All time since September 1993. One of the seasonal rhythms of the Usenet used to be the annual September influx of clueless newbies who, lacking any sense of netiquette, made a general nuisance of themselves. This coincided with people starting college, getting their first internet accounts, and plunging in without bothering to learn what was acceptable. These relatively small drafts of newbies could be assimilated within a few months. But in September 1993, AOL users became able to post to Usenet, nearly overwhelming the old-timers' capacity to acculturate them; to those who nostalgically recall the period before, this triggered an inexorable decline in the quality of discussions on newsgroups. Syn. eternal September. See also AOL!.
I was in conspiracy when we were all getting banned. I never share links from here, and during the blackout I was mean with telling them I didn't want them here.
I know; it's bullshit that the best ski month (IMO) is all spring break. It's not even little kids that are the problem. College students will annoy old folks wherever they go, and they don't bring their parents.
Reminder that eating tide pods was a thing entirely made up by Lefties who looked at the pretty colors and thought "children must be stupid enough to eat this" and then made it into a self fulfilling prophecy where it got talked about so much that a bunch of people did it for Social Media points.
So no, I think the true retardation is always here and is coming from adults who are terminally online. The holidays just makes them seethe more because no one should get to be happy if they aren't.
Not that I notice. That might have been a thing when internet communities were more atomised and organic, so young newcomers and discordant participants were easier to spot, but the net has been re-engineered along principles that break apart online communities and centralise everything for at least 10 years now. I don't know how you would notice.
If anything, a teen or zoomie driven by innocent curiosity and the goofy impulse to post dumb shit is far more tolerable than the average adult riding the latest currentthing social media narrative. The latter post just as dumb shit but do it while driven by ideological malice. By far the most annoying people on the net are 35-45 yo libshits stuck in the internet of 20 years ago, who never spared a thought for the real reasons OWS ended, still seething at the irrelevance that is Fox News, all still good feminist allies, who still think Rage Against The Machine is edgy and rebellious, and distract themselves from their arrested development by living out their good vs evil fantasies online. And they are EVERYWHERE, 24/7/365.
From personal experience, I notice retardation increases in the winter season. Maybe the cold weather where I live fucks with people's heads, but it's noticeable.
One good example is through commuting to work. There's nary a snowflake on the ground, but god people seem to have their brains shut off, can't stay in their lanes, or they think they're driving in snow. Granted, there are retards on the road year round, but it feels like it increases in winter.
Eternal September:

I attempt to take all my vacations when children are locked down.
Unfortunately, all of March is break for some school or another.

Most of the retardation is coming from Fagstorm.
Kids eating Tide Pods was always a retarded fake meme that guys on our side went absolutely berserk over for a few weeks.
Tradition. It's a known issue.
Idk, I don't see a lot of zoomer (alphaer?) Humor or slang around here...
You're just too much of a square to pick up on it, jive turkey.

Whenever I talk to my IRL shitlib friends from college and politics comes up it's like opening a time capsule from 2004.
Totally, glad I'm not the only one who feels trapped in a time warp when exposed to these idiots.
