The great thing about joining the 3D printing community is that every day you discover fandom crossovers your brain could never have dreamt of
Two product photos of a novelty Thor-style hammer themed like a Newport cigarette pack. The hammer head is white with the green-and-gold Newport branding on both sides, and the handle is teal with a segmented grip. The left image shows the hammer laid flat on a wood surface with the listing title “Newport Inspired Thor Hammer,” price, and brief description. The right image shows the hammer displayed upright as if embedded in a black faux rock stand.

Can we just talk about cutaway drawings? Like this one from Marian Churchland? Of someone's little home? And there's a secret basement entry with a waterway and a boat dock? This is basically all I need for the rest of the day, I'm set
A detailed hand-drawn cutaway illustration of a whimsical hillside or underground home, shown in cross-section like a dollhouse. The structure contains multiple levels connected by ladders and stairs, with labeled rooms and features such as an alcove bed and bedroom at the top, a library, dining hall, pantry, kitchen with hanging herbs and honey, storage rooms, and a hoard. A central tree trunk runs through the house, integrated into the architecture. At the bottom is a cave opening onto an underground waterway with a small boat and dock. The drawing is done in pencil with soft shading and handwritten notes, evoking a cozy, fantasy-inspired dwelling.

Just want to shout out the writers of the original She-Ra series, who were brave enough to ask what if Orko had a great rack
A hooded female sorceress in a red robe sits at a stone table in a dark, dungeon-like laboratory. Her face is entirely blacked out except for glowing yellow eyes. In front of her are glass flasks and beakers filled with blue and red liquids, a skull, and rolled scrolls in a container. Behind her, a staircase lined with books or bottles recedes into shadow, reinforcing the ominous, magical setting.

I just remembered how we ate on this meme for practically a whole year
An animated scene from an anime-style show showing a bespectacled young man holding an open book and gesturing toward a yellow butterfly flying near a window. The subtitle at the bottom reads, “Is this a pigeon?” The image is widely used as an internet meme to indicate humorous confusion or misidentification.

When the great divine entity of the universe imbued humans with the gift of creativity, do you think they knew we'd use it to put sliding barn doors on literally anything
A freestanding bathroom vanity on a store display platform, featuring a light wood finish with a white countertop and integrated sink. The vanity has a black faucet, a sliding barn-style cabinet door on the left, and three stacked drawers with black pulls on the right. A retail sign above advertises an 18-month special financing credit deal, and boxed fixtures are stacked nearby against a white tile-pattern wall.

Average person: Oh look, a reissued chair

The NYT: Reissued chair? Wrong. It's a franchise. And that lamp over there? That's a limited season spin-off crossover. This is culture now
Screenshot of an NYT article. Headline and subhead text on a white background reading, “Can You Reboot a Lamp Like a Superhero Franchise?” Below it, smaller text says: “Riding an endless wave of nostalgia, one company is exhuming the intellectual property of midcentury designers to create new audiences for forgotten work.”

In what I'm sure won't ever be seen as incredibly stupid, they're shipping TVs with an AI button now

This still makes me laugh every single year. Tracy Morgan's dead stare
Four male SNL cast members stand in a festive studio set decorated with Christmas trees and lights, wearing coordinated burgundy sweaters and vests. Horatio Sanz plays a small stringed instrument, Jimmy Fallon stands at a keyboard held by Chris Kattan, and Tracy Morgan stands to the right, facing forward as if singing. The scene is a holiday-themed musical performance on a stage, with warm lighting and a cozy, seasonal atmosphere.

I'm sorry how is this the top auto fill option for me
A screenshot of a Google search interface on a mobile device with the query “how long” typed into the search bar. Below are suggested searches including “how long is avatar fire and ash,” “how long to boil eggs,” “how long is wicked for good,” “how long is the new avatar movie,” and “how long is avatar 3.” At the bottom, a highlighted result card reads “3h 17m — Avatar: Fire and Ash Running time,” alongside a small movie thumbnail.

Pro-tip for people who hate buying ribbons and junk, you can make an origami bow out of whatever paper you have laying around. Here are instructions for my favorite version — with a few round of practice, you can make 'em real fast

No way did our boy set an entire letter to projectionists in Papyrus
A photographed letter on white paper with a blue lightning-bolt logo at the top, addressed “Dear Theater Technician.” The letter explains that the team is delivering Avatar: Fire and Ash and urges projectionists to follow the included projection specifications, calibrate picture and sound properly, and play the film at the reference sound level of 7.0, not lower. It emphasizes dynamic sound mixing and thanks technicians for their role in shaping the audience’s experience. The letter is signed “Jim Cameron.”

Reminder that you don't have to buy store-made gift tags, you can just make them yourself with collaged bits of the wrapping paper and a silly joke that will make your nieces and nephews laugh
Three small folded paper cards are spread out on a tabletop, each featuring a cute illustrated monster wearing a patterned sweater. The monsters have round faces, small horns, and tiny fangs. Speech bubbles read “HEY,” “SAY WHAT,” and “BUTTS,” creating a simple visual joke across the cards.

Hey so I think we could probably take a break from making new things

This has to be my worst typo to date
A close-up screenshot of the word “Taxonmoist,” underlined with red dotted spell-check marks, indicating a misspelling. The text appears in a sans-serif font on a white background. The author was attempting to write the word taxonomist.

An incredible hail mary of a final sentence
www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Text from an article. It reads: Vanity plate revoked for reference to 'sexual domination' In Gilliam’s case, Tennessee initially approved her request for a personalized license plate that read “69PWNDU.” She said the letters referenced “pwnd u,” an online gamer phrase meaning to beat an opponent. The numbers, she initially said, reflected part of her phone number and were not a sexual reference. Gilliam later said she’s an astronomy buff and “69” refers to the year of the moon landing.

In what is now the only way I'll ever use AI, I asked it to tell me where I'd come up to in this photo as a 5'0" person, knowing that Jacob Elordi is 6'6" and Guillermo del Toro is 5'10". I will never recover from this
A group photo of the cast of Frankenstein standing in a theater aisle with a full audience seated behind them, smiling for the camera. The cast members are dressed in formal attire, including suits and a sheer blue gown. In the center foreground, a bright pink stick-figure doodle has been drawn over one person’s spot, with a round scribbled head, rectangular torso, and simple limbs.
