*THIS* why isn't this #1 ?? ( also think it should read : other people staging fake lives. )

it's not a truck, it's not a car, it's not beautiful, it's not useful, it's ...... a status symbol. nothing more.

Oh, come on. It's not *all* reboots and remakes!! There are loads of sequels as well.

I don't care to watch shows of people behaving badly. I can talk to my family for that.

Trying to think of the worst example... Gwyneth Paltrow has to be pretty bad. Shaquille O'Neil has a podcast?!? Why? Daniel Radcliffe has a podcast. Kim Kardashian has one. Again, why? For me the absolute worst is Dr. Phil. His advice is BAD and his show is bad. No idea why anybody bought into this charlatan.

Yes, BP certainly worships at the altar of Taylor Swift, Beyonce et al despite our repeated downvotes

For the love of god, WHY do I want a 40oz (1.2 liter !!!) cup. Do I look like i'm traveling with a family of 17 and sharing one cup without any chance of refill ?? (yes, picture shows 30oz, but looking them up, internet promotes 40oz first)

It's the fad buy right now. Pointing out logical alternatives misses the point, because it's not logic driving the sales. It's wanting to buy status by having the right symbols.

But did you know that you can add 10 pounds of decorations for it

People are still buying these? I thought it was over and they moved onto something else.

I have one and I love it. I use it all the time. But I got it as free work swag and am judging as swag. I wouldn’t pay for one.

When I saw video of the guy jumping over the starbucks counter and stealing one I though how stupid can people be.

Those things are crazy stupid expensive now!

I got one last February and for these old hands it was worth every penny. Between my age, 59, arthritis and carpal tunnel carrying or even picking up a regular mug was hard on my hands. The Stanley is so much easier on my hands. I hope they are already out of fashion but I will keep using mine.

A recommended alternative: https://www.thermos.com.au/product_details.aspx?ProdID=2620&CatCode=HYDR

I have a Stanley, but not a cup, a dfferent one, the cups are unreasonably large. But it is very good, you pay for the quality. It will last me for ever.

Coffee on the go isn't such a big thing here..

I resisted the Stanley for a long time. Then I saw the initial story of why they blew up. A car was completely engulfed in flames. Everything inside and out was charred, except for the Stanley cup that was perfectly fine. My sister kept breaking her cups so I suggested the Stanley from the story I saw and she got one. A few days later the initial story went viral and the whole thing blew up to a trend. Not my thing, but I did get sick of my cheaper cups degrading in the dishwasher, even my Bubba cups. I borrowed her Stanley one day for my iced coffee. Finished my drink and was going to wash it the next day. A full 20 hours later and the ice was still intact. Impressive. Her cup still looks new after several months of daily use and dishwasher abuse. I got one because it will last a lifetime. No more buying cups that fall apart every couple years. I'm disabled and drop everything. This is the only cup that has never dented and not even a chip to the lid. Built like the old thermos.

At first it seemed like a "healthier" way of smoking, and potentially a way to step away from a dangerous and disgusting habit. But now we know better.

If you call yourself an influencer, I already don't like you.

Yeah you are so NOT sticking needles into my face.

I actively refuse to call it X

The smart to stupid ratio among celebrities is the same as any other demographic. Some of them make rational points grounded in facts. And some of them shoot up cases of beer.

But grandpa's white hood will go to waste otherwise...

(reads thread title) (reads post) (rereads thread title) DUDE! If you have zero interest in posting YOUR life on social media then stop posting it. Problem solved. But kudos to you for having the self confidence to think your life postings are super popular. /j "People Share 43 Things That Are Super Popular Right Now That They Have Zero Interest In"

Even worse though are, *shudder* Mullets

Making stupid people famous in general

OP has such a good point about how much the hype over generative AI has taken all the air in the room. When I started writing about advances in machine learning a few years ago the attention was on a far broader range of applications. The work is still going on ofc (from medical diagnostics to smart weapons) but the conversation is all about the chat bots and fake artists.

They found a way to monetize it, and they took it. And now it's to the point that everyone thinks they have something. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for taking care of yourself as well as your demons, but it seems to have turned into a contest/excuse with most people.

Don't go to stadiums and visit festivals/small clubs instead. Better sound, better price

Youtube suggested videos recently invited me over to the dark side. I watched a suggested video and it turned out to be a pirated children's movie. Now it keeps suggesting more and more pirated content. Movies, collections of adult cartoons like Robot Chicken, Family Guy, American Dad and so on. They seem to have some interesting techniques for at least temporarily avoiding the copyright bot.

Crypto I get but "trading"? Some version of the stock market and trading have been around forever and will continue to. Investing in stocks is a more modern approach but trading goods has likely been around since the first humans.

Look like huge caterpillars!

Sports.

I have a feeling it is going to ruin the actual story... My kids want to see it, I don't want to see how they massacre it

It's not something that would interest me but how is is different than watching sports?

Wrastlin' does it better anyways

If you mean Crocs, I agree, they really don't look pretty. However, I received Crocs as a gift some time ago and wear them around the house. They provide a secure grip and are non-slip, which is important at my age when I go down the stairs. Looks aren't everything.

I kind of enjoy "Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade Podcast" They interview SNL alumni and guests and tell backstage stories and memories. And they are kind about it.

Refusing to learn what your step kid's interests are is a good way to keep them away from you.

That depends on your taste. You either love it or hate it, very few inbetweens. And it is quiet healty (If you don't load it with sugar)

You mean unboxing or cooking ASMR?

No idea who this is

Who's that?

The gambling doesn't bother me in general, but I really don't like how the apps are being advertised.

Again how is this different than sports?

"you haven't found the right one" some people just don't like podcasts. let them be,

Ok I like whiffle tennis! That’s funny! Especially since it keeps autocorrecting to waffle tennis.

It's a Scandinavian thing

Bike shorts is what we called them when I was younger. Now I don't call them anything because I'm too fat and would never wear them. :)

Once you play one CoD you've played them all. What I don't understand are the Faze titles with the random-seeming names. Faze Rug, Faze Lamp, Faze Swamp, Faze Hula Hoop. I know it has something to do with CoD and getting the most kills or rank. Something like that. But talk about making a game rank your whole personality.

This is the only one I'll disagree with on this list so far. I enjoy anime, however I don't use it as my entire personality.

Live and let live on all spectrums. You do you, I'll do me, and we can be a big ol' happy family.

How about people guilttripping you into having them?
