FOMO

A few things:
-Fear of missing out
-Fear of missed opportunities
-Fear of maniacal overlords
-Fear of massive obliteration
I watch the news to quell my fomo, only for it to bring forth every other kind of fomo.

Fear of Missing Out

Example: Bento Box Shoppe has their fifth run of blue PM2s in stock for 18 months at $199. The day after it sells out, the internet explodes with offers of $400 or firstborn children.

“Far out, I’m really starting to get the Scomo-Fomo ! I’m starting to think he’s intentionally punishing my industry !

The Scomo-Fomo is real !“
