¿Cuál es tu primer pensamiento cuando ves este frigorífico?


My kids think it's crazy, but we used to have a full set of cookbooks on the kitchen shelf instead of YouTube. Be honest, who still owns and uses real physical cookbooks?


Is there anyone else who still favors reading physical books over e-books in 2026?


Today, I'd pick 4. What about you? 🤔



TVs are better and cheaper than 10 years ago. Groceries are worse and more expensive than 10 years ago. Same economy. Same decade. What explains the difference?

The constant pumping of music into every public space, every idle second of sport, every supermarket and café, speaks to an underlying sickness, a kind of cultural mental illness. As a society we are allergic to silence, terrified of spending even one second with our own thoughts






How does your home library stack up? In 2023 YouGov surveyed 29,000 Americans to see how many books they have in their homes. The results were disappointing to say the least. - 0 books: 9% (no books AT ALL) - 1–10 books: 20% - 11–25 books: 14% - 26–50 books: 13% - 51–100 books: 12% - 101–200 books: 10% - 201–500 books: 7% - 501–1,000 books: 4% - More than 1,000 books: 3%
