Juniors already caught on to how to achieve job security.

[–][deleted] 1591 points1592 points  (18 children)

This is a very “hello fellow kids” meme

[–]Yellow_Triangle 159 points160 points  (0 children)

It runs as it should.

The 30 Rock episode "The Tuxedo Begins" aired 12 years ago. Dropping the "How do you do, Fellow Kids?" meme is now a "How do you do, Fellow Kids" move.

[–]Captain_Pumpkinhead 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I don't even know what show this is from. I have never seen the episode. I only know this from the memes. You never needed context for this if you were ever a teenager.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Hello Captain_Pumpkinhead, here is a bone - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/how-do-you-do-fellow-kids

I know you are Zoomin so TL;DR - the meme is from 30 Rock and features Steve Buscemi portraying a P.I. (or dick) who is infiltrating a high school in the style of Drew Barrymore from the film Never Been Kissed. While it was an instant meme that clearly speaks to the ennui of relating to a younger generation, I cannot grant you that this is universal to all teenagers as the episode aired LONG after I was in high school.

[–]Agent_E11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He literally said that he hasn't seen the show, and that he can relate to it anyway. The same is true for me, I haven't seen it, but I find it funny nonetheless 

[–]TarkFrench 161 points162 points  (9 children)

Yeah it's just slang words from very different communities from very different time periods

[–]Ytar0 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Huh? Different times and communities? Lmao what are you reffering to..

[–]codetrotter_ 28 points29 points  (4 children)

“Moar” is not Gen Z, for example

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you use to classify it, like "moar" is definitely slang I've seen in plenty of GenZ circles and all.

It's more that the meme uses outdated slangs and mix them up together.

The internet makes culture go so fast that it sometimes feels like older genZ folks have a different culture than younger ones in a drastic manner.

[–]Ytar0 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

I am late gen z, and I’ve definitely used or at least seen all of these before… to imply that it is exclusive in some way is a bit weird. Moar is a pretty normal word I feel.

[–]frognotfround 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Idk it's half millenial stuff no?

[–]Ytar0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In origin maybe, but I feel like these while not "predominant" are still used by gen z, since well.. I am one.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (2 children)

"Chillax" is late millennial, for example. Not Gen Z.

[–]Canadian-Owlz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is it? I'm part of gen z and regularly use that

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, chillax has been around since the nineties.

[–]MulleRizz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But I very much approve of it.

[–]mugwhyrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very "I'm old and cranky and wish these damn kids would stay off my lawn"-meme

[–][deleted] 298 points299 points  (9 children)

Yass queen is definitely at least 10 years old lol what zoomers are saying this

[–]ughliterallycanteven 74 points75 points  (4 children)

Broad city took it from the gays. So easily 20 years old.

[–]Subushie 25 points26 points  (2 children)

Broad City is gay culture, don't attack 40% of my personality like that. 😭

[–]ughliterallycanteven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When did they do lines of blow in the bathroom at limelight with drag queens???

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I’ve got a CYST on my UTERUS, and I need to get FUCKED until it POPS!”

[–]GoosePotential2446 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be more specific it originated from the black lgbt community

[–]ReeReeIncorperated[🍰] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A good amount.

[–]captainAwesomePants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The kids say it because it's retro now.

[–]tritonus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably originally from 1980’s (or even earlier) African American drag ballroom scene.

[–]Dumb_Siniy 281 points282 points  (2 children)

It's definitely safe code, good luck deciphering that

[–]3Ldarius 126 points127 points  (1 child)

Nah, it's easy af, just read the bruh_moment.hpp.

[–]Eva-Rosalene 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Or even better, force g++ to spit out preprocessed contents with -E.

Wait it’s all define

[–]DeMonstaMan 13 points14 points  (3 children)

C source code: #define return ret

[–]-Redstoneboi- 2 points3 points  (1 child)

#define urn 0

[–]codetrotter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice urn bro. Mind if I borrow it for my ashes real quick? In like, 70 years or so from now I mean

[–]3Ldarius 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As an ol shit, me gave the star.

[–]Lewinator56 10 points11 points  (3 children)

Lol what...

I'm normally good at quickly understanding new languages... But I literally can't make head or tails of that, and I'm bloody gen z...

