The number of times I’ve watched Twins and that…didn’t, at all, stick out to me…

Pair it with Ferngully for a 90s-environmentalism double-feature.

Is The Brave Little Toaster that unknown? I know it’s no Disney film or Anastasia but I thought it was more beloved (and known) than all the others listed here.

If I remember correctly, I think the reason is that it wasn’t originally meant to be a children’s movie but for adults.

I mean, you always see this around new technology/fads, all the time. When it’s new or ongoing, there’s either an excitement at the novelty or being in the minority of people doing it; people see the chance to do some of the things that fix limitations of the current process and there’s always those willing to try that out.
For a day that’s already compounded with expectation and often hyped as a sort of zenith in one’s life, it’s easy to see being able to customize things exactly to the way you’re having them play out in your head as really alluring.
And, once the hype dies down or we get used to the novel aspects, all the things you mentioned with get greater focus in the general attention, again, and people will likely value those things more (because, ultimately, you’re not wrong).
But I do feel like this is a pretty consistent phenomenon with almost any trend and you always see an uptick of adopters because the ability to solve some pain points is novel.

We were out of spinach (admittedly, I hate lettuce so I usually use spinach, instead) so I subbed in kale for my lunch sandwich, one time. I thought it worked alright, though.

Now knowing the context, it’s so…Musk-like.
Oh, they won’t realize what in doing if I pretend it’s symbolizing my heart going out towards the crowd…

In the pre-Trump world, none. In this administration, I think it’ll barely even register.
