I love looking at old advertisements . They’re like windows through time, allowing us to glimpse the everyday lives of people from the past. What did they like to eat? What did they find appealing? How much did things cost back then? It’s fascinating to see how much has changed, yet how much has stayed the same. I think what strikes me the most while looking through these old ads is the simplicity of their messaging —no flashy gimmicks or complex marketing tactics, just straightforward appeals…

I swear officer, I have no idea how this " Sahnik the porcupine " plushie got in our inventory, I filled out the proper forms, I called Sony myself and got their permission to sell their official Sonic the hedgehog merch, But somehow I got stuck with these 3,500 fake plushies which I sell for 2.99 a pop, 2 for 3.99. What's that? Sonic isn't even a Sony character? Well that would explain why he looks so weird. I mean his hands aren't even the same color, what's up with that? Ok, Ok, calm down, I…

It's hard to believe that the Tom and Jerry cartoons, which originally came out all the way back in 1940, are still as funny and popular today as they were back in the day. They are truly timeless classics . I remember sitting in front of the TV as a kid, laughing hysterically every time Tom got whacked, smacked, zapped, crushed, burnt, or squished into any shape imaginable. It's crazy to think that our grandparents would go to the movies to laugh just as hard at the exact same cartoons, and th…

Personally, I don’t understand the whole “Let me just take a picture of my food before I eat it ” trend. It’s been going on for way too long if you ask me. We used to take pictures of special moments in our lives—meeting family, going out with friends, seeing something out of the ordinary. But your food? I don’t get it. If you look at your grandma’s old photo albums, they’re filled with pictures of her on trips abroad, at family occasions, or holding her newborn grandkids. What would your photo…

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…

Every now and then, an artist comes along and creates something so simple yet so creative , it makes me wonder why no one has ever done it before. I mean, we've all laid on our backs, looking at the clouds overhead, letting our imagination run wild and seeing turtles, cars, dragons, or babies. But for some reason, I've never seen an artist take pictures of clouds and just paint in the missing details. Well, until now. Chris Judge started drawing on clouds during the lockdown in 2020. He took th…

The modern world we live in is just covered in signs . Some just point you in the right direction, some warn you of danger and some are just trying to sell you things you don't really need. So in this modern world that is almost covered in signs, how do you make your sign stand out? well, you can make it bigger than everyone else's or use bolder letters and colors, but there will always be a bigger and bolder sign to take your place. Another thing you can do is be unique, stand out from the cro…

Look, I'm not judging anyone for buying stuff they don't need, god knows I do that a lot. I'm doom scrolling on my phone in the middle of the night and I find myself ordering a replica of the Hoverboard from Back to the Future part 2 that costs way too much. Do I need it? no. Do I want it? Yes! That's just called an impulse buy and I totally get it. But the products on this listicle are just so unnecessary that I can't think of one reason anyone would buy them. I mean, a “pee-stained” designer…

Hark, noble scroller of the digital scrolls ! As thou dost thumb through the vast interwebs, prithee, take a moment to rest thine eyes upon this humble collection. In days of yore, ere smartphones and Wi-Fi signals did conquer the land, jesters and minstrels spun tales and sang songs to entertain the masses. But now, we hath memes – glorious illustrations paired with witticisms that would surely have even the most stoic of knights holding their sides in laughter . Ah, but fear not, for these ar…

Welcome to the wild world of wonky trademarks , where the 'Just Do It' spirit gets a little lost in translation and designer logos take a detour into the absurd. Picture this: you're strolling down the market aisles when you spot something familiar yet unmistakably odd. It's a pair of 'Abibas' sneakers, complete with the iconic three stripes, but just a bit... off. Or maybe it's the 'Specialman' action figure, fighting for justice and the best bargain bin deal. These brand doppelgängers are the…

Some of these are just... No words

We all know sushi is an art form, but Takayo Kiyota takes it to a whole new level. She creates some of the most intricate and detailed sushi designs we’ve ever seen. Granted, some of these creations aren’t exactly bite-sized; in fact, some are quite large. However, they are still crafted using traditional sushi-making techniques. She uses nori (seaweed), rice, and a variety of toppings, which she meticulously arranges before rolling everything together. The real magic happens when she cuts into…

Now, why didn't we think of that?

When I think back to my early days of Dungeons & Dragons, one of my strongest memories is sitting in our makeshift game room, while my brother—the Dungeon Master—worked quietly on our next adventure. The table would be littered with graph paper, dice, and rulebooks, but my focus would inevitably drift toward the stunning art of Jeff Easley . His illustrations seemed to come alive as I flipped through the pages of D&D books, transporting me to otherworldly landscapes filled with powerful wizards…

Cosplay is an art form. Sure, anyone can throw on a costume of their favorite character from pop culture, But some people take the whole thing to the next level . These people spend a lot of time and a lot of money to get their costumes just right. But it's not just about being as close to the original as possible. Sometimes it's all about the idea and execution. I mean, Pulling off a cosplay of Selina Kyle lookin in the mirror and seeing Catwoman is a stroke of genius. But what I find really f…
