You know that moment when you clean your house and think, "Welp, that's the best I can make it look. It's not much, but at least it looks acceptable "? Well, for some people (like me), it's the same for life in general—it's not much, but at least it looks acceptable at a glance. Am I good at my job? No, but they haven't fired me. Am I close to getting married? No, but I did go on a date six months ago. Am I able to do my taxes on my own? No, but at least I'm not in jail! (Yet. ) So, to all the…

Whatch'a looking at?

I love looking at old advertisements . They’re like windows through time, allowing us to glimpse the everyday lives of people from the past. What did they like to eat? What did they find appealing? How much did things cost back then? It’s fascinating to see how much has changed, yet how much has stayed the same. I think what strikes me the most while looking through these old ads is the simplicity of their messaging —no flashy gimmicks or complex marketing tactics, just straightforward appeals…

How come so many great ideas come to us when we are in the bathtub? Like Archimedes coming up with the hydrostatic principle while taking a bath or… Ummm… well, it seems my hypothesis was unfounded since I cannot find another example of a scientific discovery made in the bathtub. But why? It seems like a good place to get sudden realizations about the universe. Lying there, surrounded by warm water, should definitely be a good place for a Eureka moment . I remember having the idea of helium lug…

It's funny because it's peer reviewed!

I swear officer, I have no idea how this " Sahnik the porcupine " plushie got in our inventory, I filled out the proper forms, I called Sony myself and got their permission to sell their official Sonic the hedgehog merch, But somehow I got stuck with these 3,500 fake plushies which I sell for 2.99 a pop, 2 for 3.99. What's that? Sonic isn't even a Sony character? Well that would explain why he looks so weird. I mean his hands aren't even the same color, what's up with that? Ok, Ok, calm down, I…

It's hard to believe that the Tom and Jerry cartoons, which originally came out all the way back in 1940, are still as funny and popular today as they were back in the day. They are truly timeless classics . I remember sitting in front of the TV as a kid, laughing hysterically every time Tom got whacked, smacked, zapped, crushed, burnt, or squished into any shape imaginable. It's crazy to think that our grandparents would go to the movies to laugh just as hard at the exact same cartoons, and th…

Personally, I don’t understand the whole “Let me just take a picture of my food before I eat it ” trend. It’s been going on for way too long if you ask me. We used to take pictures of special moments in our lives—meeting family, going out with friends, seeing something out of the ordinary. But your food? I don’t get it. If you look at your grandma’s old photo albums, they’re filled with pictures of her on trips abroad, at family occasions, or holding her newborn grandkids. What would your photo…

Have you tried switching it off and then on again?

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…

A delightful dose of double-take

I'll be honest with you—I really hate life hacks. They started off well, with people sharing clever ways to make life a little easier . But ever since "life hack" videos became insanely viral, we've seen YouTube channels like "5-Minute Crafts," which is probably the worst thing on the internet right now. These channels offer a collection of incredibly dumb life hacks, like fixing a broken screen with toothpaste or using a glue gun to make see-through gloves. But even without these terrible chan…

It's normal to be weird

I bet you didn’t know it’s National Metric Week, which is celebrated each year during the week containing the 10th of October (see what they did there? 10/10? Because the metric system is all based on 10? Clever!). And the reason you didn’t know about it is that you are either A) using the metric system every day and have no need for National Metric Week, or B) you are an American and will literally use anything other than the metric system. You’ll use feet, stones, grains, football fields, che…
