This guy bought a sterling silver candlestick holder at Goodwill for just $1.99, tore it apart, and pulled out about 23 grams of silver. At the time of the video, that was worth around $70. Even though silver prices have come down a bit since then and are sitting... show more

This woman was at a thrift store and spotted a necklace that just looked a little shinier than the rest. She asked to see it, made a bit of small talk, and decided to grab it for only $8. She couldn’t get back to her car fast enough! Once she was inside, she pulled out her phone magnifier and checked it closely — it’s 14 karat gold, made in Italy. If it weighs at least 30 grams it could easily be worth around $1,200 (even the scrap value is way more than she paid!). She was straight-up freaking out with excitement the whole time. Have you ever scored an amazing thrift find (jewelry, clothes, furniture, anything)?

A man walks into a local gold and silver shop carrying a massive 1,000-ounce silver bar. It’s the size of a brick and weighs around 70 pounds. The staff puts it on the counter and runs a series of tests — magnet test, density check, and electronic scanner. One by one, the results come back… it’s real. Everyone in the shop pauses for a moment, realizing they’re looking at a chunk of silver worth tens of thousands of dollars. In a world where counterfeit metals exist, shops have to be careful. A bar that big passing every test is both exciting and nerve-racking. If you owned a silver bar like that, would you hold onto it as an investment — or cash it in right away? 🪙

how it feels to have about 12 ounces of silver that you bought back when it was $30ish dollars for $120 dollars because you know how to scrap and seeing silver climb to $80 which allows you to afford a RAM upgrade

$This guy just sold a massive coin collection… for $53,100 cash on the table. 🤑🪙 Watch this crazy resale deal. A seller brings in coolers full of silver coins, gold, American Eagles, graded pieces — literally bags and bags of it. The reseller starts sorting, weighing, and calculating melt values right there on the table while they casually chat. They go through loose silver ounces, fractional silver, gold grams, and eagles… crunching numbers the whole time. After all the math, they land on a final number: $53,100. The seller even says this is only about a quarter of what he still has in the safe! It’s one of those “do you cash out or hold on?” moments that makes you stop and think. Would you have sold it all right there… or would you have held onto it? Personally, I would have held. 💰$

Are whites really this dumb? You are in a different country, at least check prices online and get an idea. He paid ₹8500 for a bag worth around ₹500, something even locals would avoid, and got scammed. Just a little research would have prevented this. 😭

This woman spotted a cute little jewelry box at the thrift store — it was glued completely shut and she could tell there was something inside. She brought it home, grabbed some tools, and carefully pried it open (she didn’t want to break the pretty dish). Inside she finds a small plastic bag… filled with what she soon realizes are human ashes. She went from excited treasure-hunter to “I’m literally about to start crying” in seconds. You can hear her processing it all in real time — “Is that a bag of dirt?” … “I think that’s somebody’s ashes.” Now she’s left holding this adorable little box and a very unexpected bag of cremains, wondering: keep the dish? Put the ashes back? Return it to the thrift store? Spread them somewhere? It’s one of the wildest “you never know what you’ll find” thrift stories I’ve ever seen. What would you do if you opened up a thrift store find and discovered this?

🚨 SILVER JUST GOT A GOVERNMENT GATEKEEPER 🚨 The Asian Guy just broke down one of the most important silver developments of this decade. Starting January 1, 2026, China is rolling out a strict export-licensing regime for refined silver. Not just a headline “ban”… but something arguably more powerful. Here’s what that really means 👇 • 60–70% of globally traded refined silver now sits behind Beijing approval • Silver is officially reclassified as a strategic material • This locks up supply while the market is already in a structural deficit Why? Because silver is critical to China’s future: ⚡ Solar panels (20g per panel) 🚗 EVs (25–50g per vehicle) 🌱 Green energy dominance This move turns China into the gatekeeper of global silver flows, just like rare earths before it. Less supply. More volatility. Higher pressure on price. If you’re watching paper prices and ignoring physical control, you’re missing the plot. Listen to the video. He explains exactly why this matters, what comes next, and why silver isn’t just a trade anymore, it’s a strategic asset. Know What You Hold! #SilverSqueeze

If you guys want to see a real “eater” check out Todd Ault. This dude is the epitome of being an eater. He changes business models with what ever is hot in the season. Right now he’s running $GPUS. A hyperscaler. Before that it was a blockchain company. And then something that held physical silver because silver was running. And before that something else. Dude has been incinerating capital for decades. And then this entire video. What a set up. Todd Ault is not a billionaire. Or else he wouldn’t be shilling these shitco companies at no name loser conferences decade after decade. Look at the price chart of anything he owns. It’s all trash.

