Jakarta is so emotionally draining.

Everyone here looks so "hectic" and "busy", but no actual work gets done.

We're all just miserably stuck in traffic, wishing we were in Bandung, Singapore, or Japan.

A Japanese TV crew filmed a 24 year old software engineer named Kimura Futo as a national role model for surviving on the average salary of 30 thousand dollars a year. They followed him home. Tiny apartment. He told the camera his comfortable room temperature is 29 degrees because the air conditioner costs too much.

The clip pulled 3 million views in 48 hours. Every Japanese viewer in their twenties shared it as proof you can live well on a small salary. Every Japanese parent shared it as proof their kid was doing fine.

Then someone in the comments wrote: pause the video at 1:16.

Pause at 1:16. Ignore his face. Ignore the bowl. Look at the laptop screen behind the bottle of soy sauce.

That tab is not his bank account. That is a live wallet.

He told the TV crew he survives on 30 thousand dollars a year. The wallet on his desk had made $868K in 4 months. 28,620 positions. All BTC. All 15 minute windows. All green.

The comment section turned into a detective board. Someone slowed the video to 0.5x. Screenshotted every frame where the laptop was visible. Stitched them together. Reconstructed the full wallet page from 4 seconds of background footage.

Entry prices between 2 and 10 cents. Payouts in the thousands. Not one red row in 28,620 entries.

Biggest single win: $4,696. From a 15 minute window on a Tuesday morning.

The 29 degrees was not because the air conditioner costs too much. The 29 degrees was so the TV crew would believe him. He runs the air conditioner full blast every other day. He just turned it off the morning the camera came over.

The bowl on the floor was not dinner. The dinner was upstairs. He bought the bowl from the convenience store an hour before filming.

The shoes with holes were one specific pair he kept under the bed for moments like this. The rest of the closet was full.

He was not a role model for surviving on 30 thousand dollars a year. He was a role model for hiding $868K from a TV crew that wanted a feel good story about poor young engineers.

The original segment got 3 million views. The zoom on the laptop got another 1.5 million.

The Japanese audience is still sharing the clip. Still proud. Still saving on air conditioning. Still believing.

He is still trading. The agent is still running. The bowl is back on the convenience store shelf.

The country with the better TV story has the smaller wallet. The man with the smaller story has the bigger wallet. He just had to pretend to be poor for one afternoon.

Gak akan sampe menutup kolam, karena aku akan bantuin beresin dan bersihin rumah termasuk kolam…

[VIolet pindah ke @chiwby @chiwbyx]

ada 1 pertanyaan khusus buat aku seleksi potential partner, yaitu:
“Di sebuah kolam, lumut tumbuh dua kali lipat setiap hari. Di hari ke-6, lumutnya sudah menutupi setengah kolam. Kira-kira di hari ke berapa lumut itu menutupi seluruh kolam?”

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology.

Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested.
Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel.
Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.

Menarik juga ini, nangka jadi tanaman invasif di Brasil.

Buahnya gak laku dijual oleh warga lokal. Lalu dimakan mamalia di sana → bikin monyet & koati jadi berkembang biak secara cepat, mereka makan telur burung → burung lokal punah.

Sama kayak ikan sapu-sapu di Indo. Asalnya dari Amazon, dibawa sebagai ikan hias, dilepas ke sungai → gak ada predator dan makan telur ikan lokal, sekarang mendominasi, geser ikan lokal, & rusak ekosistem.

Andai nangka di Indo, udah habis tuh buahnya dimakan atau dimasak. Begitu juga ikan sapu-sapu, di sana jadi makanan beranga-berang, bahkan sebagai ikan konsumsi.

Gak selamanya yg asing itu bagus, pun yg lokal blm tentu buruk.

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home.

They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

Ngomong baik2 > apa2 viralin

Kudalam hati: Oke deh sekarang belinya herman miller

Gw tetep ngerasa S1 reguler itu dibuka sampe paling engga 30-40 taun. Mungkin beda jalur gapapa, tapi dibuka. Bukan dibatasi ampe 3 taun pasca lulus SMA.
Ada faktor ekonomi.
Ada faktor mendadak jadi caregiver.
Ada faktor lebih lama karena disabilitas (khususnya yg menjadi disabilitas saat remaja/dewasa muda).

S1 negeri yang inklusif ya sebaiknya meminimalisir ageism.

Dear Gen Z,

Buat kamu yang sudah mati-matian nyelesain pendidikan, pontang-panting cari kerja, sampai rela ikut bootcamp dan magang gratisan buat nambah pengalaman, bahkan harus keluarin uang lagi cuma buat memoles CV supaya dilirik perusahaan.

Kamu yang berbulan-bulan berjuang, akhirnya diterima kerja.
Tapi ternyata tempat kerjanya toxic dan punya atasan yang bikin mental breakdown.
Setiap hari harus desak-desakan di transportasi umum, berangkat subuh, pulang malam, kamu tetap bertahan. Karena kamu tahu, cari kerja sekarang susahnya bukan main.
Semua dijalani demi gaji yang sebenarnya nggak seberapa, mengingat harga-harga sekarang semua serba mahal.
Kamu lalui hari-harimu sambil pura-pura kuat, meski kadang duduk di pojokan buat nenangin kepala yang rasanya mau pecah.

Saat terima gaji, kamu merasa senang tapi sedikit mengelus dada, karena nominalnya berkurang agak lumayan akibat potongan pajak.
Kamu coba ikhlas sambil berdoa, semoga pajakmu benar-benar terpakai untuk pembangunan. Kamu sedikit bangga karena ikut berkontribusi.

Sampai di bulan Januari 2026, kamu baca berita:
Indonesia memutuskan bergabung dengan Board of Peace, dan Indonesia ikut iuran Rp17,9 triliun, uang dari sebagian besar APBN untuk disetor ke Trump.

Ya, sebagian yang disetor itu adalah uang kamu.

Gimana perasaan kamu?
