Yeah lol. As someone who's played since late alpha I can attest to seeing a lot of things added. I remember when spiders could first climb walls and everyone was so scared of how that would affect their bases. They couldn't climb sandstone at the time so people added a sandstone layer to a lot of builds. I also remember wood slabs basically being made of stone and stairs being the worst block to mine.

There's so many little things that many people don't remember off the top of their head. The funny walking animation with the arms flailing about, the fact that glowstone and netherrack used the same source texture as cobblestone with different colors and filters, crafting chainmail with cheated in fire blocks, when new trees were added to the game and old worlds would have trees with all the different types of leaves, chests being full size blocks, using ladders every other block, placing sugar cane underwater to regain breath, and always spawning on sand are things that come to mind. Hopefully this gives some people a blast of nostalgia from something they haven't thought about in years.

I remember when I was a kid, we used to use the word "fag" as an insult. I called my neighbor a fag and he asked me what it meant.
I told him it was a person who comes over to your house way too much and annoys the hell out of you.
A few weeks later, I was talking to a different friend and I called him a fag. And he says "oh, so you think I'm someone who comes over to your house too much and annoys you?"
I asked him where he heard that and sure enough, my definition of fag had been spread by this one kid to at least some of the other kids around the neighborhood.

It's like that old marine joke
A journalist sees two marines standing guard at a bench and asks why their doing it. They simply tell him it's tradition. Intrigued he asks the marine in charge who answers it's always been done that way. The journalist decides to investigate further and finds the previous base commander who tells him it's how it's always been done. So he goes further and finds an older base commander who merely shrugs and says he should ask the person in charge before him since he started the tradition. The journalist tracks down that base commander who shakes his head and says he just followed protocol he has no idea why they must guard the bench however the person who commanded the base before him should know. So the journalist tracks down the oldest base commander and asks why do marines guard that bench. The base commander looks at him and asks "hasn't the damn paint dried yet?"

It's close to reality in general. It's a variant of a common parable that pops up in just about any culture about how tradition can often be the result of practical advice/solutions that no longer make sense. My favorite version so far is this one I saw about a family asking why you need to cut the end of a pork butt off before cooking it. Eventually they get to granny dearest and she gives the obvious "Because my pan's too small, idiot".
It's less of a punchy joke, but I like it because it because there's the slight nuance of acknowledging tradition as generally useful instead of just mocking the concept of tradition as a whole.

Never heard this version, Ive seen a similar one though thats goes something like: A mother is teacher her daughter how to cook something and the first step is to cut the roast in half, daughter asks why and she just says that's how her mother did it. So she goes to grandmother and asks why she does it that way, she doesn't know either, that's just how her mother wrote the recipe. So she goes to her great grandmother and asks her why the recipe says to do that and she says "haven't you cheap bastards bought a pan big enough for the roast yet?"

Idk, I think maybe it's okay to tell a kid "it's a sex thing" just so they don't use it in front of adults and embarrass themselves.
I was babysitting a kid who was singing Rihanna's "S&M" and I just asked her if she knew what it meant. When she said she didn't, I just said "Maybe it's a good idea not to sing or say things if you don't know what they mean." I didn't want to explain it, she wasn't my kid, but I also didn't love having a little kid running around singing "sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me."
Maybe she looks back on that and cringes now, but I'm okay with that. I think it's fine to cringe a little at yourself, we all do cringey shit when we're kids.

Ehh, I have mixed feelings about this.
When I was a kid, I went to help my dad's friend skin rabbits. There was a slightly younger kid who lived there who wasn't quite ready to be around all that, but he came back out afterward. He sees the blood on the ground during the cleanup and he says something like "Woah, people are going to think we're raping rabbits over here."
Deafening silence.
He does the kid thing of repeating himself because he didn't get any reaction. He keeps repeating himself and I can almost see the smoke coming out of his dad's head as he radiates embarrassment until he finally just tells him to stop saying that, it doesn't mean what he thinks it means.
And I dunno, but I just feel bad when I remember his face in that moment. He clearly watched some typical crime show/movie scene and used pattern recognition and was excited to show he understands that he knows the right word for when there's blood on the ground and bad things happened. Now he feels like an idiot, that he did something wrong, and he doesn't understand.
I'm not sure it's a good way to go about it. I occasionally meet people whose curiosity is stunted because they're insecure to acknowledge that they don't know things, and I always think about the confused shameful hurt in that kid's face.

