The idea that governments and tech companies are pushing AI services and internet regulations to create an internet where users can be easily controlled and monitored, using fake accounts to manufacture public consent and polluting discourse that worries the powerful. This decline in organic, user-generated content is “killing” the internet. Related to dead internet theory.

aka The Downward-Value Utility Arbitrage Principle
/vee-aitch-es thee-uh-ruhm/
Definition:
A consumer hack for maximum lifestyle value on a pauper budget. The VHS Theorem states: when something’s cultural clout collapses faster than its functionality, its utility-per-dollar skyrockets. In plain English: if it still works but nobody wants it, it’s basically magic.
Mechanics:
Cultural Abandonment – everyone chases the new shiny thing.
Functional Persistence – the old stuff still works fine.
Depression Pricing – sellers panic-sell at rock-bottom prices.
Utility Extraction – you live like a sultan on a scratch-off budget.
Examples:
VHS tapes, DVDs, old game consoles, CRT TVs, secondhand instruments, cast iron, estate sale gold — basically anything that fell out of fashion but still functions.
When culture abandons it, the wise inherit it.

A TikTok user shared a 7-bean soup recipe, prompting comments like "What if I don't like beans?" and "Can I substitute beans?" Causing a “bean soup theory”

Get the Bean soup theory mug.The depth of darkness—that is, Blackness in cats and humans—is often the target of hate, treated as unlucky, dangerous, or unlovable (i.e., socially devalued or feared). This prejudice echoes, extending into other areas such as clothing, housing, or cultural expression, instead of being recognized for what it truly is: a force that cancels any pseudo-light (false, superficial, or performative forms of “goodness”). It exists as its antithesis, with heightened awareness—forcing the fool to confront a reality not of its own making and realize it stands on a lower staircase than the darkness. This reaction is not about reality, but about societal bias, superstition, delusion, and fear (the mechanisms by which perceived inferiority is projected).

Get the The Black Cat Theory mug.The Rice Cooker Theory is a modern dating metaphor comparing relationship development to cooking rice in a rice cooker. It compares uncooked rice to a relationship that hasn’t cooked because the “cook” button (intentional action) was not activated.
The Rice Cooker Theory was invented and popularized on TikTok by Filipina creator Hannah Lei in a video explaining slow-burn relationships.
She also framed it as a playful formula:
R = P × I × ΔT - α
Where:
• R = Relationship
• P = Potential (chemistry)
• I = Intentional Action (confession)
• ΔT = Change in Temperature (response/effort)
• α = Assumption (miscommunication)
Metaphor Meaning:
The theory humorously suggests that relationships require consistent effort (heating), clear communication (no "sinaing" or lid issues), and intentional actions to "cook" successfully—otherwise, they "burn" or fail.
Without intentional action, a relationship remains in a pre-cooked state—analogous to rice placed in a cooker that was never switched on. Emotional heat accumulates, but transformation does not occur.
Conclusion:
Feelings don’t cook themselves.