Paul Tudor Jones on the moment early in his career that taught him the difference between investing and trading. He watched Bunker Hunt go from the richest man on Earth to nearly bankrupt in six weeks: "Bunker Hunt was squeezing silver at the time, and he bought about 200 million ounces at an average price of about $3.50. And between 1976 and 1980, inflation started ripping and silver went literally through the roof. By like 1979, silver was around $30 an ounce, and all of a sudden he was worth about five or six billion. So he buys 20 million ounces at $35. And it just roofed. Goes to $50. He's worth about 11 billion and he's got a multiple of five or six on the next closest guy. I just couldn't even believe what I had seen and how much money that this guy had made. COMEX made it liquidation only and silver collapsed. It went from $50 to under $10 in the space of about eight weeks. And that had a searing impact on me, to see him go from the richest guy to virtually bankrupt in the short space of six or seven weeks. Right then and there, I would never own anything or trust anything for the rest of my life. My grandfather, when I was really young, he said, "Son, you're only worth what you can write a check for tomorrow." So liquidity's always been something that's been in my DNA. I had this friend; he was such a character. We were brokers at that time at E.F. Hutton. And we called him The Mortician because he'd get an account with 10,000, churn about a $100,000 in commissions, take it to a million bucks, and then have it in deficit. So you learned that liquidity was really important because the volatility was so huge. We're all living on the edge. So that had a real impact on me. The idea of owning something for the long run was laughable, because look how much money you could make by trading in the short run."

Paul Tudor Jones: "I watched the richest man in the world go broke in six weeks. I decided I would never blindly trust any asset again and never get too attached to a position" In this interview Paul talks about 50 years on the market, how he lived through Black Monday in 1987 and the silver crisis, and why he still can't retire. "My grandfather told me: son, you're worth exactly as much as you can write a check for tomorrow" "Bunker Hunt bought around 200 million ounces of silver at an average price of about $3.50. By 1979 silver was at $30" Hunt's fortune grew to $5-6 billion, almost three times more than the next richest man on the planet. "Someone asked him: what are you going to do with all that silver? He said: bury it. And I'll buy another 20 million ounces and bury those too" Then COMEX went to liquidation only. Silver collapsed from $50 to under $10 in eight weeks. Watch what a market where prices double and halve every year does to a man ↓

Jordan Peterson: "If you can't fix your room, you can't fix your life" "Why should you even bother improving yourself? The answer is something like: so you don't suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. And maybe so others don't have to either. It's not some casual self-help doctrine. If you don't organize yourself properly, you'll pay for it. In a big way. And so will the people around you." Peterson continues: "You can say, 'Well, I don't care about that.' But that's actually not true, you do care about it. Because if you're in pain, you will care about it. It's very rare that you can find someone in excruciating pain who would say, 'Well, it would be no better if I was out of this.' Pain brings the idea that it would be better if it didn't exist along with it. It's incontrovertible." On how to start: "Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it. You can do this in a room. Sit in your bedroom and think: 'If I wanted to spend ten minutes making this room better, what would I have to do?' You have to ask yourself that, it's a genuine question. And things will pop out. There's a stack of papers bugging you. Some rubbish behind your computer monitor you haven't attended to for six months. Cables tangled up." He explains why this matters: "If you were coming to see me for psychotherapy, the easiest thing would be to get you to organize your room. You think, is that psychotherapy? It depends on how you conceive the limits of your being. Start where you can start. If something announces itself as in need of repair that you could repair, fix it. Fix a hundred things like that, your life will be a lot different." On fixing what you repeat every day: "People tend to think of their daily routines as trivial. You get up, brush your teeth, have breakfast. Those probably constitute 50% of your life. People think, they're mundane, I don't need to pay attention to them. No, that's exactly wrong. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. Hands down. Just do the arithmetic." On staying within your competence: "Sometimes you don't know how to fix something. Imagine you're walking down the street and there's a guy who's alcoholic and schizophrenic and has been homeless for ten years. That's a problem. It would be good if you could fix it, but you haven't got a clue. You walk around that and go find something you could fix. Just because something announces itself as in need of repair doesn't mean it's you, right then and there, who should repair it. You have to have some humility. You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away." Peterson shares the key insight: "As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim. That's actually how you see to begin with. You've all seen the video where you watch basketballs being tossed back and forth, and while you're doing that, a gorilla walks into the middle of the video and you don't see it. If you thought about that experiment for five years, that would be about the right amount of time to spend thinking about it." He explains what it reveals: "What it shows you is that you see what you aim at. If you can get one thing through your head, that would be a good one. You see what you aim at. One inference you might draw from that is: be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you. So if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is: are you aiming at the right thing?"

