I am not-native englisch speaking. What does "exploding" mean in the context of a salutation?
You bump your fists together, and then spread your fingers apart as you pull your hand back, as if your fist is "exploding" outward. A few gif examples: https://gph.is/g/aK8Yww6 https://gph.is/2q6aAIV https://www.pri.org/stories/2013-02-13/gif-day-obamas-explod...
Surely it was a little less during the initial days of this pandemic, but it is all but gone now.

Yeah, not im my circles. Being old comes with quirkinesses and one of these is the _need_ to handshake. We have build relations based on it, we've made deals based on it and made up based on it. Surely it was a little less during the initial days of this pandemic, but it is all but gone now.
every time I go shopping or to the market I end up feeling like punching some old people in the face because they're not wearing masks and having chats 1 meter or less apart. meanwhile my younger siblings are struggling because they can't go to their high school or college. Fucking boomers.
I sure hope so. Maybe in less hygiene aware countries like the US, but I think countries that took the pandemic seriously will not bring it back as much.
What drove you to make such a spiteful, bigoted, nationalistic comment such as this?

Please keep nationalistic flamebait off HN. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
