I have a somewhat warped sense of humor or things that are interesting to me.
Here is Florida, anytime a hurricane appears to be coming near where I live, I am always amazed at the people freaking out, grocery stores running out of water, gas stations running out of fuel, etc.
The latest was hurricane Ian, where I live was not in the path of the storm, but I watched people buying multiple bottles of LP Gas for their stoves, water, etc...
The same thing happened with Covid, people literally went crazy, it as a real learning experience of watching people collectively lose their minds.
If we get a transportation super storm, it will be interesting to watch the panic and how people react.
During the Great Recession I started using coupons and frequenting a website called:
How to Shop for Free
They promoted buying things when they were on sale and adding a coupon to them to reduce the price even further. Sometimes, you literally could buy things for free. I even bought coupons on EBAY. At one point I had 6 cases of Marcal Paper towels and toilet paper. I had multiple tubes of Colgate toothpaste and a year supply of deodorant.
I may start to do this again to some extent.
