Psychogenic epidemics

And how do we know you aren't conflating psychogenic epidemic with cultural fad for the purpose of perpetuating your own partisan hackery?

Hym "Appeal to authority Jordan. You're appealing to your own authority and vaguely citing studies regarding psychogenic epidemics but that doesn't mean transgenderism IS that."

Jordan "But I'm familiar with a study though! And muh authority! And the asterisk at the end of everythIng I say is literally just a qualifing statement where I just assert that what I'm saying is 'obviously correct' and then sycophants on the internet reinforce it with inane sophistry and gaslight their audiences into believing me!"

Recess Wedding Epidemics

Recess Wedding Epidemics are when two popular kids in 2nd - 5th grade have a recess wedding (see recess wedding) and magically, everyone else has one too. Recess wedding epidemics can last from a week to the end of the school year. They usually can't be stopped easily by teachers, but it's possible. When they can't be stopped, it's either because:
1. The same kids (or different ones) who started it had another recess wedding.
2. The other kids look up to their Kid Couple of the Week, and therefore it doesn't stop until the recess relationship stops.
3. Kids have ✨hidden✨ recess weddings and it looks like it stopped for a bit until some dumb kids don't get the memo and suddenly even the bathroom floor germs know about Little Jimmy's recess wedding and it usually stops there.

Kid 1: Hey, did you hear? Jessica and Tommy started a recess wedding epidemic. Man, i hate them.
Kid 2: I dunno, Tommy helped me hold hands with Susie, so we might have a recess wedding.
Kid 1: Not you too! Frick recess wedding epidemics.
