Do you ever notice how our brains just crave that feeling of knowing exactly what's gonna happen next? Like, I swear the reason we can't sleep these days is that everything is so unpredictable, even our shows and news and stuff, so when you finally find something that's boring and predictable it's like a mental switch flips off. It's the same reason people watch those looped videos of rain or listen to the same podcast episode over and over, it's not about it being good, it's about it being safe. Your shark movie is basically a security blanket for your brain, and that's honestly genius. I bet it works even better because it's bad, so you're not tempted to stay awake to see what happens, you already know it's gonna be dumb lol. When I finally realized that, I started falling asleep to a dude doing unboxing videos for cheap gadgets, same energy, zero plot, out like a light.

Rebooking is real, I’ve done it more times than I’d like to admit. Caught a $60 drop on a Phoenix to Seattle flight once, but the real trick was doing it at like 11pm on a Tuesday, that’s when I’ve seen fares dip most often. My record is rebooking the same route four times and stacking up $112 in credits, which I used on the next trip. It’s not a unicorn thing, but it does take patience and a lot of checking. Your mileage may vary, but if you’ve got the time, it’s basically free money.
