I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

Kiribati: the country that broke the map 🌍✨

This tiny island nation is massive: not in land, but in spread.

Kiribati is made up of 33 coral atolls scattered across 3.5 million km² of ocean, bigger than India! 😮🌊

Oh, and get this: Kiribati is the only country that sits in all four hemispheres — north, south, east and west! 🧭

However, to keep them all on the same time it uses  GMT +14, making it the first country in the world to ring-in the New Year.

One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone “important” was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.
