Artificial intelligence was nothing more than science fiction when Florida baby boomers were in school. Learning was physical—chalkboards, encyclopedias, flashcards, and overhead projectors. You needed to carry information around in your head, not in your phone. Today, everything’s different. AI is changing not just how kids learn, but what they need to learn. Here are…
We get it. Water can be bland, boring, and, frankly, not very enjoyable to consume when there are so many other yummy drink options in Maine. But like it or not, we need water to survive. Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, and, eventually, even organ failure. The good news? You don’t have to…
America has an interesting relationship with alcohol. We love our wine, beer, and whiskey, but our puritanical roots sometimes make it hard to enjoy. At one point, we banned the stuff altogether (hello, prohibition). And, while Mississippi and most of the country are fairly permissive about a tipple or two today, strange laws still remain…
Do you feel like nobody talks to their neighbors anymore? If you’re from an older generation, it’s kind of wild. Minnesota residents used to know who lived next door, help each other out, and plan get-togethers. But now? Many Minnesota residents just nod politely (if that) and go back inside.

Whether you’re heading in for your first Pub Sub or trying to…
With age comes wisdom, they say. But to a young Missouri resident, advice from older generations can feel a bit absurd until life throws them enough curveballs. These are some classic pieces of “old people” advice that Missourians often think are funny when they’re young until they realize just how true the advice is. 1:…
To be clear: we really hope society doesn’t collapse. No one wants that. We like working plumbing, grocery stores, and being able to charge our phones. But let’s say things go a little sideways in Alaska and the United States as a whole. We’re not necessarily talking about bunkers and gas masks (unless that’s your…
Language is constantly evolving in Alabama, and begrudgingly to the baby boomer generation, slang terms of the past are all but gone in modern conversation. Nevertheless, the 1960s was full of groovy gems we don’t want to let go of. From foxy to fuzz, you can bet your sweet bippy this list will serve as…
Americans are responsible for many of the world’s greatest discoveries. From the first plane to the first iPhone, American innovators are adept at creating new things. Yet, when it comes to uncovering the past, Georgians and Americans across the U.S. are just as stumped as the rest of the world. Our creative minds and innovative…
