"He's resting. Probably pining for the fjords."

"He's not pining, E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! E's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch, he'd be pushing up daisies! It's metabolic processes are now 'istory! E's off the twig! E's kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!"

It's just memes broken out by who was under 30 when they became popular.

I don't know if I should be more proud or disgusted that I was able to parse that entire thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Well, I'm proud of you, Internet stranger.

It is sad how many "is just the latest" I read before I figured out what was going on.

People who "make" a lot of memes are the internet equivalent of that really obnoxious kid in middle school in the 90s who couldn't go a full five minutes without quoting the Simpsons/South Park/SpongeBob.

On a side note, what's the show(s) that obnoxious middle schoolers quote nowadays? Can't imagine it's still those 3

Probably Rick and morty, skibidi toilet and bluey

Commas people, we have them for a reason!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Commas. The comma possesses nothing so why the apostrophe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

The comma possesses my love and admiration, and the apostrophe deserves love too.

I love that they keep coming up with dumb slang cause there's only so much mileage you can get out of the dumb slang you had growing up.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

My friends and I still quote Monty Python to each other. Embrace tradition.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Oh okay. Cool

I enjoyed all of that, so maybe I just like braindead bullshit.

I almost went into academia.

As an old fart, I like saying some of the brainrot to Gen Alphas that I know so that it makes them cringe hard. Sometimes in context, sometimes out of context depending on my mood.

Semi related, but my mum likes to pretend she doesn't know what 'Netflix and chill' means. She keeps saying it to people. One time I said mum please google that phrase. She said she's well aware of the meaning and just likes to see people's reactions.

Real life trolling is much more fun!

You can turn an entire party against you by insisting jaws is a documentary.

Oh no. I feel that. Back when ipods were a thing, I liked to call it my husband's "tiny radio." Particularly on planes, with lots of captive listeners.

But I was mainly torturing him.

It's OK - he does similar shit to me. 30 years and counting....

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think this round is where I've peaced out, but part of me is interested to see what comes next

But I grew up only 1 degree removed from nerds incessantly quoting Monty Python at each other, so obviously that's the sweet spot and everything past that is bad and wrong

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I ... But... Whatttttt

That parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It is an ex-parrot!

He's probably pinin' for the fjords

[–] [email protected] 107 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Monty Python bits were funny!

They are still funny, but they were then too.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

But they made their bread with nonsense, though! It was absurdism at it's finest.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

In with the Hedberg, too. Noice.
