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 substance released into the very molecules of oxygen you breathe when the sun goes down and the moon rises. this substance has been classified by the scientific community as a drug. it's dank as fuck too lol
people generally experience this dank ass drug late at night when they're trying to pull an all-nighter. however, it isn't the body's reaction to being tired. it's a drug.
this drug will involuntarily get into your system. it doesn't need some dumbass highschool drop out to sell it to you. mother nature sells it to you.
you're gonna get real high on this thing my guy.

since there's a big deal right now, nighttime gets boring for me nowadays.
nothing to do. just lying there in my bed with my Harry Potter books.
