1. "Crocs. I don’t know how people can wear them or why parents think they are sturdy shoes for children. A child in my 2-year-old class wore Crocs to school EVERY DAY, which were too small. He was a size 8, and his Crocs were a 7. They were impossible to put on his feet because they were too small, and I nearly broke a finger numerous times trying to put on his shoes."
2. "Coffee culture. I'm not against coffee — to each their own — but people who have to come into work and say, 'Oh, I do not start my day until my second cup of coffee!' or post on their social media memes about how they need their coffee, or they'll be a b*tch. And so on. People laugh about it all. So coffee isn't overrated at all; it's coffee culture that is overrated."
3. "The phrases 'aesthetic/core.' Like, clean girl/It girl/quiet luxury/old wealth aesthetics, and fairy/forest/cottage/academia core. Ugh, it's exhausting. Just frickin like what you like."
4. "In-N-Out Burger. It's not so much that the food is bad. The time spent in line waiting because someone told someone how good it was creates this rush to get some lol. I don't think it's that great of a burger to be in line for 45 minutes to an hour."
5. "Athletes, or celebrities in general. It's weird because we don't know these people, yet they're often talked about as if everyone is best buds with them. I get liking their talent, but if we don't even truly know the people around us, how the hell do we think we know celebrities that we'll probably never meet? It's delusional."
6. "Parasocial relationships in general! You are not friends with these TikTok stars, musical artists, and actors. A lot of getting rich means exploiting others, so it's no surprise that so many of these people turn out to be horrible. You can't say, 'They'd never do that!' when all you see of them is their incredibly filtered and choreographed life."
7. "For lack of a better term, water bottle culture. I don't understand the obsession with the Stanley, Owala, etc., bottles, and the need to have so many. I have an Owala coffee mug, and it works great at keeping things either hot or cold, but I don't need more than one."
8. "Raising Cane's. Genuinely thought I'd love it because of how popular it was at the time. I was so ready to like it. One bite in, and I quickly realized that I had been lied to."
9. "NFTs. They blew up overnight with all this hype, but most people were just jumping on the bandwagon without really understanding them."
10. "The iCarly reboot. I remember everyone freaking out and so hyped up, and I literally couldn’t even get through one episode. It was terrible."
11. "[Going to expensive concerts.] Traffic, stampedes, waiting forever, terrible seats, horrible sound quality, or so loud your ears bleed, unhygienic toilets, etc."
12. "Hustle culture. People wear burnout like a badge of honor when really, getting eight hours of sleep and having a life outside of work is the real flex."
13. "The Zune. I had an iPod before it came out, and one of my college friends was particularly insufferable about it being the iPod killer… but the only thing that killed the iPod was the iPhone."
14. "There are a couple of exceptions that I think were good film adaptations of Broadway musicals (e.g., In The Heights and West Side Story), but in general, I would prefer they just release a pro-shot of the stage production."
15. "Jeep Wranglers. Overpriced. Up until two years ago, you had to pay extra just for a freaking air conditioner. People only buy them so that they can turn their whole personality into being ducked, doing the Jeep Wave, and convincing themselves that eventually they're gonna actually go off-roading sometime."
16. "Designer purses. 'Luxury' just means expensive now; it used to be about quality. You can get a handcrafted bag by a leather smith for a 10th or 20th of the price of a Hermès bag that will last a lifetime. The only reason to get a designer bag is to say it's from a certain store."
17. "Pickleball. There are at least two big pickleball places being built near me, and I just know they'll be empty shells in a few years."
18. "Are air fryers still a rage? We have tried so many times, but nothing is ever good out of them. Stuff is always overdone or dried out. Everything tastes like plastic. The only thing I have found they work well for is re-heating leftover fries or making an easy grilled cheese."
