Also, shouldn't there be one more year left before the oldest of Gen Z reach 30?

As a 30 y/o Millennial, I can confirm this is the case.
Karma police, arrest this man! He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge, he's like a detuned radio...
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Spez the pedophile that moderated the jailbait subreddit?
That Spez?
That's it.
Generation rhetoric is so stupid when it's not about the boomers /s
I am almost 70. I have meowed, mooed and other sounds all my life. Recently I have found out that I have ADHD and some Autism as well. I am getting assessed.
It's kind of a running joke in my family that I'm on the spectrum.
I mentioned getting an assessment to my wife, and she made what I felt was a pretty strong argument against it. Essentially that at 56 years old it wouldn't change anything, and it would be time, effort, and money spent with no gain.
I'm wondering what you are expecting to achieve with your assessment.
Also, meow.
Know thyself.
Getting an ADHD diagnosis opens you up for medical help. Getting an autism diagnosis can to in some places. In some states you'll get state sponsored healthcare. Depending on your needs of course.
I agree with this, and by all means healthcare should be provided if that is what you need. However, there's a bunch to be said that if you've developed a bunch of coping mechanisms that fix or address certain aspects, that getting medicated could completely fuck up your flow of what you used to do and now need to learn new ways to deal with things with medication. But knowledge is power, but I don't always agree that if you've lived 50 years unmedicated, and then getting medicated is always the answer but it absolutely should be available.
Being the child of silent generation parents and way older siblings I was just the weird kid. Always being told there was something wrong with me but never did anything about it. Once I got older I was just called quirky and uncle nutsy by my nieces and nephews. I first found out I have aphantasia and anendophasia only 3-4 years ago and reading all the younger folks stuff on reddit and here I figured maybe that is why I was the way I was. Asked my wife and doctor and they said well yes of course you are on the spectrum.

So if you don't think in words and also not in images... How do you think? I'm curious because I can't imagine thinking without either of those.
The hell if I know. Not a clue. It is my biggest question about them. I do think as I am typing and responding to you and all the other stuff I do but it is just there. I kind of equate it to having a filing cabinet. And in that filing cabinet are tons of folders and I just refer to each one of them even though I don’t see them or know what’s in them. Both aphantasia and anendophasia are relatively new in their research. Some of it I read makes sense a lot does not.
I had a bad habit of making "boredom noises" for years until someone pointed it out and I had to start working on it. Turns out the technical term is "verbal stimming" and it's definitely tied to either of those.
It wasn't a bad habit dude, it was just your natural way of regulating your nervous system
Congrats on discovering your membership to the Cool Kids' Club! :D We're glad to have you.

My Xennial boss is by far the biggest vocal stimmer in our office.
I do the occasional "ruh roh"
We allow ourselves the occasional Scooby snack...as a treat.
It still gets me that one of the last transmissions of the SS El Faro (ship) before it sank, was "ruh roh" Scooby do impression
It's the sound of their dreams being crushed in the dream crushing machine. Millenials and Gen Xers used to make similar noises back when they still had dreams.
Life means experiencing the crushing of your dreams and the death of all hope. I get by on just so many antidepressants.
Replace "Gen Z" with "parrot" and this still works.
Gen Z:
Some of that isn't limited to gen Z. I've had older coworkers make buzzer noises for correct/wrong (like those on a gameshow)
Assuming the Scooby doo one is stuff like "ruh roh", that specific trend might be recent, but people have been doing silly voices for a while
Although a lot of it could be tiktok trends (or vines for the millenials)
I think "ruh roh" is far older than gen Z. I think the first time I ever heard it was a gen X'er. Maybe it just got more popular?
Yeah i'm an early millenial and i got in trouble as a kid at a trading card game convention because i was playing the x files card game, which involved asking the other player yes/no questions and the guy demoing the game mistook my no buzzer noise for a yes buzzer noise and lost because of it.
Wtf is a yes buzzer sound?
"Ding ding"? Still not acceptable lol
That's not a buzzer though
I'd use it instead of duh
That's definitely a skill issue on their part

Recently I've picked up some 25-30 year olds.
OOP makes employment sound really weird. Like picking mushrooms. Or contracting a disease.
It's entirely accurate. From both perspectives.

Zoinks!
Jinkies, even.
I'm 37 and my ~24 year old coworker and I just speak in memes to each other for most of the day.
