At this point, you probably have a working understanding of what bitcoins are (at the very least your handle of bitcoins is like how you can kinda, sorta explain why the sky is blue to a child). But how does an actual transaction with bitcoins work? That's a bit more complicated. Read More >>

The humble router is your gateway to the internet. Everything you do on your home broadband connection goes through it, and if it's playing up it breaks your internet. In fact, if yours is anything like mine, it cocks up much more than it should. Maybe that's because they've barely changed in the last 25 years. Read More >>

At this point, you're almost weirder if you don't use any social networks than if you were a social media obsessive who tweets, Facebooks, Instagram and hashtags the hell out of your vocabulary. It's how weird the world is now. Social networks are real life. But who are the people who make up these worlds? If there are 12 personality types in social networks, which one are you? Read More >>
Ever wonder how the time travel theories in one movie line up with every other movie about time travel? Here's a pretty great flowchart that susses out exactly which type of of temporal chaos a movie wreaks. Although even with this thing, I still don't know what the heck was going on in Twelve Monkeys.

What do you think the most popular filter on Instagram is? Valencia for a little fade? Kelvin for photographical equivalent of spray on tans? Maybe Earlybird? Can #NoFilter be considered a filter? But even more than filter popularity, what do using specific filters say about you? This infographic explains. Read More >>
The golden arches holds a special place in most Westener's hearts (or waistlines). The Big Mac, the Chicken Nuggets, the French Fries—they're all in your face delicious and define McDonald's better than Ronald ever could. But McDonald's overseas get to enjoy more than just the ordinary greatness, they have wonderful menu items like poutine and green tea McFlurrys and Spam and spaghetti too. Read More >>
Alcohol is supposed to be simple: whisky, whisky, and more whisky. Maybe some gin. Tequila if you want to party. Fine, vodka too. But alcohol doesn't have to always be so boring. The sugary world of flavoured party shots can be fun! Or at the very least, be super colourful. Read More >>
When I hear that someone died in some freak accident that involves fireworks or pavements or parked cars or wild animals, I wonder to myself, what the hell are the odds of that freaking happening? The good thing? They're pretty high! The bad thing? It really, really sucks for that poor soul who's 1 in 50,729,141 to die from fireworks or 1 in 25,364,571 to die from a bee sting. Read More >>

Apparently 007 costs us Brits quite a bit, especially as nothing he uses seems to survive longer than 10 minutes (remember that poor BMW Z8 that got cut in half?). Q's budget must be absolutely enormous. Read More >>
What's the biggest difference between food back in the 1950's and today? Portion size. According to the CDC, meals are four times bigger now compared to what they once were and as a result, people are 26 pounds heavier. Yeesh! No wonder we're all so fat. Read More >>
