I'm not crying you're crying

Some overly clichéd phrase people say to express that they are emotionally touched.

Emotional movie ending: *exist*
Someone: I'm not crying you're crying
Me: *rolls eyes*

草

The top definition is misleading. It doesn't even acknowledge the fact that this is the Chinese character for grass, regardless what the Japanese variant means. The Pinyin for 草 is "cao", and it is pronounced in English as "ts-aw-oh". When you see 草, you better think of grass.

I just wanna roll around on a field of 草 all day, u feel me?

Aspic

A yucky kind of food. Basically Jello but made from meat stock/broth and contains questionable meat products (e.g. offal), seafood or eggs inside.

Mom: Who wants aspic tonight!!!

Windows 7

In retrospect, one of the greatest operating systems ever created. It was simple, it was modern, and it performed flawlessly (unlike Win 10 which is constantly riddled with bugs). It is ironic how Windows 10 adopted a more minimal user interface design, yet it is twice as more convoluted to use than Windows 7.

Using Windows 7 feels like freedom. Using Windows 10 feels like oppression.

Man I miss Windows 7. Although I like the design and function of Windows 10 (and 11), I really do miss the old Aero UI with the glass-paneled taskbar and such. I also miss those Win 7 themes that had those UI sound effects that change with it.

And overall everything in Win 7 just felt so much simpler and way less intrusive. It felt like it was your home.

(P.S. are their seriously no GIFs of Windows 7??)

TwitchCon 2022

The absolute worst TwitchCon event in the face of history. Everything was a disaster. Two people got severely injured after jumping into a poorly-padded ballpit. Twitch got two of the streamers' pronouns wrong and refused to correct it. Spaces were too overcrowded. And many of the attendees were generally lacking in common sense and respect for others, with some of them even stalking a CC into their hotels.

Person 1: Remember TwitchCon 2022?
Person 2: Yeah it was a total clusterfuck

fact-checker

Fact-checkers are websites (run by an organization) that checks for the validity of rumors and widespread claims of a certain matter. For example, fact-checkers often debunk the claims of certain political moguls. Without fact-checkers, the internet would be a chaotic place of misinformation.

After hearing rumors that INSERT CELEBRITY HERE's death was a suicide, I went to a fact-checker website and found that this was not at all true.

spritecranberry.net

Spritecranberry is a new shock site fad which shares the same baiting principle as many other shock sites (goatse, tubgirl). Occasionally this link will be thrown around inside a comment thread, with many people trying to persuade others into clicking the link in promise of a free sprite cranberry. Those who click on the link will be redirected to a disgusting video of a person cleaning the inside of a dog's anal glands. Gross, but still nowhere near as nasty as the OG goatse.cx.

Fun fact, spritecranberry is the first shock site where the shock material is a YouTube video.

Troll: Hey guys, go to spritecranberry.net to receive your free can of sprite cranberry!
Gullible internet user: OH BOY! Free sprite cranberry!
Gullible internet user: *clicks on link*
Gullible internet user: *unplugs computer* what the fuck did i just watch
