Takis has launched a public search for its first-ever Chief Intensity Officer
The creator-led competition includes leaked-style videos, public voting and live judging
One winner will receive $30,000 while four finalists earn $1,000 each
The campaign kicked off with what appeared to be an internal memo that had been accidentally leaked, complete with handwritten notes. That was followed by a Zoom-style video that felt like it was never meant to leave Takis headquarters, showing employees reviewing early (and comically unprepared) candidates.
Takis describes the campaign as "intentionally chaotic" and built to feel native to how people actually discover their favorite things and creators online.

Reddit has asked - What’s a small social rule you refuse to follow?
Pretending to like people just because we are related.
Giving money at work to buy a manager (or higher-level boss) a gift for Christmas, birthday or whatever.
Staying for an entire social event. I leave the moment I no longer want to be there.
When I'm leaving a party, I refuse to make rounds and say goodbye to everybody. I say goodbye to the host, and I'm out of there. (Irish Goodbye)
If you knock on my door, I don’t have to come answer or even acknowledge you were there.
Being available 24/7. I don’t answer my phone if I am already talking with someone else.
Having an excuse as to why you’re saying no. Once I realized “no” is a full sentence, things have been easier.
I say no whenever I'm asked if I would like to donate to a cause when at the register buying something.
Bringing someone with me to eat or go to the movies. What's the big deal. I don't have to talk or share my overpriced popcorn.
I don't like having to crawl over the table to make sure my glass clinks with every single other glass during a toast. It's symbolic. Raising your glass and motioning is enough. Calm down.
Sitting "ladylike." It's freaking uncomfortable, and I refuse.
Get into the discussion here.

Today’s Useless Fact of the Day - A Missouri senator proposed a bill requiring stores to sell only warm beer, aiming to reduce the temptation to drink immediately after purchase and potentially decrease drunk driving incidents. This legislation would risk liquor licenses for stores that sell beer colder than 60 degrees.
