Skibidi toilet? As a 39-yr old millennial, I'm aware that was a thing like a year ago, but I assumed it was a Zoomer meme or something. I can't get past that captcha.

EDIT: Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in "what is skibidi toilet" into Google, not answer what it is. Ugh, I'm turning into my Silent Generation/Boomer parents.

Skibidi toilet is actually one of the first gen alpha memes, not gen z.

Oh damn, I'm starting on the Boomer habit of complaining about Zoomer culture when it's actually Alpha culture.

It feels like yesterday, Boomers were complaining about how annoying millennial kids were, when we were actually adults in our 20s/30s at the time. I'm just realizing that was over a decade ago, and now I'm doing the same thing to Zoomers. Someone please stop time before I get any older; I want to get off.

Poor Gen Xers still don't exist.

Not as hard as you think. Stopping is not the problem. Stopping and still having fun is.

As a Millennial, I'm now too old to tell the difference.

Yeah, I was guessing my way through most of this, and while I've seen the thing I didn't know what it's called.

Yeah, maybe the m CAPTCHA developers only wanted to share nostalgic memories of Google search results without ads. EDIT : let me fact check before I've written a lot of nonsense. Yes, seems fair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

My genX ass was trying skibidi on its own cause most of the rest of the text is usually auto-suggested while typing in the search terms.

Ha! It took me a minute too to realize that having to google WTF a skibidi toilet is was the Millennial test, not being expected to know it.

Finally, a sterotype of "millennial" that recognizes we kinda be old now!

You must be. It literally tells you what to do. Of course, I assumed proper grammar and got it wrong the first time.

More of a Simple Simon Says.... really

Do you also respond to Amazon reviews "that hasn't happened to me"?
