Five ideas whose time has not come no matter how much is claimed to the contrary

1. Personal watermelons, I'm against them. Watermelons started as small fruits generally, they were bred into being the giant monstrosities that can last a family of four a solid month today. They are red and sweet and no one's complaining but the size has started becoming a problem for many (see: previous post) so folks have started breeding 'personal' sized watermelon with thin skin and more concentrated flavor. Here's my problem with those: they waste more pith per unit fruit, cost like a gazillion times more, and are just so...stupid... you could just cut the watermelon and store them safely in a storage box in your fridge, you know? It's no rocket science though unfortunately a significant ratio of the American  populace may be unable to tell the difference.
   
   
2. The concept of 'normalizing' or 'cancelling' things, it's like trying to make 'fetch' happen in mean girls, not gunna happen if you harp on about it. Also 'cancel' is such a stupid word because when has a group of people ever gotten together who are not tv executives and proclaimed a cancellation of a certain trend or piece of modern culture. It's just the theatrics. If there were something that should be cancelled it'd be this attitude.
   
   
3. I know i know I've complained enough about twitter already but everyone's been getting on the tweeterworld recently particularly from Nepal. So, twitter Still think it's a dangerous echo chamber whose major purpose is intellectual masturbation and a place to rile yourself and everyone up until you're frothed up with anger.
   
   
4. Tiktok. The world's into it, i'm not. It's alright, while I'm so glad all the insta crowd has moved on to better things and facebook is crapping all over this due to fear, it's not really for me, and there's not much besides celeb gossip and lame memes in there. Which fair enough could be said about the internet too but this is a distillation of the least interesting parts of the internet and the most addictive.
   
   
5. Canada goose. Both. The expensive jackets that cost more than what my third car will cost, and the birds whose feather are used to make the jackets. The birds are angry aggressive arctic-residing assholes. And honestly so are the wearers of the jackets.