This couple bought an old dresser from the thrift store… and while they were taking it apart, they found something wild tucked inside the side rail that holds the drawer in place. A wad of rolled-up bills were just tucked away — mostly fifties, and a single $100 — and by the time it was all counted, there was $600 just sitting there waiting to be found. They even found a little gold coin tucked away too — it may or may not be real gold, but wouldn’t it be cool if it was! It's always so fun when you find something that you weren't expecting. What’s the coolest unexpected find you’ve ever come across in something secondhand?

This scene from Louis CK's show captures something about love I haven't seen anywhere else: The only thing sadder than feeling pain in the midst of loss is not feeling anything at all, because a lack of emotion would mean you didn't have something worth cherishing in the first place. This particular exchange is about breakups but it applies to any form of loss: moving cities, losing a friend, changing jobs, etc. Here's the transcript: Old Man: So you took a chance on being happy, even though you knew that later on you would be sad. Louis: Yeah. Old Man: And now... you're sad. Louis: Yeah. Old Man: So... what's the problem? Louis: I'm too sad.... Look, I liked the feeling of being in love with her. I liked it. But now she's gone and I miss her and it sucks. And I didn't think it was going to be this bad, and I feel like, why even be happy if it's just going to lead to this, you know? It wasn't worth it. Old Man: You know, misery is wasted on the miserable. Louis: What? Old Man: You know, I'm not entirely sure what your name is, but you are a classic idiot. You think spending time with her, kissing her, having fun with her, you think that's what it was all about? That was love? Louis: Yeah. Old Man: THIS is love. Missing her, because she's gone. Wanting to die.... You're so lucky. You're like a walking poem. Would you rather be some kind of a fantasy? Some kind of a Disney ride? Is that what you want? Don't you see? This is the good part. This is what you've been digging for all this time. Now you finally have it in your hand, this sweet nugget of love, sweet, sad love, and you want to throw it away. You've got it all wrong. Louis: I thought this was the bad part. Old Man: No! The bad part is when you forget her, when you don't care about her, when you don't care about anything. The bad part is coming, so enjoy the heartbreak while you can, for God's sakes.

But now she's gone and I miss her and it sucks. And I didn't think it was going to be this bad, and I feel like, why even be happy if it's just going to lead to this, you know? It wasn't worth it. Old Man: You know, misery is wasted on the miserable. Louis: What? Old Man: You know, I'm not entirely sure what your name is, but you are a classic idiot. You think spending time with her, kissing her, having fun with her, you think that's what it was all about? That was love? Louis: Yeah. Old Man: THIS is love. Missing her, because she's gone. Wanting to die.... You're so lucky. You're like a walking poem. Would you rather be some kind of a fantasy? Some kind of a Disney ride? Is that what you want? Don't you see? This is the good part. This is what you've been digging for all this time. Now you finally have it in your hand, this sweet nugget of love, sweet, sad love, and you want to throw it away. You've got it all wrong. Louis: I thought this was the bad part. Old Man: No! The bad part is when you forget her, when you don't care about her, when you don't care about anything. The bad part is coming, so enjoy the heartbreak while you can, for God's sakes.

.James Talarico: My baby niece is fascinated by the most boring things. A bug, a fork, a cloud. At her age, it’s all wonder and awe. Stop what you’re doing. Stop your hurry. Stop your scrolling. Just stop and look around with a child’s eyes. I’m not asking you to search for something out there; I’m asking you to notice what’s all around. Find a spiritual practice that works for you and find a community that can help you touch the ground of your being. We’re all expressions of a mystery — that sacred something. You may call it God or the cosmos or love, it doesn’t really matter. If at the end of a long day you find yourself in a moment of silence, say thank you. It just might be listening.

Hakeem Jeffries just got called out on national television for lying about gas prices. "These prices have come down at a level very similar to what the President said they would." Oil prices have fallen to around $70 a barrel, and gas prices are down 60 cents in a month. Democrat talking points just went up in flames.

I had the idea when John and I were sitting around thinking about his birthday. The Big 80. It’s what you do when such a milestone comes along: you start to wonder what the gift of a lifetime for this special day would be.
