First World Guilt

Describes the situation in which one is about to throw some shit away then imagines a kid in Africa in a predicament of exaggerated poverty: dirt huts and all, causing said person to think twice about throwing that shit away.

Guy 1 stares at his somewhat empty plate of food. He’s full. The amount of food that’s left isn’t really enough to justify saving it for later, but it’s still enough for one to consider continue finishing it.

Guy 1 just decides to get up from the dinner table and throw it away. As he walks over to the trash can and opens it, he pauses. Guy 2 notices.

Guy 2: “You good?”
Guy 1: “Just.. feeling that first world guilt”
Guy 2: “Dude you’re a bitch.”

podcast guilt

noun
That nagging, low-level anxiety caused by an ever-growing list of unlistened podcast episodes. Often accompanied by FOMO, the feeling that you’re “falling behind” on important conversations, and the urge to binge-listen at 1.5× speed just to chip away at the backlog. Common symptoms include doom-scrolling your podcast app, sporadic end-of-year purges, and occasionally declaring “podcast bankruptcy” (marking everything as played without listening).

“I’ve got 47 unplayed episodes of JRE alone—podcast guilt is hitting hard this New Year’s Eve.”
