fake world problem

The kind of situations that are invented to add more drama to real world problems that are on the surface ridiculous when compared to even First World Problems.

"Can you believe I had to drive back home to bring my son his dress clothes for Wednesday mass at school because they don't let children wear shorts on that day? Even though they can on Sundays?"

Damn girl, that isn't even a first world problem -- it's a "fake world problem"

"So anyway, my Twitch stream went down during my peak viewing hours because the beta drivers for my graphics card apparently break the HDCP chain-of-trust, so the video capture software thought I was stealing copyrighted content from myself, and..."
"Man, every week you have one of these stories. You're like a glutton for zeroth world problems."

problem saturation

A process by which Mainstream Media addresses an issue incessantly, building up to a sense of pending doom. Of course, the problem, while worrisome, does not pose the grave threat they would like you to believe. Finally, MSM abandons coverage of the problem completely, moving on to another problem.

"Honey, why don't we hear any news about the drug cartels anymore?"

"That was last month's problem saturation, dear."
