When I think back to my early days of Dungeons & Dragons, one of my strongest memories is sitting in our makeshift game room, while my brother—the Dungeon Master—worked quietly on our next adventure. The table would be littered with graph paper, dice, and rulebooks, but my focus would inevitably drift toward the stunning art of Jeff Easley . His illustrations seemed to come alive as I flipped through the pages of D&D books, transporting me to otherworldly landscapes filled with powerful wizards…

Cosplay is an art form. Sure, anyone can throw on a costume of their favorite character from pop culture, But some people take the whole thing to the next level . These people spend a lot of time and a lot of money to get their costumes just right. But it's not just about being as close to the original as possible. Sometimes it's all about the idea and execution. I mean, Pulling off a cosplay of Selina Kyle lookin in the mirror and seeing Catwoman is a stroke of genius. But what I find really f…

My mom was a really good cook. She would make us mouth-watering meals on a daily basis, and I was always excited when she called us to come and eat. But since I was growing up during the 80s, every now and then she would see a strange new recipe in the paper or in some weird cookbook and decide to make us things like "Chicken wings in cola" or "Tuna and olive pasta." We would collectively smile and eat quietly, trying not to hurt her feelings, but she could tell. For some reason, the 70s and 80…

A Notice: We have noticed that some of the readers noted that in the previous " Sign fails " listicle, there were notably signs that were not, in fact, "Fails." This has been noted, and a notice has been sent to the creators of the last listicle, and they have received their final notice. Thank you for noticing this notice! A Note about the Previous Notice: Now that we have read the previous notice, we noticed that the words "Notice" and "Noted" have appeared noticeably too many times , and we…

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…

Federico Mauro is a celebrated Italian artist known for his ability to create striking, minimalist art with profound meaning.

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…

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,…

Is there anything more uplifting and delightful than seeing two nerds getting married? We all know that, as awesome as nerds are, a lot of them had pretty tough dating experiences. Not only are nerds inherently awkward in social situations, but they also have very specific and often unorthodox fields of interest. The combination of these two factors sometimes made finding love a bit of a challenge. That’s why, when two nerds finally do find each other, it's something magical. Their shared love…

In this rollicking listicle, we've hunted down 39 bewildering design choices that zoomed straight past genius and crash-landed in "what-were-they-thinking" territor…

Listen, if you reframe a lot of these as multiverse crossovers, they're pretty cool...

Ah, the golden days of our youth, where Halloween wasn't just a holiday, it was a cinematic moment. Do you recall that year you were dead-set on channeling your inner hero or diva from the latest blockbuster or binge-worthy series? Imagining the gasps of awe from your pals as you strutted your stuff, right? And then... reality hit. Instead of the sleek and stylish ensemble of 'The Dark Knight,' Mom and Dad proudly presented the 'Dim Evening Guardian.' Not exactly what we had in mind, eh? For th…

Now, why didn't we think of that?
