Modsteading

The act of using old world homesteading techniques, modern technology, and up-cycling of discarded items to achieve greater health, and financial independence. Modsteading differs from Homesteading in that it can be practiced on a small scale, in both urban and sub-urban environments, and does not necessarily require that you own your own land.
"Did you hear that Devon is Modsteading in that old warehouse in the industrial district? Yeah. She installed solar, rainwater collection, and an aquaponic garden."

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
