The modern world we live in is just covered in signs . Some just point you in the right direction, some warn you of danger and some are just trying to sell you things you don't really need. So in this modern world that is almost covered in signs, how do you make your sign stand out? well, you can make it bigger than everyone else's or use bolder letters and colors, but there will always be a bigger and bolder sign to take your place. Another thing you can do is be unique, stand out from the cro…

Look, I'm not judging anyone for buying stuff they don't need, god knows I do that a lot. I'm doom scrolling on my phone in the middle of the night and I find myself ordering a replica of the Hoverboard from Back to the Future part 2 that costs way too much. Do I need it? no. Do I want it? Yes! That's just called an impulse buy and I totally get it. But the products on this listicle are just so unnecessary that I can't think of one reason anyone would buy them. I mean, a “pee-stained” designer…

Hark, noble scroller of the digital scrolls ! As thou dost thumb through the vast interwebs, prithee, take a moment to rest thine eyes upon this humble collection. In days of yore, ere smartphones and Wi-Fi signals did conquer the land, jesters and minstrels spun tales and sang songs to entertain the masses. But now, we hath memes – glorious illustrations paired with witticisms that would surely have even the most stoic of knights holding their sides in laughter . Ah, but fear not, for these ar…

Welcome to the wild world of wonky trademarks , where the 'Just Do It' spirit gets a little lost in translation and designer logos take a detour into the absurd. Picture this: you're strolling down the market aisles when you spot something familiar yet unmistakably odd. It's a pair of 'Abibas' sneakers, complete with the iconic three stripes, but just a bit... off. Or maybe it's the 'Specialman' action figure, fighting for justice and the best bargain bin deal. These brand doppelgängers are the…

Some of these are just... No words

We all know sushi is an art form, but Takayo Kiyota takes it to a whole new level. She creates some of the most intricate and detailed sushi designs we’ve ever seen. Granted, some of these creations aren’t exactly bite-sized; in fact, some are quite large. However, they are still crafted using traditional sushi-making techniques. She uses nori (seaweed), rice, and a variety of toppings, which she meticulously arranges before rolling everything together. The real magic happens when she cuts into…

Now, why didn't we think of that?

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. 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…
