New data: 51.3% of ecommerce purchases are unnecessary, 16.9% rubbish, 13.9% embarrassing, 11.4% stupid, only 6.5% life enchancing.

Looking now for more faded or bust Internet phenomena to memorialise in high-quality merch.
In which I try, after 25 years of blogging, to drop my ironic stance a bit.
