Sometimes I feel like we were transported to a different universe right after Avengers: Endgame . It's like Tony Stark died, Then we had a global pandemic, then civil unrest, several wars, Betty White Died and mumble rap lives on, but it also seems like we accidentally stepped into a universe where Marvel forgot how to run a cinematic universe. Remember the time when Marvel could do no wrong? When every single movie they produced broke box office records and got both the fans and the critics ex…

Whatch'a looking at?

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…

Buying a new phone or a new computer will always cost a pretty penny but I don't think we appreciate how good we have it today, relative to how things were back when home computing just started. Computers back then were considered a luxury and they cost accordingly. Don't let the prices you see in these ads fool you. At first you look at an ad to a home computer going for 4,495 dollars and you say to yourself “Yes, that's not cheap but it isn't that bad” well, you are not taking inflation into…

There are three types of people in this world: those who can cook, those who can’t, and those who should stay as far away from the kitchen as possible. We’re not just talking about the ability ( or lack thereof ) to whip up a delicious meal. We’re talking about the people who might burn your house down trying to make a bowl of cereal—people who can’t even pour a cup of water without turning the kitchen into a war zone. It takes talent to prepare a mouth-watering meal, but it takes a whole diffe…

Speak meme and enter

Way before the rise of the hipsters there were nerds . Although not as smug and, frankly obnoxious as hipsters, nerds tend to say things that only they, and a small group of other people with the same interests would understand. The are the originators of the “Umm.. actually” phrase, that only exist to differentiate between those who know and those who do not, in fact, know. “Oh, you don't know what Avogadro's number is? No, you probably never heard of it, why would you? Than you will probably…

Inflation might be making you poor, but it can't take your memes away.

Some years are just complete bangers when it comes to movies. 1994 is often cited as the best year in Hollywood history, with movies like Pulp Fiction , The Shawshank Redemption , Forrest Gump , and The Lion King coming one after the other. But for some reason, whenever you look up “Best years in movie history,” you almost never see 1988. Well, I beg to differ—1988 was an absolutely amazing year with some incredible films coming out one after the other. We're talking classics like Die Hard , Wh…

In a world still recovering from a global pandemic, the news that scientists have uncovered 1,700 new viruses might sound like the last thing we need. But before you start stockpiling toilet paper again, rest assured these viruses are ancient, frozen for tens of thousands of years in a Tibetan glacier. And no, they’re not here to cause the next pandemic. Instead, they offer a fascinating glimpse into the distant past of our planet. Let’s dive into this icy adventure!

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…

What is it about this dark, bitter, hot beverage that I love so much? And believe me, I really do love my coffee! If I had my way, I’d drink nothing but coffee all day. Actually, come to think of it, it *is* up to me, and that’s exactly what I do—I drink about 7 cups a day! I recently cut back on making every single one of those with a double shot of espresso. If you’re worried about my health, don’t be. I’ve Googled “How much coffee is too much coffee?” more times than I care to admit, and the…

On the age-old question of “ Are we alone in the universe ” I stand firmly on the side of “What makes you think you're so special?”. Do you really think that in an infinite universe there is only one planet supporting life? We have 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone and there are billions of galaxies in every direction you look, You really thing this planet is so special? No, we are carbon-based life forms and carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. If it happened here,…
