The World Wide Web&nbsp;has changed a lot since its most recognizable inception in 1990. While a few <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ancient-websites-still-running-unchanged/katia-kleyman" target="_blank">websites have stayed the same since the '90s</a>,&nbsp;most of the internet we use today&nbsp;has dramatically changed&nbsp;from the days of Geocities sites and AOL chatrooms.There are stories about the old internet that may make you nostalgic for a time before all of our <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ways-internet-changes-how-we-think/hannah-collins" target="_blank">interconnectedness changed how we think</a>. The internet in the '90s was less about working on your social media brand and more about making sure your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/neopets-trivia-facts/shannon-baker" target="_blank">Neopet</a> was doing well. Redditors&nbsp;have come together on the new internet to wax poetic about all the old internet things we miss.&nbsp;

The Joker first appeared in the debut issue of Batman in 1940. He has been wreaking havoc throughout the universe of DC Comics ever since.

Joker: Gotham's Nightmare

While treating patients at Arkham Asylum, psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel fell in love with Joker. The rest, they say, is history—or so we thought. Now Gotham's most notorious henchwomen is one of DC's favorite antiheroes.

Harley Quinn

There is no comic book relationship as&nbsp;well-known or misinterpreted as the bond shared between the Joker and Harley Quinn. Despite <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/cool-fan-art-of-the-joker-and-harley-quinn/zack-howe" target="_blank">the fandom that has rallied around their coupling</a>, the history of the Joker and Harley Quinn is a strange, twisted, and startlingly violent tale. Even in a medium that is <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/sexist-comic-book-moments/ranker-comics" target="_blank">notoriously sexist</a>, Joker and Harley&nbsp;give&nbsp;the term &quot;toxic relationship&quot; a whole new&nbsp;definition.Looking back on all the times the Joker abused Harley Quinn, one might mistake the demented clown's actions as typically&nbsp;morbid; after all, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/gory-moments-jokers-comic-history/jeffrichard" target="_blank">when isn't the Joker acting like an unhinged killer</a>? However, the character often takes his villainy to new heights when he's with Harley, resulting in scenes that are ugly in a manner that feels far too real for comics.&nbsp;As the popularity of both characters continues to rise, it's important to&nbsp;look back at some of their&nbsp;relationship's darkest moments. While the duo certainly makes for a fun set of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/harley-quinn-babes/jordan-love" target="_blank">Halloween&nbsp;costumes</a>, this isn't the type of romance you want to emulate.&nbsp;

Who better for creative and talented artists to recreate than favorite classic Disney characters? Check out these clever, stunning, and occasionally jawdropping works for your own doodling inspiration.

Many illustrators try their hand at creating <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/amazing-disney-fan-art/crystal-brackett" target="_blank">amazing Disney fan art</a>&nbsp;but illustrator <a href="http://dylanbonner.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Dylan Bonner</a> is exceptionally skilled at the feat.There is hardly&nbsp;another studio in the world with as many beloved films and show series as the Walt Disney conglomerate. In fact, Disney has a monopoly on animated&nbsp;princesses and other&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/realistic-disney-fan-art/justin-andress" target="_blank">characters that fans love to emulate with their own realistic drawings</a>. While <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/disturbing-disney-fan-art/brandon-michaels" target="_blank">some Disney fan art is disturbing</a>, each piece has been created by artists who put their blood, sweat, and tears into the&nbsp;work. Their effort is commendable.Dylan Bonner's work&nbsp;stands out, though, because he removes&nbsp;beloved Disney princesses from their familiar settings and depicts them in whole new worlds. With vivid coloring and great attention to detail, Bonner's princesses make sense in the gowns of other&nbsp;animated, royal characters. When Jasmine eats Snow White's apple, Bonner's viewers wonder why the Arabian princess didn't star as a sleeping maiden, instead. When the avant-garde artist's Cinderella enters the Bayou, it seems like she belongs there more than&nbsp;Tiana&nbsp;does.Here are some of Dylan Bonner's most charming Disney princess crossovers. Which ones would you like to see become new animated classics?

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/romantic-comedy-tv-shows-and-series/reference" target="_blank">For a lot of TV series</a>, their sizable episode orders can make it difficult for the writers and show runners to produce a string of original, fresh content on a weekly basis. Occasionally, the pressue&nbsp;can lead to those shows delivering viewers with the kind of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-mismatched-tv-couples/ranker-tv" target="_blank">TV threesomes that no one asked for</a>, and we&#39;re not talking about just love triangles or throuples here, either.

Awkward & Cringey

Most everyone has encountered everyday objects that make them feel a little off. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/awful-thrift-store-art/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Weird art</a> is one thing,&nbsp;but when there is&nbsp;a complete disregard for functionality by&nbsp;weird household objects, it can be <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/weird-body-art-pictures/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">downright baffling</a>.

Combining trivia, physical challenges, and over-the-top obstacles and hosted by the affable Marc Summers, it was must-watch TV for many kids. But while you may remember the show through&nbsp;a nostalgic, joyful haze, the truth behind Nickelodeon's Double Dare show is much stranger than you might think. Stories of what it was like to compete on Double Dare reveal a smelly, sloppy mess.One of the weirdest Nickelodeon shows to ever air on the network, but also one of its most popular, Double Dare took the traditional game show format to new zany heights. Whether that be by making its competitors jump into various liquid mixtures to find tiny cloth flags, or running on human hamster wheels,&nbsp;Double Dare never failed to deliver&nbsp;a crazy time for viewers at home.

