    Imagine old people talking like this in forty years. Utterly brain rotted, actual terminally online octogenarians with fifty years of memes and social media kicking around in their heads instead of thoughts.

    Now remember that unless shit changes, those will be the people in charge of the world.

    We might be in the Star Trek timeline. ☢️

      Or… referencing old memes as shorthand/shortcuts for otherwise complex concepts or situations. It might be a tool in an updated kit for more efficient communication.
      Then again, I might be a glass-half-full kinda person, in some respects.
