The only way to stay on top of the new shit is to heavily use tiktok. As soon as tiktok became the main thing I completely fell off the meme culture since I won’t use tiktok
Embrace getting old and intentionally using out of date slang incorrectly. It’s totally on fleek.
Sometimes it’s best to wait a while to see if the fad can survive wider culture. Remember:
- fidget spinners,
- what does the fox say
- ice bucket challenge
- flossing,
- harlem shake,
- planking,
- what colour is the dress?
- pwned
Neither does anyone else.
I remember the dress. Mostly because it’s related to a recent attempted murder. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/14/man-mother-in-law-blue-black-dress-viral-charged-trying-to-kill-wife
This is bananas.
Also why did they focus the story on the son-in-law that way, instead of talking about the murder victim? The murder victim whose mother owned that dress? If you’re going to force that connection, the verbiage would be much easier to deal with talking about the victim, her mother, and her husband the alleged murderer.
Yeah it’s like that but dumber.
Heh, and of course there’s a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_(fad)
I’ve reached the age where I just wait to see if they go away.
This is called wisdom.

Just some absurdist humor. Anyone remember kingdom hearts stupid files? This feels similar to that kind of 1am loopy humor.

I just had a student say “I don’t think anyone actually likes skibidi toilet, but some people just keep saying it!”
I just gave a slow nod.
