Blue Yeti

A very popular desktop microphone that has become a gold standard for most casual content creators. Mainly used for podcasts, livestreams, narration or ASMR.

User 1: Which mic should I get for podcasts?
User 2: Blue Yeti for sure
User 3: There are also cheaper mics if you dig around on Amazon or Aliexpress and their quality isn't that far off tbh

dropshipping

How to scam gullible people 101.

When you see a YouTube ad of some sort of cool brand that sells cool electronic gadgets, 9 chances out of 10 that you will find the same product on Aliexpress for 10 times less. They are just dropshipping you.

Tone indicators

A very useful thing. I've heard some people say its cringe, but to me tone indicators are seriously useful for anyone who finds it hard to understand the true meaning or implications in someone's texts, especially someone you don't know well. I would go so far as to say it's an evolution in our way of communicating online. They should definitely be used more often for clarity purposes.

Possible scenario 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok
Person 1: ??
Person 2: what
Person 1: Is that like a genuine ok or a sarcastic one or...
Person 2: I just meant ok
Person 1: Ohh, gotcha. Sorry my brain kinda interpreted it like you thought I was bothering you😅

Possible scenario 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok /gen
Person 1:👍

The 2nd scenario was much less problematic.

Good-option dilemma

The good-option dilemma is that typical scenario where—for example—some evil authority figure holding you hostage gives you two options: one where you suffer the most and the other where you don't suffer as long as you give them what they want. Obviously you pick the second option out of desperation, but the dilemma here is that no matter what option you choose, in the end the evil figure will still make you suffer (typically by being killed or watching your loved ones die).

I had a good-option dilemma today where my computer's SSD got corrupted and I either had two options: wipe everything and do a clean reinstall of Windows, or pay a few hundred bucks to have some specialist recover the contents. So I paid for the recovery but the people shipped back the wrong drive with somebody else's files! So in the end, I had to wipe my drive no matter which option I went for. This is the good-option dilemma in a nutshell.

okay but

1) A really stupid phrase affixed to the start of any sentence that Gen Z people like to say nowadays. In normal English, one would typically start with "okay but..." as a response towards someone that they disagree with (e.g. okay but that doesn't mean... etc). However, as a conversation starter it makes absolutely no fucking sense. Anyone who uses "okay but" in this manner will suffer from brain cell loss.

2) A lazy indifferent response to convey that you disagree with someone. Used when you're too lazy to refute their point, or if they were trolling or being goofy to start with. Similar to the phrase "Ok and?"

1)
The class: *dead silence*
Girl: okay but can I go to the washroom please?
Math teacher: ...yes my dear? I'm confused as to why you said "okay but" though, as if you were responding to something I said.
Girl: *leaps out of chair* HEHE bladder go brrrrrr!!!
Math teacher: Um. ok then. Back to class I suppose...

2)
User 1: Jet fuel can't melt steel beams
User 2: okay but
User 1: The emoji movie is one of the best animations
User 2: okay but

Okra

A lesser known veggie with an unappetizingly slimy mouthfeel to it. Not something I'd want to eat unless forced to by my parents.

Though... uh, if I have to be honest, Okra mucus sure does make for some great lube.

Me: Hey babe what are we eating today?
Her: Okra stir-fry!
Me: You mean that slimy veggie my mom used to force me to eat? Ewww....
Her: Pshhh! It's not that bad! I mean yeah Okra is hella slimy but it's got a great taste when you---
Me: *swiftly grabs some Okra slime and shoves it down my underwear*
Her: UM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING........
Me: nothing.... 😏
