Don't believe it until you see it, and then see it twice.


===2021===
programming edition:the fad for the gullible this month is Rust.  
Why should you use Rust? "Because it's super secure." What software
currently uses Rust? "Nothing."

===2020=== 
today the fad for the gullible is: taking a vaccine. People think taking 
a vaccine is going to make them safe. They believe fervently in it. 

weighted blankets: (can't you just get this from having multiple blankets...?)
EDIT: having enough blankets that they feel heavy is OK. Buying a blanket with
weight in it, is for fools.

today the fad is: sleeping in hammocks. someone says its revolutionary. 
sleeping in a bed isn't good enough? it seems to work for most people. I
can't remember a time I ever thought a hammock was comfortable enough
to sleep in, although the swinging sensation is disorienting and fun.

===2018===
Air fryer: (It's really just a convection oven. Air fryer is a buzzword).


today the fad is: My pillow. There always seems to be some 'As seen on tv' piece of trash that enraptures the gullible
public.

===2013 Edition===
today the fad is: bitcoin. Apparently, some people think they beat the 
game of life by investing in imaginary money. Nope. Life can't be beat 
that easily. Try again. No free lunch.
