The original idea for a title for this listicle was " Don't overthink about the title, Don't overthink about the title " Which we found funny and witty but then we realized not everyone will understand what this listicle is about, so we changed it to "We tried not to overthink about the title to this listicle but we did it anyway" But we thought it was just a lesser version of the original idea and it still didn't convey what this listicle was about. So then we changed it to "This listicle was…

Nerdiness is a hell of a drug . Once you try one science fiction movie and like it, it's impossible to stop. One of your friends suggests you give Star Wars a try, and a week later, you are binge-watching Battlestar Galactica and buying Star Trek Funko Pops. You read one chapter of Lord of the Rings, and you suddenly find yourself knee-deep in a Dungeons and Dragons session with a bunch of sweaty, role-playing nerds . Also, your very definition of what is cool changes completely. You used to th…

There’s something endlessly fascinating about Disney villains—they’re bold, memorable, and somehow manage to steal the spotlight from the heroes. But before these iconic characters ever graced the screen, they started as sketches and ideas on an artist’s drawing board. From the terrifyingly sleek Maleficent to the larger-than-life Ursula, Disney villains went through some dramatic transformations from concept art to final film design, and seeing those changes side-by-side is like watching the m…

say "what" again

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…

Resistance to these memes is futile

You know that moment when you clean your house and think, "Welp, that's the best I can make it look. It's not much, but at least it looks acceptable "? Well, for some people (like me), it's the same for life in general—it's not much, but at least it looks acceptable at a glance. Am I good at my job? No, but they haven't fired me. Am I close to getting married? No, but I did go on a date six months ago. Am I able to do my taxes on my own? No, but at least I'm not in jail! (Yet. ) So, to all the…

The world is full of unforgettable villains, and one Redditor recently asked a compelling question: Which fictional villain do you feel a bit of compassion for, and why? The thread quickly filled with responses, ranging from thoughtful explanations to some unexpectedly sympathetic choices. Many people felt for the eternally unlucky Wile E. Coyote, whose endless efforts always seem to end in disaster. Others mentioned Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb , with his hilariously tragic backstor…

Spoiler alert: he dies.

Time stops for no one, not even for the rich and famous. One day you are a teenager goofing around in front of the camera in your parents living room, and the next moment you are one of the richest people on earth. One second you are nervous about taking your yearbook photo and the next you have become a rock and roll legend. It's fun to look back at old pictures of famous people and see them as they were before their life had become something else entirely. A young Martha Stewart posing for a…

This listicle is so Punny!

I'll be honest with you - I don't have a single tattoo on my body. It's not that I have anything against inking; I actually love tattoos and find them interesting, creative, and beautiful. The reason I don't have one (or two or thirteen) is because I am scared. Not scared of the pain or of being disappointed with the final result (although I am not thrilled about those aspects either). No, what I am scared of is outgrowing my tattoos. The fact is that I am not the same person I was thirty years…

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…

There are two kinds of scary Halloween costumes: the “I’m dressed as a serial killer or a monster, and you must be afraid of me” kind, and the “Oh god, why is that baby mask looking into my soul? I will never sleep again” kind. I have always found that costumes not intended to scare me are much creepier than those that are obviously trying to frighten me. It seems that in the past, ALL costumes fell into the first category. I personally remember how in the '80s, every kid's mask during Hallowee…

We're not so different, you and I (well, maybe not specifically you , but you know what I mean). We all live inside our heads, thinking that our brains somehow function differently than everyone else’s, but in the end, we’re all made of the same stuff and share pretty much the same reality. A lot of the thoughts we believe to be unique or strange are actually things many of us experience every day. And nothing makes you feel seen quite like realizing other people share those little quirks, emba…
