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. I'll see you at the pearly gates, greedy folks.
2011 Edition
the shakeweight (it was a piece of trash exercise toy). As seen on tv. Guessing 2011. Maybe have been earlier.
