It turned into a bit of an animal-themed day here at Listicles, huh? Well, there are worse things for all the posts on one day to be about (guns, for instance), and we have orchestrated a beautiful symmetry (so much art to listicles!) by opening with tiny animals and concluding with giant ones. To send [...]

Aside from porn stars, the largest population living on the Internet must be animals; animals of all shapes, sizes and religious persuasions. Some of them, on a fairly frequent but largely unpredictable basis, get swept up into that weird web micro-climate: the meme. The combination of Interweb funnies and animal cuteness makes for irresistible moments, [...]

Miniature animals are a strange fusion of their actual wild animal cousins, pets and stuffed animals. In essence, they are the most tame, adorable and un-animalistic animals that exist, which makes them completely and utterly irresistible. You might not feel quite so charmed reading over Weird Worm’s listicle of 10 Weird Miniature Versions of Animals, [...]

We find ourselves blogging about facial hair awful often here, but rarely are we able to drive home the importance of beards and mustaches so forcefully as illustrator and artist Inkspills & Bloodsprains in this epic visual listicle of the 20 Most Influential Beards Ever (there’s also a mustache version!) We wonder how Joaquin Phoenix [...]

Today is the International Day Against Police Brutality (except, notably, in the United States, where National Anti-Police Brutality Day on October 22 takes precedence) and though, happily, we have never been victims of police brutality, we know of a number of fictional characters who have been on the giving and receiving ends of such abuses [...]

We invent things all the time, like our morning drink of cofftea or the device we use on our morning commute, the iSkatepad. We also invented the listicle. Some of these inventions have more merit than others (the iSkatepad, for instance, doesn’t do well in the rain), but none are quite so ridiculous as those [...]

Any pet of ours will have to build its own home from scratch. We will provide tools and maybe some help with drafting blueprints, but the rest will be left up to its more or less capable paws. This is not intended as some sort of animal cruelty; we have rather high hopes for animal [...]

As far as sports-y metaphors for American society go, none is probably quite so eloquent and insightful as football, with its strictly divided class system, its rigid hierarchy of knowledge with a few powerful people of privilege bossing the workers around and, more recently, its complete caving in to the needs of television broadcasters. That [...]

Wide open spaces make us nervous. We thrive off the forced conviviality and warmth of narrow apartments and tight offices overlooking tiny streets that we careen down on our bicycles (which are also narrow). Once, after mistakenly signing a lease on a warehouse-like loft apartment, we built a tiny, tool shed-sized shack inside it as [...]

Sunday is Pi Day (3/14, of course!), and to celebrate we baked you these 14 Perfect Pi Pies. (We had originally intended to bake 314 such pies for the sake of greater numerical accuracy, but this proved to be a terrible idea.) Pi Pies, in case you eat all of these before Sunday and need [...]
