Don Quijote phenomenon

Named after a Japanese retail store known for its jingle titled "Miracle Shopping", this slang term refers to retail stores like Yodobashi Camera or Bic Camera using jingles to entice consumers, encouraging them to spend more money there. Please note that the "Don Quijote phenomenon", while uncommon in the West, is also commonly shown in Indonesia where retail stores like Giant, Indomaret, and Alfamart also have their own jingles.
Every time I hear the jingle from the retailer store where the "Don Quijote phenomenon" occurs, I end up buying things I didn't even know I needed!

A peculiar occurrence where schoolgirls born in the early 21st century, who still wear school uniform on Tuesday April 2nd 2024 (the last Tuesday, April 2nd to coincide with the fasting month of Ramadan so far), will be unable to witness the next Tuesday, April 2nd to coincide with Ramadan until April 2nd, 2120 — which is beyond their maximum lifespans. This phenomenon highlights the absurdity of time and generational experiences, emphasizing the fleeting nature of significant moments in life and the irony of missed opportunities.
I can't believe it's already 2024! The Tuesday, April 2nd phenomenon means those schoolgirls in their uniforms won't see another Ramadan on Tuesday, April 2nd until 2120—talk about missing out on a rare moment!

Phenopalis

Well, it’s basically a sugar daddy. It’s a guy who will give you anything you ever wanted, but you’re not obligated to sleep with him. So essentially you’d be a kept woman without really being ’kept’."
So here’s what my friend and I decided last night. We are going to post an ad on Craigslist for a Phenopalis (or two).
