I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.
If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said ‘flush.’
I miss the toilet game haha
Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.
Let’s start with you then.
Done. I don’t have any children and am not using a device to occupy them.
In all seriousness, this outright angry reaction is really surprising. People should be angry that their children are illiterate, but I suppose if they were, the children wouldn’t be.
Using slang doesn’t mean they’re illiterate dawg
Slang is actually a better way to communicate. You can communicate more, in a shorter amount of time, language is fluid, luddites gonna Luddite.
I didn’t say or imply that. The spread of the slang is over media they consume because parents are using devices as babysitters. Them being illiterate means they’re illiterate, dawg.

What? The only thing with any definitiveness in what you linked is that 72% of teachers are using an outdated method for teaching early level reading skills (letter and word recognition).
As a secondary point, it says that teachers feel their kids can’t read anymore so the teachers have taken to tiktok about it.
There’s nothing there indicating high levels of illiteracy, or that they’ve been caused by an over use of devices as babysitters, dawg.
I think you need to brush up on your literacy.
It sure as hell isn’t a good thing, and it isn’t helping kids read or develop, but this is the same argument that’s as old as fucking time itself where older adults blame new technology for degeneration of the youth. People literally made the same complaint about radio dramas leading the youth astray.
The core of the issue is that it has become increasingly easy for parents to use technology to avoid properly taking care of their damn kids.
I literally just pulled the first link by searching “childhood literacy US,” because I know many would be in denial. It really is hilarious how angry people are about this.
So you admit you did no actual research and just grabbed the first thing you found, and expect us to applaud you for it? GTFO
Don’t pretend you didn’t become obsessed with whatever cool new slang was flavour of the month when you were a child
I don’t remember getting any new slang as a kid.
Yeah, we just called people fags (sorry) or gay.
90s and early 00s were N O T LGBT friendly
That’s because to you it was just normal.
No shot fellow cool kid
It’s easy to say that brainrot is a new thing but can any 90s kid argue that this isn’t the same
A lot of my friends complain about about the “youth”, how they dress and talk and stuff like that. I always found that odd, because i for example had either a bleached blonde mushroom haircut or bleach blonde spiked up hair. Paired with a way too big fubu shirt and weird baggy pants. They weren’t jinkos, but very close.
I have no ground to stand on when i make fun of young people and i know that. Why don’t my friends remember how ridiculous we were at 14?
In the 2000s my brother asked our grandma to wrap a gift for his crush. She wrote something like “You’re quite the foxy young lady” and that was a good day for laughs.
Who needs a wingman when you have a wingnan?
GenX here. Kids enjoying doing kid things even if we don’t understand why they do that hurts no one? Keep it up, kids. You’re doing fine. No cap.
