      On one hand, I don’t want to believe any 8 year old has a phone and has that colorful of language.

      On the other hand, “chuck e cheese will eat you man” with a tenor gif of chuck e cheese is 100% a statement an 8 year old would come up with

        Unfortunately my parenting has resulted in an 8-year-old that has both a phone and a vocabulary like that. To be fair, he’s autistic and we use the phone as a homing device so he can play in the neighborhood more independently.

          Whatever on the language man. My kid is 8 too, and a very welcoming and accepting boy, so the few autistic sailors in his grade flock to him.

          Also, kid has good spelling and text-grammar for his age.

        Hahaha my niece is younger than that and speaks like a sailor, there are more important things in life than to patrol colorful language of children used within the context of trolling scammers

          I mean, that wouldn’t bother me as long as they aren’t getting in trouble for it. Our schools around here are very, very strict on language, and I don’t even understand why. I went to these schools too lol.

        Wut. I screenshot the text exchange myself. He could have copied the phrase from somewhere, like YouTube, but a quick search did not generate a meme or gif. A family member posted it in another community a few weeks ago, so you could have seen it there.

            Same. Thought I saw Chuck E Cheese threatening to eat people on Lemmy before, but I’m pretty baked rn.

            Edit: Oh, that’s a thing

            Terrifying Chuck E Cheese pic on the site "Know your meme" stating he will eat your soul.

            Edit, Edit: OP said another family member posted it, so I am totally fine to keep smoking all the weed and not worry about the state of my mind 😀
