It feels like personal house robots are just around the corner. Tesla is working on its own robot servant , along with several other companies that are making leaps in a field that was long considered a pipe dream, thanks to advances in image recognition and AI. But what if we told you that 40 years ago, you could have purchased a home robot that could do much more than you would expect from a robot of the 1980s? In 1984, Hubot emerged as a pioneer in the world of personal robotics, offering a…

Welcome to the IMF.

I'm just going to say it: I'm really glad to be out of school . And it's not that I don't love learning new things—on the contrary, it's still one of my favorite things to do. It's just that the entire school system feels outdated and obsolete to me. Not just the idea of putting children in a closed room for hours and expecting them to memorize irrelevant information, but also the textbooks those kids are supposed to learn from. These textbooks are almost always out of date, badly written, and…

I used to love E3, I really did. Sure, it was made up of 93% pure cringe, but that was part of its charm. Watching game developers squirm on stage, trying to be cool while showing incomplete, buggy versions of their games was pure fun! Well, E3 is dead now and will probably never be coming back, But thank god for Geoff Keighley, who now seems to be holding the entire gaming industry on his scrawny shoulders as he hosts The Game Awards , Summer Games Fest, and Gamescom—all at pretty much the sam…

So I was wondering to myself, How many total hours of Star Trek are there? and I am talking about all the TV series and all the movies combined (excluding video games from this list because those could actually be endless) and the number I found was a staggering 690 hours! That's an entire February worth of Star Trek content! 28 consecutive days! You could literally start playing the first episode of the original series on February 1st and it will continue playing nonstop, by order, throughout…

Have you tried switching it off and then on again?

It's time to get random! who says everything has to be structured and ‘by the book’? In fact, the more I look at it, the more I realize how much we value randomness, especially in this point in history. Just look at the way you spend your free time - either channel surfing on TV, doom-scrolling on social media, or listening to a randomized playlist on Spotify - we love randomness! I personally get really annoyed with algorithms if they start offering me the same type of content over and over. S…

I think part of my geeky “Rizz” (as the kids today would say) is that I have none. This was, of course, a huge problem back when I was a teenager, just trying to get girls' attention, But I feel like times have changed a lot. Back in the 80s and 90s there was nothing less appealing than a nerd. You were a “Steve Urkel” or a “Screech” - meaning the least desirable person in the entire school, destined to be forever ridiculed and taunted. You were social poison!. However, times have changed , esp…

Sure, anyone can do their job properly, but where's the fun in that? In this hilarious listicle , people from various different professions share some awkward and down-right ridicules stock photos of their jobs. For some reason, it seems like stock photo photographers are obsessed with representing every profession out there as wrongly as possible. Is your subject an environmental scientist? have him sit in the mud in a full hazmat suit next to a house plant. Is je a biologist? Show him injecti…

One meme to rule them all, One meme to find them, One meme to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

Save this list for later use: We all know Star trek fans are known as “Trekkies” and Dr. Who fans are known as “Whovians”, And you might know Firefly fans call themselves “Browncoats”.
