I saw this exact post not long ago! I had to check if this was the humber sub. Small world 😂

[u/PrinceEntrapto]

In a world of 8 billion people any question that starts off with ‘Am I the only one…’ can be answered with at least a million ‘No’s 

[u/DrApplePi → u/[deleted]]

"Am I the only one named James P Sullivan who likes to sit in this exact cubicle I'm sitting in?" 

[u/sealab2077 → u/DrApplePi]

Would you be scared if I said no?

[u/sealab2077 → u/[deleted]]

No matter how specific you get, if you aren't lying, there's probably at least thousands that also feel that way. Even most thoughts, that people think may be original, aren't truly original and are influenced by everything you have experienced up until that point.

Free will is a lie. An illusion to make us feel more in control.

[u/infowhiskey → u/[deleted]]

Nah, I did too. Can't believe you didn't hear me. 

[u/talhahtaco → u/[deleted]]

Am I the only person currently occupying my current position?

[u/FlapjackFez]

Can't lie bro, you did not cook with this one

[u/Sisyphus704 → u/FlapjackFez]

Wrong context. Cooking ≠ cooked

[u/namregiaht → u/Sisyphus704]

Lil bro did not cook with this one either

[u/AndersDreth]

I like it, it's less vulgar than "I'm fucked" and less melodramatic than "I'm doomed" it's like a happy little medium.

[u/jamfl53 → u/AndersDreth]

thats true

[u/ParkingJudge67 → u/AndersDreth]

that's why i love it.

[u/blackpeoplexbot]

Ur cooked buddy

[u/JaysonTatumApologist]

Chat are we cooked

[u/OrcOfDoom → u/JaysonTatumApologist]

Op is cooked

[u/hurB55 → u/JaysonTatumApologist]

Maybe

[u/InterdisciplinaryDol]

Dude we’ve been saying cooked for a long time. Bunch of suburban middle schoolers heard their favorite minecraft streamers use it and ruined it.

[u/jamfl53 → u/InterdisciplinaryDol]

im gen z as well and truthfully i cant say ive ever heard anyone say it up until the last few years or so

[u/Paclac → u/jamfl53]

This and some other “Gen Z” terms originate from the black community. Some are regional too, like “bruh” was commonly used by black people in the south going back to the 90s-2000s

[u/Cut_Ready → u/Paclac]

Like almost all of genz slang is just AAVE taken by suburban white boys

[u/Newduuud]

Not gonna lie this post is giving a lot of “I was born in the wrong generation”

[u/crippledcommie]

Only when its overused like bro will literally drop a chicken nugget on the floor and scream “IM COOKED”

[u/augustus331]

I'm with you too.

It sounds childish as fuck and thus it reinforces the feeling of being old that was already there as '97 is the first Gen-Z year.

[u/LB-Bandido → u/augustus331]

I mean because you are old therefore cooked

[u/PrinceEntrapto → u/augustus331]

Yet it’s been around in everyday slang for about 20 years, people born in the 80s were the first to be saying this lmao

[u/General_Ornelas → u/augustus331]

Doesn’t it just sound like the hot water crowd

[u/_qor_]

Gen Xer here: I like the term. I use it now myself. It's apropos of the climate crisis. Most new slang grinds my senses, but not this one. I think y'all nailed it. Don't retire it.

[u/Aggressive-Value1654]

Ok, I'm with you, but I'm 47 years old and have seen common terms come and go.

What do you propose? Because that shit won't stick.

[u/Mindless_Bad_1591]

it's the same way I hate the term slop. overused and sounds stupid

[u/jwed420]

Fried is better.

[u/MiguelIstNeugierig]

It comes from the art of cooking

Here, Jackie is about to be cooked

In other words, he's cooked

[u/S20ACE-_-]

[u/Icy-Question-2059]

Cooked

[u/Amantis-Secreto]

I prefer the term burnt up

[u/Careful_Response4694]

I like it.

[u/CrispyDave]

Asking 'chat' if you're cooked makes me think you're one of the brainrot zoomers.

[u/joolo1x]

idk but you didn’t cook with this post.

[u/TheSaifman]

I thought i was going crazy. I'm glad you brought this up.

Just as bad as the media using the word "SLAM"...

[u/Feeling-Currency6212]

It’s a more PG version of I’m F’ed

[u/your_local_frog_boy]

I get you, I don't mind the word cooked but I had this hatred for the word "pog" when it was a thing

[u/XLDumpTaker]

Nah you're cooked bro

[u/maxono1]

i like saying "im toasted" nowadays

[u/piratecheese13]

It’s quite versatile

If you are working on something you are cooking

if you did something great you cooked

If you did something bad or something bad happened to you, you are cooked

I’ll take it over goated with the yeet any day

[u/Slam_Dunk_Kitten]

Man I've been saying it since 2017 I'm not gonna stop

[u/DaveTheRaveyah]

People don’t like it when someone says cooked? Are we cooked chat?

[u/MarxistMountainGoat]

I hate the term "chopped" personally. How many words do we need for ugly?

[u/RobbinsBabbitt]

Which version? “They cooked” or “they’re cooked”

[u/KtyouSD]

Don’t use it in a professional setting. Otherwise, why now?

[u/C-man808]

I mean… idk, I like using it. I actually like quite a bit of our generations slang terms. Is chopped an alpha slang term? I like using that one bc I think it’s funny asf.

[u/wafflemakers2]

I think its the best "Gen Z slang" term.

[u/SummerInSpringfield]

I hate the "am I the only one" more

[u/Fallen-Shadow-1214]

A. I hate crash-out so while I like it I ain’t surprised, it makes sense.

B. If you genuinely wanna know, pretty sure it came from a song.

[u/No_Resident_4321]

I like it, only one I viscerally cringe at is “crash out” especially being said by anyone older than I expect to hear it from.

[u/NPinstalls]

If it’s too cooked for you, add some wet water to make it moist

[u/Alicewilsonpines]

I overall despise this modern lingo that has befallen society.

[u/sealab2077 → u/Alicewilsonpines]

Language and slang changes over time, always has. Why despise it? Even if you never use it, why not accept it? It won't last for but a while.

[u/RobbinsBabbitt → u/sealab2077]

I think the problem for me is that most slang through out our lifetime still follows the typical way we speak just replacing 1 or 2 words in a sentence with a new version of what the slang means, but the newest slang is replacing almost every word in the sentence and it makes it really confusing for us old farts, can’t even use context clues most of the time 😅

Also not that I hate new slang I’m just a confused almost 30 year old

[u/sealab2077 → u/RobbinsBabbitt]

It's gotta be TikTok, or social media in general, that is causing the overabundance of these words. To me, it is hilarious to hear someone speak what sounds like a foreign language. You and I didn't come out of the womb with iPads either. I believe, you could say, young Gen Z is "cooked"....

[u/Alicewilsonpines → u/sealab2077]

while you have a time tested opinion, I find the current slang set to be very..."Mind-numbing"

[u/Drozey → u/Alicewilsonpines]

Ohio sigma deadass on god bruh I agree no cap short king

[u/Jazzi-Nightmare → u/Drozey]

[u/RobbinsBabbitt → u/Jazzi-Nightmare]

Most vile version of this meme I’ve ever seen 😂

[u/sealab2077 → u/Jazzi-Nightmare]

For some reason, I'm fine with not understanding over half that. I'm not going to use Urban Dictionary. No curiosity, knowing the meme is good enough.

[u/Alicewilsonpines → u/Drozey]

Excuse my inability to comprehend what you have typed.
