Get the Camping Ignorancemug. The willful refusal of corporate leadership to acknowledge or adopt emerging technology, trends, or innovations. This often leads to catastrophic business failure. Most commonly found in legacy companies where senior execs are allergic to change and cling to outdated models like it’s still 1995.
Symptoms include:
- Laughing off disruptive startups
- Refusing to invest in digital transformation (including AI)
- Saying things like “This is how we’ve always done it”
- Holding 3-hour meetings to ignore 3-minute solutions
- Exaggerated paranoia about worst case outcomes trying new things.
- Refusal to invest extra money just because it might lower short term profitability and might temporarily upset investors.
- Pathetically trying to look “new and hip” by wasting money on asinine expenditures DEI and wokeness thinking customers will overlook outdated products and services. This was especially problematic 2021-2024 but still unfortunately prevalent in many corporations. This is the “Bud Light” effect.

Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix for pocket change, but their execs unfortunately had Dinosaur Ignorance. They thought they were too big to fail and they couldn’t see the asteroid of new technology about to obliterate their entire business model. Now there is just a sad empty dusty store in Oregon full of regrets.

Get the ignorant donkeymug. It means to not know so therefore you do not care. Ignorance is beautiful and keeps your innocence hence the phrase "innocence is bliss"
She was very ignorant.
She lacked the knowledge but was happy. Kind of SpongeBob, a dumb happy person.
She knew ignorance was bliss so she avoided knowing.
Do we really want to know what chicken nuggets are made of? No we want to stay ignorant.

Get the Ignorant parentmug. On May 26th, every guy or girl who has a girlfriend must ignore them the ENTIRE day, no matter what!
Josh hasn’t talked to his girlfriend all day even though she blew up his phone multiple times. Unfortunately for Josh’s girlfriend it is May 26th, which is “nation ignore your gf day”National ignore your gf day means to not talk to your gf at all the entire day of May 26th

Get the National Ignore Your GF Daymug. A mistaken belief so strongly held that the holder is prepared to fight rather than accept the truth
Karen started a fight with a coworker rather than accept the truth that vaccines save lives. It was the clearest case of militant ignorance I've ever seen.
