz be acting sus tho fr fr

This is going to be "too soon" until all of the millennials are dead.

Millennials in NY were cracking dark jokes about 9/11 in high school. “Too soon” never existed for some of us.
- That's coping humor. There's no stopping that.
Everyone outside the US are over it, especially considering the war to follow
- Yeah I can see that.
George Carlin was first.
Joan Rivers got there just after.
We've been laughing at jokes about 911 for ages. Being edgy isn't new, even boomers do it
- I remember Gilbert Gottfried at a Friar's Club roast. Can't remember what the actual joke was, but I remember he lost the whole audience, and then won them back with a spontaneous telling of "The Aristocrats"
  Kudos for Carlin, who made fun of government propaganda. Maybe not so much for Joan Rivers for making fun of FDNY widows.
  (I'm not a boomer, though. Or a millennial. Or really that edgy anymore, if I ever was....)
- Oh I know. And there's some lessening of the emotions, I'm not enraged by the jokes this time. Just...sad.
Maybe, but we're already dead inside.
I feel attacked! 9/11 this mf!

Yea but does this hurt the broccoli tho

YouTuber Sven Johnson: Someone copystrike this meme, they stole my hair.

I got bullied in elementary school for having that haircut 😂
- correctly, so

Bruh moment

Imagine if George Bush had a low taper fade

One of the justifications provided by Al-Qaeda for the attacks was this https://youtu.be/KP1OAD9jSaI

Everyone took it so seriously. Lame as fuck. (Joke obviously)

I pray I don't live long enough for the zoomers to control the world.

At least in few years they will all be old enough that their hair will fall out.

What kinda boomer crap is this lmao. Millennials and xers like to act all high and mighty as if we didn't birth the evil that is 1337 (leetspeak). Don't forget our cringy "le so random" phase 🤢
tHe nOrWHaLe bAcONs aT miDNigHt roflcopter!!! Rofl!!!11111
Hooman, what r u doing hooman?
I can has cheezburger was peak humor for us at one point ffs. If we don't get over ourselves and stop dunking on gen z we're just as bad as the assholes that made all those braindead articles about avocado toast and how millennials are killing the diamond industry.
Besides, gen z is just us but raised with less false hope and American dream bullshit. The people you gotta worry about are gen alpha. Those are some feral mfers right there. They're being raised by the internet and it shows lol
- I always thought I was pretty well put together and low-cringe, but every now and then I get a Facebook memory from ~2010 that really sheds some fucking light on exactly why I didn't have a girlfriend. These memories reveal to me that I was indeed very cringe, and very much a product of some of the lamest internet culture in recent memory. The frequent use of the cat face emoticon :3 when interacting with girls is enough to make me want to bury these things where they can never be witnessed again. Conversely, these memories serve as a reminder of not only just how far I've come as a man, but also as a husband, a father, and a member of society.
- w00t, j00 = t3h h4x0r roflcopter
- All those people can get thrown in a lake too and I thought that at the time. Almost all your examples are stuff that was exclusively on the Internet and a subculture on the Internet at that
  Least they didn't all have only one broccoli haircut.
