Lemmy is so weird. Some of the memes make me think that average audience here is 15 yrs old, but then there is the occasional post like this which only 70 year old ancient wizards will understand.

Growing up doesn't mean we stop finding a well timed fart funny. It means 70 years of memories is still tickled by a crude punchline. Old people and young people have the same sense of humor but slang causes transmission errors.
I resent that. I’m 38 and I distinctly remember this. RedHat 4.2 (Manhattan) circa 1997 I think. That was when I started messing with Linux.
How do you have to be 70 years old to understand this?
I bet half of people surfing right now on r/all wouldn't.
Thank ya. as a red-neck american muhself Iz often feel lef tout of the fancy gizmo conversations yall be havin.
The modern appropriate version of this is Pirate or l33tspeak, it's a common technique for debugging localization issues without having to be able to read another language
I remember setting my facebook to pirate back in the day. Fun times.
I miss everything having pirate speak. I don't know why it stopped being a trend.
