Among Baby Boomers, members of the Silent Generation, Generation Xers, and Millennials, and the events that occurred in their lifetimes, those that occurred on September 11, 2001, had one of the most significant impacts on United States history. The sounds, the images, the loss of life, and the acts of heroism witnessed that day make

While there will always be some who question the quality of made-for-TV movies, there can be many hidden gems that are sadly overlooked due to this stigma. Many actors and actresses first featured in made-for-TV movies before their breakout role. One example is Brad Pitt, who had a leading role in the TV film Too

In an era where environmental sustainability is more crucial than ever, the old mantra of “reduce, reuse, recycle” has evolved into innovative lifehacks that turn everyday waste into valuable assets. These creative methods not only help save money but also significantly reduce our ecological footprint, offering a dual benefit that is increasingly important in today’s

You would think that an actor who rose to fame (and enjoyed all the riches) after a major hit television show or movie might remember everything about their experiences on set. But surprisingly, that’s not the case! Acting is a brutal job, with lots of auditions and rejections and plenty of downtime and self-doubt. But

We’re living in a world where technology isn’t just changing—it’s evolving faster than most of us can keep up with. Every day brings something new: a gadget, a system, a whole way of thinking that promises to make life easier. But beneath the surface of these innovations, there’s an undercurrent of unease. It’s not just

Dogs might be man’s best friend, but another place on the podium must surely go to horses. It is hard to argue that any other animal has helped humanity advance as much as them. For around 5,000 years, horses have helped people move heavier payloads over longer distances in a much shorter time than they

The ghosts of grandeur haunt the skeletons of massive structures abandoned across the globe, each telling a tale of faded glory and unfulfilled potential. From colossal hospitals that once echoed with the footsteps of both healers and the ailing to futuristic resorts that never welcomed a single tourist, these giants stand as stark reminders of

Art is most commonly found within—and on—the walls of galleries and museums, but some artworks are placed in nature. A natural setting—be it deep in a forest or in the middle of a desert—can make a piece of art seem extra strange. Just think of the mirrored monoliths that started mysteriously popping up around the

Coffee and the caffeine it contains is the world’s most popular drug. Before heroin, cocaine, or marijuana took the stage, the War on Drugs went after coffee. Ever since its discovery in Ethiopia around AD 800, controversy followed coffee as it made its way north, spreading throughout the Middle East and, from there, around the

Smartphones are, by this point, completely ubiquitous in modern society. Everywhere you go, it feels like you need an app to navigate things from digital tickets gaining entry to games and concerts to the ability to read a menu. QR codes, apps, social media accounts, and even the ever-handy GPS are all available at your

Brazil’s recent ban on X is just the latest example of how governments around the world are cracking down on digital communication. But in a time when information is power, people are finding clever ways to stay connected and speak freely. Some platforms and technologies are designed to outmaneuver censorship, offering safe spaces for communication

As any insider knows, Hollywood is a dog-eat-dog place. With financiers and bullish studios twisting artistry into cold hard dollars, the dreams—and careers—of many an actor are regularly chewed up and spat out. But the few big-screen performers who make it don’t always have the full picture, even at the top of their game. Friends,

Homosexual activity has always carried some level of risk as, if discovered, it was often used as a means to attack those involved. The results of being accused of homosexuality could range from simple mockery to social isolation to legal charges. Throughout history, there have been a number of scandals that were triggered by or

Before motion pictures, plays were the most popular medium of long-form storytelling for live audiences. From ancient Greece to the Renaissance, plays and playwrights have captured the hearts and minds of the masses. Names like Homer and Shakespeare will ring out throughout the ages for their literary prowess. Like any other great nation, America has

Human identity has long been considered to be rooted in our DNA, the unique genetic code that supposedly defines who we are. Yet there are extraordinary cases that challenge this notion, revealing the complexities and mysteries of what truly makes us human. These stories push the boundaries of science and force us to reconsider the

Certain companies are known for having a ruthless reputation when it comes to protecting their intellectual property. Disney and Apple, for instance, are no strangers to sending cease and desist letters to fans and companies for infringing on their copyright. While most C&D orders aren’t particularly noteworthy, here are 10 that are funny, shocking, or

To the ancient Romans, Luna was the goddess of the moon, and often in Roman art, she was shown piloting her horse or oxen-driven, heavenly white chariot in her realm across the sky. The ancient Romans adopted the Greek goddess Selena, who was also depicted driving her chariot and was symbolized by a crescent-shaped moon.

