Gen Alpha started it, but Xers, millennials and even boomers are trying so hard to capitalize on it. We had a parade in town a week and change ago and there number of city council members and other people with political clout that kept saying it and making the jiggle hands motion was cringeworthy. Local car dealerships are offering oil changes for $67.67 to capitalize on the brain rot. I’ve seen several other “deals” where pricing when from 5.99 to 6.67. There is nothing a capitalist won’t try to take advantage of, no matter how little they understand it.

I did that for my mobile hotspot. No one got it :(

You just don’t get 11 dimensional particle physics. I was actually into it up until that point. As soon as they pulled that shit, I would have quit but wanted to finish for our book club discussion.

People forget that there’s already a breakdown of the US between the country and state levels. The federal district courts divide the country into 11 districts. This effectively means there are groups of states where court precedence equates to different interpretations on the same laws.

So if something were to divide the country this map might make a good breakdown. It’s not very geographically regional, but few state borders are.