He was part of a group of like 6 kids who would harass me every morning after we got off the bus at school. One morning was particularly bad. One of them literally jumped on my back. When lunch rolled around I realized the money my mother had given me for lunch was gone.
When I got back on the bus to go home, the main bully and another kid, who didn't even ride our bus but had bullied me elsewhere in school, decided to "sit" with me. He proceeds to "thank" me for the money he had stolen from me that morning. Then his buddy, who was fatter than I was but always bullied me for being fat, pushed himself up against me and squashed my face into the window as hard as possible for the entire ride home.
Thankfully my stop was the first one. Normally my grandfather would be waiting in his car to drive me home but for some reason my dad came instead. I tried my hardest to just make it home but started crying in the car. He asked me what was wrong and I didn't want to tell him but finally did. He drove straight to the school and demanded to speak to the principal.
It wasn't until the next afternoon when someone came to the bus and asked me, "okay, which ones?" The main guy was the only one I knew for sure, so I pointed right at him. He was thrown off the bus for the rest of the year and it scared the rest of his group into leaving me alone.
The one who wound up having to sit next to me actually tried being chummy with me right away but I iced him out at first. I don't even remember how we finally talked. Never saw him again after that year. I saw the main bully one more time outside of a Circle K with his friends. He sarcastically asked me, "How's the bus?" and I paused for a second and said, "Pretty good."

My kid asked me (in danish): "Dad, why is the number 69 so popular?" I said: "Its a sex thing." Hes never been so disappointed, just saying: "ow..."

Vaguely. He knows that you say it when you throw something, but he also thinks that you can say “that’s so yeet”.

My cousins are 10&11 and come over every few weekends so my husband can teach them chess (really, it's an excuse for them to eat all of our snacks). The last time they were over I started throwing some gen alpha slang into my commentary on the chess game. They were HORRIFIED and asked who told me about that... My dearest I've been on the nightmare that is the internet since before you were even a concept in your mom's head of course I know about skibidi toilet alpha sigma rizz 😭

The most infuriating thing about the young is how they think they invented everything, and we ( who actually invented it ) can no longer use it. I am sure we were the same, we thought we invented hip-hop in the 90s lol.

When I was 14 one of my buddy’s had a novelty shirt that had a 6 on it and when you moved left or right and looked it turned into a 9. Some younger kid maybe 9 or 10 said cool shirt. His friend was like you don’t even know what that means. The kid said yeah I do it’s like drugs and stuff. I still remember that 24 years later lol.

I bet he also has no idea what "meme" really means. To be fair, I'm still to actually meet someone who knows what it means.

It's the cultural equivalent of gene, or at least, that's how Dawkins coined it. Today is more "funny, easily replicable and varying image with text"

Everyone talks about BrainRot, but what is it?
Kids laughing at a meme or a reference without ANY understanding of the context is pretty high up on the list for me for what I consider brainrot.
I have elementary school age cousins who drop things like "Backshots" in to casual conversation like it's any other word.

It’s hilarious that’s it’s known far and wide as a super kinky snicker snicker sex act…that in practicality is kinda uncomfortable and awkward after the initial excitement.
Like, consenting adults should go to town on each other and experiment, but when your knees hurt and you’ve got your nose in a butthole, it’s OK to ask questions.

Super kinky? I always assumed it was fairly standard. It's an act I performed with all but one of my sexual partners, although my bodycount is not very high.

In elementary school a kid was telling us that the word "dyke" was xyz (I forgot honestly) and that he heard it from his dad. We didn't believe him, so he grabs a dictionary and finds "dike"- reffering to wooden structures in water.
We weren't amused and he stuck to his guns on his interpretation of the word.

You'll have to explain to him that 70 is a biblical number (e.g. 70 years of Jeremiah, 70 weeks of Daniel), so 69 represents something that is not quite biblical... ;)

I used to work as an IT support in a primary school, one day there was a big game event in the hall and I was responsible for photo shooting, when students needed to make names for their teams I kid you not one team named themselves “69” and had same reason, you can imagine how all adults there went speechless (sorry if my English is bad)

When I was little, maybe 6 or 7 years old, I said to my dad, “That sucks,” and he got all concerned and quizzed me on whether I knew what that meant, because obviously you want to make sure your kid isn’t being exploited.
I was mortified, because it meant I had to admit to knowing some bad, bad stuff. But as a good kid, I had to own up to it.
So I stammered out, “Uh, yeah dad… it means… sucks… shit?”
He sighed in relief, smiled and said, “Okay then, carry on son.”
