developments in youth language i like: -mogged suffix, slop affix, the use of "coal" to represent shitty posts

developments in youth language i dislike: goy- prefix, wider adoption of the term zog, the phrase "Diddy ahh blud" and concomitantly "sewerslide" and "grape"

(granted I'm in the camp of "how can we downplay perception qua perception as much as possible" for fairly petty reasons)

there's a physiological arg I'd make that prolonged exposure to cold temperatures (even if the drop is still significant) dampens possible intensities w/o perception coming into play

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

a meme, based on a joke from The Simpsons

panel 1: person 1 (wearing a top with a heart on it, holding a Monster, pointing to a cage) says, "I sleep in a puppy kennel. Do you?"

panel 2: person 2 (wearing a pink top) says, "I sleep in a big bed with my husband."

panel 3 (bottom): person 1 clutches their Monster and looks at person 2 with an inscrutable expression
