      I know in print journalism, you will certainly start noticing trending words go viral through the journalism community. Like the word “slammed” showing up in headlines repeatedly. Or the word “tony” to describe something ritzy/expensive that was trending a couple of years ago.

        Did anyone else notice a reporting trend years ago where everyone was “tapping” everyone? They used it to mean a newly elected/appointed person recruited or perhaps sometimes consulted someone else, but it was around the time the term was also hot in pop culture where, of course, it means something entirely different.

      It’s actually the simulation. It’s not coincidence, it’s not that we just noticed that thing and it’s everywhere. It’s the simulation running out of ram.
