History

I’m the first person to admit to being a huge history nerd, and I’ve gotta say…I’m not that embarrassed about it, either. History is interesting, it’s fun, and most importantly, once you’ve studied enough of it you can validate your depression because you can see exactly how our current society is hurtling toward destruction. Fun,...

When you hear a word like “megalodon” to describe an animal, ancient or not, you’re probably picturing something – in this case, a shark – that’s really, really big. Just how big megalodon likely was, though, really only comes into a clear focus when we compare it to things we’re relatively sure of the size of...

People sure do get worked up over names, don’t they? And it’s kind of weird (to me, at least) when people get worked up over names that DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM. And that’s exactly what happened here. A man shared his story on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page about an interaction...

There are many things that don’t fit in those survival sort of categories that it turns out the people in charge don’t want...

Things sure do move fast, huh? One minute you’re playing Atari and the next minute the Atari’s out the window and you have a Nintendo. And then a Sega Genesis. And on and on it goes. My point is that things are always changing and some things just fall by the wayside. AskReddit users talked...

I remember when I got my first Nintendo. My brother and I BEGGED my parents for it for a few months and boom! There it was under the tree on Christmas day. And you know what? I never, ever upgraded. I never got another gaming system ever again in my whole life. Which was fine...
