Some hot takes in here.

Before the world became addicted to 'likes' and compulsively checking incessant notifications, the internet was a vast ocean of interesting websites, strange net art projects, and data experiments. It still is, in fact! Maybe we're just too glued to social media to notice. Thankfully, not everyone has forgotten what a special place the internet can be. @lucyhughes_PR recently created a Twitter thread of 'underrated' websites that deserve appreciation. Delighted by the recommendations, many other

One of the most depressing things about growing up is that you learn how so much of life is about drawing the short straw. The world can be a pretty unfair place, and what's worse is that many of these problems are hiding in plain sight. If you sit down and really think about it, it can seem like the whole thing is one big grift . This seems to be the conclusion of a thread started by @ackocher , which asked about everything that is a scam, but isn't obvious about it. People quickly identified …

Websites are always demanding us to accept their cookies, but what if we don't want any cookies? What are cookies anyway? They're certainly not delicious sweet and buttery treats. They're something invisible and mysterious. Twitter user @wtfjummy recently tweeted, 'I be on websites accepting cookies not even knowing what that is' and we felt that.

It's hard to read someone's emotions through text. In fact, sometimes it's damn near impossible, especially if you're speaking to someone with particularly dry humor. Even the most subtle facial expressions can give us hints about the intention behind words. Without emotional cues, anything said is left up to blind interpretation.

Twitter often feels like wading through a sea of garbage, but sometimes the dreaded bird app delivers comedy gold that makes it all worth it. There have been a handful of 'tweet like X is real' trends, but people tweeting like Pokémon are real might just tie with the Avengers trend for Peak Twitter Award.

The five day work week seems pretty reasonable to us because it's all we've ever known. And before there were laws that protected workers, everyone was unarguably worse off. So why should we complain now? Well, because it's completely sensible to hope for a better world, where people don't have to use what little free time they have to do household work. Of course, not everyone works five days a week. Some people do three long shifts a week, while others have a four-days-on-three-days-off sort o

They both suck, let's be real.

Free money or felony waiting to happen?

There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options: 1. Do nothing, in which case the trolley will kill the five people on the main track. 2. P
