This has the vibe of the Sims 2 voice that would leave for work saying βShy-byeβ.
Please comment, it helps my mental algorithm more than you realize.

Slightly offtopic:
When I go to the source in my browser, I see that this toot has been boosted roughly 800 times and roughly 1400 favorites.
However, when I go to this toot via my Mastodon app, I'm seeing 256 boosts and 1 favourite.
Why is this different in my app vs the fosstodon link to the toot?
similar boat here: what Iβve noticed is that, on your instance, 'foreign' toots will only show the favourites coming from your instance. So, if 3 people from your instance favourited a toot that has 1500 favs total, you will only see 3 next to the star
this isnβt true for boosts, and I donβt know what causes the difference there. Its probably something to do with an incomplete federation (either because of blocks or simply because your server isnβt aware of all the others; Iβve noticed that the difference is much larger now that Iβm on a smaller instance with less connections), but Iβm not sure
for toots coming from other people on your instance, you will see the full count on both favs and boosts
Maybe the instance youβre logged into on your Mastodon app defederated from some others? Hmm
We live in Czechia and my SO is teacher in local school. She asked a 6th grade girl what she wants to draw today and she literally responded "IDK". It's kind off weird how internet slang is slowly merging in everyday IRL vocabulary.
as in "aye dee kay", or simply saying "i dunno" in english despite being in czech school?
I mean it's kinda same when people say www instead of world wide web, even though the word has less syllable than the letter
All hail "dub dub dub"
Wub wub wub
I didn't learn that www stood for world wide web until I was 19
There will be a generation that didn't know lol stand for laugh out loud but will lol along.
Like when people say "LOL"? It's so fucking weird to me
When I was younger, there were people who would actually say lol. I wouldn't say it's new, but I think the advent of the internet has certainly accelerated some aspects of linguistic evolution.
It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall in a couple hundred years' time to see where English goes from here.
for me "lol" and "lmao" are desperately trying to replace non-lexical sounds of amusement like "hah!" and "eeey!"
I do this, I hate it, but I can't get rid of it so I've started to accept it.
Lol
Yeah, we say lol to each other as a joke when something is "funny" or as a joke in it self, but never as a response to someone outside the family circle or in formal setting. Bot that may change too in the future.
The internet is for sure speeding things up. I wonder how will our (Czech) language look like in 10, 20, 30 years. I am all for simplification but sometimes it just feels weird :D
I remember around 2015 people were saying ell oh ell
This vastly underestimates the laziness of English speakers. No: It'll be shortened to...
