Friday

both with my own kids, their friends, as well as my nieces and nephews.

Lots of stupid videos on trends and commentary. Related, also no sign of anyone discussing (let alone embracing) 'chinamaxxing', or other recent supposedly viral trends with teens. Those I know have a lot less social media presence than the folks I know in their 20-40s. The big thing is discord text / voice chats with their friends.
