Clever insults rather than substantial discussion or "to cut off heads in order to appear taller," rather than doing the work to actually be a better version of self.

Moaning about issues without putting in effort or taking any risks to correct issues.

I’m gonna sound like a boomer but cigarettes and not using PPE, including with recreational activities such as motorcycling and hobby crafts.

Becoming a meat crayon isn’t worth “looking cool.”

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 month ago

I think you just sound like a rational human being that doesn't consistently use their emotions for decision making.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 15 points 1 month ago

Around here it's the boomers who are smoking cigarettes!

Contrarianism. Being anti-"Popular Thing" just for the sake of being anti-"Popular Thing" marks you out as having no thoughts worth hearing out.

Calling yourself "Alpha". If you have to say it out loud, you are definitely not the Alpha.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sounds like something a beta would say

Certain kinds of rightwingers. Some of them are quiet about it, but the loud ones are often extremely obnoxious and clearly think they're hot shit.

Flashing money. Loud "notice me" logos on everything, although I don't know how many wealthy people do that.

Smoking weed in the park and dropping the N bomb constantly.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I always liked smoking weed in the park. Usually in my car or out on a secluded trail. Never felt the need to drop n bombs tho

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Obviously weren't cool enough

Loud cars. So fucking lame.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I'm about two months into owning a fully-electric vehicle (not a Tesla, thank goodness), and I have a hard time getting over how wonderfully quiet it is. And it's one of the qualities I couldn't wait to experience.

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think these people necessarily think it's cool either. They want attention and to annoy people, which is what they get.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Even worse with motorcycles. Seems like most people own motorcycles specifically for "fun" (waste fuel and make noise).

And just generally being loud. Even regular cars can be loud if you drive like an asshole.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Motorcycles I can kind of understand. Some people believe that making their cycle loud makes it more “visible” to other drivers, helping to prevent accidents. I don’t think there’s been any studies to prove this, but I can understand why people buy into it.

For real. Every time my partner and I go on a walk and some jackass roars by I sarcastically yell "Oh my God, I'm so wet now!"
