Y2K was not a hoax lmao it was prevented by the concentrated efforts of the entire IT community
It says literally nothing about it being a hoax. It says it was a panic, and that's accurate
That may be true, but most of the other examples are hoaxes. It woupd be like if I said "famous crimes: murder, genocide, jaywalking". It's a false equivalence by expectation of similarity.
The Nun biting sound like the first nun had rabies and started contaminating the others nuns.
It was kinda a hoax. Not the problem itself, it did exist, but everything in 1999 was "y2k compliant". Especially things that couldn't be affected by the issue (like toasters and what have you).
It was not a hoax, but it was hoax adjacent.

There were Y2K compliant flashlights for sale
