Human-edited, source-led, allergic to a perfect myth.
Editorial Standards
The rules used before a factual story, scenario or ranking becomes public.
Accuracy before neatness
We do not strengthen a participant recollection into a formal offer, compare unlike transactions or repeat a viral quote because it makes the headline cleaner. Uncertainty belongs near the claim it qualifies.
Tone
The joke is usually about hindsight. We do not mock people for financial hardship, tragedy, illness, relationships or decisions made under constraint. Named individuals are not assigned a Pain Level.
Independence
Advertising, sponsorship and affiliate relationships do not determine inclusion, ranking or scenario outcomes. Paid relationships must be disclosed. No current affiliate links are active unless explicitly marked.
AI assistance
Automation may help organize sources, detect duplicates or produce a research draft. It cannot approve a claim, clear rights, invent a quote or publish an unreviewed story. A human editor controls publication.
Operational draft last reviewed September 2026. Final counsel and operating-entity details remain a launch gate.
