A comment reading only 'type shi' under a video of a cat sitting in a box, in 2025. The record agrees, but would like to know with what.
Type Shi
'Type shit' — the phrase of agreement or emphasis, 'on some real type shit', shortened to 'type shi' in comments and captions and repeated by Gen Alpha as an all-purpose 'exactly' by 2025. The record's entry for the two words that mean 'yes' and were never meant to be typed by a ten-year-old.

The record notes 'type shi' follows a claim the way a nod does, and that it is now used by children who have never said the second word in full and think it ends in a vowel.

I saved a screenshot of the first Type Shi post I saw. Looking at it now, the joke is entirely in the timing. The timing does not survive the screenshot.
