My kid is in middle school, and the current thing is calling out to "chat" out loud if something interesting happens.
"Chat, is this real?"
"Chat, did you see that?"
"Chat, do you know the answer?"
Etc.
Some kids are already "terminally online".

Some kids are already "terminally online".
I say my kid is speaking Meme. It sounds a bit nicer than terminally online. But then again she's 2 and that's her third language. I'm just not so sure I can call it English when she mostly says It Is Wednesday My Dudes, Yeah Boiiii or It's the Selcuk Turks.
I honestly don't mind it, as my kid and I also bond and joke over quoting homestarrunner & other online media.
I think it's only an issue if the kids can't "turn it off" or have no other interests or hobbies other than doing things online.
Plus, it's middle school. These kids don't really have themselves figured out yet, so constantly parroting popular memes can gain them some acceptance from their peers.
Pov, the kid understood POV ♥️
pov you realise every generation is worse than the one before
Stop being an old person. Just because things are different doesnt mean it's worse. It's the same in a different way. I had pogs and power rangers. Kids now have memes and tiktok. Whatever.
Nah the tik toks are worse. We didn't have "brain rot" when we were young
yeah we did. we always did. maybe not as much but we did. I'm not sure when you grew up but look up any ytp on youtube and tell me that isn't brainrot.
That television will rot your brain!
Watch out! Your kids are reading horror comics
Don't bother talking to them and reading a comic with them to see what it's about or why your child likes it. Just get mad!
Problem solved
