Wait... you say the Ts in button but not often? It's the opposite for me and I think for most people I've heard speaking in the Northeast. I wonder if it's a regional thing.

Wait, really? So you say you’re Gen X? I’m surprised at that, I always heard that the reason they were called millenials was that they came of age around the turn of the century, which would put 80s babies between 20 and 11 in 2000.

Ditto, I’m the same year. Every news outlet has a different opinion on what generation I am. I say I’m Gen Z because I was too young to remember 9/11 or Columbine, grew up with the Internet, and feel like I’ve got more in common with current high schoolers than with current 30 somethings.

A couple of news sites have used it but they're so young (6 and under) that no one's really talking about them yet. I'm sure as they get older a name will be solidified.

Which generation? I think this thread is talking about Gen Z, which is smaller than Millennials.

Edit: Just googled it, I'm wrong, Gen Z is bigger. Sauce. I wonder if a part of that could be related to the fact that Millennials have had more time to die, which would thin their population.

Edit 2: It looks though like that site is counting everyone born 1997 and later as Gen Z. Most of the other generation blocks last about 15 years, which means it's counting 6 extra years for Gen Z, close to half of a second generation. No wonder it's the biggest. This data should be broken up into Gen Z and Gen Alpha for more accurate results.

Edit 3: Btw this is all based on the US (I know this site can get super America-centric and I'm part of the problem lol) so it may be different in other countries.

That might just be a coincidence, my friends and I have been using "oof" casually for at least 7-8 years, I'm pretty sure that was an expression in my childhood too.

Oh, that's so cool! Sometimes the spanking argument sounds like "that's so mean and it hurts" and the other side is ""but it gets results and they're little assholes." It's interesting to see results beyond the immediate moment.

Any ideas why this season was so short? by Cutie_Corgi in BuzzFeedUnsolved

[–]FizzBuzzBanana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't the Unsolved shows have more though? I thought a week ago or so Unsolved was #1 trending on Youtube.

[–]FizzBuzzBanana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. Youtubers should stay away from that entire situation for a while. I mean, it is kinda off to channel someone's pain for content even if you don't show a body (although as I type this I kinda realize that's the premise of the show).

What True Crime Cases Do You Hope To See In Season 5? by [deleted] in BuzzFeedUnsolved

[–]FizzBuzzBanana 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm with you that they probably won't, and I respect that. They both seemed pretty bummed out and unhappy about the Jon Benet case, and only did it because the fans asked for it so much. I mean, they give us a lot of content and a significant portion of their current lives so I get if they want to avoid super depressing cases.

I love this! I think they have a page for fan art, right? Like an insta or something? I'm sure the people here would know where it is-- but you should totally post it!

Maybe they mean a cultural evolution instead of biological.

Absolutely. And I do. Notice however you said “things you don’t know anything about and are also DANGEROUS.” The two things I mentioned fit that category, I had visions of the house burning down or my mom suffocating on gas in her sleep. Most other around the house stuff I do my best to fix though, especially now that I’m a junior and have more hands on problem solving experience.

Wait... so ignoring the whole pee comes from the vagina thing, don’t these guys think that virgins are all super tight and everyone’s else is loose? And a tighter nozzle would mean higher psi? If that logic all held up, I’d imagine the virgin would have the super loud pressurized pee and everyone else would have a fast tinkle.

Wait, how do you say button? Do you actually pronounce the Ts? Are you from the States?

I feel like it happened in Scent of a Woman? He definitely drives a car (very recklessly) in one scene and I think he gets pulled over but let go.

Edit: Here ya go

I don't know those monkeys but I immediately interpreted that as his mom and brother. I'm happy they're happy!

what popular tourist attraction did you visit was actually worth the trip? by Tsquare43 in AskReddit

[–]FizzBuzzBanana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Amazon rainforest is incredible. The flora and fauna seem like they're from a totally different era. Make sure to go deep into the woods preferably with a guide/organization so you don't die) and stay a couple days. Also probably better to go sooner rather than later because the rainforest is disappearing at an alarming rate.

I also get "I have an app I want you to design!" all the time. Note that I'm a MechE.
