Thai food, a culinary concoction so complex in flavors that many believe it was devised by a committee of aromatically obsessed aliens from the V'Ger region, where taste buds are said to cover their entire body. Each dish is a nuanced symphony of spicy, sour, sweet, and salty, with a dash of umami for good measure - which earthlings tell apart by which part of their mouth feels like it's traveling through hyperspace. Indeed, one can expect their palate to embark on a journey more thrilling than bypassing the Vogon constructor fleet on a Thursday afternoon.
Should one wish to undergo the galactic rite of passage that is consuming Thai food, it is advised to keep a towel handy. Not for the usual reasons, but to dab the inevitable sweat from one's brow.
Authentic Thai food can be found on Earth, specifically in Thailand - the clue is in the name - but also in the Betelgeuse trading colonies, where it is served with a side of zero-gravity sticky rice.
Travelers should avoid eating Kaeng Phet Pet Yang whilst wearing a white shirt, as the red curry has been known to send vibrant projectiles into orbit around one's attire with the slightest disturbance of space-time (or a sneeze).
The popular Thai dessert 'Mango Sticky Rice' was once used as a temporary adhesive to seal hull breaches in the small cargo ships of the Gaseous Anomalies Guild. It also doubles as a delightful treat.
After surviving the spiciness of Thai cuisine, cool your jets with Zaphod's Zero-Zest Throat Lozenges - the preferred choice for the discerning galactic traveler's singed esophagus.

The wallet.dat, not to be confused with a wallet gnat (a pesky insect known to feast upon fiscal responsibility), is in fact a file teeming with digital richness, often comprising a cryptocurrency enthusiast's entire life savings, encrypted memories of regrettable impulsive purchases, and enough alphanumeric characters to make a Victorian typewriter blush. This precious file contains the private keys for accessing one's virtual trove of crypto coins. While entirely lacking the charisma of a leather-bound wallet or the velvety touch of a moth-eaten purse, it is very much sought after by modern space-age pickpockets, known in some sectors as 'hackers' or 'mom' when she's figured out your computer password again.

Walletbackup: an obscure and rarely understood phenomenon in the financial sectors of the galaxy. It is, in essence, the act of producing a duplicate of one's wallet, complete with expired membership cards and out-of-circulation currency from now defunct planetary systems. Many an interstellar traveller has mused over whether their walletbackup should contain the same number of ancient receipts and unidentifiable loyalty cards as their original. Some scholars argue that a perfect walletbackup must also replicate the exact crumbliness of long-forgotten biscuits tucked away in its deepest compartments.
