"Could do" – Translation: Nope — VeryBritishProblems (@SoVeryBritish) April 30, 2016 There are plenty of things America loves about the Brits – Kate Middleton, Downton Abbey, Damian Lewis – and plenty it still doesn’t understand. ‘Having a fag’, for example, means to smoke a cigarette. But followers of every Brit’s favorite Twitter account @SoVeryBritish will no longer have this problem. The brilliant account is called ‘Very British Problems’ and it does…
The startup that aims to create an online database of cyberbullies tied to their personal information has ignited an internet fight of epic proportions. The latest is on unlikely grounds. Social Autopsy’s founder, Candace Owen, has accused self-proclaimed anti-harassment advocates, Zoe Quinn and Randi Lee Harper, of cyber terrorism. Meanwhile, Gamergaters, who loathe both women, are just sitting back and gleefully watching the fireworks. Watching ZQ & Randi get rekt…I need more…
When allegations surfaced online recently that fired Nintendo employee Alison Rapp had been moonlighting as a call girl, the mainstream media instinctively blamed Gamergate. For those not in the loop, Gamergate is an online movement fighting for better ethics in gaming journalism and against gaming censorship that is dogged by criticism that its worst members harass women game developers. For many big media companies tracking the Rapp case, Gamergate became the obvious…
VHS tapes can burn in hell. While they were the technological marvel of their time, they’re pretty atrocious in a world that now has Netflix. Surprisingly though, you’d be a fool to throw them away, since some can be worth close to $2,100. Love Antiques has compiled a list of the most valuable VHS tapes that might be stashed away in your basement. Most of them were quickly banned after…
Imagine being 18 years old. You’re reasonably slender, you have the blonde good looks popular culture loves, you have sufficient vocal chops to pass for a singer (thanks, autotune!) and a quirky, edgy, but not threatening persona to go along with those things. And then you meet one of the most astonishingly successful producers on the planet. And he signs you to a multimillion dollar album deal with Sony. He’s…
How many of you have been to a friend’s house and kicked off your shoes only for them to ask you to put your shoes back on again? It’s not because they don’t shower — I mean, some people don’t shower as often as they should. Even so, people that don’t shower often might not have stinky feet. Someone actually spent time to find out why. But first, a little…
One hungover Saturday morning, somewhere between a Netflix binge and consuming a leftover slice of pizza, I began to wonder what it’d be like to drive for Lyft or Uber. ‘Imagine all of the crazy stories that my drivers have heard! Are people as awkward as me? Oh god, what would it be like to be on the other side of my drunken ride home? Woof. What a mess.’ I…
I am not the first (and even not the tenth) person giving blockchain an unreserved vote of confidence, but let me explain my reasoning. Global banks join the party More than 20 world’s leading banks started collaborating with distributed ledger startup R3 CEV in 2015.

The hashtag #MediaGate is gleefully tracking the sheer number of media outlets who got sucked into the “men’s rights activists are boycotting Mad Max” hoax, which originated in a post at Return of Kings by economist Aaron Clarey. If you click on the “about” tag of Return of Kings, which many, many reporters did, since they quote a sentence directly from the tab, you will observe something rather curious. The…

I’d seen wrestling before, but it never really made an impact on me until WrestleMania IV. I can’t imagine what my life would be like had I not decided to head over to Tommy O’Malley’s place that fateful day when “Macho Man” Randy Savage went over “The Natural” Butch Reed, One Man Gang, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, and “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase to win his first WWE (then…
Every second adds up, especially over the course of a human lifetime. The life expectancy in America is currently 78.6 years. Divide that up, and this is how the average person spends their lifetime. You spend 25 years sleeping. You work for 10.3 years. The average American works 40 hours a week from ages 20-65. You spend 48 days having sex. A recent survey found that during the average sex…
Back in September of 2011, a user named selco joined the forums at SurvivalistBoards.com and posted “my shtf expirience-wartime,” a thread that would since become legendary in survivalist communities and beyond (you frequently see people reference it to this day on sites such as 4chan and reddit). In it, selco details his experience of living in a besieged Bosnian town of 50 to 60k people during the Bosnian War (1992-1995).…