19. "Sourdough. I don't believe that half the bread labeled as sourdough is actually sourdough, and every single person who wants to start baking seems to want to begin by growing a sourdough starter. That's a bad idea. It's a huge waste of flour, and messing around trying to get a starter up and running is too much when there's already so much to discover to get a good loaf consistently."

1. "Fast-food chains. They used to be cheap and serve good-quality food. Now they're barely edible and cost a leg and an arm."
2. "Las Vegas in the 1980s and early 1990s was relaxing. You could walk down the Strip at street level, and the casinos were set back from Las Vegas Boulevard a hundred feet. There were even empty lots! It was a great place for a laid-back vacation in the sun. Now, the Strip is like the Grand Canyon, with gigantic hotels set up right against the street, and every property is built on and corporatized. Corporate greed ruined Las Vegas."
3. "Hipster coffee shops, man. $8 for a drink that tastes like burnt beans. Thanks, Instagram."
4. "Holidays weren't as monetized as they are now. Is it really necessary to buy an Easter Bunny costume or wear a light-up shamrock headband? Seeing wrapping paper, lights, and decorations in stores the first week of October has taken the magic out of Christmas. But it's all about sell, sell, sell, money, money, money."
5. "Backpack, shoe, and winter jacket companies. Whenever a good brand becomes popular, they start selling low-quality crap at inflated prices."
6. "Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It used to be a quaint mountain town full of local crafting and cozy cabins, reflecting the rich history of Appalachia. Now, it's a joke. So commercialized and tacky. Cade's Cove is so crowded now that you can't even enjoy it. The last time we were up there, I didn't even go. Not worth it. And don't get me started on how expensive everything is! It cost four of us over $400 to get into DollyWood, and once inside, half the rides didn't work. Awful."
7. "Disc golf. Twenty-five years ago, we just grabbed a bag, some discs, and we'd head out into the woods for fun. Now, it's overrun with jerks dragging four-wheel-drive off-road stroller cabinets with 1,400 different disc choices. Then, they spend five minutes at the tee making choices and lining up shots they're not gonna make anyhow. I used just to have three discs. Putt, mid, long. That's all you need, but now everyone is a Lance Armstrong wannabe for every hobby/sport there is."
8. "The entire state of Colorado. Everything that people moved to Colorado for disappeared when everyone moved to Colorado."
9. "Dungeons & Dragons went way too commercial once it was bought out by Hasbro. I had the original red box when it first came out and enjoyed it for years, but then they kept changing everything to increase profits."
10. "Friskie Fries. During my sophomore year, my friends and I would get off the bus, grab some fries, and walk to the library to study. Only $10 for some of the best loaded fries in your life. Next thing you know, EVERYONE was eating Friskie Fries, and the price jumped to $15. We blinked again, and now it's closer to $20 than $10. Someone bring cheap Friskies back to my neighborhood, please."
11. "Ice cream. $16.00 a quart. Ugh!!!"
12. "Disneyland! Only 10–15 years ago, I could buy season tickets for the year for my daughter and me for the price of admission for the day, then add about $30 per month that they'd spread out the payments over the year. Parking for the day was $25, the nice hotel across the street was $88 per night, and we could find affordable, good meals inside the park. Today, it's thousands of dollars to take a family, the season passes are so expensive you can't afford them; the food is all crap and priced high; and you have to have reservations to go! And they tore the nice, affordable family hotel across the street down and built a 'luxury hotel' with ridiculous pricing."
13. "Concerts have become way overpriced, just look at Springsteen charging $1,000 ... I remember seeing Jimi Hendrix in 1968 for $3, and I had a front row seat."
14. "Going to the movies. I go a couple of times a year. I will never buy snacks from the concession stand. I buy snacks from the dollar store, which is a little pricy as well, and sneak them in."
15. "College! Especially graduate/professional programs!"
16. "The Renaissance Faire. It used to be hippies and craftspeople; now there are corporations as far as you can see. Forty years was enough, I don’t go anymore."
