From habits to trends, certain things need to be retired. A user asked the forum, “What needs to die out in 2024?” Here are the top responses.
INCREASED COST OF LIVING
“Ridiculous cost of living.”
BED BUGS
“Bedbugs. Those creatures deserve no mercy.”
LAYOFFS
“Layoffs while CEO (Chief Executive Officers) get paid 300x the average employee and still get a raise 5x the % of the average employee as well.”
SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
“Subscription services, but they won’t. They’ll keep replacing single upfront purchases. It’s a shame.”
COOKIES IN THE WEBSITES
“‘Accept all cookies’ is the only option.”
ADVERTISEMENTS
“Pumping in more and more advertisements into everything, even premium/paid monthly subscriptions/streaming. Sports are taking longer and longer due to more advertisements. More advertisements are being injected into everything.”
LYING POLITICIANS
“Politicians being able to lie with impunity.”
TUMOR CELLS
“The tumor cells in every cancer patient.”
PHONE SPEAKERS IN PUBLIC
“People who use their phone speakers in public.”
TIPPING CULTURE
“Tipping for any little thing. I got arrested last Monday; after they cuffed me, I almost forgot to tip them for their services.”
LACK OF COMMON SENSE
“The inability of people to have common sense and be kind to one another.”
FILMING EVERYTHING
“Filming everything. Filming at the gym. Playing phone speakers out loud in public. Price gouging. Rent hikes. Stagnated wages.”
INFLATION
“Inflation has been hammered into my makeup as a human being through many experiences beginning in the 1970s, proving that inflation is the average person’s greatest enemy besides health issues. There is no other thing that touches a person’s life so significantly.”
EVERYTHING BEING CROPPED
“Everything is cropped. Jesus Christ, I hate cropped things. If I find a cute shirt, it’s cropped, but a cute jacket? It’s cropped. Cute sweater? It’s cropped. I don’t care if people wear it, but it’s everywhere.”
SHRINKFLATION
“Shrinkflation. The price of goods goes up. However, they get physically smaller.”
GREED
“Greed is the main reason for many bad things currently happening on our planet.”
GENDER REVEAL PARTIES
“Gender reveal parties where they start forest fires just to announce their unborn child’s gender like seriously, just send a text to everyone saying ‘it’s a boy/girl.'”
SPORTS BETTING
“Sports betting or at least the advertisement blitz. My state has just allowed sports betting in the past couple of years. Let me tell you, I have never seen a non-substance addiction hit a state so hard. A lot of people I know are gambling people with an addiction who don’t want to admit it. It’s only getting worse, too.”
SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGES
“Social media ‘challenges’ to break the law or hurt people.”
