There’s a reason that every large corporation either has a marketing department, or employs a marketing firm. A brand name is everything, especially when you’re huge, and for an event to sully your good name can lead to some serious and financially-damaging blowback. Some marketing companies are so good that we’ve completely forgotten – or...

People have great imaginations when they really let them loose. Whether we’re fantasizing as a creative outlet, as a way to ease anxiety, or just to imagine a different (perhaps better) life, it’s something that almost everyone does when the world goes quiet around us. If you’re curious what other people like to think about...

Creativity takes so many different forms, but for a large portion of the population (maybe even for almost everyone), it’s a necessary component for a happy life. Whether you like to paint, or knit, or sing, or write – or maybe if consuming media is more your jam – we all need ways to let...

There is a prevalent opinion out there that the only happy people in the world are the ones who really, really love their jobs. If you don’t love your job, you’re toiling away and losing your soul or something, one piece at a time, but for many people, a job isn’t something you have to...

When it comes to buying and selling goods, there are a few ways things can go down in price. You can get a great deal on something that’s expensive to make but sold at a reasonable price (the rarest), you can get something cheap for a cheap price, and it breaks soon after, you can...

I’ve been trying to decide lately why it is that people are so fascinated by true crime stories, and I think there’s something about the depths of human depravity that just draws us. Like, we want to see if there’s a bottom to what we are capable of, maybe, or we want to imagine what...

Say what you will about puns being the easiest type of humor or whatever, but there’s a reason that people love to hate them, don’t you think? We groan, we roll our eyes, but we also chuckle under our breath and probably pass it on at the first opportunity, too. And when we encounter puns...

It’s no secret that scientists and governments around the world have been searching for the best, most feasible, and cheapest ways to replace fossil fuels as our main sources of electricity – in our cars, in our homes, you name it. With recent advancements in solar, it’s certainly looking that’s going to be a super...

If you’re a woman reading the headline to this post, I bet you automatically went on the defensive. I know this because I am a woman, and I do not and will not smile unless I feel like it, and even science had better not try to tell me otherwise. That said, we could all use...

If there’s anything better than a funny meme on the internet it’s a funny history meme – and if there’s anything better than that, it’s a history meme that might actually teach you something. History is the best, and it’s so vast that there’s no way for anyone to know everything – so I really hope these memes...

Even history buffs wish they knew more about history – there is always more to learn, and there are so many topics that are just never brought up. If you’re always up for learning something new and you also like to laugh, history memes are the way to go – and we think these 10...

Memes are good for many things – a laugh, bringing us together, highlighting a moment in time – but we don’t often think about their ability to teach us something. That said, in this day and age of bite-sized everything, it’s not surprising to find our knowledge coming out in the same way – and...

I know, I know – there are so many things to remember to do all day, every day, especially when it comes to technology that seems to constantly be evolving. If you’re concerned about usability and security and the functionality of your bluetooth-enabled devices, though, there’s one more thing to make sure you do every...

Theories about human consciousness are just about as old as recorded human history. Since we have been capable of higher thought, human beings have wondered what it is that sets us apart from our fellow animals – is there something more to us than muscle and bone and electricity, and if so, where does it...

Throughout history, many cultures had a distrust or an outright dislike of witches and witchcraft, but the Puritan age of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries really took things a few steps further. Fueled by a cruel mixture of misogyny and religion, society in the late 15th century was out to accuse and try and...
