As adults, a lot of what we learned in history class has disappeared into the ether, or has become blurry, muddled by our very own hectic timeline. To make things more complicated, we learn about the past in a way that is very much centered on the places we've grown up in and call home. This type of tunnel vision can make the overlapping of eras seem pretty damn unbelievable. For example, unless you've seen or read The Last Samurai , it may seem surprising that samurai were around during the Ci…

Kids are built different. Not just in terms of size. Their brains are uninhibited in a way that makes for increased creativity, sweetness, and, of course, humor. While their unintentionally funny moments are our favorites, sometimes, when prompted, they can really bring the gold. Twitter user George Pointon , who admits in his bio that he exploits children for likes, asked a group of six-year-olds to pitch him some new film ideas. They came through in a way that should make Hollywood feel asham…

It might not take much to wow our tiny brains, but we think that these two hundred and eighty character tidbits deserve some a whole lot of love.

That's because tweeting is a very specific skill that involves packing a lot of bunch into some seriously small parameters. Brevity behooves you in the Twitter-verse. For some prime examples of how to do the Twitter thing right, we've fou…

Non-fungible tokens are nothing new—the first-known NFT is believed to have been minted in 2014. But the cultural obsession with NFTs did really ramp up until recently, thanks to a number of celebrities deciding they want a piece of the virtual pie. NFT naysayers believe this unwholesome marriage between celebrities and the cringe crypto world is further proof that every day we stray further from God's light, and you better believe the Internet's anti-NFT army puts up a fight whenever a celeb d…

Another day, another bad Twitter take. It's amazing how confident some people are when expressing incredibly dumb opinions. Today's winner of the bold stupidity prize is Paul Hünermund , an assistant professor in Copenhagen, Denmark. You never see old people in the streets of NYC. In Copenhagen you do. It's a real city, not just some romcom dream for 20-somethings. — Paul Hünermund (@PHuenermund) February 5, 2022 Hünermund managed to piss off a whole lot of Twitter users from the Big Apple with…

People love to bash writers of snarky receipt notes. But some people think this customer was in the right.

Everyone knows that food delivery drivers are some of the most underpaid gig workers in the industry. Many drivers end up earning less than minimum wage. And on top of that, delivering food while navigating apps can be dangerous business. In 2021, The New York Times reported on a survey of delivery drivers facilitated by the Worker Institute at Cornell University. The survey revealed that "42% of workers had experienced being underpaid or not paid at all. Nearly half said they had crashed while…

Just why

Sucks to be him

People were less than impressed

D'oh

It's all about practicality