Film Trivia

While most kids&nbsp;movies are made and catered specifically to their demographic, that doesn't mean that the older creative members behind the films aren't ever subtle about <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-kid-movies-for-adults/anncasano" target="_blank">inserting some humor or references for adults</a>. However, some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scenes-cut-from-horror-movies/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">deleted movie scenes from over the years</a> have proven to push that line a little too far, where the adult content in the scenes either completely change or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/deleted-scenes/anncasano" target="_blank">alter the tone of the film beyond repair</a>.Even a company as careful as Disney is not always able to avoid disturbing scenes deleted from kids movies. Whether that be scenes that went on too long and into much darker territory than their theatrical versions did or sequences that were entirely cut from the film due to their thematic material, there are a number of examples of creepy children's movie scenes.Here are just some of those dark or gross kids movie scenes that were, thankfully, excluded from their theatrical releases.

Throughout the past decade, social media has not only become a place for everyday people to express themselves and share their opinions on a daily basis, but for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-celebrities-on-instagram/matt-manser" target="_blank">the celebrities they follow and look up to</a> to do the same. However, that doesn't mean that the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-hated-celebrity-tweets/matthewcoleweiss" target="_blank">celebrities always follow online rules, either</a>, which is why there have been a shockingly high number of celebrities who got banned on social media in recent years.Whether it be for posting nude photos as a form of protest against one social platform's rules and regulations, or giving themselves a self-imposed ban - there have been plenty of famous people banned from social media.

Great Songs by One-Hit Wonders

There was a brief period of time&nbsp;in the early&nbsp;2000s when&nbsp;emo music&nbsp;seemed like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stuff-only-emo-kids-understand/rebecca-shortall" target="_blank">the most dominant of any genre</a>.&nbsp;The songs from that era&nbsp;helped to define the tastes and attitudes of an entire generation. But just like with any trend, more than a few of those emo songs totally disappeared from everyone's&nbsp;radars. This departure happened partly because <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/emo-bands-and-musicians/reference" target="_blank">so many&nbsp;bands</a> were trying to make it big.Whether the song came from a mega-popular&nbsp;emo band like Hawthorne&nbsp;Heights or The Used, or from a&nbsp;lesser-known band,&nbsp;there were&nbsp;so many great tracks that deserve another listen.

What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.

Love on Screen

No matter how many series have managed&nbsp;to get it right and stick the landing with their finales, there are so many TV shows that failed to live up to fans&#39; standards. That might come down to weird pacing, last-minute twists, or bizarre, unresolved cliffhangers &ndash; or, the problems could have to do with the romantic pairings. Few series finale decisions&nbsp;are quite as frustrating for viewers as seeing TV characters who chose the wrong partner in the end.

Whether it be through behind-the-scenes complications or genuine narrative fumbling&nbsp;by the creative team, there are many reasons why there are so many&nbsp;TV characters who ended up with the wrong person. But no matter what the excuse is, the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-mismatched-tv-couples/ranker-tv" target="_blank">worst TV romances</a> always feel particularly annoying, especially for anyone who spent years staying up to date on the show.

Now, it&#39;s entirely possible this list could change in the coming years, if say, Meredith Grey&nbsp;ends up with someone other than the late, great Derek Shepherd. But for now, the absolute most&nbsp;disappointing TV couplings of all time consist of limp <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-will-they-or-wont-they-couples-in-tv-history/ranker-tv" target="_blank">will-they-or-won&#39;t-they</a> matches and problematic partnerships that can&#39;t live up to the standards set by the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-tv-couples/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">best couples on television</a>.

Going Deep in Harry Potter

Hindsight is 20/20, and "Easter eggs" are inside jokes and references hidden for observant audiences, but there's a different name for the hints writers give at what's to come later in the story.

It's Called Foreshadowing

Culture

As most fans of the series already know, the&nbsp;Harry Potter books are filled to the brim with subtle, clever moments of foreshadowing. To some, these&nbsp;references to future events and places only became clear and obvious as the story went on. But, those moments of foreshadowing in the Harry Potter books don't just come in the form of&nbsp;building&nbsp;up to Harry's eventual fight with Voldemort at the end of the series, or the growing <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/why-harry-and-hermione-belong-together/rebecca-shortall" target="_blank">romantic tension between Ron and Hermione</a>.In fact, the books are littered with hidden messages and details, most of which slyly set up tragic character deaths in the series' later installments, or the incipient introduction&nbsp;of major places, objects, and characters. While some&nbsp;of these Harry Potter foreshadowing moments&nbsp;managed to make their way into the film adaptations too, it shouldn't be surprising&nbsp;that most were left&nbsp;for the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/things-book-readers-hate-about-the-harry-potter-movies/stephanroget" target="_blank">book readers to discuss amongst themselves</a>.So, in honor of author J.K. Rowling's hard and detail-oriented work&nbsp;writing the series, let's explore some&nbsp;of the best moments of foreshadowing in the Harry Potter books.&nbsp;
