Joking aside; I work in a warehouse. I'm closer to 30K a day.

Yeah I started gaining weight when I got my forklift certs. Same eating habits but 20k steps less per day. Now I work in an office so 10k a day is unattainable unless I actively make time to walk in my day.

I kinda envy you is what I mean.

If you take your watch off then it can only be because you're fucking. The algorithm knows.

What am I missing here? Why "not my family?" Did they mean like "oh no, not my family! How embarrassing for them to see!" It just reads really strange.

It's a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It's kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place.

For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say "not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop."

It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.

Ahhhh thanks for the explanation!

I like your ice cream example, but I'm going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

Goddamn it I'm "only" 37 and I don't understand English anymore lmao

Don't worry. I'm 25 and neither do I.

I'm convinced we've hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I'm elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.

I'm a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.

It's a variant of the sarcastic "that couldn't be me"

e.g.: "Goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before the final exam? That couldn't be me /s." -> "Not me goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before"

They put their watches in "wrestling mode" then their parents get notified of when they stopped "wrestling"

Not is the correct word.

Tell me you're old and out of touch without telling me you're old and out of touch.

If it's not their family getting the notifications then who is?

How are they going to someone else, And how do we have a picture of it?

This is so confusing

It's slang grammar. The family are getting the notifications.

The "not" just shows that it is embarrassing for oop (see also the crying emoji).

Imagine oop covering their face with their hands and saying "oh no! Not this! Not my family getting these notifications!"

Why does Richard always finish working out 10 minutes earlier than his girlfriend?
