Most talked about
And the ones that got people talking.
Reader comments per post. One list — "50 Things People Never Thought They'd Have To Explain" — also drew 128 upvotes, the most of any.
What I'm proudest of
“Close to two centuries of reading time. Earned a headline at a time.”
Views are easy to chase. Time is honest — and it's the number I'd stake the portfolio on.
Three years in
Steady output — and readers lingering longer.
Posts a year
Average read time
Left, output holds near 400–450 posts a year. Right, read time sat flat through 2024–25, then jumped to 2:47 — its highest yet.
The range
One byline, a lot of lanes.
Relationship dramas, listicles, memes, history, the occasional unsettling fact — written for whichever platform it's headed to.
Figures are Chartbeat views and engaged time for my Bored Panda posts, 2024–2026, counted to date.
