May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A religion that Smallishbeans, also known as Joel, on YouTube created. This religion originated in X Life and Joel himself made the Church of Jeremy for it.
The origin story is quite complicated, but our leader, Joel has simplified and written it in the Book of Jeremy. The origin story reads:
"The one true Jeremy contacted player Smallishbeans and told him to create the church of Jeremy.
"The one true Jeremy appreciates when people rename animals after him and wishes this to be spread across the X Life world. He promises longer lives and rumor has it that there is another life after our 10th. The Jeremy life where we live on through the body of Donkey Jeremy.
"Jeremy promises to make your lives here on the server much better and bring you some sick nasty content."
The Book of Jeremy also has 7 rules, which read:
1. If an animal has been given thy name of Jeremy, it can never be renamed.
2. No stealing.
3. You must complete the ceremony to become a follower of Jeremy.
4. You may use the name of Jeremy for your pets.
5. Everyone is allowed as we are all Jeremy.
6. Every year you must walk to Jeremyville and pet Donkey Jeremy (he gets lonely).
7. We don't talk about fight club.

a disorder characterized by a strong compulsion to display one's genitals to an unsuspecting stranger.
Police Officer: And how would you describe this man's penis?
Victim: Large, like... like the boughs of an oak tree.
Police Officer: Ma'am, the man you described has a condition known as Jeremyism which causes his unexplainable behavior. We're doing everything we can to bring this man into custody.
