obsoletism
Sometimes I like to contemplate obsoletism in America. What I mean is, something (such as a custom or a word) that is obsolete. Why do I think about this? I don’t know, ask my therapist.
So I present to you a list of 30 things I find useless for no reason at all:
letter openers
1a) why do we even still get mail at all?
1b) besides amazon of course
staples & staplers
flower vases
an overwhelming amount of hair products sitting on your bathroom counter
leather (especially in the use of cars. think about it, we don’t need it)
sprinklers wasting water on lawns
hardback books
Word documents (we have google docs now)
the fact that we import grass (what’s up with that?)
printers (we use too much paper. what do you need to print, anyways?)
blogs are pretty obsolete. lol
dvds
Starbucks. there. I said it.
feeling sorry for oneself
cigarettes
1a) cigarette breaks especially
ballrooms
the fact that we have to “move on” from grief. literally, why?
plastic water bottles
diamonds (we literally don’t need to wear diamonds as jewelry. say what you will)
cubicles
cuticles, too
cassettes
fireworks
the fact that we put preservatives in our food and it’s slowly killing us
horoscopes
disease (shouldn’t we be more evolved by now? just sayin)
signs that say “live, laugh, love”
“bad luck” (i don’t believe in bad luck)
bras (i don’t believe in bras)
the cotton fluff you have to pull out of a pill bottle after opening it
anyways, that’s it.
-memento mori
