When in doubt, ask an 18-year-old life coach.

Most people who learn how to be a better writer end up sounding like every other person who learned how to be a "better writer". If you learn how to be funny, your authentic self is more likely to come out. At least that's what I think. Could be bullshit, I'm just some guy on…

Yesterday, I gained 11 followers. It may not be much to you, BUT: They're all beautiful women who think I'm handsome and offered me to have a sexy chat via webcam. Keep grinding.

If you're making a video or writing about someone doing something weird/embarrassing/crazy, here's how you can make it a lot funnier: Have at least one "normal" person observing the situation and reacting to it. The reaction is often funnier than the thing itself.

Remember that every word counts. Like, every one of them. Each word that you use! Cut as much as possible. Don't waste your reader's time is what I'm trying to say. There is not point in making it longer than necessary. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is be concise.

I've listened to so much of @lexfridman that at this point, I feel closer to Lex Fridman than I feel close to my realistic blow-up doll of Lex Fridman.

I remember reading about a study that showed that being funny makes others more willing to pay higher prices. For more tips on how to make this happen, please wire me 10 BTC.

Making a speech? You're more likely to be liked if you make fun of your vulnerabilities instead of trying to look cool.

Back when I was a photographer, I got fired for having sex with one of my models. It's now been six years since I left the world of wildlife photography.

I'm obsessed with @jimmyjoyfood to the point that I sound like I work for them. I've never recommended a product so much (seriously they're not paying me to say this). Not only are their products amazing but their brand is super funny. I'll probably write about them soon!
