If you’re struggling to keep your space tidy, a recent study suggests that a light dose of anxiety might help you clean up your act. Researchers at the University of Connecticut presented test participants with a shiny statuette and a list of seven questions to consider about the statue (such as “How old do you...

The last season of HBO’s Game of Thrones is here, and I for one couldn’t be more pumped. This show had me hooked since day 1, so to finally be able to see how it all ends is gonna be amazing (and, knowing this show, more than a little bittersweet). You can’t throw a brick...

Winter is here, b****es! After almost TWO WHOLE YEARS of waiting, Game of Thrones fans will finally get a chance to see how it all ends! Who will sit on the Iron Throne? Will it be Daenerys and her dragons? Is Jon Snow the “Prince That Was Promised?” Will the Night King and his White Walkers...

As just about everyone who doesn’t live under a rock knows by now, the final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones began airing on April 14. Fans have been theorizing who’s going to end up on the throne for YEARS now, along with wondering how many of Khaleesi’s dragons will actually survive the final fight. While...

The Midtown Uniform Instagram page has been amusing its followers for some time now. The page skewers NYC finance bros on the basis of their almost identical style choices – namely, a button-down shirt, slacks, and a Patagonia fleece vest. The page’s name actually comes from the fact that SO MANY of these professionals wear...

Millions of people around the world use ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft every day, and while the majority of them enjoy their rides without incident, accidents and dangerous situations sadly do happen. Most recently, there was the case of 21-year-old college student Samantha Josephson. She ended up dead after mistaken getting into a car...

It’s a pretty well-known fact at this point that J.K. Rowling, author of the insanely popular Harry Potter series, had most of the major plot twists planned out from the start. She’s always been incredibly meticulous about the tiniest details in the world she created. Through it all, however, there was one question she always...

Are you an INTJ, or an ESFP? ISTP, or ENFJ? Those are just some of the 16 possible results of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), one of the world’s most popular personality tests. You might have even taken it in the past, either just for fun online or at school/work as part of an evaluation....

Let’s face it: the daily rigors of modern life can definitely leave any of us smelling more funky than fresh. People have been stanky forever, but just 100 short years ago virtually nobody was even concerned with body odor. It wasn’t until the 1920s that BO became enough of a taboo for people to actually...

Some people think life is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re gonna get. And that’s a fine attitude, mostly, but let’s face it: when you buy something like, say, a leather purse… you’re expecting it’s not going to be partly made of cardboard, right? Check out these great examples of people...

When you were younger, did you play “Truth or Dare” with your friends? Unless you were living under a rock, I’m betting you did. It’s kind of a rite of passage growing up. It might even be how you got your first kiss or saw your first bra. Still, the dares I witnessed were pretty tame compared...

Breaking up with someone over text is probably the worst possible way to break up with someone (other than just ghosting them). That, however, is exactly what comedian Mike Primavera has been doing for over a year now. “Honestly, I started doing it out of boredom,” he explains. “Most of the numbers I texted didn’t...

Our planet is full of some truly amazing natural phenomena. It’s really incredible the kinds of things that nature can do entirely on its own – sometimes, you’d swear it was a trick. One such phenomenon is the “cross sea,” most famously observed near a small island off the western coast of France. The Isle of Rhé is...

In today’s society, women are under enormous pressure to look “perfect.” Beauty standards demand perfect skin, a toned waist, bouncy booty, ample bosom, full lips, flowing hair, and so much more. Some say that these standards are there to appease men (they are), but how much do guys actually care? The good folks at Berry asked several...

British relationship blogger Oloni went viral for encouraging her female readers to take a leap of faith and go ahead and ask out someone they’ve been crushing on. It’s definitely a bold move, but, hey. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, am I right? She asked her followers to participate in her #datechallenge, and then share a screenshot...
