Social investing, a practice embraced by many, carries inherent risks—especially for individuals lacking financial education. The allure of quick gains can lead to perilous outcomes when investors heed misguided recommendations and invest in assets such as meme stocks, penny stocks, or cryptocurrencies like GameStop, AMC, or Bitcoin, right before a market sell-off. This scenario underscores the importance of conducting thorough research and exercising caution when navigating the dynamic world of social investing.

Jason: Did you make money on it?
Bob: Nah man, the company went bankrupt and got delisted! I lost all my money!
Jason: You need to be more responsible with your money!

Get the Social Media mug.A pun on Social Pariah, it's a more fitting term for a very social but toxic and even aggressive person. A bully. Think lawyers, politicians, and Hollywood producers.
Unless children are gently disciplined and educated by their parents, they will become social piranhas as adults.

Get the Social Discomfort mug.The worst social experiment is what people did with animals, turning them from wild and natural to domesticated and obedient. At least other human beings deserve to suffer at the hands of other human beings when humans do the same thing to other humans(including black people), because humans are not innocent like animals. That is why all humans are a part of the problem (including black people).
No other animal besides humans would try something like a social experiment. Humans put a lot of effort into being the worst, so they deserve to be called the worst species to ever exist. Perhaps the coronavirus will lead to our extinction, would that be bad for the rest of the planet?
