Simply put, Dan Tanenbaum‘s work is gorgeous. The Toronto-based artist utilizes old watch parts and makes incredible “steampunk“-inspired art pieces. A lot of Tanenbaum’s creations are miniature motorcycles, but, as you’ll see in these photos, he makes plenty of other one-of-a-kind objects as well. Take a look at these, you’ll be blown away. 1. A...

It’s no secret that homelessness is a major problem, both in the United States and around the globe. In every major city – and even in a lot of medium-sized and smaller towns – you’re bound to see the unfortunate sight of homeless people sleeping on the streets. Some cities have chosen to help fight...

“The Master of Horror” just turned 72 years old the other day, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. I think it’s safe to say that Stephen King has had one of the best careers in the history of books. His first novel Carrie was published in 1974, and he’s been on a roll ever since....

Be careful what you wish for…because the truth might terrify you. We live in a world rife with conspiracy theories about all things big and small. But based on these responses about real, declassified government documents, maybe we should be freaking out more than we already are. AskReddit users shared the declassified documents that really...

Aren’t kids just ADORABLE? Well, at least some of the time they are. Other times? Maybe not so much… Parenthood is a constant tug-of-war with the little humans you’ve brought into the world, and, if you have kids, you know that there is a lot of hilarity involved on a day-to-day basis. And here are...

Do you keep a lot of secrets from your parents? Things that you just think they’re better off not knowing? Maybe they’re little white lies or maybe they’re big, explosive, dark secrets that would shatter their world. AskReddit users went on the record and revealed what dear old mom and dad don’t know about them....

If you played with toys as a kid, then you probably played with those famous little green Army men at one point or another – especially if you’re a male. But the Army men toy game was recently turned on its head when BMC Toys, the company that manufactures those little green guys, received a...

Let’s face the facts: there’s no escaping Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) season at Starbucks. It’s a national phenomenon, and people are obsessed with it. And now it’s time to add another Starbucks drink to the list of seasonal favorites. I’m talking about the “Cinderella Latte,” and you better act fast because these concoctions will be available...

If you’ve been in a bit of rut, let’s put an end to that RIGHT THIS INSTANT! You know why? And you know how? Because of this stellar fact set! It covers all kinds of topics and it will give you a big BOOST. Let’s dig into these facts. 1. Get busy, over 50 folks!...

We already know how a lot of people in this country feel about Target: They’re obsessed with shopping there (and just walking around and browsing there, too, apparently). So it’s pretty smart for the chain to start a loyalty program because you know, just like I do, that you’re going to spend about $100 in there...

We’re not all blessed with nice families or law-abiding parents who make it a point to teach us right from wrong at a young age. Some people grow up in households with less-than-adequate moms and dads – or even with parents who are criminals and instill bad habits in them from the very beginning. In...

It’s often hard to determine how long products are good for. Even though they have an expiration date on the packaging, how long should you keep things in your home before they begin to break down and deteriorate? A lot of common household items can be hazardous to your health if you keep them around...

For me, this show is very exciting. I’ve been seeking out true crime locations since I was in high school, and if I’m in a new city I always try to visit the sites of infamous crimes. Messed up? Maybe. But moving on… It Was Bound to Happen: A True-Crime Home Renovation Show Is Coming It was...

We all know we produce WAY too much waste and garbage, and that’s why this is some very welcome news. Lately, we’ve been seeing a wave of huge companies try to ditch plastic in one way or another, and now KitKat is getting in on the action as well. Nestlé owns the iconic candy brand,...

Tread lightly around these doggos because they’re obviously vicious killers who will take no mercy on your sorry soul. And they’re behind those “Beware of Dog” signs for a reason, as you’ll see shortly. You might end up losing a finger or even your whole arm if you try to approach them, so KEEP YOUR DISTANCE....
