I'm approaching 40 rapidly, I can't say "based" without cringing.

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm almost 37 and dunno what based, rule, or no cap mean. They all make me cringe though.

I've found that if I don't say those things and just treat younger people with respect then I don't get made fun of for being old so much.

You're not, but someone did. After the fact, I mean. Like not as part of its origin. Like as a lie.

No, no. This was Li'l B's blueprint from the outset. Li'l B has bitches and sex every day. That's how he became BasedGod. It's like One Punch Man.

46 here. It irritates me for reasons I can't explain.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I can. We're old and it's new.

I'm old and don't mind it. I absolutely hate "yeet," though.

I could swear "based" has been around about as long.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Well these things always have their roots in the past and get re-appropriated from other uses, but I don't recall seeing the term before 2 - 3 years ago.
