So you got really bored huh. You've done all the ways you could possibly type out qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm and you've typed out all of the numbers in every way possible.

You found it.
Out of complete boredom, on your ass with your homework that's due tomorrow, you found this.
You absolute lowlife.

"Jimmy where is your homework!?"

Shifted off

Shifted off ; is when you fuck up or ruin the climax of your master plan.

I so totally shifted off when ineeded a screenshot with the time and drop down, I was so excited, I was three finger swiping to fast, so the screenshot command didn't recognize/register.

The Great Shift

Usually referring to the positive change in public opinion on watching or enjoying anime as a whole. It’s debated on when exactly The Great Shift occurred, but it can most closely be linked to the 2020 lockdown, and the release of mega popular shows around that time, such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.

Person 1: “Hey man, do you watch anime?”
Person 2: “I watched anime before The Great Shift, I used to be a loser, but it’s cool now.”
