But the worst thing is when you're washing your face and then water trickles down into your sleeves.

especially if you're wearing pajamas and you just have like a trickle of wet to your elbow and you go, I hate this.

I hate this so much.

So what I did, I realized that I've hated this my entire life and I only identified this disgusting sensory nightmare in like a few months ago.

I was like, oh, that's why washing my face at night always feels like I'm embarking on tax season every night.

So I took some, you know, like gym socks, like longer ones that are elastic-y, and I just cut off the tops of them, put one on each wrist when I wash my face so the water absorbs into this, you know, cut-off sock cuff on my wrist.

Doesn't get into your pajamas, doesn't go into your shirt.

Costs nothing.

Nothing.

So old sock sleeves to guard your wet wrists.

I imagine this would also work for, I don't know, washing the dishes or something.

Enjoy.

Tell your socks I said hello and thank you for everything that they do for you.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Hello, hello.

This is 2026 Allie, and I'd like to toss us down a wormhole with one of my favorite episodes.

But before we get into it, a little update.

This ologist, Dr. Adam Becker, has recently released a new book.

It's titled More Everything Forever, AI Overlords, Space Empires, and Silicon Valley's Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity.
