Whatch'a looking at?

I don't know how you can even compare Halloween to any other holiday. No other date on the calendar can even come close to October 31st. What does Christmas have? Holiday cheer and a tree? Give me a break! I would take pumpkin spice anything over eggnog any day. And what about Thanksgiving? Sure, it has tons of amazing food, and you get to save one turkey out of 46 million, but do you get to dress up as your favorite horror movie character and scare the daylights out of random kids? No! And you…

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…

Autosaves are never a good sign

Pulp Fiction is 30 years old, but it feels like it hasn’t aged a day! It’s still as entertaining , wild, and clever as it was when it first came out in 1994. I remember going to the movies with my friends, intending to see a different film (probably Ace Ventura: Pet Detective ), but since there were no tickets available, we had to settle on Pulp Fiction . I went in not knowing anything about the movie, and I came out transformed . I had no idea cinema could be that . The way Tarantino told the…

It's funny because it's peer reviewed!

I've seen memes you wouldn't believe.

Have you ever worked on something for years? I mean really poured your heart and soul into it, giving it all you've got. I can tell you that, personally, I have been working on a book for the past several years and I am nearly finished. But now I am absolutely terrified of actually showing it to anyone because after putting so much work into it, I don't think I could handle any kind of rejection. It would be devastating! Well, think about J.K. Rowling , who worked on the first book for over fiv…

A Nightmare on Elm Street is the perfect horror movie. I don’t care how many of you try to tell me it’s The Shining , Halloween , or maybe The Texas Chainsaw Massacre —‘ Nightmare ’ will always be at the top of my personal list. What Wes Craven was able to do in that movie, which no other horror film could do back then (or since), is make the horror inevitable. Let me explain. Are you afraid Jason Voorhees will come after you? Just don’t go to Camp Crystal Lake. Worried about a Xenomorph ? Just…

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…

You know what's better than being correct? Winning the lottery! But also being technically correct . In this age of social media, where we engage with complete strangers daily, there's no better feeling than shutting down a conversation or an argument with one perfect comeback. Look, anyone can be correct on the internet (and most people THINK they are, all the time), but being technically correct —that's the ace up your sleeve. It allows you to walk away victorious from any argument, even if y…

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…
