Just like in the reals

Used as an alternative to "just like in real life / in the real world". Currently used by out-of-touch marketing executives and aging, formerly-trendy people desperately clinging to the last shreds of relatability with maturing zoomers, attempting to prove they are still trendy and "with it".

Inverse of the phrase "Just like in the simulations."

1: "If you spend money on this product or service, you'll have an edge on your competition- just like in the reals."
2: "Shut up, grandma. Go get your AARP card, you old fat bitch."
1: "I'm only 37. Stop being so toxic, you sexist, body-shaming incel!"
2: "Are you so elderly and out-of-touch you're unable to 'internalize' how blatantly artificial you sound to other people?"
1: *Spends a full 60 minutes angrily ranting on Twitter*

This is just like 1984!

A neologism where someone ironically/apolitically compares a situation to George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" or an intentionally irrelevant/made-up piece of media, in order to mock people who compare modern-day censorship to the novel.

Gamer: Hey dude, do wanna play some video games?
Nerd: But, we have an exam tomorrow.
Gamer: Fuck! This is just like 1984!
Nerd: What you've just said is debatable! Just like when you think we live in a society!
