In the Swampland philosophy of constraining EFTs from black hole mechanics we study charged black hole evaporation in de Sitter space. We establish how the black hole mass and charge change over time due to both Hawking radiation and Schwinger pair production as a function of the masses and charges of the elementary particles in the theory. We find a lower bound on the mass of charged particles by demanding that large charged black holes evaporate back to empty de Sitter space, in accordance with the thermal picture of the de Sitter static patch. This bound is satisfied by the charged spectrum of the Standard Model. We discuss phenomenological implications for the cosmological hierarchy problem and inflation. Enforcing the thermal picture also leads to a heuristic remnant argument for the Weak Gravity Conjecture in de Sitter space, where the usual kinematic arguments do not work. We also comment on a possible relation between WGC and universal bounds on equilibration times. All in all, charged black holes in de Sitter should make haste to evaporate, but they should not rush it.

Limits on the Statistical Description of Charged de Sitter Black Holes
For charged de Sitter black holes, choosing the Bousso-Hawking observer normalization keeps the heat capacity finite in the Nariai limit, removing the expected log-T breakdown except in the cold and ultracold limits.

Causality Constraints on Black Hole Thermodynamics in Nonlinear Electrodynamics
Causality in nonlinear electrodynamics forces the entropy-to-mass-squared ratio of black holes to decrease with mass and the extremal mass-to-charge ratio to increase with charge.

Hierarchical Axiverse
The paper asserts that the requirement of well-defined QCD-induced mixing alone forces ALP masses into a hierarchical spacing and decay constants into two separated populations, but it does not demonstrate the underly...

Quantum Vacuum energy as the origin of Gravity
A theoretical essay arguing gravity emerges from vacuum energy, with Newton's constant set by the universe's mass and radius and an assumed RG flow used to fit the Hubble tension and avoid the Big Bang singularity.
