Panorama photos, or photos with an elongated field of view, used to be much more difficult to take. If you wanted a panorama of the Paris skyline, for example, you would have to take several individual photos and stitch them together, lining up all the tiny details. Painstaking and frustrating, but impressive when it’s done well. But with...
When you become a father, you might as well be given a uniform. For some reason, having children causes all males of a certain age to begin dressing the same. For example, the Standard Summertime Dad Uniform: white New Balance sneakers, calf-high socks, cargo pants/jorts, a t-shirt obtained on a vacation to a Disney park, a fanny pack, and a...
As adults, most of us can remember a moment in our childhoods that shaped who we are today. For example, one time my dad’s car got stuck in the snow and he had to leave my sister and I behind to get help. I was cold, but my sister was colder, and so I gave her my jacket. Even today, I can’t be comfortable if I know someone else is...
Many therapists will tell you not to let the small stuff bother you. That you should “let it go.” Continuing to dwell on life’s little injustices doesn’t change anything, and only serves to prolong your anger. And so, by letting go, you liberate yourself from unhealthy feelings. But come on. Complaining about jerks brings...
I can’t believe I even have to cover this, but here we are. Loading a dishwasher is one of the easiest things you can do. When you Google “How to load a dishwasher,” what should happen is that Google simply laughs at you. Luckily, Google is nice enough to give you thousands of examples of properly loaded dishwashers, many with...
If you’re a company, a surefire way to anger a large portion of the general public is to release a product that’s needlessly gendered. Pepsi learned this lesson the hard way last year when they introduced the notorious Lady Doritos, a quieter snack chip for women who don’t want to draw attention to themselves with loud crunching....
Marriage isn’t easy, and the statistics support this. According to the American Psychological Association, 40 to 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce. These divorces don’t happen spontaneously. Often the seeds of a divorce are sown long before it happens, possibly even before the couple gets married. And while the two people in a...
A thrift store is one of the more underrated kinds of stores. Unlike your Wal-Mart’s or your Costco’s, a thrift store gets their inventory entirely for free thanks to the generosity of the public. This means that your average thrift store can put pretty much anything on their shelves without worrying if people will actually buy it....
Even the most diehard movie goer would have to admit that movies get things wrong. Quite often, in fact! Sometimes, you only notice these movie plot holes after the fact. Like when you’re just getting home from the theater and realize the bad guy’s evil plan was entirely based on several unlikely coincidences. There’s even a name...
The modern Internet is pretty much entirely built on social media accounts for cute pets. If the likes of Doug the Pug or Winston the Corgi were to suddenly stop posting, the Internet, and by extension the global economy would grind to a halt. But if you’ve ever followed one of these pet accounts, maybe you’ve felt like the dog or cat...
