The 5-Mile Thoughts Annual: Volume One An Anthology of 2024's Most Impressive Digital Rambling Step into the archives of 2024's strangest corner of the internet with The 5-Mile Thoughts Annual, a curated grab-bag of Substack's finest esoteric musings, unsolicited opinions, and overlong essays no one asked for. A treasure trove for the excessively online, this inaugural volume captures the year's relentless churn of niche arguments, half-baked philosophy, and erudite diversions that teeter between brilliance and "why did I read this?" Inside, you'll find: Essays that start in one place and end in a completely unrelated dimension. Enough jargon to make you feel both very smart and very tired. Takes so niche they make the New York Times op-ed page look mainstream. Perfect for anyone who thinks "maybe they're onto something..." halfway through a 3,000-word screed on 18th-century agricultural metaphors, this book is equal parts time capsule, intellectual carnival, and a reminder of why not everything needs a "Part 2." For fans of pretension, profundity, and perilously specific vibes.
