      How long until internet slang/lingo snowballs out of control and becomes an actual language? I mean, it’s already constantly spawning words and a diverse enough environment.
      I notice sometime I lack an optimal word to describe a concept IRL that an internet term would fit perfectly but would be cringe or meaningless unless the listener was also terminally online. There’s also stealing terms from other languages that catch on, but that don’t work offline(IE. Zeitgeist, pantsdrunk, kawaii) that get spread around enough to be generally know, even if a bit odd.

      Yes, including brainrot. Especially brainrot. It’s not all pleasant.
