Study Determines the Best Movie of All Time

Can there be a single greatest movie of all time? The team at PixlParade thinks so.

Biggest Companies Still Owned by Founders

With volatile markets and changing needs, it’s common for CEOs to come and go from even the most successful companies. The team at The Chartistry showed us the exceptions on a new graphic. The team listed the largest companies still owned by their founders. We can see tech dominating despite a volatile market, with Mark Zuckerberg topping the list with Meta. He went from coding the original Facebook in his college dorm to steering the Metaverse of products. His impact on tech can’t be understated. The same is true for Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, who has become a central player in the AI boom. The company’s upward momentum is primarily attributed to Huang’s savvy leadership. Michael Dell has managed to stay on top as well, though he did technically step away from leadership for a time in 1984. In addition to tech, Wall Street finance industries top the list too, with Richard Fairbank of Capital One and Larry Fink of BlackRock.

Study Examines Slang Across the Decades

The team at Preply offers us a fun infographic showing the outdated slang terms that Americans want to revive. Slang comes and goes with hairstyles, the cut of your jeans, and popular music and dances. But there isn’t always a perfect replacement for the slang words from decades past. In fact, 80% of Americans say they use outdated slang regularly. This might be from an old habit, but some say they do it ironically or for a laugh. America’s favorite decade for slang is the ‘90s, which brought us words like “rad,” “gnarly,” “sick,” and “dope,” all of which are synonyms for cool! While many generations favored the slang of the ‘80s and ‘90s, Baby Boomers prefer slang from the ‘60s. Gen X respondents were the most nostalgic for the slang of their youth, specifically from the ‘80s and ‘90s, reflecting the wider preference for slang from that era.
