Reddit user ska2oosh posed a question that’s been debated in countless online forums: “Who is a strong female protagonist done right?” And as usual, Reddit delivered with a mix of the expected staples and some pleasantly surprising choices. Of course, Princess Leia and Ellen Ripley made the list—because what’s a conversation about iconic women in fiction without mentioning the Rebel leader and the Xenomorph slayer ? But this thread went deeper, shining a spotlight on some unsung heroines and un…

I like Star Wars, but I also like Star Trek, and of course Harry Potter, and Marvel, and also DC Comics, and Lord of the Rings , and Game of Thrones, and Doctor Who, and Dungeons and Dragons, and obviously The Witcher, but also Pokémon, and Zelda, and Super Mario, but also Dragon Ball, and Naruto, and Stranger Things, and I like The Mandalorian, and Battlestar Galactica, and let's not forget Firefly, and Halo. I also enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Matrix…

You know what’s hilarious? The irony of dad jokes . When we were kids, every groan-worthy pun or cheesy one-liner our dads cracked was met with the most dramatic eye roll we could muster. And yet, here we are today, as parents, proudly dishing out the same terrible jokes to our own kids. Why? Because deep down, we always thought they were funny! The cringe wasn’t about the jokes—it was about who was telling them. Admit it, you’re still rolling your eyes when your own dad pulls out another "clas…

You know that moment when you try your absolute best to cook something and think, "Well, it’s not exactly a masterpiece, but it’s edible"? That’s kind of how I approach life in general. It’s not perfect, but it’s holding together… mostly. Do I eat vegetables every day? Not unless French fries count. Do I work out regularly? Sure, if you consider walking to the fridge “cardio.” Do I have a 5-year plan? No, but I did remember to pay my internet bill this month, so we’re calling that a win. To eve…

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!
