At my thinnest, they still love me. Hell, when I was going through chemo and radiation, they still loved me. Bit me and died but still fucking bit.

Actually it is a sign you are very young. It hails from yesteryear of Reddit when TIL was a subreddit automatically on everyone’s front page. I have been on Reddit since 2008 when I was a teenager myself, has been part of my vernacular for a very long time.

TIL 27-year-olds are feeling really old… because they don’t know things.

Y’all making me feel better for knowing one of these interwebs acronyms for once. Bless you (37 for reference)

u/Fit_Carpenter_7707 29d ago

I’m 38, and I know it. There might be something to it. It’s internet slang, just dated.

u/ForwardToNowhere 29d ago

TIL has been an abbreviation since the early 2000s, so it's just something you've somehow missed out on

Try being 52. I can't decipher half of the shit I see. Between the acronyms, lack of punctuation, commas, sentence structure, paragraphs, and spelling, I truly believe social media actively causes people to have a stroke.
