They don’t drink at all and they think consent is literally impossible after any amount of alcohol.
“skibidi” “rizz” “sus”
Alpha / Beta male noise. Ok kiddo we get it, you’re insecure
They keep talking about how much they like turtles
Ask them if they think that the movie “The Wall” is a good representation of the song.
When someone explains something everyone knows or is obvious as if they just thought of it for the first time in human history.
For me personally the first tell is when they are morally loading every statement in an argument and are unable to engage with a topic directly. Adults should be able to discuss or debate certain topics on the value of the arguments alone without feeling pressured to include a declarative virtue signal in every clause.
One kid in a roblox “exposed” type of video said that he could tell adults apart because they “typed really fast” - so, if it’s in a game, check if they type kinda slow? In a forum, no idea.
They’re the ones who are not obsessing over children’s toys or saying “adulting is difficult!”.
Very weird political positions, like eg. unironic Polpotism
Not sure if it’s the case anymore, but strong opinions were matched with EQUALLY STRONG STYLISTIC CHOICE!!!, often coupled with poor grammar/spelling, and a tendency to lean more towards rehashing the same opinion rather than making a rational argument.
I dunno, I get this as much from old people too. I think it’s less an indicator of age and more an indication of people who aren’t great at thinking.
Could it be more of a “new to the internet”-thing, maybe?
sounds indistinguishable from talking to right-wingers tbh
Similar mental capacity probs.
Was gonna say, that just sounds like some boomers I know.
calling people kid or kiddo.
Asking basic questions that can usually be answered with internet experience (“how do bans/kicks work”, or “what is an administrator”, “what is LAN” etc.)
Flaunting “new” features that existed on older products. (“This game let’s us upload our own music to soundtrack!”, “I’ve never seen a platformer like this” etc.)
Is this really common? I dont know any that even used a computer before 2015
Their gamer tag includes “Killer”. They’ve never heard the terms “gamer tag” or “handle”.
Did you know that you can download podcasts and play them without internet?
This one got me the other day.
Really? What’s next, podcasts delivered over airwaves?
It’s called WiFi smh
Using a year as an extremely long period of time, never uses “talk it out” as a solution to anything, mentions a YouTuber you’ve never heard of as if they’re a global celebrity.
Also related to the first point, losing their mind over something that delays their education by 4 months or more.
Ugh, the second one… I used to lurk on relationship subreddits instead of just watching soap operas like a normal person, and it’s wild how quickly people jump to divorce. And if the OP makes an update where they talked it out, a lot of the commenters get mad.
I don’t know that they’re kids, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
