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

To take on a task and have friends or family depend on your services. Due to lack of common sense everyone gets Munsoned!
Leaving London for Liverpool in your mates car and half way being 100% sure you have left the tickets behind.
Being in the front of a train Queue and deciding to leave it for a 3 mile hike towards a storm cloud - dragging your mates into judgement day.
Organising a night out and drinking 3 bottles of wine in the space of 2 hours to be asleep and thrown out of the pub - resulting in your mates having to take you home at 1030.