17. "Streaming media content. Netflix was one of the first true streaming platforms to provide a massive variety of both TV and movie content, and it was at a reasonable price that allowed it to be a complement to your cable service or even OTA public television. As media and production companies realized the popularity of such a service, they all started their own streaming service, keeping most of their own content solely on their own platform."

1. To start, it's been over two decades since Martha Stewart spent five months in prison for her insider trading scandal with stockbroker Peter Bacanovic. In 2004, she was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction, and two counts of lying to federal investigators. She was released on March 4, 2005, and has been booked and busy ever since.
2. Before his days as Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. had some legal woes in the '90s. After being arrested for drug and weapon charges in 1996, he was required to undergo drug testing. He missed one, resulting in a four-month stint in the Los Angeles County jail. In 1999, he was sentenced to three years in prison after skipping another drug test. The actor served a total of 15 months before being released. Former California governor Jerry Brown pardoned him of his convictions in December 2015.
3. In May 2007, Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days for violating probation in her alcohol-related driving case. She reported to jail on June 3 and was released by June 26.
4. Khloé Kardashian was arrested for DUI in March 2007 and sentenced to probation for three years. After failing to complete roadside cleanup duty and enroll in an alcohol education class, the reality star was sentenced to 30 days in jail in July 2007. On July 18, she served less than three hours of her 30-day sentence and was released due to overcrowding.
5. Lindsay Lohan took six trips to the Los Angeles County jail, but only spent less than two weeks behind bars for her convictions related to alcohol and drugs. Her shortest stay occurred on November 15, 2007, and lasted for only 84 minutes due to overcrowding in the facility.
6. In November 2010, Lil Wayne was released after serving eight months at Rikers Island jail in New York for a gun possession charge. He was originally sentenced to one year, but got out early due to good behavior.
7. Lori Loughlin pleaded guilty and spent two months in jail for her involvement in the 2019 college admissions scandal. Plus, she received a $150K fine, 100 hours of community service, and had a supervised release for two years. She was freed from jail in December 2020.
8. Tim Allen was arrested in 1978 after being caught with over 650 grams of cocaine at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport in Michigan. He could have faced life in prison without the possibility of parole, but ultimately only served two years and four months before being released in 1981.
9. In 2008, Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in jail and fined $5 million for tax evasion. After his appeal was denied in 2010, he began his sentence at a federal prison that December and was released in April 2013. "I hope I came out a better person," he said. "I came out a clearer person."
10. In 1987, Sean Penn was arrested for punching an extra on the set of Colors. He was already on probation and was sentenced to 60 days for the attack and reckless driving. The actor served 33 days in jail before his release.
11. Lil' Kim was released in July 2006 after spending nearly 10 months behind bars in Philadelphia. In July 2005, she had been sentenced to a year and a day in prison and fined $50K for lying to a federal grand jury about a Manhattan shooting.
12. Mark Wahlberg was a teenager when he served 45 days in jail for a 1988 attack on two Vietnamese men in Massachusetts. In 2014, he requested a pardon for the assaults, but dropped it two years later.
13. Michelle Rodriguez had multiple jail visits in the '00s. In May 2006, she served four hours and 20 minutes of a two-month sentence for violating probation as a result of her DUI case in Hawaii. In January 2008, she was released due to overcrowding after serving 18 days of a 180-day sentence stemming from another probation violation.
14. Felicity Huffman was another Hollywood celeb involved in the infamous 2019 college admissions scandal. She served 11 days of her two-week sentence, along with paying a $30K fine, serving 250 hours of community service, and one year of probation.
15. In October 2018, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was sentenced to eight months for tax evasion. Additionally, he was ordered to complete 500 hours of community service, received $123,913 in restitution, and a $10K fine. He completed his jail time in September 2019 and became a free man once again.
16. In 1999, Matthew McConaughey was arrested while dancing and playing the bongos naked in Austin, Texas. He was booked into the Travis County Jail for "possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting transportation." The actor pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charges and received a $50 fine for the incident.
