I genuinely don’t understand why people get so passionate over cars, vehicles, and automobiles. All they do is take you from point one to point two. Honestly, it’s tiring to have to feign interest for people who bought a new model of a car you see everywhere. It’s a car. What honestly makes a Ferrari…

I wish I could say a baby is made when love is involved, but this isn’t true. Babies are also created during acts of lust, violence, oppression, and anger. Babies are made, fundamentally, when semen penetrates the shield eggs fortify themselves with. It may not stop teenage pregnancy, but it may prevent women from ever…

It all started in Clermont-Ferrand, central France, in 1889, when brothers, Andre and Edouard Michelin, were fuelled by a vision to enhance the French automobile industry, a time when fewer than 3,000 cars in the country existed, and founded their eponymous tire company. To help motorists identify the best rubber to drive on, the Michelin…

Throughout global history, men have discovered or uncovered answers to a multitude of existential questions. “What is Earth?” “Why are we stuck on Earth?” “Why is Earth filled with humans?” “How to eradicate humans?” These are just some of the most popular questions us hominids hold over our existence. But, without these philosophers, scientists, engineers,…

The N-word, we know not to use it. We know the history behind it. We know the damage it can do to one’s psyche. It’s not illegal to say, though. The only thing stopping you from using it is the social implication of what it turns you into—or having your head thrown around like a…

“Do you know martial arts,” the man asks me while at the bar. I smile and tell him “No, I don’t.” As if I had just spoken to him in another language, the man blankly stared at me as if I just told him I wasn’t actually human. Here’s the thing. I absolutely know I…

Millennials: what a bunch of bastards. They’re doing their damndest to make sure the restaurant business dies out, encouraging the idea owning a home is outdated, and that we never have to buy a single diamond again. They’re even going as far as to ruin the serial killer industry with their determination for safety and…

Pokemon—originally named Pocket Monsters—has been around since 1996 and Nintendo doesn’t plan on stopping this forward momentum toward building up the franchise’s lore. Every couple of years, Nintendo will release a new game filled with nearly a hundred new little creatures to catch and train. In addition to this, the shows and comics help you…

They’re pretty badass: tattoos. You are stabbing yourself with a plethora of needles, a thorn on a stick, or a screwdriver that was recently inside someone repeatedly until the ink penetrates deep enough into your skin. Unless you swim in the ocean right away or go through a phase of pyro-masochism, it’s unlikely your hues…

As a man reaching 30, I should not be thinking about school uniforms anymore but here I am, lying awake and staring at the ceiling during the devil’s hour. School uniforms are not only great for fighting hazardous systems, but teaching beneficial morals to the future. Despite there being a variety of institutions mandating uniforms,…

Have you ever tried going up to someone at a book store and asking if they would like to be your friend? Depending on your level of privilege, it can either go stupenduously well or disastruously wrong. Don’t be surprised if they scoff in your face, question your mental health, poke fun at your decaying…

There’s nothing more upsetting than waiting for thirty minutes at a brassiere only to be delivered a meal disastruously lackluster. You are spending your hard earned money on a place you should be considering fulfilling; a place meeting your body’s quota for sustenance. However, despite the presence of Yelp, it can be hard to determine…
