Imagine Being This Entitled in a Third World Country

October 9, 2026

There’s a special kind of asshole who books a one-way ticket to Thailand, spends three weeks drinking buckets of vodka on the beach, and then decides the local population should finance the rest of his spiritual awakening.

Meet the begpacker.

If you’ve spent any time traveling through Southeast Asia, you’ve probably encountered one of these people. Usually white, usually Western, usually wearing some combination of elephant pants, dreadlocks, and the vacant expression of someone who just discovered Buddhism through a YouTube video.

Good. Let the Diamond Industry Burn.

September 28, 2026

There are few things more satisfying than watching an industry that spent generations selling scarcity suddenly discover what happens when scarcity disappears.

Natural diamond prices have fallen roughly 60 percent in five years.

In March 2022, a one-carat natural diamond hit an all-time high of around $10,000. Since then, prices have cratered.

And the primary reason is beautifully simple:

We figured out how to make diamonds.

Not fake diamonds. Not cubic zirconia. Actual diamonds.

Fuck Las Vegas

September 14, 2026

Las Vegas used to have an honest arrangement with its visitors.

You came to behave badly. The city gave you a cheap room, a reasonably priced steak, a few free drinks, and the intoxicating possibility that you might go home richer than you arrived. Vegas understood that the best way to separate you from your money was to make the separation feel like fun.

That arrangement is dead.

How Romantic Movies Helped Create the “Nice Guy”

September 9, 2026

nice guys in movies

For decades, movies have taught men that getting a woman is mostly a matter of refusing to accept her first answer.

If she says she isn’t interested, keep trying. If she has a boyfriend, prove that you understand her better than he does. If she wants space, appear outside her house with music, flowers, cue cards or some enormous public declaration that makes rejecting you socially uncomfortable. Eventually, she will realize that you were the right guy all along.

If You Didn’t Post It, Did You Even Live?

September 8, 2026

There was a time when sharing good news required effort. You called someone. You met them for dinner. You trapped a coworker near the copier and made them look at four poorly developed photographs from your trip to Cancun.

Now you can inform 900 people, including your high school lab partner, a former landlord, and three women you vaguely remember from a wedding—that your toddler successfully used the toilet.

This is called progress.

The Horrifying Reality Of Contracting Rabies

November 25, 2025

rabies in humans

Let me paint you a picture.

You go camping, and at mid-day you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the “rage” stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode.

Except you’re asleep, and he’s a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don’t even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed.

How Modern Wealth Recreates Ancient Power Structures

November 19, 2025

One of the stranger tricks history plays on us is repetition. We like to think we have left certain eras behind, that we have grown beyond the old hierarchies that shaped earlier civilizations. We imagine ourselves living in a world that is enlightened, democratic, and fundamentally different from the rigid societies of the past. Yet the deeper you look, the more familiar the modern landscape begins to feel. The lords never really disappeared. They simply changed their clothes.

Inside the Hidden Industry Behind OnlyFans

October 27, 2025

People imagine OnlyFans as a woman and her phone—a bedroom, a ring light, a few messages, and a stream of adoring fans. They think it’s raw, unfiltered, spontaneous. But that’s a fantasy. OnlyFans is a factory. Every pixel, every emoji, every “good morning” is engineered to extract money from loneliness.

Whatever Happened To NFTS?

August 15, 2025

Alright, let’s talk about NFTs.

You remember NFTs, right? Those glorified digital Pokémon cards for adults who thought “owning a JPEG” was going to pay off their mortgage? Whatever happened to that whole fever dream?

Not even three years ago, you could not walk five feet on the internet without someone screaming, “This is the future of art!” or “We’re early, bro!” like they had just discovered fire and wanted to sell you a subscription to it. Suddenly, people who had never shown interest in art beyond buying a Banksy coffee table book were dropping the GDP of a small nation on pixelated monkeys wearing sunglasses.

The Dangerous Reality of Professional Bodybuilding

August 15, 2025

Alright, let’s just call it what it is—professional bodybuilding is not healthy.

I’m not saying lifting weights is bad for you. Weight training? Awesome. Eating protein? Great. Building muscle? Fantastic. But that’s not what we’re talking about when we talk about the pros. We’re talking about the freak-show level of the sport—the guys and women on stage at the Olympia looking like they were carved out of marble by a Greek god who had access to a pharmacy.
