Educational Documentary I saw this documentary about how messed up the school systems are, and as an example, they used this algebra teacher that was trying his hardest to get fired. If he got fired, he’d get his full salary and benefits but if he quit, he wouldn’t get squat. So he decided […]
Unintended Mind Control
Hobby Shop I found this used electronic shop downtown. They had a bunch of old kits, and what looked like some homemade gadgets that didn’t seem to have any indication what this was. I asked the guy behind the counter, and he didn’t know what this was either. His dad had opened […]
They’re In Your Brain
Angry Genius There was this really intelligent engineer that absolutely hated his job. He didn’t hate his job directly, he hated his job indirectly.

They reported that up to 40% of people were dependent on the Internet to understand how complete basic house hold tasks. They couldn’t do simple tasks like fixing a leaky faucet, […]
Deadly Hidden Costs
Tiny House There are some miniature houses you can buy from Amazon. So long as you’ve got the land, you can order a house, they’ll ship it to you, and you can put it together in a couple of days. You do need to have some land to put it on, and a […]
Nested Campfire Games
College Party When I was in college my friends and I like to go car camping quite a bit, mainly to sit around the campfire and play games and tell stories. One game in particular was really enjoyable, but it required that only about half of the people knew the rules. You’d have […]
Social Status Death Trends
