Just learned about the #BaaderMeinhofEffect, which relies on selective attention and confirmation bias and makes you believe you're seeing something more often, even if the frequency of it hasn't actually increased.
No doubt I will see it mentioned everywhere now...

Until yesterday I'd never heard of #paczki until a request was posted on the r/HuntsvilleAlabama reddit asking for recommendations on where to find it locally.
And now this morning there's @scalzi's post about his trying it for the first time (https://whatever.scalzi.com/2023/02/22/scalzis-first-paczki/)
#BaaderMeinhofEffect much?
Now I have to go find some paczki!
Arrghh!! And Reddit is poopin' the bed right now so I can't see the recommendations!
