Something that already existed beautifully in Persona 5 but Mark Zuckerberg wants to destroy this beautiful concept with stupid NFTs and gimmicky VR games. If you actually wanna experience the metaverse, go play persona 5. This ain't it chief.
Guy 1: Are you excited about the metaverse?
Guy 2: Metaverse as in from persona 5?
Guy 1: No I'm talking about Zuck's newest creation after rebranding FB to meta, you didn't hear?
Guy 2: Nope
Guy 1: Really? It's literally all over the news
Guy 2: Huh.
Guy 1: It would be crazy if they could port persona 5 over to the metaverse
Guy 2: I guess you could say that's very meta
Guy 1: Stop......

Get the Metaverse mug.1) Basically children's make-believe but for adults. Often augmented to a significant extent in which there are costumes, props and setting elements specifically designed for it. Funnily, the adults will take the make-believe far more seriously than the kids, who—at the end of the day—will come back to reality.
2) An internet phenomenon where the anonymity of the internet allows individuals to masquerade as any identity as they so please, with a central theme surrounding it (often a controversial one). There is no real motive for LARPing other than "for the lulz" or "for the aesthetic". LARPing is similar to trolling in a way, but fundamentally different. In fact, you could LARP around as a troll, thus creating a double-walled identity.
In both forms of LARPing, the degree of immersion can range from frivolous to completely involved.

SENSE 1: "So I was just going for the usual hike in the backwoods until I was suddenly startled by these medieval-dressed men with toy swords who leaped out of the bushes yelling some weird phrase"
"Sounds like they were LARPing"
SENSE 2:
a) Tyler likes to LARP as a dream smp fan for the experience, but really he has no interest in it.
b) Some (but not all) of the conspiracy nutjobs down in the YT comments section are just LARPers who do it for the lulz.
c) Danielle often LARPs online as a dude with the pronouns he/him. In actuality, Danielle is a girl and identifies as she/her, but being a guy feels more exciting to her.
d) "Take the comment sections in The Hollywood Reporter with a grain of salt, the users there are known to LARP as trolls"

Get the LARP mug.A Chinese-run shopping platform that sells incredibly cheap items, both price-wise and quality-wise. It is a junkyard for cheap generic crap that will probably break or malfunction within 2 days. Also uses the most economical shipping method so expect the crummy item to arrive in 2-4 months. The platform also uses very deceptive marketing techniques. For example they label some items as "free" under the condition of paying for shipping (in reality, they just disguised the real price of the item as the shipping free).
People tend to rationalize the inferior quality with the low price, but honestly you can find much better quality products on Aliexpress with the same low price.

My friend: Just bought these $2 pair of generic earbuds from wish.com but it sounded like crap and only lasted 2 days.
Me: Bro why are you using wish.com? Delete that shit and just use Aliexpress instead. With Aliexpress you are getting access to a wider variety and selection of items which includes high quality items from well-established Chinese brands. They are also crazy cheap too!

Get the wish.com mug.Cool math games has been around for a looong time. Disguised as a math website, it has been the most popular go-to website for K-12 students to play unblocked flash games at their school.
Every kid knows about cool math games, however, what most kids don't know is that there are dozens among dozens of other unblocked game sites that offer even more game selections.
In addition, most kids also don't know about PortableApps or portable programs in general, which are .exe files that don't require any installation to run the program (in this case a game). Examples of old (but gold) portable .exe games include Counter Strike 1.6, Halo 1, and Warcraft 3.
Unfortunately, most kids don't know about portable .exe's or other unblocked game sites, nor do they really care. Like a PC user trying to convert Mac users, or Android users trying to convert typical iPhone users, the result is always futile.

Teacher: *disappear*
Everyone else: *plays on cool math games*
Me, an intellectual: *plays Halo portable on a custom server*
EX #2:
My classmate: Hey wanna play some chess on cool math games?
Me: Ew no, cool math games is gay, you should go to unblockedgames007.com instead, they host waaay more games than cool math and it's ACTUALLY fun
My classmate: Sorry, I just like cool math games
Me: Ok suit yourself (sigh... yet another one bites the dust)

Get the Cool math games mug.A subscription-based media posting platform similar to Patreon. It was notoriously known for being the pimp of all e-girls, but has recently just banned all porn content. This is good news as there will be less simps, thereby increasing the world's average IQ by one percentile.
However, there is no reversing the sordid image that OF had already carved upon themselves. OnlyFans will always elicit a lewd aftertaste.

Friend (She/Her): Ughhh did you hear about the OnlyFans thing?? They're out of the porn business....
Friend (He/Him): Oh boo hoo! Let me press F on the world's smallest keyboard 😂😂
Friend (She/Her): I'm not joking dude, OF has seriously fucked me!!
Friend (He/Him): Lol, well I mean OF isn't the only option out there you know.
Friend (She/Her): Like what? Pornhub?
Friend (He/Him): *sigh* no. I can't believe I am suggesting this to you, but r/Sexsells is a good alternative. I fucking hate that subreddit, but hey, you could earn a lot of cash on there.

Get the OnlyFans mug.It's exactly what it says on the tin: a subreddit for memes about anime. There are good memes, and then there are bad memes. And that's pretty much it.
User 1: What's the most popular subreddit for anime memes? I know it's not r/animememes
User 2: r/Animemes
User 1: Ah thanks
User 2: r/Animemes
User 1: Ah thanks

Get the r/Animemes mug.The absolute worst of the worst clickbait news sites, basically the equivalent to McDonald's. Unlike other news sites, they did not earn their disgraceful reputation for being biased but rather for writing the most obnoxious, ridiculous, brain-dead articles that only attract those who have nothing better to read. Their entire site is psychologically designed to reel you in with a never-ending list of meaningless but mind-numbingly interesting facts and quizzes. The company is probably run by a bunch of greedy capitalist pigs that stop at nothing to get people to click on their articles.
Them: What's wrong with buzzfeed?? Y'all stupid if you think they have some political bias.
Me: Yeah......no. The pertinent problem with buzzfeed is not that they have any sort of media bias, but rather than they produce garbage clickbait articles that offer no value other than to stimulate our brain's dopamine reward system. They will capitalize on any topic if it's profitable, including politics. Basically Buzzfeed is like heroin, and I don't mean that in a good way.