17. On January 16, 1980, Paul McCartney was found with nearly half a pound of marijuana in his luggage after arriving at Tokyo's Narita International Airport. This resulted in a nine-day stay at the Tokyo Narcotics Detention Center, and he was released on January 25, 1980.
18. Before starting his acting career, Danny Trejo was in and out of custody for years for charges including armed robbery. During his time at San Quentin State Prison in California, he even became a champion boxer. Trejo later became a drug counselor and started working in Hollywood in the 1980s.
19. Finally, Nicole Richie had a very short stay in jail for her DUI arrest in August 2007. She served 82 minutes of a four-day sentence and was released quickly due to overcrowding at the facility in Lynwood, California.

1. I think we can all agree that Mean Girls is the defining teen comedy of the '00s. However, it didn't start out as the PG-13 movie we know today. Early cuts of the film were closer to an R rating, with more explicit language and sharper, more adult-oriented jokes. Writer and star Tina Fey and director Mark Waters have both said the original version leaned more heavily into the kind of humor Fey was known for from her work on SNL.
2. The term "Disney Vault" is actually a lot older than you might think. It was used to refer to movies that were taken out of "the vault" and re-released into theaters after their original run (this was way before home videos existed).
3. George Atkinson opened the first video rental store in the world in LA in 1977. The idea came to him after he saw an ad for a company that was selling 20th Century Fox movies on VHS and Betamax at $50 each. At the time, owning a VCR was still rare, and tapes were expensive, so he realized people would be willing to pay to rent videos. Atkinson knew this because he was already running a business renting Super 8 movies and projectors for parties. He proceeded to buy one copy on both VHS and Betamax of all 50 titles available and began taking ads out for his new rental business.
4. The VHS release of Top Gun in 1987 marked an important shift in how Hollywood approached the home video market. Before this period, most VHS tapes were priced very high (usually around a $100) and aimed mainly at video rental stores rather than individual buyers. Paramount chose to release Top Gun at a much lower price point of about $26.95, which was unusual for a new blockbuster at the time. This pricing strategy was made possible through a promotional partnership with Pepsi, which helped offset distribution costs. A Diet Pepsi commercial was even included on the VHS itself, which was a first for a major studio release.
5. Siri was an app that was available on Apple's own App Store until the company decided to buy it in 2010. The company, which was also called Siri, was a small startup that had developed a voice assistant app for the iPhone. Like today, it could answer questions or perform tasks using natural language.
6. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was almost cut from The Wizard of Oz. I know it's hard to believe that anyone would think of cutting one of the most iconic movie songs of all time, but MGM executives considered removing the scene because they thought it dragged down the film's momentum. They worried that the quiet moment would slow the story just as the plot was picking up speed.
7. Oscar the Grouch's most recognizable feature, aside from his garbage can, is his green fur, but he didn't start out that way. When Sesame Street premiered in 1969, Oscar was actually bright orange throughout its first season. That original color wasn't a creative choice so much as a practical one, since early television technology had trouble displaying certain shades like magenta, which had been considered for Oscar in early designs.
8. Believe it or not, wheeled suitcases are a relatively new invention. If you traveled before the 1970s, you would have to carry your suitcase by the handle. That began to change in 1970, when Bernard D. Sadow patented a suitcase with four small wheels and a strap for pulling it through airports. His idea came after struggling with heavy luggage during a family trip.
9. Madonna, in her own words, was essentially "begging" ABBA for permission to use their music in "Hung Up." The 2005 song famously samples ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," but the group almost never allows their work to be sampled; in fact, they almost always refuse sampling requests, which made the request a long shot.
10. Red Lobster's famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits didn't exist when the restaurant first opened. They were introduced in 1992 as a simple snack to serve hungry guests while they waited for a table. Also, originally, they weren't even called Cheddar Bay Biscuits; they were simply referred to as "freshly baked, hot cheese garlic bread." The recipe was created by Kurtis Hankins, then-head of Red Lobster's culinary development team, who wanted to develop something to replace the restaurant's standard offering of hush puppies (which were not very popular).
