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

something that is compleatly useless in life. teachers make this up so they can fail you, make your life miserable, and so you can learn pointless crap like how fast radishes grow, and which hamster finds the cheese faster. (i did these two 7 & 8th grade year) its awful. mean. and horrible. you fail every other class b.c. you have to write up a 10 pg. report on what you did, make a science board, and a 50 slide power point. AND have 3 judges come around and grade this. no one will ever use any of this. pointless.mean.unintelligent. makes the science teacher feel better about how dumb he really is.

no clue why its called Science Fair. fairs are fun. science fair is NOT fun.
TEACHER: class! we have a special treat today! we're going to do SCIENCE FAIR!!!!!!! *smiles huge*
CLASS: awwww nooo this sucksss
TEACHER: it will be fun. now you have to do *explains LONG list of "fun" things you get to, not have to, but GET TO do.

Something torturing but teachers always view it as a fun activity, and exhausted to tempt their students to do it.
However, when you are assigned to do a science fair, it allows you to surf the Internet to your heart’s content, though it's not always for your work.
Teacher: Well, it seems that you guys considered this amount of HW is too much, how about doing a science fair?
Students: Nooooooooo!
Teacher: But your whole HW will be exempted if you guys do it. Want to give it a try? (smile)
Students (shouting in mind): Noway! Apparently you know nothing about the goddamn science fair......Do your research!
