I'm not saying I have a strange sense of humor, but everyone around me definitely says that—a lot! Some things just make me laugh, and I can't really explain why. It's not that I don't know what's funny about them; it's just too hard to explain to a normal person. I would have to explain two, or maybe three different fandoms , and then draw the connection between each of them to explain why an image is funny. By that point, it's not funny anymore. I've always been like that. My friends would te…

Heads up: We are not Goth experts, just big fans! We realize how deep and diverse the gothic culture and subculture go and we do not pretend to know everything about it. Personally, we have always been silent observers, admiring them from afar but never mustering the courage to go and hang out with them. After all, what can us nerds and geeks offer such exquisite creatures of the dark? No, we just sat in our chess club, staring through the window at the goth kids being cooler than everyone else…

This is one of our favorite Hollywood stories. Back in 2020 a photo album was discovered in a Belgian thrift store called Opnieuw & Co in Mortsel. It was a very unassuming pink, floral album on the outside, but inside it contained a treasure trove of Hollywood history, featuring photos of numerous cinematic icons such as Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts, William Shatner, and Harrison Ford, all pictured next to a sweet middle-aged woman with curly two-toned hair, smiling and embracing the stars . And…

I have mixed feelings about Zoom meetings. On the one hand, I love that I can attend work meetings from home in my underwear (with a nice shirt on, of course). It's convenient, saves time, and means I don't have to drive to the office every time the boss shares news that could have been an email. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like all we do now is Zoom meeting after Zoom meeting. It's kind of insane how much time we spend on Zoom calls . However, one way to make these meetings more fun…

You know what's better than a really good pun? A pun that only you and your nerdy friends can enjoy, leaving all the normies around you scratching their heads and shaking their heads. After all, being weird and having extremely specific and unconventional interests is what sets us apart. We didn't spend hours upon hours learning physics (or, let's be honest, watching a YouTube video about physics) just to miss out on a good Schrödinger's cat joke. Let the normies have their relationship humor a…

Are we on the same wavelength? Because I feel like we are. I feel like I can post a random picture of an outdoor grill shaped like Bender from Futurama, with his hand functioning as a beer holder, and you'll understand why it makes me smile. Or why a guy playing Minecraft on the self-checkout at the supermarket is actually funnier than if he was playing Doom. You get me, right? Sometimes I wonder if I just have a strange sense of humor or if there are others who also find this weird, geeky blen…

Every movie, TV show, and story we love has its archetypes—the heroic adventurer, the grumpy anti-hero, the Idiot dad. These characters are so familiar, so generic, yet they keep us coming back for more. Sometimes, all it takes is a creative genius like Alex Solis to show us the connections we never noticed, revealing what should have been obvious all along. In his brilliant series, Solis imagines our favorite pop-culture icons unmasking themselves to reveal their hidden true identities. From C…

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…
