The theory regarding relationships. "Someone doesn't move unless they already have a new house." Meaning that before someone moves on, they need to already have someone else ready.

Get the The House Theorymug. A theory that says reality from matter to minds to memes evolves through repeated cycles of compression. Each layer condenses the previous one, creating shortcuts, symbols, and versions of versions. Consciousness shows up when something can compress itself while modeling the world.
“TikTok shows the recursive compression theory in action: a 10-minute idea crushed into 20 seconds that spawns another remix that spawns another trend.”

Get the RECURSIVE COMPRESSION THEORYmug. The theory that (regarding any upcoming physics test) you either know it or you don't. Not to be confused with the Ridings Postulate, which states that you either know it or you don't regarding ANY test, not simply physics. Applying these ideas often results in failure.
Me - "Dude, I have a physics test tomorrow! Fuck!"
Ridings - "Same. But I'm not studying, according to my theory, the Ridings Theory - in physics, you either know it, or you don't."

Get the The Ridings Theorymug. The scientific and philosophical theory stating that at any point of its' existence- there is at least one tomato either submerged, or floating upon any of the worlds oceans.
Me: "I'd like to introduce you all to Aflo's Theory-"
Scientists: "Oh? What is it?"
Me: "It is a theory stating that at any given moment- there is at lest one tomato in the ocean."
Scientists: "-And what, pray tell, is the purpose of this theory?"
Me, now revealing the backpack of tomatoes I brought to the beach: "Gazpacho."

Get the Aflo's Theorymug. The most misunderstood theory in history.
This theory was meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but apparently a few people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for one to understand CRT, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am referring to the philosophical theory and framework written by Adorno & Horkheimer, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

Get the Critical Race Theorymug. Hym "That Islam was my favorite (in theory) and in the context of their rituals (Pilgrimage and praying 5 times a day). It's something I enjoy in a scholarly sense. Humans aren't good at being consistent (in thought or action) so you'll have to forgive me.

Get the Favorite (in theory)mug. It’s when you talking to a person a lot or like a person you end up seeing and noticing them or people of their family more and more by random chance, it originated in 1908, When Sr Mark Kleval was wandering the streets of East London when he came across a young lady and had an attraction for her and started talking to her, from that day on every time he stepped into the street for the rest of he’s life he saw a different element of this young lady, either her, her car, one of her parents or one of her close relatives, sadly he only lived for a year after that.
Damb Bro, I’m convinced I see this girl I’m taking to everywhere, it has to be the Mark Kleval Theory.
