tl;dr: “yo im leaving wasteof, i actually like touching grass, still available on discord, cya” (paraphrased by @late)
Due to numerous personal factors, I have made the decision to leave wasteof.money, and the public-facing internet at large, indefinitely.
I initially didn't plan on making any kind of announcement because I didn’t want to come across as attention-seeking or performative in my decision. But honestly, leaving people in the dark feels like it’d create an adjacent problem, so I hope this can suffice.
You can continue to contact me in a few private spaces (Discord: kiwi.two, Steam: kiwitwo), or you can leave a message here for the time being. In theory, the only remaining public-facing places I plan to be active are YouTube (youtube.com/@kiwi-two), my currently in-development website (idk lol), and a couple of extremely niche places literally no one cares about. The ultimately unconstructive crapposting you’ve seen here is going to stop for a long while, however.
Just know that I'm doing well in real life and I intend to part on good terms. Having that forced two month break from wasteof honestly did wonders for my mental health so I’d like to keep that up. Ultimately, real life is something I'd like to spend more time enjoying, and this decision reflects that goal.
I hope you guys understand my decision, thank you for the laughs. I did learn quite a bit from my time on here and I’m not going to forget that any time soon.
my thoughts on wasteof4
i really like it! i’ve always been a bit bothered by how wasteof2 had a ton of free screen real estate that wasn’t being used for anything (at least on desktop), and i like how the left side is being used to host people’s bio and other details now!
speaking of the bio section, i like that as well! the current status thing on wasteof2 is only really useful if you have really short statuses, which… i like to be wordy, so i appreciate the added space! i also like the “featured users” section, and the ability to link a youtube embed or post is also pretty cool, i’ve always wanted youtube embeds on wasteof :)
other than that, that’s about all i can access logged out, and i’m impressed! it takes what wasteof2 has already done and makes it feel much more like a professional, complete website, and less so an experimental hobby project - but with all the charm wasteof2 has!
also the new 404 page is funni
well my silly little mindwave trashpost is done, here it is
how did this go from “i’m gonna spend 30 minutes making a silly little mindwave trashpost :3” to “i’m gonna spend the entire rest of my afternoon painstakingly learning how audacity works despite having little to no sense of music theory :3”

if anyone from 2027 reads this, look out for “kiwi” or “minikiwigeek2” or something in the credits
uneducated opinion (i know nothing about the film industry but whatever here’s my two cents):
if a major film studio decides to shelve a finished movie because they want to claim a tax write-off instead of releasing it, the movie should go into the public domain
potentially unpopular opinion (or maybe its popular idk):
