From an article about waiting in a long line to walk through an art installation that creates a sense of walking in the rain, where you also don't get wet.
Obviously Five Questions:
1. What if something happens back at your apartment while you are out? But you don't have that kind of apartment, do you, where things could happen, outside of the potential for break-ins and other disasters that you'd rather avoid?
2. Why stand waiting to walk, when you can walk somewhere else? Would the alternative of going for a walk seem better if it is raining or if it is not raining, considering that the installation combines walking and not walking in the rain?
3. What other ways can you walk in the rain and not walk in the rain and leave your apartment and not leave your apartment? You can watch a movie where there's walking in the rain. To replicate the experience of standing in line to walk through an installation of walking in the rain and not walking in the rain, watch the movie standing up.
4. Once you become aware of the fear of missing out, do you not immediate progress to the fear of the fear of missing out? From FOMO to FOMOphobia?
5. The "only in New York" meme is perhaps never used convincingly, but wouldn't it tend to be true that the people with the most intense FOMO would congregate in New York City, because it's got the reputation of being the place where if something were happening it would most likely be happening in there, a reputation that feeds itself (with FOMO folks)?
