inconsequentialities
Things without impact
Inconsequentialities are things that don't matter—trivial details, minor points, matters of no real importance.
The word is deliberately cumbersome, often used with ironic self-awareness about spending time on things that don't deserve it: We spent the whole meeting debating inconsequentialities while the actual crisis went unaddressed.
