Yes. brother and sister 6&8 came to show me what they learned at school one day and when I saw the S I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Maybe not on their way to prom, but somewhere a dad will always be teaching their 6 year old the cool s.

Please don’t say it like that. But it’s better than last century.

Yeah one of my daughter’s friends asked me one time if we used to do such and such (can’t remember what it was now) back in the 1900s when I was a kid. I think that was the first time I felt old. And I was born in 88 lol.

Given that we're in July 2025, we're now closer to 2050 than to 2000.

I don’t know what the cool S is.

Is it the one that looks like a lightning bolt?

Yes. It's the scary, shock-you-if-you-touch-this warning symbol. Electricity present! Careful!

I don't know why I ever let my friends convince me that it would be a great ankle tattoo.

You draw two sets of three short parallel lines, then connect them up so it makes an S.

I can confidently say that 8 kids drew cool Ss today at summer camp at the instruction of their camp counselor when the next activity was delayed.

Some kids are using cool S's to supercharge their factory machines.