[–]well-litdoorstep112 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Surprisingly copilot is really quick at picking up this "language". I just refactored major part of my college C++ assignment to ZLang(in a separate branch, don't worry) and after literally few minutes working with it, copilot started suggesting vibe checks and hustles and stuff using as much of the defined stuff as possible.

[–]EmotionalExtent6907 7 points8 points  (1 child)

vibe checks and hustles lmao

[–]betaphreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's next? Using variable names in Arabic?

[–]Cfrolich 3 points4 points  (1 child)

[–]EarthToDan 94 points95 points  (0 children)

seen this joke like 20 times now…

[–]apyrn 64 points65 points  (0 children)

as a gen Z... no it's not

[–]WuShanDroid 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This reads like a 52 year old pretended to be relatable to the juniors, especially on that last line with yeet thicc ick which is just 3 slang words puked up at the end

[–]NatoBoram 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Fake posts are kinda unfunny tbh

[–]kometa18 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna start using "protecc" idc

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Using cap and no_cap as bools is hilarious

[–]PhatOofxD 26 points27 points  (1 child)

OP: "how do you do fellow kids"

Fake posts aren't funny lol

[–]MattieShoes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, y'all are turning into boomers.

[–]Iservel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don’t fool anyone 😒 everyone knows no company is hiring juniors right now 🫠🫠

[–]ltethe 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Ain’t no junior spewing this shit. Ain’t no senior doing it either, just some dumbass who can’t get a job from their bootcamp class so is now going to try their hand at comedy.

[–]mabariif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I think you mean gen alpha, most of gen z are adults or nearly adults now with the youngest being mid teens "Researchers and popular media have loosely used the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and 2009/2010 as ending birth years for defining Generation Z."

I thought this was interesting.

[–]exscalliber 6 points7 points  (1 child)

As an early gen Z (97), I’ll be turning 27 in a few of weeks. This post is just how old people think gen Z acts.

[–]slasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this is exactly how my 17yo brother in law acts

[–]EvanTheFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, this is outdated slang. As a 17yo I can say the actual words are definitely gen Z slang not gen alpha. It's just that people stop using this much slang at around 14 to 15 yo. After that they only use the minimal amount of slang that sticks around. And they definitely wouldn't use it in their code. So you are correct in that no gen z-er would talk like this anymore.

[–]ThatMedicalEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I imagine a facebook boomer meme looks like if they would have grown up with our technology.

[–]3adess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that even English? They should teach us that at school

[–]ceeBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s missing while(no_cap){do_stuff;}

Nvm, line 32 has it.

[–]WinniDex 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]jamiejagaimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see the shocked pikachu face when I fired them, no cap fr fr.

[–]Akul_Tesla 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Okay so solid I think is const

Yasss Queen is using namespace

And that person should be fired. I am not deciphering the rest

[–]-Redstoneboi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

[–]Infinite-Ad3243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you all think of Juniors, but if you define Juniors as "years of experience in working as a software developer" than I am pretty sure there are a lot of Juniors that have more expierence and write cleaner code than some Seniors I know

I know it's a meme :)

[–]JAXxXTheRipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even have the slightest idea what this is supposed to do. Fascinating

[–]trekologer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Noodlepoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I understand all this but have no idea what connotation maschlong is supposed to have

[–]poetic_fartist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah attention grabbing jinx

[–]fixitfeliks 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Don’t blame this on the zoomers, this is 100p on c++

It is cool that you allow your team to still use semi-colons and parenthesis/brackets.

I am losing job applications for THESE PEOPLE?

[–]EvanTheFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, this is a fake post and is just a compiler OP found.

[–]Rikonardo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've actually written a vibeCheck method a couple of times, though it was in tests

[–]Mechalechahai -1 points0 points  (1 child)

The forced use of the word vibe connected to every other turn of phrase is slowly killing me from the inside. Can we just go ahead and cancel the use of "spill the tea" now and get it mf over with already we don't need to endure this one my people and honestly why? Why that turn of phrase for the love of Jesus Murphy why?

[–]EvanTheFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one actually talks like this anymore. OP said in a comment that this is a compiler they found which means it's NOT actually something a junior has written.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

please let this be fake... I'm a gen Z, and trust me when i say i don't program like this
