This turns out to have not been a particularly tricky prediction.
I for one am excited for TikTok to show me a splashy "The US GOVERNMENT HAS DESTROYED EVERYTHING YOU LOVE" screen when I open the app next week followed by Donald Trump crawling through glass to get it back because it helped get him elected thus solidifying him as a HERO OF THE EVERYDAY AMERICAN.

I have eaten
the leftover Butterfingers

Geeks: Passionately enjoy the “geek” things like Star Wars, Star Trek, D&D, video games, etc. Not sure how to categorize those things since they’re fairly mainstream/popular nowadays.
Nerds: Geeks, but good at math/science/engineering.
Dorks: Goofy little dudes. Might also be a geek and/or nerd.
