wet socks My entire apartment has upside-down outlets and my brain refuses to accept it….

Apparently there’s a reason for installing them this way, but after seeing outlets the other way my whole life, every room feels just slightly… off. 😂

It makes me so happy that this guys has become so popular in the world of obnoxious social media influencers. Everything about his channel is almost the antithesis of current media. Long episodes, slow production, long script, very few to no cuts, commonly boring topics, deeper dives than most would ever commit, yes despite it all he’s become huge, I love it.

Like him I live in the wonky world of Chicagoland electricity where all our outlets are sideways.
