I remember it like it was yesterday. It must’ve been about 1984 when my older brother Rich got a Walkman for Christmas. I was mesmerized by it. Of course, I wasn’t allowed to touch it, but I did admire it from afar until I got my own a few years later and started amassing a...

The beauty that directors of photography (DPs) are able to capture with a camera can leave a lasting impression on people – sometimes, it’s the imagery more than the plot that sticks with viewers forever. Folks in the Buzzfeed Community shared the scenes that really took their...

Love can be tough stuff – it’s not all honeymooning around. If you’ve ever experienced a bad breakup, you know what I’m talking about. Fighting, pettiness, non-stop arguing. It’s no fun at all. And I think it’s safe to assume that all of these people are no longer friends anymore. Not by a long shot....

Writing can be a tough gig. Always wracking your brain to come up with something interesting or witty to say. Hitting that inevitable bout of writer’s block at one point or another. But it’s also a lot of fun, and anyone who gets to write for a living would probably say the same thing. If...

Lera Kiryakova is a Russian artist with a unique style and specialty. She draws celebrities in a cartoon fashion, and they are truly one-of-a-kind. Kiryakova started drawing with pen and ink, but she has moved on to oil, watercolors, markers, and anything else you can imagine – she’s a multi-media gal! Take a look at...

We’re so close… But for some of us, horror season is a year-round obsession. And if you’re like me, you’re gonna love these jokes about all things creepy and scary. 1. Michael Myers is actually...

Ahhhh, the people of Generation X. We had good music, good movies, good TV shows, etc. But good taste? Well… Hey, Gen X includes me, so I’m allowed to laugh and mock it all I want. A Twitter user threw out this question and the Twitter-verse went all aflutter with great responses. What’s the most...

If you’ve used any of the following Android apps, you’ll probably want to get busy erasing them AND you’ll want to check your credit card statement. Here’s why. A new malware called “Joker” has made its way into Android apps that ended up in the Google Play store. The malware silently signs users up for subscriptions...

The second season on Netflix’s hit show Mindhunter dropped in August and fans are pretty happy about how the new episodes turned out. The show is based on true events surrounding how the FBI established their behavioral science unit in the 1970s to study serial killers and other murderers. In real life, as in the show, the...

It’s long been debated whether intermittent fasting is good for us. Is it worth the hunger? Are there any actual health benefits from doing it? Over the years, some people have claimed that this method has helped with rheumatoid arthritis and other ailments. Studies have also shown that intermittent fasting has improved multiple sclerosis in...

I know fast food isn’t great for you (or me), but that doesn’t mean you (and I) still don’t love it! Just in moderation, right? Or something like that… Anyway, we all have our favorite fast food joints, but do you know where their names come from? Let’s take a look and find out! 1. Whataburger...

Now you can be just like George Costanza and sleep under your desk while you’re at work! But with this gadget, you’ll be a little more comfortable than he was in that classic episode of Seinfeld. As someone who used to occasionally sleep in their car during lunch breaks, I wholly approve of this product. The...

Unless you are blind or someone you are close to is, you probably don’t give a whole lot of thought to how blindness affects people – how difficult certain chores and tasks might be. And that includes hobbies and fun as well, especially for kids. A young blind man named Matthew Shifrin remembers how difficult...

Did you know that there are a whole bunch of body parts you can sell? We’re not talking about an arm and a leg here, but instead, things that you can sell and still get on with your day (and your life). Take a look at this list; you might be surprised. And you might...
