5/7 perfect score.
And after millennials pass, old folk's homes will be filled with people shouting "SIX SEVEN" over and over
"This adulting thing is hard. I guess I'll die."
11/7 with rice.
Right? Much better to get your skibidi rizz on than have your cortisol spiked by 67 mogged millennials.

Apropos of nothing, the term "doggy" or "doggo" is possibly going back to the roots of the word; the Middle English word "dogge" kind of came out of nowhere and it's hypothesized that it might have been a diminutive slang word (like "doggy" or "bunny") that ended up becoming the standard term for the animal, supplanting "hound".
Aw shit am I outing my age when I say "pupper" god damn it.
I make jokes about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIFF_(Usenet) and /. and no one already understands me.
This is what I love about any movie/tv show/book/novel/short story about the future .... it's all spoken in the same language that we all understand now.
But if we could listen to regular everyday English spoken in North America 100 years ago, it would sound a bit off and unusual. Listen to English as it was spoken in England 300 years ago and it would probably sound very strange and unsual, go back to 500 years ago and we would probably have a hard time understanding.
The same thing is going to happen in the future (IF there is any kind of future and we don't blow ourselves up or kill ourselves off in some unusual, creative and complicated way) ... historians will listen to recordings of how we talk today and think of us in the same way we think about someone from 1800. Go even far into the future about 500 years and someone from 2526 will probably not be able to understand anything we're saying unless they use a translator of some kind. Those people 500 years from now will probably look back us like we're making grunting sounds like some cave people from prehistory.
Does this mean that people will return to speaking normal English in the future?
Maybe the elders who are "far gone" these days are just using ancient meme language that nobody understands anymore.
I donโt know anyone who still talks like thisโฆ
This tends to be how I think of the generation that fell in love with words like "yeeted" and "gabbin"* and all those words that are completely unnecessary in lingual context, and just meant for style points or whatever.
* ach, it's not exactly that, but something similar
