Food that is prepared and cooked by vendors on the streets. Some street food are awful and unsanitary, while others serve really amazing food. It really all depends on where you're from.
- If you live in a heavily populated country (e.g. China, India, Brazil) then most street food is low-grade stuff sold in -shoddy food carts by a scruffy-looking old man that you'd likely avoid. Of course there are exceptions.
- If you live in the middle-east, then you will experience some of the most authentic street food that's representative of the culture there.
- If you live elsewhere in the world, mainly first world countries, then you will love street food without a doubt. Here in Canada we have BeaverTails which sells fried dough pastries; they are seriously good. Many street food here are from food trucks, usually at a special event or carnival, and caters to the foodies. YMMV, but I love street food of any kind, even commonplace hot dog stands.
For the most part, street food is some pretty good stuff that you'd eat on rare/unique occasions.

Get the Street Food mug.Reductio Ad Absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity") is a logical argument that refutes a statement by proving that the premise would lead to a logically absurd and ridiculous conclusion.
Another great phrase to use against flat-earthers and other conspiracy nutjobs alike.

Flat-earther: THE EARTH IS FLAT!!!!
Me, an intellectual: Oh yeah, then explain how nobody has ever fallen off the edge of the earth. Reductio Ad Absurdum.

Get the Reductio Ad Absurdum mug.What "Minecraft: Bedrock Edition" used to be called for mobile devices. The PE stands for Pocket Edition, which honestly sounds like a much more applicable name than Bedrock. Thus, I will keep referring it to Pocket Edition.
Back then, Pocket Edition was basically a Lite version of Minecraft meant for on-the-go experiences. It was more for killing time (e.g. waiting for bus) than for actually getting invested in the game. Today however, the transition from PE to Bedrock Edition has basically turned the mobile game into full-fledged Minecraft (with some limitations of course).

Get the Minecraft PE mug.Contrary to popular belief, the Unabomber was more of a domestic terrorist rather than a psychopath. As with all terrorists, his motive to kill was purely ideological. He was severely critical towards technological advancement and how—in a way—technology would corrupt society. It might've seemed like an absurd and irrational critique 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, but now in 2021 where nomophobia is a real thing, the Unabomber's critique isn't that far off (just minus the terrorizing part).
If the Unabomber didn't choose the unnecessarily violent path, he would've made a great point. Many theorists have talked about the paradox of technology, where technology has freed us, but yet at the same time has enslaved us.
It is recommended to read Neil Postman's "Technopoly: the surrender of culture to technology" to understand more about this paradox.

Get the Unabomber mug.When somebody on the internet writes in a langauge (mainly non-Latin) that they absolutely know nothing about. It is either garbled nonsense or something understandable translated via Google translate, but mostly the former.

Get the Ageist mug.A very socially desirable trait to have, especially on the internet or in a ghetto. However, the importance of integrity is often way too overemphasized in places such as an elementary school. It would be great if elementary school principles could stop over-preaching the importance of integrity because no kid really gives a shit until around high school. How about upholding some other equally desirable values such as conscientiousness or impartiality.
Literally every elementary/middle school principle during an assembly: I N T E G R I T Y
