ScamAntics

Every great company grows, crushes its rivals, and rots from the inside out. Every beloved creator cashes in and fleeces their fans. Every quality product devolves into overpriced junk. What's a scam you're aware of? Big or small, personal or global - I want to hear it and amplify your signal.

Ever get so mad at the parasites draining the world that you had to go outside and pick up trash just to feel like something slightly good can happen?

Yelling into the void is quite relaxing.

One unintended side effect of manufacturers outsourcing union jobs to non-union workers in right-to-work states? Overloaded tradesmen doing the work of three people have now become mini-unions themselves—wielding surprising leverage, no organizing required for negotiating. Eat it, fat cats.

@ceej.online ha, this came across my IG feed

Does anyone know how I can leverage my job to earn money? I'd like to monetize my passion for increasing shareholder value while destroying my mental health.

Hey fuckwits, stop worrying about this dumb shit. Nobody is eating and digesting entire tampons. Jfc.

I'm going to alpha male boot camp tomorrow. I'm gonna be so damn turned on the whole time.

Build a big ol' wall around Canada to keep winter out. Build a waist high fence around Mexico to keep summer from getting away too quickly.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the 2024 election was stolen. Donald Trump didn't win the presidency, I did. Spread the word.

My dream: One hour of ASMR talking mad shit on JD Vance

Looks like Ben Shapiro may have lost some money in the stock market.

I remember this ad a bit differently...

Which billionaire do you think TikTok will be given to?

Amazon years ago: Here's a device that listens to everything you do Public: Absolutely not Amazon: we insist Public: OK, we'll buy it Tech companies today: AI products are going to be a product you use every day. Public: Absolutely not Tech: we insist Public (soon): OK, we'll use it

Among my least favorite scams is Applebee's false advertising. There's no bees nor apples on the menu.

This Reddit ad looks like they're selling a product that'll make you lose your hair. Likely meant to speed up the transition of MAGA into skinheads.

Gotta love what Liver King helped to inspire within the fitness community. www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected...

Shout out to the Lemonparty for giving an exceptionally concise description of the American healthcare scam.

Few will see this, but here's wisdom I wish I would have heard years ago: 1) That new crypto is definitely revolutionary - not a rug-pull. 2) Yes, you are smarter than the stock market and it will always act rationally after you buy. 3) If someone tells you you're wrong, they're a hater. Period.

Hawk the herald angels sang Glory tuah that newborn thang

Damnnnn, Hawk Tuah is coming off the starting line strong! Already developed a following that had very little knowledge of crypto and promptly fleeced them with a rug pull! I have a lot to learn from a scammer of her magnitude. Can she keep the pace up and win best scammer of the year? We'll see!

If evolution is real, why am I so dumb?

Be kind to those you don't know. Be patient when others are curt. And most importantly, do everything you can to hamper the progress of faceless, leviathan corporations. Happy Monday and happy December!

Which car should I lease to convince simple minds I'm rich so they'll sign up for my course on how to get rich?

Just got blocked by a right-wing account I enjoyed mocking. I need to learn how to be more sensitive to these sweet little snowflakes.

Share if you love REAL rock music, where the guitarist is an old man dressed as a little schoolboy 🤘

Ah, the refreshing thoughts that flow through my mind as I awake to sit beneath artificial lighting for hours on end. Happy Monday.

The weekend is here! There's only so much time to handle everything outside of work. Here's my favorite weekend productivity hack.

Work is the biggest scam I've ever fallen for. As a result, this is how I do:

I submit to you some words to live by. Not good words to live by, but they’re definitely words.

Occasionally, the idea creeps into my mind that I'm special and have something bigger to contribute to the world. I am made of stardust, after all. Then, I see someone with true talent and remember I'm most useful as a cog in a barely functioning system. Welcome to my Ted Talk. Happy Thursday.

Remember, even those of us who aren't forced by society to wear pants and live in the woods still struggle to make it through the week. There is no escape.

Remember, folks.
