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…

I am a careful driver . The only car accident I was ever involved in was when someone rear-ended me while I was waiting patiently at a red light. The man just didn’t notice the intersection and drove right into my car. It wasn’t my fault in any way. I always drive slowly and carefully, never doing anything that could endanger me or the people around me. The reason for that is because on the very first day I got my driver’s license , I scratched my dad’s car while backing out of the driveway. I…

Halloween might just top the charts as my all-time favorite holiday. Sure, I'm all about the festive cheer of Christmas, and Thanksgiving feasts hold a special place in my heart, but there's an undeniable allure to Halloween. That classic blend of orange and black? Total game-changer! Honestly, I'm tempted to drench my home in those shades all year long. The real charm of Halloween, though, lies in its celebration of the eerie and mysterious . In today's world, everything's become a tad too san…

We love it when smart people invent smart things to make everyone’s lives better. If you think about it, it only takes one person to invent something that can change the lives of countless people throughout history. Think of the person who invented the refrigerator; one brilliant idea to use compressed gas to cool air inside a container, and now we can all store food for longer periods of time. Well, Yup That Exists on Twitter is full of clever and quirky inventions just like that, shared daily…

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…

I have mixed feelings about Zoom meetings . On one hand, the convenience is undeniable—rolling out of bed, tossing on a somewhat respectable top, and joining a work meeting without ever leaving the house (let's be real, pajamas may still be the bottom half of my outfit). It’s efficient, no commuting required, and I definitely don’t miss sitting in traffic just to attend a meeting that could've easily been summarized in an email. But on the other hand, the non-stop video calls can start to feel…

You know what's funny? The fact that when we were kids, and also when we were teenagers, we used to groan and cringe whenever our dads told a particularly bad dad joke . And now that we are parents ourselves, we can't help but tell the same stupid jokes to our kids, who groan and cringe just like we did. And it's not that our sense of humor changed once we became parents, The truth is that we always found these jokes funny, we just found our parents cringy! Want some proof? we STILL groan and c…

It's funny because it's peer reviewed!

Anyone else feel like we were transported to a different universe right after Avengers: Endgame ? Not only does the world seem to be a far worse one, with global pandemics, civil unrest, wars, and mumble rap, but it also seems like we accidentally stepped into a universe where Marvel isn't doing too hot. 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 excited? Because I remember that! But now w…

Anyone else have the same problem of being considered by everyone around you as very intelligent but at the same time not being able to understand the most basic things like taxes, schedules, or basic human interactions? I've had this problem my entire life. I know a lot about everything that I find interesting, but at the same time, I know absolutely nothing about the most basic aspects of life. If you ask me to explain how a computer saves data on a hard drive (SSD or HDD), I could do it , ev…
