MEME REFERENCE

Not stonks

Use when a decision or outcome is plainly financially or strategically bad

What it expresses

The result of a choice has clear negative consequences that are obvious to the decision-maker

Example

You pay rush shipping that costs more than the item, and the group replies 'not stonks.'

When not to use it

A costly choice buys a clearly valued benefit after informed comparison; expense alone is not strategic failure.
