OnlyFans on Digg, Foldable iPhones in 2026, and Why the Metaverse Is Officially Over
Episode 26
Wednesday, 21 January, 2026
https://digg.com is live! Public beta is open for community creation!January’s almost over, which means it’s either too late or just early enough to still say “Happy New Year.” In this episode, Kevin and Alex wade through that awkward seasonal purgatory, debate etiquette, and naturally land on Alex’s go-to insult: “Eat the bag.”Kevin checks in on Dry January and confirms that sleep is, in fact, real. The conversation takes a turn into the serious realities of alcohol withdrawal before pivoting to some big Digg news: the public beta is officially live, and you can now create your own Communities. Yes, that includes one called /onlyfans, which has absolutely nothing to do with what you think unless you are deeply into industrial air movers.From there, it’s a full tech firehose. The Metaverse is officially declared dead, Claude Code is writing entire web apps in minutes, and a startup called Humans just raised $480 million to make AI more collaborative, or possibly sentient. Also on the docket: foldable iPhones, mindfulness, Matt Damon’s attention span, and why chicken wings keep showing up in self-driving cars.This one’s got layers.SponsorsAnthropic: Get 50% off your first 3 months of Claude Prohttps://claude.ai/diggMonarch: Get 50% off your first year with code DIGGhttps://monarch.comWispr Flow: Try it freehttps://wisprflow.ai/diggZBiotics: Get 15% off your first order with code DIGGhttps://zbiotics.com/DIGGChapter Markers00:00 Intro00:44 When Is It Too Late to Say “Happy New Year”?01:28 Alex’s All-Purpose Insult: “Eat the Bag”03:32 Dry January Update: Alex Hits 20 Days04:52 Alcohol Withdrawal Gets Real07:16 Digg Public Beta and Build-Your-Own Communities08:36 The Confusing Purity of the “/OnlyFans” Community09:33 AI Moderation Logs That Actually Make Sense11:11 The Metaverse Is Dead.
