the odyssey of scrolling through your local Facebook 'Buy Nothing' group is now longer than Homer's original epic
A new study by the University of Internet Surfing has confirmed that the average attempt to claim a free "gently used" air fryer on neighborhood social media now takes 18 years, 23 emotional breakdowns, and exactly one moment where a woman named Karen argues the correct way to load a dishwasher. Critics call it a modern-day epic of hubris, but participants insist the real tragic flaw was not clicking the "claim" button fast enough.
