I know this is Reddit but I think some teachers actually heard their students legit say "Chat, is this real?" Or something like that when they were either talking to themselves or have it be a different way to say "What the source, bro?"

I saw some guy (etymology nerd?) talking about how “chat” might be possible to consider as a fourth-person pronoun. Not me, not you, not that guy over there, but the disembodied Greek chorus surveying our experiences

u/Dear_Document_5461 2d ago
So like... the actual narrator in a story or the actual Greek Chorus but made modern?

u/phantomtwitterthread 2d ago
Yeah. Kids do address the chat, but I think they are really jsut addressing the other students in the room

u/Dear_Document_5461 2d ago
I was kinda implying the second thing with the "What the source, bro?". I should have been more clear about that but it was supposed to be a "Hey other people, is this actually true or not?"

u/phantomtwitterthread 2d ago
I have three friends currently working as teachers , they have heard kids say this , 6 7 , etc

So adressing the chat in an actual stream is second person, but when it is not present you are talking to the abstract presence of it? I would love to recognise a fourth person, this kind of thing makes my brain happy.

Literally how it use to be for me when I was younger lol. I use to be ranked top 300 in the world in older cod titles always dropped 100+ kill games but anytime I tried playing competitive people played like their lively hood depended on it.

u/St3phn0 2d ago
Ah, same for me,, 10 years ago I was into Mobile Legends, and was really sweaty in ranked,anaged to classify top 3 Italian player as a Lolita user, then time passed, switched to lol, and can't even find the will to tryhard in ranked like I used to

Tbf, to other people you were the one playing like your lively hood depended on it

Why yes, watching thousands of hours of let's plays has poisoned my ability to enjoy videogames like a normal person, how did you know?
Seriously I have been called out and I am hurt.

Tbf, Mimi has that kind of entertaining personality (she is batshit insane) that she wouldn't even need to turn on facecam to become successful

u/Dear_Document_5461 2d ago
I could see some of the things she says or do become clip memes and might even become "chat lingo" or actual memes. Look at Hololive and some of the memes they made by being themselves. Like the "Doom?! DOOM?!?!?" or "Fire in water?! Why?!" Or "I die. Thank you forever." Or however that last one actually went.

My headcanon is that she has a screeching/shrieking voice that causes one physical pain to hear.
Her schtick is she seems cute until she opens her mouth. Makes sense that it should cause as many forms of damage as possible.
9
u/laurel_laureate 1d ago
My headcanon is the opposite, kinda.
I like to think Mimi has an absolutely sultry, smokey voice- the kind that sends shivers down your spine when you hear it.
Which is why you suffer additional Psychic Damage once you realize just how utterly gooner brainrotted 99.9% of what she says is.

u/Misha_Vozduh 1d ago
Would be pretty ironic if she was a vtuber but her character is less stacked than she is irl.

u/IrlResponsibility811 2d ago
She would use a filter to put Jim's face over them. More likely, duct tape Jim to her chest to cover them.

I admire her self confidence. I couldn't have pretended to be on camera like that.

u/3MetricTonsOfSass 2d ago
A fan of OXBox once told them that they would emulate their Hitman 3 ways to play episodes, as in talking out loud to themselves, as an exercise for their extreme shyness.

I am most certainly preparing myself for the time when I will become a very successful streamer, so it's all in the name of practice, you know

When I work on some woodworking projects, or car projects, I'll in my head narrate what I'm doing as if I was teaching someone. Keeps me way more efficient and on task

u/BionicBruv 2d ago
Me: CHAT….chat…I am DESTROYING this team!! I’m a GOD at this game. Do you see this shit?!
Meanwhile: Not streaming; Playing Backyard Baseball 2001

How many times have I pretended in my head that I am some celebrity on a talk show giving my opinions/explanations?
About as often as I do this.
Which is often.

Oh god.. my daughter will sit in her room and record herself doing things like kandi beads or painting her nails or playing a game as though she's vlogging. It's so cute lol.

I saw a very scary tiktok recently where a teacher was saying that her students are so brainfucked by the internet that a lot of them are going around narrating their life as if they were streaming, even when they arent even talking to anyone, using the same types of phrases and affected personalities as streamers, when they are really just existing at school. The same thing happens when she can actually get them to write anything. We are so cooked.

This reminds me of the time i went to tescoes and the girl behind the counter said “chat do we want a bag with that?” And then her eyes went wide as she realised what she said and it was interesting to watch a mortifying memory set up happen to be recalled years later.

This is so me. I have a podcast voice, and been told by random people online that I sound like a twitch streamer, but I really don’t like the streamer culture so I avoid it 🤣

Well, this just makes me sad, like the one where she asks chat if she’s cooked because rent is due, but it’s just an empty room

I also do this because I don't have anyone to play with and my setup is too terrible to record my screen.

So unironically I know of several kids that do this. Did we accidentally break social development?

u/lolerkid2000 2d ago
No kids watch streamers and like to play pretend. This would be proper development for a child.

I can relate to Mimi here. There are times I give my thoughts on a show or subject, or game out loud even though I dont have a camera or mic on. It just helps you vent and get it all out your system. And makes good practice.
