A lot of people outside of America are confused by Super Bowl “Football” so here are a few facts and pointers:
The sport is called football as the ball is exactly 12 inches in length.
Play consists of 112 quarters, each one lasts for about 30 seconds.
During this time players must carry the “Football” (or “Gameball” or “Stitchface”) as far as possible into the score zone while the other team attempts to kill them.
Once a player has been successfully killed, play is paused while everyone on the other team has the chance to say something nice about them.
In the unlikely event the football is successfully carried into the score zone a “touchdowner” is awarded (worth 5 points) and the player can earn a further 27 points by kicking the ball through the goalsticks.
In the fifth quarter, the teams are allowed to wear their own clothes.
MULTIBALL can be called at any time.
The iconic football helmet is worn to stop the players from kissing each other.
Play can only stop when everyone has thanked the referee (or “umpire”) and given them a small present (usually a book token). Technically Super Bowl XXI is still being played to this day as someone from the Denver Racoons forgot to do so.
Each player who has the honour of Super Bowling is given a large jewel-encrusted gold ring, that is worn through the nipple.
Hope this is helpful to anyone who is unsure about the game!
Bro woke up and chose violence

If you have multiple personality disorder and don’t know it, which wasteof account do you think your other personality owns? (Bonus points if the other account picks you)
Bro got caught lacking
I found their app icon (see the top left image) on 2 websites that are registered before theirs. One of the sites dates back to 2019 and has blog posts prior to the launch of the app too. Can’t confirm, but I suspect it’s either stolen from somewhere or it’s a template of some kind (which also sucks honestly, make your own logo y’know?).
Did I just find… a Christian rap album that is better than (most of) Kanye’s albums?
Week 5/52
2: I did 20 miles this week (it was a race week so I did less)
3: I ran my first race of the year yesterday (1/11)
No other updates. Next week I’ll hopefully have more to say.
Happy New Year everyone!
I spend too much time on wasteof. But of all the places on the internet, this is the only one that is worth coming back to multiple times a day.
Now, I present my goals for 2024. The goals are all specific and quantifiable, so I can measure if I complete them. Here they are:
Run a 5k in under 20 mins by March, under 18 mins by August, and under 16 mins by November
Run over 1500 miles in total
Run a race every month - except January because I can’t find a single convenient race that month.
Finish school early - I’m on track to finish 1-2 weeks early, so I want to keep, if not improve, that lead
Bring the wasteof iOS app to feature parity with wasteof2 by July, and to parity with wasteof4 by November
Do some other big coding project
Read the book of John, taking it slowly through the book - Goal is 3-4 verses per day, John has 879 verses so it should take up the majority of the year
Become (at least) friends with my crush. “Becoming friends” is defined as getting her phone number. I won’t see her until August, though and I barely know her. And I’m the most awkward person ever. We’ll see.
Buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 10 when they come out.
Get a driver’s license by August - I need 60 hours of driving practice in total, I have about 10 so far. I haven’t been trying though.
Get a job.
Repost this weekly with progress updates on what I’ve done to keep myself accountable.
2023 was the greatest year of my life. 2024 will be even better. Let’s get it.
Here’s some pictures of it (I’m not in them)
I did the Krispy Kreme run today, it was really fun. The donuts halfway through definitely throw you off. I got 38 minutes (not counting 10 minutes standing around at the Krispy Kreme). My friend was there with me and he was one of the top 10 people to get to the Krispy Kreme, but he didn’t know you could leave with your donuts, so he stayed there to eat them.
