'''World of T-Shirts''' was an online T-shirt and merchandise store operated by [[Joshua Block]] through the print-on-demand platform CafePress. The store, from which Block derived his online username, was created some time before 2019, and was inactive by the time of its deletion in 2024. The CafePress page was eventually taken down, though the exact circumstances surrounding its deletion remain unclear.

== All Things Luxury ==
'''All Things Luxury''' was the sister site to World of T-Shirts. Its name may have implied some level of luxury, but from what's known, it would have sold the same quality of products on World of T-Shirts.

== World of T-Shirts Express ==
'''World of T-Shirts Express''' was yet another CafePress page operated by Joshua Block. Nothing else is known, aside from it being intended to save potential buyers' time.
