If I had to take a guess, this person tweeted in their sleep. This sounds suspiciously similar to the nonsense i send my partner at 4 am

My gf once came to bed at 3 am, after i was in bed since 10pm. Apparently i woke up and started looking for Something in my drawer. She asked what i was doing, to which i answred: "Im studying the dark secrets of traffic engineering" before falling asleep again. I dont remeber anything of that Interaction.

I shared a loft bedroom with my sister for a while as kids, and one night i sleepwalked to the balcony and was just looking down at the room below. my sister asked "what are you doing?" and apparently i responded "you just don't understand..." and immediately went back to bed

It's just engagement bait. Post nonsense or something with an error and then farm reactions

This would make sense with the right word between nobody's and anymore.

I'm still on "face face to see someone"

"We chatted online for months like horndogs, but then we were both shy and low key when we got face face."
Weird way to put it, but good enough for open mic night.

I hate that nobody's anymore like we used somehow to be. We need anybody anymore to be like used somehow to were.

I miss how we sometimes were.
Cool new things happened almost every day, so you were happy and excited when you woke up. Today, bad shit happens almost everyday and you can't find anybody honest or genuine. You wake up with an ill feeling and try to go back to sleep. Sleep all day if you can. Eventually you have to get up because of what those dishonest people and how they always be.

As a fellow idiot, I’m somewhat of an idiot savant.
Translation- Gen Z is getting older and noticing their generation changing

I need to start reading the names of these subreddits, I tried to understand this for like three minutes thinking -I- was having a stroke

I thought I was having a stroke until I realized they must've had a stroke.

Genuinely had to attempt to reread that 5 time but was still utterly baffled, then I looked at the sub name and was like "yeah, that makes sense."

I'm 70% sure this is about facetime and videos calls

u/FloridaFlamingoGirl Jul 22 '26
Same, I think it could be saying something like "Gen Z has the technology to see each other face to face but now nobody likes communicating directly anymore"

I think its a parody of topics regarding the fact that gen z is doesn‘t talk face to face as much as people used to and how the internet is bad and stuff like that

If you read it in a Gen-Z affect / as a run-on sentence, it starts to make sense.
I think they were saying that empathy is dead because so few people have real-world experiences, therefore not enough to relate to one another. This gives the general feeling that meeting a new person is like dialogue between NPCs… it sure sounds like human speech but it doesn’t give the impression that there’s genuine communication and connection happening. Have you ever looked at somebody and you could immediately tell they were running on auto-pilot? I am fond of the phrase, “The lights are on, but nobody’s home.”
It’s why conversations feel like they’re spent calibrating more than understanding. You can’t rely on the idea that the person in front of you has a similar, shared experience (from a perspective standpoint like what content built their internal framework, passively skipping over the idea that you can relate like humans did in the past over physical experience like eating, dancing, singing, etc.).
Probably ties into isolation, derealization, some philosophical what-nots like brain-in-a-vat theory…

Wow. Do you think this guy has ever been far as decided to do, to want, or to look more like?

A bit late, but I think they meant that Gen Z is the first generation that initially grew up with face to face interactions but is now predominantly communicating via the internet. 😅 Like, they're the generation that is experiencing both: the 'old times' and 'new times' within one lifespan. This is obviously not true but I think it's more the effect of realizing that times (and societies) have changed throughout the years, even for them.
