vainscrolling

To scroll through social media feeds out of nothing but internalized habit.
This act doesn’t provide any productive value whatsoever and all the items on one’s feeds simply elicit canned laughs or anger.

A direct descendant of “doomscrolling”.

A: Are you just vainscrolling? Go do something productive with your life for once, faggot.
B: It’s hard not to. You don’t understand. My brain is so normalized to this ritual it’s hard to go against it.
A: Cope.

As a nigerian

Used at the end of a statement to refer to the speaker claiming that he is experienced in the what he is saying and the statement is a sincere advice from an expert.

It stemmed from 4chan's /g/ around late June-early July 2021 where some guy kept spamming "As a nigerian bvll, allow me to grant you sage advice" before offering an honest opinion on the concerning topic. After a while, it changed to simply "as a nigerian" and it stuck.

OP: How can I get started on programming?
Typical Oldfag:
Don't. Fuck off and pursue other STEM fields. The tech industry is so saturated with untalented coders/programmers already. If you don't have a passion to code in the first place, programming will never cease to be hell you for you.
