    Am I the only one sad because a “serious” publication allows a headline with “meh” instead of apathetic?

      It’s in quotes, so I think they made it clear they were quoting something the young people might say.

      I don’t know if they’re right that the 18-35s use that word very often, but I think that’s what they’re going for.

        30yo here, I usually only use it to answer questions where I’m apathetic about the choices

        What are you feeling for dinner? Meh🤷

          Do 18 y/o’s actually say that though? I think the journalist might be taking into the trap of trying to be relevant to kids by saying shit we said when we were kids.

      You’re not alone, there are hundreds of Lemmy users who hold equally vocal opinions over details irrelevant to the point.