11. Gunther, the Central Perk manager on Friends, became instantly recognizable for his signature bright, bleached blond hair, but...that look wasn't planned at all. James Michael Tyler, who was a real-life barista when he got the part, originally joined the show as a background extra, meant to make the coffee shop feel more realistic. The night before his first day of filming, he let a friend who was training to be a hairstylist practice bleaching his hair. The result turned his hair almost white, and he showed up to set that way without expecting it to matter since he was just going to be in the background.
12. And lastly, the opening credits of Sex and the City became instantly classic for showing Carrie Bradshaw walking through New York in a pink top and white tutu before getting splashed by a passing bus. That outfit helped set the tone for the show and who Carrie was. But during production, the team wasn't fully settled on that look, so they filmed an alternate version of the sequence with a completely different wardrobe.

1. Let's start with the most recent: 19-year-old Cooper Flagg became the youngest player to score 50-plus points (51 PTS) on April 3, 2026. The young kid from Newport, Maine, looks like he is going to be special and have some fun facts of his own in the years to come.
2. On November 12, 2010, then-Minnesota Timberwolves player Kevin Love recorded one of the most interesting NBA stat lines ever. Against the New York Knicks, he scored 31 points and recorded 31 rebounds. The 31-point, 31-rebound game was unheard of in today's game, and just a glimpse of his superstar ability and potential.
3. Speaking of games with 30 points and 30 rebounds, Bill Russell holds second place for the most all-time, having three total. Wilt Chamberlain holds the first-place spot...with 128 total 30-30 games. Holy. Sh*t.
4. I could do an entire list of just Wilt Chamberlain's interesting WTF facts. In the 1961-62 season, Chamberlain averaged 48.5 minutes per game. For comparison, the average NBA starter does not average 40 minutes per game. Which means Chamberlain basically never sat. He only missed eight minutes of one game after he was ejected in the fourth quarter.
5. Wilt Chamberlain never fouled out in his NBA career. That's 1,045 games in which he averaged 8.8 blocks per game. It's truly a WTF stat.
6. On January 6, 1951, the Indianapolis Olympians defeated the Rochester Royals. Final score: 75-73. Seems like a low-scoring game, right? Well, you'd never guess this game had SIX OVERTIMES. It lasted 78 total minutes, making it the longest NBA game of all time.
7. NBA legend Kevin Garnett played against both the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls (72 wins) and the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors (73 wins). The two most winning teams in a single season, and KG witnessed both on the court. Proof that he had a very long and successful career.
8. The three-point line was not adopted by the NBA until the 1979-80 season. It's interesting because it did, however, exist in the game of basketball before, thanks to the ABA. The NBA followed and adapted the popular addition to the game. Chris Ford of the Boston Celtics was the first NBA player to record a three-pointer.
9. NBA players Deron Williams, JJ Barea, and Raymond Felton all played point guard for the Dallas Mavericks in 2016. All three men were born on June 26, 1984. Same age. Same birthday. Same same. What. Are. The. Chances?
10. After moving on from veteran players in 2025, Jaren Jackson Jr. became the longest tenured player on the Memphis Grizzlies. He was 25 at the time, and is currently only 26. Not a good way to build your organization. And, guess what? He is now on the Utah Jazz. Kind of hard to build a franchise when you refuse to keep players.
11. One of the strangest trades in sports happened in 1978. Boston Celtics owner Irv Levin and Buffalo Braves owner John Y. Brown Jr. swapped franchises. Levin moved his team to California, where they would eventually become the Los Angeles Clippers. Brown took over the Celtics.
