  • 15 most legendary Reddit threads of all time From a guy running the same Civ game for 10 years, to another guy borking his mother, we have something to suit your taste.

    Reddit is one of the largest content aggregation platforms out there, with hundreds of thousands of users and communities. And while Reddit has seen a decline in quality due to its attempts to become PC-compliant, there are still some gold nuggets along the way. But I don’t recommend anybody sifting through the garbage on Reddit just to find a good thread, so that’s why I’ve compiled the best moments for you right here. These are the 10 most legendary Reddit threads of all time. Warning: gets somewhat NSFW later on.

  • How to write a killer essay The pen is mightier than the sword, but it's useless if you don't wield it right.

    The pen is mightier than the sword, but it’s useless if you don’t wield it right. Great writing takes practice – a lot of it – and you need to have the insight to know which skills and techniques to work on. Nobody is expecting you to write like Mark Twain, but in a world of 6.5 billion literate people, the standards keep going higher. The best time to start learning is, of course, yesterday. …or you can keep spending money on “write my essay for me” type services to have the experts do your work, which is what the rich kids are doing. Whether you’re writing an essay for…

  • 15 damn near impossible to beat video games Challenge is what makes video games fun, but everybody has a different barometer for what's hard and what's complete bullshit. Let's explore the BS part of the spectrum.

    We’ve all had those moments where we rage quit a game that seems nearly impossible to beat and go back to casual games. Sometimes you just need more practice, and other times you might need to level up. But there are some games that are undeniably difficult no matter how you slice it, and the internet is full of angry anecdotal evidence for it. Challenging gameplay is precisely what makes video games fun, but everybody has a different barometer for what’s acceptably hard and what’s complete and utter bullshit. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer up for the challenge, and here’s a list of hard games for you if you are, or…

  • The new rules: writing effective essays in the modern college A pragmatic approach that takes into account both student and institutional weaknesses.

    Making the transition from high school to college is tough on most students. Modern high schools only provide you with the most rudimentary knowledge, and the sudden jump in difficulty is accompanied by a shipwrecking on a strange learning island with entirely new life circumstances and unexplored freedoms and challenges. But for now, we’ll only deal with how to write effective essays that will get you ahead of the curve. This requires a pragmatic approach and going beyond all the already ample material on writing tips and citation styles. We take into account the dreaded P-word: politics. So let’s get to our strategies on how to write stellar college essays…

  • 10 serial killers caught for the stupidest reasons If you're thinking of asking the task force trying to catch you if it's safe to send them the floppy disk you used to keep personal files on, read this first.

    Serial killers are hunted by the finest detectives and law enforcement agencies in the world, and it’s only a matter of time until a tiny error or oversight leads to the capture. But those errors – seen in hindsight or not – are sometimes pretty damn stupid. Dennis “the BTK killer” Rader Between the years of 1974 and 1991, Dennis Rader murdered 10 people in Sedgwick County, Kansas. He was known as the BTK killer for his murder M.O.: bind, torture, kill.

But what do people really know about dementia? What could we expect from our first person of dementia at the desk in the Oval Office? You could of course look up the wikipedia article and find out it’s “a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long-term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is severe enough to affect daily functioning.” You may already have the correct notion that Alzheimer’s disease is one of the…

    It seems like there isn’t anything that the political left and right can agree on any more. But according to a survey done by WhoIsHostingThis, there is one thing they do agree on: trolls are the most annoying people on the internet. When asked to pick the five most annoying people online, a majority – roughly 53% – picked trolls. And with that, we can all march into the sunset singing Kumbaya. Or we could if it weren’t for the other 47% of the people who probably are the internet trolls – based on our non-scientific estimate that there just seem to be a lot of trolls on the internet.…

  • r/InstagramReality is the best subreddit for all the wrong reasons Looking like an IG model isn't easy, and many choose to cheat. And they really, really suck at it.

    It’s not easy to look like a model in photos. There’s always something off about your face—your nose is too big, there’s blemishes on parts of your forehead you didn’t know existed. Are you frowning or do you just have a resting bitch face? That’s not a good look. Maybe you’re just not a model, like the 99% of the rest of humanity. But with the popularity of Instagram at an all time high, there’s a lot of pressure to look like the person you imagine yourself to be—or perhaps even someone you wish you looked like, but don’t. To that end, many narcissistic, self-obsessed people have taken to modifying…
