Established in 1842: Why Everything is Older Than You Thought.
There was a time, long ago... roughly 2007, when businesses were content to simply exist. You sold bagels, you put a sign on the door, and that was that. No origin myth. No fake Latin motto. No logo featuring an eagle wearing monocles. But those days are long gone.

If We Took Instructions Literally, Civilization Would Collapse by Thursday

Inside the Gym of Chad “Thunderbuns” Wilson, The World’s First Mentagonist™
