Zoo visitors are sharing their screens with the big apes and it is turning them into addicted, mindless zombies

You know that terrible feeling? When you go to see a movie based on one of your favorite book series ? You try not to get your hopes up, but deep down, you're telling yourself the story is so good, there’s no way they can mess it up. Big mistake. The movie starts, and right away, something feels off. Not only do the main characters look and sound nothing like they did in your head, but the whole vibe is wrong. Why is everything so… real? And what’s with the background music? There was no music…

What happens if you freeze a coconut? The water inside expands, causing it to crack open! What happens if you leave a container of Play-Doh sealed for over a decade? It develops crystals! What happens when you put blue food coloring in white roses’ water? The rose turns blue! These are just a few examples of the weird and interesting questions on this list. Have I ever wondered what develops at the bottom of a maple syrup bottle left in the fridge for years? No! Do I want to know the answer? Ab…

I would have made a wonderful scientist if I could only do math, understand complex ideas, concentrate for several hours and, in general, just be smarter. This might sound like a joke but I really believe that. I feel like I have a real passion for science, but I lack the actual tools a person needs to be a scientist. It's all nice and well to retain your natural curiosity into your adulthood, which is absolutely one of the requirements for being a scientist, but it's nothing if you cant sit do…

I don't have a tattoo, not even one. I've had tons of cool ideas and designs for tattoos , but I always tell myself to wait a year or two and see if I still think it's worth putting on my skin. And guess what? So far, none of them have made the cut. I don't know if it's because I am constantly evolving as a person or because of the truth—I am too scared and not cool enough to actually do it (Pretty sure it's the first one). Anyway, most people take their tattoos very seriously. They plan them,…

Cosplayers are the lifeblood of geek conventions. Sure, you come for the merch, the panels, the exclusive announcements (and the free swag, of course), but it’s the cosplayers that truly bring these events to life, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a parallel dimension. Cosplay was much simpler when it first began—people would buy pre-made costumes of their favorite characters or cobble together something basic themselves. Today, however, it’s an incredible, well-developed art form . Som…

Way before the rise of the hipsters there were nerds . Although not as smug and, frankly obnoxious as hipsters, nerds tend to say things that only they, and a small group of other people with the same interests would understand. The are the originators of the "Umm.. actually" phrase, that only exist to differentiate between those who know and those who do not, in fact, know. "Oh, you don't know what Avogadro's number is? No, you probably never heard of it, why would you? Than you will probably…

With the rise of AI-generated art, the “X reimagined in the style of Y” genre has become saturated. Anyone can use ChatGPT or MidJourney to generate images of, say, Star Wars characters in the style of Studio Ghibli or realistic-looking Pokémon , and the results would be… satisfactory. The AI is great at giving exactly what we ask for, but nothing more. Does it look good? Yes. Is it impressive that a computer can do it? Absolutely! But it lacks the “wow factor” that a human artist can deliver.…

These are some Page-turning memes

A delightful dose of double-take

You know what they say about interior design - it's all fun and games until someone sticks a toilet in the living room. Designing a home should be like a harmonious dance, each choice flowing into the next, creating a seamless ballet of beauty and function. Instead, it seems some have taken their steps from a hokey-pokey playbook! While we acknowledge that design is a collective effort, involving architects, decorators, and sometimes eccentric homeowners , one has to wonder: at which meeting di…

My mom was a really good cook, she would make us mouth watering meals on a daily basis and I was always excited when she would call us to come and eat. But since I was growing up during the 80s, every now and then she would see a strange new recipe in the paper or in some weird cookbook and she would decide to make us stuff like ‘Chicken wings in cola’ or “Tuna and olive pasta” and we would collectively smile and eat quietly, trying not to hurt her feelings, but she could tell. For some reason…

I can't help it, I love terrible puns and dad jokes . In fact, The worst they are the more I laugh. I don't even think it's the wordplay itself that makes me laugh, it's the fact that someone would sit down and write a wordplay so bad - that's what funny to me. Combine that with these cheesy stock images and the circle of cringe is complete. Well, this time I have for you a collection of terrible puns and dad jokes all revolving around doctors, hospitals and medicine in general. I find these jo…

Whatch'a looking at?

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…

Buying a new phone or a new computer will always cost a pretty penny but I don't think we appreciate how good we have it today, relative to how things were back when home computing just started. Computers back then were considered a luxury and they cost accordingly. Don't let the prices you see in these ads fool you. At first you look at an ad to a home computer going for 4,495 dollars and you say to yourself “Yes, that's not cheap but it isn't that bad” well, you are not taking inflation into…
