He is generally unshaven, covered in stains and intoxicated, wandering the streets of whichever city is unfortunate enough to be graced by his drunken presence. He is frequently referred to as '''Captain''', due to the [[The Captains Hat|captains hat]] that he is notorious for wearing. | ||
Josh has been unemployed for most of his life likely due to his autism, and has no real hobbies or skills, except drinking colossal amounts of alcohol. He drinks constantly, and has been on a non-stop bender for some years now. His popularity on [[Social Media Accounts|social media]] has led to many [[trolls]] finding him and yelling the catchphrase, [["Put the Fries in the Bag"|"Put the fries in the bag!"]] which causes him to have a meltdown, better known as a crashout. Crashouts generally involve clamping his teeth down on his hand, waving his arm around in a muppet-like fashion, hitting/kicking/biting/spitting on his victims, screaming [[Josh's Racism|slurs]] or his well known [[Josh's Catchphrases|phrases]] ("I live paycheck to paycheck!", "You unemployed rat!", "You're fucking with the middle class!"

Over the years Josh has been involved with many managers/enablers, such as [[Michael Quinn]], [[Jason Itzler|Jason "Mr. Based" Itzler]], or more recently, [[Tony|Tony Bame]]. The work of a manager usually involves providing Josh with an endless flow of alcohol, getting him a hotel room, and attempting to stop his autistic booze fueled rage, although most fail to do the latter, resulting in Josh frequently being involved in altercations, being hospitalized, or being arrested.

Josh also has ventured into the [[Music Career|music industry]], showing up at recording studios to sing covers of songs, usually with the words changed so that the song is about alcohol. | Over the years Josh has been involved with many [[Handlers|managers/enablers]], such as [[Michael Quinn]], [[Jason Itzler|Jason "Mr. Based" Itzler]], or more recently, [[Tony|Tony Bame]].

=== Childhood === | |||
Josh was raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He frequently claims that his father is a drug addict who abused him and then abandoned his family, and is currently in rehab. Josh was born with [[autism]] which resulted in near constant stimming, which can be seen in a video recorded by young Josh while on an [[Amtrak Train Video|Amtrak Train]], where he is heard repeating words. Josh became interested in photography and videography when he was eight years old after his grandfather gave him a Nikon camera. | |||
=== Death of Mother === | |||
At the age of 14, Josh's mother died due to ovarian cancer, resulting in Josh moving to Patchogue, New York, where he was taken in by his [[Grandpa Block|grandfather]], who became his legal guardian. Block attended Patchogue-Medford High School and graduated with a Regents diploma in 2021. | |||

[[Michael Quinn]] first became involved with Joshua Block sometime in late 2021 or early 2022 as he explained in a video.. As Josh's first manager, Quinn encouraged him to start an [[The World of T-Shirts Experience|illegal NYC tour business]], which became known as "[[The World of T-Shirts Experience]]." Quinn's influence on Josh had become significant, as he has been involved in various aspects of Josh's life and online presence. | |||
A notable example of Quinn's involvement occurred on April 1, 2024, during an incident on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). Quinn made several TikTok posts claiming that Josh was attacked by "thugs" who attempted to steal his phone, [[The Captains Hat|hat]], and wallet. Quinn stated that he had taught Josh to "flex and roar like a beast" as a defense technique. He also mentioned trying to convince Josh to take up karate. These posts illustrate Quinn's role in managing and commenting on Josh's activities, as well as his efforts to shape Josh's public persona. | |||

— Joshua "WorldOfTShirts" Block |
Joshua Block, also known as World of T-Shirts, (born 7 August 2001), is a 23 year old autistic mentally ill alcoholic social media "influencer" and lolcow who is infamous for his meltdowns/crashouts and binge drinking. He gained popularity in 2020 on TikTok for coffee reviews, and later for his videos made in New York, until he spiraled into alcoholism and depravity. He currently resides in New York, although he is technically homeless. He is generally unshaven, covered in stains and intoxicated, wandering the streets of whichever city is unfortunate enough to be graced by his drunken presence. He is frequently referred to as Captain, due to the captains hat that he is notorious for wearing.
Josh has been unemployed for most of his life likely due to his autism, and has no real hobbies or skills, except drinking colossal amounts of alcohol. He drinks constantly, and has been on a non-stop bender for some years now. His popularity on social media has led to many trolls finding him and yelling the catchphrase, "Put the fries in the bag!" which causes him to have a meltdown, better known as a crashout. Crashouts generally involve clamping his teeth down on his hand, waving his arm around in a muppet-like fashion, hitting/kicking/biting/spitting on his victims, screaming slurs or his well known phrases ("I live paycheck to paycheck!", "You unemployed rat!", "You're fucking with the middle class!" "I've only been to [X amount] of countries!", etc.)
Over the years Josh has been involved with many managers/enablers, such as Michael Quinn, Jason "Mr. Based" Itzler, or more recently, Tony Bame. The work of a manager usually involves providing Josh with an endless flow of alcohol, getting him a hotel room, and attempting to stop his autistic booze fueled rage, although most fail to do the latter, resulting in Josh frequently being involved in altercations, being hospitalized, or being arrested. Josh's main revenue stream is from money that his managers give him, or from his illegal tour business that he runs. Josh also has ventured into the music industry, showing up at recording studios to sing covers of songs, usually with the words changed so that the song is about alcohol.
Josh is well known to have many mental issues including autism and paranoia, although many theorize he may have bipolar disorder due to his sudden mood swings, or possible schizophrenia as he has believed in the past that men were after him with knives. Josh appears to have little to no inhibitions, he is known to wander the streets drenched in vomit or alcohol, and frequently pees in the street, on the train or in his pants. Josh is well known to be cruel to animals, he has stomped a fish to death, thrown a fish out a window, and frequently threatens to hit or eat Mr. Based's pets, kicks Frankie the dog, and asked if he could shoot an emu. Over the years, Josh's lack of accomodation, unhygienic lifestyle, and chronic alcoholism have warped his body to become bloated and bent over, with swollen cheeks, pale skin and a red nose, moldy yellow teeth, and lifeless eyes.
