Singapore Masochists Pay $20 Hourly To Experience Prawn-Based Emotional Neglect

Singaporeans have found a revolutionary way to burn money faster than a crypto scam by sitting in humid sheds staring at stagnant ponds.

The "sport" of prawnfishing allows citizens to pay $20 hourly for the privilege of being ignored by a crustacean with more self-respect than them.

"I like the thrill of catching one tiny prawn after three hours of biting mosquitoes," said enthusiast Ah Seng.

"Wait so long, pond water smell like longkang, but at least I don't need talk to my wife, mah."

Experts suggest this hobby is the ultimate "lepak" experience, perfectly simulating the slow, oxygen-deprived decay of a corporate career.

Nothing says relaxation like paying a premium to smell like bait while questioning your entire existence.
