Hmmmm - so you can create a fake trend by posting about it being a thing, even though it really isn’t?

Hey BoingBoing, can I write a guest post about how dating a scrawny broken nerdy 40 something divorcee is the new hot social trend?

Asking for a friend.

THIS is the thing that pushed you over the edge? Clearly you have not been paying attention.

Those are pretty cute. I’d wear them, if they came in a more masculine color. Like chocolate, or slate.

Spreading claims from satirical articles as fact has been a thing for some time, especially when the humor gets lost in translation.

“The end of the world” is usually framed as some kind of physical failure of life support. You know the world is ending because its impossible to survive the way people usually have.

But that scenario always seemed lazy to me. What if it was much weirder than that? What if-instead of literal zombies- regular people just found it more and more difficult to make sensible decisions about everyday things? To the point where avoidable deaths and sickness becomes commonplace?

People already wear ankle scarves. They’re called “socks”.

This whole thing buries the lede: ankle scarves are a shadow banishment device!

Came here to just say “SOCKS, people, SOCKS!”

I guess you beat me to it.

(Though perhaps ankle scarves are for people who prefer the feel of sweated leather against the soles of their feet.)

I’d wear them if they smell like comfort chicken logs.
