colere.blog is a curiosity journal — a growing collection of short, well-researched articles about the strange, the overlooked and the fascinating corners of culture, history and science.
Why did a football match help start the breakup of Yugoslavia? Why do we say “cheese” for photos? What happened when the world’s oldest tree was accidentally cut down? These are the kinds of questions we love to chase.
The site is written and edited by Volkan, an independent creator based in Turkey, and is published in multiple languages. Alongside the blog, we also build small software tools such as AICheck Pro, a browser extension that helps people check whether images and videos are AI-generated.
