Tbh my solution thus far has been just not caring. Celebrity culture is annoying; and the people who care about it are annoying too. I don't care about the Kardashians or whoever and their lives, mine is made measurably better by not paying attention to theirs. Hence why I just pretend to be a celebrity denier, denying celebrities exist. It's a funny bit and it highlights my apathetic attitude towards them. Primarily because I get my entertainment and art from the sources I endlessly peruse for unpopular (read: extremely small) creators. tbh life this way is amazing. I really wish people who care about celebrity culture would stop being as judgemental as I've found them to be regarding what I like when it comes to how niche I like stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I assume we're not talking about this Bat Boy, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

That is cursed

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

When you walk away from celebrity culture you’re free to define what success looks like for you, instead of being told what success is and blindly chasing that.

That’s a brilliant mindset.

Nothing to see here. 🫥

[–] [email protected] 47 points 5 months ago (4 children)

It's SKIBIDY TOILET you old fart.

I'm 42, so technically younger than you.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'm positively a baby in comparison at 27 and I'm still lost on these memes

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well that's because you're too young!

Skibidi is something Scatman John said back in the 90s

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Makes sense, it would be a Scatman starting a toilet meme, wouldn't it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

I wish I didn't understand this

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm 41 and ALSO tragically unhip! Even my way of saying it is devastatingly passé!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy is popular in retirement homes I see

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow, in which country do you retire at 50??? I need to know!!!!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

By 'retired' they mean 'made redundant and failing to find other work'.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Ageism in the workforce is definitely a thing

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

Always has been.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

95% of celebrity news has always been that meaningless. It isn't an age thing, as even when I understand the headlines, they just aren't important. Even if I'm interested in what the celebrity is up to because I like their work, those stories are about inane bullshit that doesn't even matter to the celebrity themselves.

The important news happens irregularly and outside of their control, so the news companies create trash to pad dull moments in between. The same is true with all news, as important shit gets passed over to boost filler for more profitable topics. I often see nothing important on news websites, only to find seriously important stories from those same websites buried under the trash from third-parties.

There are gruntflips reported on at all levels. It isn't really new anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

I'm 37 and it has looked like this to me for some time.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

Gruntflip sounds dangerously close to cuntflap.

Anyway I'm about to turn 30, but it's not like I was ever one of the cool kids. As a teen/young adult I was a dork. (still am, it's just that when you're an adult no one gives a shit)

So I've instead been watching the evolution of the inscrutable language of young people from afar for a very, VERY long time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

From what I understand, they Skibidi in toilets now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

K smog. Weren’t they in that… dragon and jewellery movie with the guy from the detective show? No, the other one. With uhh Tom .. Spellman! — me who has suddenly become my parents

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I'm 50 and I don't follow any news. I have limited time left can't be bothered to spend it away worrying or feeling sorry about unfortunate events.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I am unfamiliar with the grunt flip, only the warthog flip.

Seeing a YouTube link with the tracking referrers is like finding a stray dog covered in ticks. Just sad...
