Things you are nominally or by all outward appearances a fan of that you'd be fine with disappearing forever

By percentage, most my food, clothing, even electronics purchases are from Costco, but I can't say I've ever felt joy at a Costco.

Now just realizing the murky swamp that encompasses non-fandom and addiction...

i can't think of anything! probably just bands that i was a fan of years ago that still exist. who needs them? their last 10 albums sucked! probably. i wouldn't know. i haven't listened to them for years.

i agree with ian - the internet. and it’s my career!

i thought of one! i am a fan of meat but if meat ends up coming from labs and test tubes in the future then i am good with meat going away forever. i can just eat a lot of pasta and pizza. and eggplant parmesan. and cereal. and berries. and ice cream. and peanut butter. and rice and beans. and veggie burgers.

like if the government says oh noes there is noes grass left no more meat gotta get it from a beaker now sorry! then i'll be like yeah no i'm good over here with the peanut butter.

Given a ceteris paribus choice between peanut butter and almond butter, I'm team almond butter all the way but the fact that I'll routinely get peanut butter over a few bucks price difference makes me think I'm not the fan of almond butter I think, or at least not as much a fan as I am of being a tightwad for nut butters.

i know that someday, probably within my lifetime, ilx will disappear forever, and i'll be sad about that, but at the same time i accept it. is that different? is "radical acceptance" different from "you know if there was no baseball anymore it wouldn't kill me"?

btw flipside is thing that you nominally _aren't_ a fan of that you'd be sad if they disappeared forever, i'm not gonna start that thread tho

for instance, i haven't had costco pizza in ages and probably shouldn't, but i'd be very sad if it disappeared
or, like, gluten. i avoid gluten in my diet, but i definitely would want it to exist.
