The English language needs a word for the rage I feel when the company that makes the pants I like discontinues them.

@evacide May I suggest -Enshittification?
English yes but I'm not sure it can be used outside Mastodon. I learned it here.
Similar to when you favorite olive oil/coffee/granola/etc. just disappears from the shelves of your favorite store?
I call that #traderjoeism
Но в русском же такие слова есть?
@evacide Switch to German and coin a word like Hosenwut (for being really, really angry about pants) That's shorter than Schadenfreude.
@evacide right ass indignation

@evacide rug pull/pants pull?
@evacide trousers? are able to do that to you?
Ooof I know what you mean... got to the point that I take a certain pair of trousers I bought years ago to a tailor and get him the fabric to make me a pair from time to time, copying said pants every time because the 'certain brand' I used to buy from decided it was too much of a hassle to keep making BigandTall sizes. Fuck them I have them tailor made now.
Unobtainiangst?
@evacide Shoes. They get worse every year, so I regret not buying in bulk when I find a winner.

@evacide
schadenjordache?
The same experience 50 years ago. They stopped making my favourite candy bar. Apparently too many liked it.
Forever Yours.
@evacide And it wouldn’t be quite as bad if companies were required by law to disclose their discontinuations months beforehand. Then at least you could stock up.
At least the pants that you already have don't vanish in front of your eyes. I mean, imagine if Google bought a pants company...
@evacide rephrase: ...when the company that makes $anyProduct i like discontinues it.
I'm meanwhile convinced that this is my secret superpower: find something i like and it gets discontinued. Looks like I'm not alone...
@evacide I know, right!? Happens all the fucking time...!
Trousore? Jeanraged?
@evacide the magic word to turn this rage into pleasure is: why?
@evacide when the product lifecycle is cut too short
@evacide never forgiving Keen for discontinuing the Hush fabric mary-janes.
never ever.
@evacide I’m sure there’s something in German.
@evacide Much easier in German: Lieblingshosenabkündigungswut.
