Reading Thomas Ligotti’s ‘The Conspiracy against the human race’ which is a thrilling take on some relatable topics regarding humanity. A ‘true’ horror in a way. (I am only on the first “chapter” but each chapter is a new take on something we can all relate to and it is chilling.

“Are you guys hiring?”

“wow, look at that guy he’s gotta just live in the sunlight. Too bad he won’t be around much longer”

I can’t seem to access that one.

I’ll give you that one. I thought OP said 3rd. I gotta stop using Lemmy when I am stoned.

Thank you for pointing that out. Do you know any modern idioms? I couldn’t remember any but sayings. I was looking up sayings but a synonym is idioms though they are not perfect synonyms. That last part was just a joke. Mind the lack of “/s”. I do apologize for my “mistakes”. However OP asked about sayings and those “terms” classify as such. I could not find any modern idioms so I went with sayings as per OP’s request. Yet I have recognized the difference, I apologize secondly for not explaining myself clearer. As for the meanings, that is what is colloquial in my experience and that is how they are used sometimes, rather than just the origin, which I could have added in there. I apologize for not adding the true origins as I was going off of straight knowledge and experience using them and hearing them used. Sayings, like words can evolve over time. Thank you again for the observations.

Was homeless recently

Metaphor is dying as well and I wish it wouldn’t. That is a great point. Also, the money spent on coffee is enormous. I just make my own for a lot less.

So much work it must be fun. One day I will be one of those people who has two phones in service at a time for myself but for now let’s hope they don’t take away sideloading.

Note: never messed with Linux but one day I might, let’s see where life takes me.

Seems like there is definitely a need to, still.

“so you’ve seen to-…what, what was that word again I should have wrote it down when that was a thing. Now communications are just burned into our brains. Sorry for the large amount of literally hurtful words”

I don’t think I’d ever quit Android unless they pull a move like, idk, banning sideloading completely.

Be careful what you wish for or say, it might actually happen sooner than not. We are getting closer and closer to an Orwellian society and that technology is already hopping on the bandwagon. If control of the market is what they want but cannot have it they will still use every tactic to improve that agenda. It’s hard to notice but it is gradually happening.

(No I don’t watch too much Black Mirror, it’s not an addiction, it’s just inevitable)

This type of humor is paramount.

Imagine a bunch of random and different birds in one flock…

Most have been true at some point. They all (most) have a reference to something that once made perfect sense.

For example: Pot calling the kettle black. Most kettles were black at one era in time. Now they can be different colors.

But here are some [more] modern ones:

‘A 90s one: all that and a bag of chips’ a slang saying originating in the nineties. however it can be classified as “true” since many people would get a free bag of chips with their meal and it was “sweet” or “cool” to get that hence someone who is all that and a bag of chips is “cool” or “sweet” in the sense that “sweet” is also a synonym for cool. The true origins being popularized by Public Enemy as a ‘way to describe meals that black people used to eat’ (Professor Griff

‘The internet is dead’ said when we get the nostalgic shock of an era no longer the golden age of internet. And it is true, many things that were great about old internet are now gone or modernized into a streamlined mess of paywalls and adblock-blockers. This one was explained to me at one point on YouTube.

They are called idioms in a sense because some of us can’t help but feel uneducated when we cannot figure out what they mean or why that phrase would come to mean what it does. But it sure does make the past a bit more interesting. This last part is just a joke. I once heard a doctor explain what idiopathic meant to him as he stated “he feels like an idiot because he cannot find the out what the cause of something was” But Idiom means a phrase unique to language.

Edits: clarity and missing information.

I know I shouldn’t have set autocorrect to aggressive

Check out their song “out of time” it is interesting.

I like when Halocene performs with Violet Orlandi as a guest. Used to listen to this one alot though. Definitely is a banger.

Glad to see Leo on here. This cover is especially humorous and it slaps.

Thank you for the support!
