omg shiny

It's when they, ooooh, concentrate on what is superficial and new rather that what is basically essential for things to actually work.
The reference is to a Bhuddist concept of the slightly manic attraction to 'shiny' things, which turn out to be useless when you get them.

Note: Bhuddists don't have god(s) in the same sense as other religions.

Red Shiner

The Red Shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis) is a North American species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are deep-bodied and laterally compressed, and can grow to about three inches in length. For most of the year, both males and females have silver sides and whitish abdomens. Males in breeding coloration, though, have iridescent pink-purple-blue sides and a red crown and fins, except the dorsal fin which remains dark.

Red shiners can live up to three years. They are omnivorous; they eat both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, as well as algae. Red shiners have also been known to eat the eggs and larvae of native fish found in locations where they have been introduced.
Red Shiner is the short version of Cyprinella Lutrensis.

iPhone Shine

Coined initially by Rebecca Felgate on the YouTube channel “Life’s Biggest Questions” in reference to the oddly missing entry in Apple’s smartphone portfolio: The iPhone 9. According to the video, the iPhone is a beauty beyond our comprehension of how phones look in this day in age, being essentially everything and nothing all at once.
I think Rebecca was right: We just aren’t ready for the beautiful iPhone Shine yet as a society.
