There was a moment in recent history when 3D printers were touted as the next big thing . Everyone thought they could just buy a printer and start making whatever they needed at home, instead of purchasing it. Broke your favorite mug? Just print an identical one. Want to start cycling to work? Just 3D print a bicycle! Your 3D printer broke? Ask your friend to print you a new one! The possibilities seemed endless , but much like cryptocurrency and the metaverse, nothing much came of it for most…

You don't stop playing because you get old, You get old because you stop playing!

How much coffee is too much coffee? This question has been bothering me ever since I bought my new coffee machine, and I have been, let's say, misusing it. Well, I’ve asked Google several times, "How much coffee is too much coffee?" and as it turns out—it’s a lot! Like, really a lot. You’d probably die from drinking too many fluids before you'd die from the caffeine. To give you another indication of my obsession with coffee: I once worked at a coffee shop, and during my shifts, I would munch o…

Memes to Celebrate Our Beautifully Distracted Minds

We just bought a new car, and I’m still riding that new car high. Everything about it is fresh and exciting. There’s even still a faint trace of that new car smell, and I’m constantly looking for excuses to take it out for a spin ("Oh look, the milk carton is almost halfway empty—better go to the store to get another one"). Our old car, in contrast, had reached the “I’m annoyed with everything about this piece of junk” phase. Don’t get me wrong—there was absolutely nothing wrong with the car, o…

Geronimo!

Federico Mauro is a celebrated Italian artist known for his ability to create striking, minimalist art with profound meaning. In 2013, he released a series called " Famous Guns, " where he compiled and showcased iconic weapons from history, pop culture, and cinema . This unique collection highlights pistols and guns that belong to legendary characters such as John Wayne, Tony Montana, James Bond, Han Solo, and even Jack Sparrow. Mauro's work transcends a simple homage to firearms; it delves int…

It's easy to forget just how beautiful our planet really is, especially when you are a human being, living his/her life in a city, spending too much time in front of excel sheets and web browsers. “You need to touch grass” is what my kid says every time i complain about all the chores i need to do around the clock to keep the house running. And he isn't wrong - we all need a little more nature in our lives. But sometimes all you really need is just a fresh perspective to re-appreciate how absol…

Oh, how times have changed, and mostly for the better! Yes, I know it's easy to complain about how things used to be better and everything is terrible now, but that is just not true! Literally everything is better now —human rights, standards of living, healthcare, reduced crime rates, level of education—everything is better than it was in the previous century. And that's a fact! Is the world perfect now? Absolutely not, but if you think you would have been better off fifty or a hundred years a…

Careful! One of these memes might be a Meme-ic

We know that sometimes you feel really old while talking about your childhood during the 1990s ; you feel like the younger generations are looking at you in the same way that you looked at older people talking about the 1940s when you were a child. But there's one huge difference - your childhood was awesome! You see, back in the early 20th century life kinda sucked; everyone was poor, there was no entertainment and you had to boil your food before you ate it. However, the late 20th century was…

I would have made a wonderful scientist if I could only do math, understand complex ideas, concentrate for several hours and, in general, just be smarter. This might sound like a joke but I really believe that. I feel like I have a real passion for science, but I lack the actual tools a person needs to be a scientist. It's all nice and well to retain your natural curiosity into your adulthood, which is absolutely one of the requirements for being a scientist, but it's nothing if you cant sit do…

We know, we know—you hate AI-generated images . Well, we aren't huge fans either, but it looks like they're here to stay, so we might as well have some fun with them before they make it impossible to tell what's real and what isn't. You have to admit, it's kind of wild that AI has reached a point where you can just type "design a toy that lets kids play Jenga with hotdogs," and it just does it. I get that computers are better than us at math and can calculate almost anything at lightning speed,…

You want to know how long Lord of the Rings memes have been popular? Well, you might think they started with the rise of social media, when people began posting and sharing memes on their timelines, but it actually began much earlier. We’re talking while the movies were still in theaters. Return of the King came out in December 2003, and by January 2004, we already had our first big meme template that had caught the attention of most internet users—“One does not simply." This was quickly

I am Vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!
