noticing an uptick of “not gonna lie” in the hivemind language, seemingly a replacement for “deadass,” “on god,” and “no cap”

>“yo check this new fit”
>”that’s fire, not gonna lie” 

why the fuck would you lie about that? 

what does this even mean? 

why is our culture so enthralled with ensuring seriousness around menial matters? is everything now to be taken unserious unless otherwise immediately disclosed as such? 

>”hey bro, try this cake. it’s fire”
>”not gonna lie, that’s fire”
>”yeah i just fucking said that. did you think i was lying about the cake?!”

anyway, happy friday
