Just a reminder that Benjamin Franklin was a teenage anon sh*tposter cosplaying as a woman.
Before lightning, bifocals, or founding a country, Benjamin Franklin was a 16 year old printer’s apprentice sneaking essays under a door at night. Signed by a fake middle aged widow named Silence Dogood.
Boston’s elites absolutely loved her. The clergy f*****g quoted her. Harvard men nodded along. It was ridiculous.
They had no idea they were being lectured by a kid punching well above his weight.
Franklin wasn’t doing it for laughs. He was doing it because if the wrong people knew who was writing, they’d ruin him, or worse.
So he hid, and kind of cross dressed on paper lol.
And it worked!
That’s the part modern critics miss when they sneer at anonymous posters online.
This isn’t new. It’s foundational American behavior. Anonymity isn’t cowardice. It’s a force multiplier. Can you not see why? Look around you. Nothing’s changed.
When power can’t find a face to punish, it has to argue with the words. And power hates that.
So when you see an anon with a sharp pen and a fake name rattling the comfortable and exposing the ridiculous, just take a second and remember:
America was effectively “midwifed” by a kid in disguise, pretending to be a widow, mocking elites, and hiding from men who wished him harm.
Different century. Same mischief. Exact same panic from authority.
The wig is digital now, but the game sure as hell hasn’t changed.
@AlphaBettaVT It depends on the VTuber.
There is a non zero amount who I would feel pity and fear.
I would feel pity and fear for whoever they marry to be clear. For the VTuber I would sincerely hope it works out.
@SandyofCthulhu More they are used to it. Unless they are holy flames it is less painful than what they go through in hell.
If the flames can even affect them, being spirits and all.
@SevStarlightVT I get where you are coming from but there have been a lot of artists who have messed up clients as well so I think the best thing is to have a clear contract before anything else.
If they agree to the contract then clear your schedule.
@SoZased Throw in some gold and platinum jewelry for good measure. Some places have a thing against bullion but they normally have a carve out for jewelry.
Also coins, they normally have a higher than metal value.
@MOTHER_v3 7 minutes is a pretty good time all things considered.
Enough time for you to kill them steal their electronics and take the safe.

I'm sorry to ask for a favour like this, but I have a very important personal request.
A close friend I met through Birmingham Children's Hospital, where my son was treated, has asked for help spreading the word about a brave little girl named Amelia.
Amelia is turning 8 on 3 March 2026. After fighting stage 4 neuroblastoma with intense chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, high-dose treatment and clinical trials, the cancer has returned and she is now receiving palliative care.
Her dream is to receive 8,000 birthday cards for her 8th birthday and break a UK record, creating a beautiful and lasting legacy full of love.
If you can send a birthday card or postcard to one of the collection points below, it would mean everything to Amelia and her family.
Collection points:
- Highfield Primary School, Beeches Rd, Rowley Regis B65 0DA
- Leasowes High School, Kent Rd, Halesowen B62 8PJ
- Artisan Espresso Bar Ltd, 168 Halesowen St, Blackheath, Rowley Regis B65 0ES
- Fairfield Inn, Fairfield Rd, Hurst Green, Halesowen B62 9JA
Even if you're far away, posting a card to one of these addresses or simply sharing this post would make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for any help you can give.
@DistantValhalla Seriously? Mint? Not project farm or that guy who does tiktok/temu/Amazon stuff or one of the handman channels?
