The original idea for a title for this listicle was " Don't overthink about the title, Don't overthink about the title " Which we found funny and witty but then we realized not everyone will understand what this listicle is about, so we changed it to "We tried not to overthink about the title to this listicle but we did it anyway" But we thought it was just a lesser version of the original idea and it still didn't convey what this listicle was about. So then we changed it to "This listicle was…

Lately, my 10-year-old son started playing Dungeons and Dragons with some kids from school. Needless to say, I’m incredibly proud and happy to see a new generation continuing this great tradition. However, I recently had the chance to sit in the kitchen and eavesdrop on their session in the living room, and I have to say—they play the game very differently than my generation (Gen X) ever did. These kids are really getting into it. They leap out of their chairs every few seconds and mime everyth…

If you grew up in the 90s, you know it was a time like no other—a world of Discmans, Blockbuster Fridays, and the simplicity of offline life. Recently, a Redditor asked fellow 90s kids what they miss most from back then, and the answers are bound to hit you right in the nostalgia. From late-night chats on AOL Instant Messenger to hands-on Tamagotchi care and the excitement of finding the perfect rental at the video store, these throwbacks will take you straight back to your childhood. We combed…

A foe far too mighty for battle: The World Turtle

The perfect blend of Western and Eastern cartoons.

Back in the 1950s, with the arrival of the new technological miracle called “the TV,” life for the average family changed drastically. The TV was a much more communal experience than it is today, when everyone has their own personal screen. In those days , after a long day of work and school, the entire family would gather in the living room to watch TV together. And what could you do while watching TV? Eat a TV dinner, of course! TV dinners were marketed as the “future of food,” allowing peopl…

Whatch'a looking at?

If you look back at the past two years of “Geek Universe” You will see that we did quite a lot of listicles named “Blink Twice” where we find images that were taken at the precise time and angle to create a whole different situation, that makes you do a double take. At first you see a man with a skirt and high heels, only to realize, upon closer examination, that it's actually a man standing in front of a mirror with a pair of woman's legs reflected in it.

Nerdiness is a hell of a drug . Once you try one science fiction movie and like it, it's impossible to stop. One of your friends suggests you give Star Wars a try, and a week later, you are binge-watching Battlestar Galactica and buying Star Trek Funko Pops. You read one chapter of Lord of the Rings, and you suddenly find yourself knee-deep in a Dungeons and Dragons session with a bunch of sweaty, role-playing nerds . Also, your very definition of what is cool changes completely. You used to th…

There’s something endlessly fascinating about Disney villains—they’re bold, memorable, and somehow manage to steal the spotlight from the heroes. But before these iconic characters ever graced the screen, they started as sketches and ideas on an artist’s drawing board. From the terrifyingly sleek Maleficent to the larger-than-life Ursula, Disney villains went through some dramatic transformations from concept art to final film design, and seeing those changes side-by-side is like watching the m…

If you think a lunchbox is just for packing sandwiches, you haven’t seen Tomoko Shibata’s bento creations .

We’ve all been there: you sit in the barber’s chair, ready for a fresh new look, and you say something bold like, “ Just surprise me! ” Or maybe you find an edgy style online, thinking, “Yeah, I can pull this off.” But then, somewhere between the snip and the style, things go just a little off track. Or maybe a lot. From questionable mullets and gravity-defying spikes to designs that look like they belong in a modern art museum , these are the haircuts that went way beyond your average trim. Th…

A few years ago I had an idea for a perpetual motion device that I was convinced would actually work. Now, I know that the first rule of thermodynamics doesn't allow "Free" energy and I know every perpetual motion device in history was a hoax but I couldn't find an explanation WHY my device wouldn't work. It's a very simple device - Imagine a looped rope with empty barrels attached to it, One side of the loop is submerged vertically in water and the other side is outside of the water. The barre…

We love it when smart people invent smart things to make everyone's lives better. If you think about it, it only takes one person to invent something that can change the lives of countless people throughout history. Think of the person who invented the refrigerator; one brilliant idea to use compressed gas to cool air inside a container, and now we can all store food for longer periods of time. Well, Yup That Exists on Twitter is full of clever and quirky inventions just like that, shared daily…
