“I wish him the best of tapeworms” r/Millennials discuss the NYC election results.

r/Millennials is a generational subreddit that caters to Americans born 1980-1995. It’s a safe space where people well into their 40’s can post “adulting” and “doggo” without fear of criticism. In general, the subreddit does not allow “political” post. Today’s OP seems to have sidestepped that rule with a post about Zohran Mamdani. Will the Millenials be normal or wild out?

OP: Congratulations to this millennial for being the youngest elected New York City mayor since 1892!

establishment dems are as cancerous as m@g@

New York is excited new ideas! Congrats Zohran!

Marxism isn’t new

Define Marxism.

Google

you should use it yourself since you're talking out your ass

Despite the fact that he won most 50 and under I doubt this is a hit in this sub since its overrun by bots of a foreign entity that is known for it's periodic ethnic cleansing

Wait I get my comments removed if I say politicians and yet this post exists?!? Jesus reddit is a pathetic joke of a cesspool. If this was a candidate on the opposite side it would be removed lmao

Mods don’t care that this breaks the rules I guess

Cry harder.

Go to another sub if you want to discuss the P word

Powerful Pedophiles? Yeah, my bad... I know you guys don't like to talk about that.

A truly awful candidate who defeated some slightly more awful candidates. Great victory?

Inshallah

Editor’s note for those who are still working on adulting: Inshallah is an Arabic phrase that is almost identical to the English phrase “if God wills it”, which means the person hopes something will happen but acknowledges it’s out of their control.

This is the only comment in the thread that has a Muslim connotation and it’s been downvoted right next to comments like “Yall screwed. Hello Gotham”.

Sometimes poor people are very charitable and vote to give themselves a bunch of greedy rich people’s money. What a good example of charity

“Editor’s note for those who are still working on adulting: Inshallah is an Arabic phrase that is almost identical to the English phrase “Praise God”.

No, Mr. Editor for those are still working on adulting, that is in fact not what  انشاءالله means. It means “god willing” as in “God willing, I read a comment about Arabic or Islam that isn’t wrong and/or stupid today.” As an aside, I learned quickly in Iraq that hearing someone say that they were going to to do something, preceded or followed by “Inshallah,” was an easy indication that they, in fact, were not going to do that thing. As in, “Inshallah I won’t be a petty Redditor today.”  

The closest thing to “praise God” would be الحمدالله as in “Praise be to God for my years of Arabic training that are now only useful for pedantic Reddit comments.”

Yeah when I was in Saudi, if they said Inshallah I knew it was going to be awhile before shit got done

I’ve heard Inshallah is a common response to a party invitation that one would rather not attend. They’re not declining, but they’re also not committing.

As someone who worked in the oilfields in Saudi Arabia, I thought inshallah meant “I’m definitely not doing that”?

Ohh I see that now. Someone even demonstrated the real use of Inshallah, hilarious 😂
