gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-22 21:50:18

If you haven’t yet experienced it yourself, you’ve certainly seen older family members start to hold smartphones and restaurant menus up to their noses, squinting at the small text. That’s because as we age, we all develop presbyopia, or age-related farsightedness—trouble focusing on close objects or text. That’s where surgery or reading glasses usually come in, but new research suggests there could be another option. Researchers have demonstrated that after taking special eye drops two or thre

The biggest blockbuster of the summer came out 86 years ago. While some people balk at the idea of paying $12 to catch a film that’ll be on streaming platforms a month later, apparently thousands of folks are flocking to the Sphere in Las Vegas and dropping about $200 a ticket to watch The Wizard of Oz, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Discounty adds some bite to cozy life sims

There’s a pleasing rhythm to cozy life sims. The virtual days pass, filled with chores of tending crops or running a business, punctuated by strange mysteries or evolving relationships. At their best, these games merge busywork with exploration and storytelling, in a way that makes them hard to step away from. Discounty, from developer Crinkle Cut Games, applies this idea to running a small-town supermarket. And while in many ways it can still be considered “cozy” like its contemporaries, it als

Amazon’s New ‘Wicked of Oz’ Reimagining Sounds Like a Disaster Waiting to Happen

Wicked was fun, and Wicked: For Good is a movie we’re looking forward to seeing later this year. But the adjacent Wizard of Oz hype that began with the Las Vegas Sphere‘s worrisomely AI-injected extravaganza has taken another odd turn: Dorothy, a new Amazon series in development, with Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton among its executive producers, that will interpret L.

Cleaning your fridge and freezer is important to do every so often, but what about the food sitting inside it? Specifically, that bottom drawer, where fruits and veggies go to retire. Even the healthiest-looking produce can carry unwelcome hitchhikers like dirt, bacteria and trace pesticides. Now, don't freak out.