Normal superheroes are usually cut from a recognizable mold. But some creators throw the mold away and create superheroes different than anything we’ve seen before. Sometimes, they’re just ridiculous—like Super President, who somehow juggles running the country and fighting crime without breaking a sweat. Other times, they’re designed to teach us powerful virtues, like Bibleman,

While the Nazis were one of the most awful and destructive forces in the long history of humanity, they were also notable inventors. Surprisingly, Adolf Hitler’s underlings invented quite a few important and major things during their run in Germany and their spread across Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. In this list, we’ll take

As the popularity of gossip magazines and their online counterparts shows, people have an insatiable appetite for celebrity scandals. They also have a strong need to speculate and air their suspicions about those involved. Most of the time, these are things like love affairs. Rarely are they criminal, and rarer still do they involve the

I was going to write about the ten most incredible experiences you can have in South Africa, like stargazing above the numerous shipwrecks littering the coastline, coming face-to-face with a great white shark, or discovering the history of modern humans. But after reading about yet another senseless murder that rocked the country, just 13.7 miles

Actors are among the most protected parts of film sets. Their deliveries bring the characters to life, and the resulting dynamics resonate with audiences worldwide. That appeal can carry a movie or TV series for years. The people onscreen become practically synonymous with the franchise and the joy it provides. That phenomenon makes it awkward

Thalassophobia is the relatively well-known fear of deep bodies of water, but a slightly more niche water-related phobia is submechanophobia, which is a fear of submerged man-made objects. There’s something deeply unsettling about the fact that these objects—be they small statues or large buildings—are underwater where they don’t belong. Plus, over time, aquatic life takes

Losing a child or loved one is an anguish that only those who have experienced it can fully understand. Some dedicate their lives to finding that person. Unfortunately, many never do. Approximately 170,000 people are reported missing every year in the United Kingdom. While most are quickly solved, many missing people vanish, never to be

Humans have pattern-finding brains. If we look at chaos, our brains will try to impose order on what we are seeing and pick out things that we might recognize. As far as we know, people have always liked to look at the stars, so it is understandable that people have always liked to tell stories

We’re only human. Sometimes, we make mistakes; sometimes, we do it right. Historical figures and celebrities are no different from us—they’ve done bad (and some have done A LOT of bad). However, sometimes, these figures, usually viewed as evil, have done a good thing that we never really hear about. Here are some good things

In the tech world, some of the best ideas don’t always make it to the finish line. We’ve seen incredible innovations come and go, not because they weren’t brilliant but because they got lost in the shuffle. Maybe they were a little too ahead of their time, or maybe they just didn’t get the right

Imagine biting into a fruit so rare and exquisite that its price rivals luxury items. These aren’t your typical supermarket finds—they’re the crown jewels of the produce world. Cultivated with care, often in limited quantities, these fruits are prized for their unique flavors and flawless presentation. Their allure transcends taste, symbolizing opulence and exclusivity. They

It may seem like there’s a ton of money to be made in the film industry, but that’s actually not the case. Not always, at least. In many instances, actors stick their necks out to do a movie they are very passionate about or are very inspired to produce, and they come away broke! Forget

People will do whatever it takes to achieve their beauty goals, and there are some crazy products and methods that help consumers reach smoother skin, fewer wrinkles, and perfect makeup. Some high-end beauty products contain ingredients that are unconventional with a promise of working/ However, many don’t realize that some of their everyday cosmetics have
