The FBI asks, “What do you do with your fellow children?”

Back in 2014, website muckrock.com The FOIA has urged the FBI to release the most hilarious and ignorant document your taxes have ever paid. capture the Of the internet heart this week. Anyone who has ever tried to understand what the kids in hell are talking about would be relevant to the FBI’s ignorant 83-page document. This includes about 2,800 examples of “shorthands and acronyms used on Twitter and other social media such as instant messaging, Facebook, and MySpace.”

I’ve seen probably a tenth of what has been used so far, and I’ve been pretty online for a long time.

However, this is not a one-sided exchange. Dr. Meanest’s colleagues teach her how to translate a normal human speech into a “professional company.”for example, “I:’How do you say this meeting is a waste of my time? I don’t have enough rewards to deal with your bullshit?” Boss:’My presence adds value Will you provide the meeting agenda to ensure that? We would like to prioritize our schedule to support our most urgent needs. “

I feel sick for online advertising professionals. They spend a lot of money on trying to create “sticky” online content where people share huge amounts of money with their entire career, but that doesn’t work very well. Then they woke up one morning and found that TikTok’s hottest viral video was saying a woman accidentally bumped into a bed frame. “Oh!”

@kateylorrel video It has been viewed more than 9 million times in the last few days. While this video is relevant and somewhat interesting (if you find people not so badly hurt), her “oh” phrase captured the imagination of the online world.It’s a very clear and musical “oh”, people just had to record a “duet” with @kateylorrel “Oh” by Bee GeesStain Alive,Nelly’s “dilemma“And Bruno Mars’s”When I was your boyfriend.. “
