A couple of others I can think of:

  • Crypto-boom of 2016ish: GPUs/mining rigs
  • LLM/AI hype nowish: User generated data
  • 90’s dotcom bubble: Server space

    I wonder if all of the ones hoarding toilet paper have managed to use up their stash yet.

      I don’t know about that, but I do know I grabbed basically a lifetime supply of hand sanitizer a year or so ago because the grocery store was so overstocked they were giving them away for free, LOL.

      Nope. Still good for a few years.

      But that’s because I always buy toilet paper and paper towels at Costco, and buy more when I’m down to two cases.

      Two is one, one is none.