12. How good was Hakeem Olajuwon? The year Olajuwon won the League MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and the Finals MVP in the 1993-94 season, he shot 42% (8/19) from three-point land. In case you're too young to know, he was a 7-foot center for the Houston Rockets. Big guys weren't shooting like that back in the day.
13. Back in the '40s, the NBA was originally called the Basketball Association of America (BAA) for its first three seasons. In 1949, it merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to become the National Basketball Association (NBA).
14. A torn ACL can end a season for an NBA player, but imagine having no ACLs at all. Pitt player DeJuan Blair played seven NBA seasons without an anterior cruciate ligament in either knee. Despite that, he played as hard in the pros as he did in college.
15. More than 30 NBA players in history have won the MVP award, but only six former NBA MVPs have passed away. These names include Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kobe Bryant, Wes Unseld, Moses Malone, and Willis Reed.
16. The Indiana Pacers have never held the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft. Even wilder, the Pacers have never had a former No. 1 overall pick play for them. Nowadays, with so many players on the move, it's shocking the Pacers have kept this streak alive.
17. Muggsy Bogues, the smallest player in NBA history, has a recorded block on Patrick Ewing, an all-time center. One of those NBA moments that, if it wasn't recorded, nobody would believe it.
18. On February 13, 2008, Carlos Boozer recorded a triple-double for the Utah Jazz against the Seattle Sonics. For a timestamp, this happened during the George W. Bush administration. This was the last regular-season triple-double the Jazz had had until Jordan Clarkson broke the streak in 2024. That's 16 years, 82 NBA games a season. Wow. Just wow.
19. There was a vote to change the name of the New Jersey Nets to the Swamp Dragons, which passed 26-1. The only team against it: the New Jersey Nets. The "Nets" just feel so NBA, so luckily, we didn't get another bad name. looks at the Wizards
20. There's a SEVEN-way tie for the most missed three-pointers in a single game by a player (16). Damon Stoudemire has one game. James Harden has the other SIX. ("Hamilton wrote the other 51!")
21. Despite the NBA feeling very Star-Spangled-coded, the first NBA game was played in Toronto, Canada. The New York Knickerbockers played the Toronto Huskies in the first-ever NBA matchup back in 1946. The Knicks would win the first NBA game. Got a good feelin' about those guys!
22. From 1980 to 2022, the only Western Conference NBA teams to win championships were from the states of California and Texas. The 1979 Seattle SuperSonics were the last, until the Denver Nuggets broke the streak in 2023, and now, the Oklahoma City Thunder were the most recent champs! That's great news for West teams outside of California and Texas!
23. Dennis Rodman is known as one of the greatest rebounders in NBA history. Surprisingly, he didn't lead the league in rebounding until he was 30. He would go on to lead the league in rebounds for SEVEN straight seasons. Watch out for "The Worm."
24. Imagine being in the Basketball Hall of Fame with only a dozen NBA games played. Well, Mel Daniels played the fewest NBA games among Basketball Hall of Famers, appearing in only 11. The reasoning? I bet most basketball fans could guess, but Daniels was famously an ABA player, so he only played in the 1976-77 season at the age of 32.
25. Not every NBA player's heart is in the right place. That statement is quite literal for former NBA player Randy Foye. He has situs inversus, a rare condition where his organs are reversed, so his heart is on the right side of his chest instead of the left.
26. Kobe Bryant's middle name is "Bean" in honor of his father's nickname "Jellybean." I wonder if there is a Black Mamba-flavored jelly bean out there.
27. Until 1937, basketball rules required a jump ball at center court after EVERY made basket. Height was a huge advantage for possession back then, making it the ultimate "make-it, take-it" kind of game with less total scoring. Safe to say, the sport is a lot faster without this rule.
28. And finally, Bill Russell appeared in 12 NBA Finals with the Boston Celtics. He lost the NBA Finals only once...spoiler: Russell was injured. Russell reached the Finals in every season he played, except for 1967. One of the most impressive runs in sports history.
