If you’ve ever encountered a pair of edible underwear in real life, you may be wondering: how the heck did this become a thing? Luckily for you, we’ve got a history lesson on the topic. It all started with the phrase, “Eat my shorts.” Edible underwear was invented in the early 1970s by a man...

Stealing other people’s WiFi is, unfortunately, a common phenomenon. Anything to save money, right? But this sneaky practice causes WiFi speed to slow down considerably, and it’s not sustainable in the long run for anyone involved. If you suspect that someone may be stealing your precious WiFi, there are a few ways to figure out...

Here’s one parenting story that you hopefully won’t relate to too much. Brittany Berry, mother of three, shared this viral story on Facebook. It’s a disgusting one, but she decided to tell it anyway — “if only to serve as birth control for the younger generation.” It all started when Brittany went for a run and...

For those who don’t live nearby, going to Disneyland is a feat that requires months of pre-planning and budgeting. But one man gets to go every single year for free, and he has been since 1955. Dave MacPherson has a lifetime pass to Disneyland for a very special reason: he was the park’s first-ever customer....

Living without the internet in 2019 is a tough proposition. But even if you pay for WiFi, you may not be able to access the internet from all corners of your home, thanks to the dreaded “dead zones.” Dead zones are areas of a building that don’t receive a WiFi signal. This can be due...

Hi, were you looking for some nightmare fuel? Happy to oblige! The harpy eagle is the largest eagle on the planet, and it’s by far the scariest to look at. These strange, enormous birds go viral on social media on a regular basis, and that’s because they do not look like something that should exist...

Since the dawn of candy, parents have been warning their kids away from eating too many sweets to avoid a “sugar rush.” This so-called sugar rush supposedly causes hyperactivity, which can in turn lead to naughty behavior. But there’s no such thing. Study after study demonstrates that, nope, the sugar rush is not a real...

Buckingham Palace seems like the height of class. The property’s staff enjoys its own swimming pool, squash and tennis courts, choir and more. One thing that they don’t have, though, is a private bar — at least not anymore. The staff of Buckingham Palace apparently enjoyed their private bar a little too much. The Queen’s...

Good news, runners! Contrary to popular wisdom, running might  not be so bad for your knees after all. In fact, it may actually improve your knee health. One reason that running is assumed to be bad for your knees is the existence of “runner’s knee,” or patellofemoral pain syndrome. It’s fairly common for runners to experience...

In a tragic incident, a man dove into an underwater room to carry out what should have been a romantic proposal — but he never made it out. Steven Weber and girlfriend Kenesha Antoine were on vacation together in Tanzania. They stayed at the luxury Manta Resort, famous for its floating accommodations and underwater rooms,...

This is one of the most disturbing and bizarre adoption stories I have ever come across. This couple believes that the 6-year-old child they adopted from Ukraine is actually a 22-year-old sociopath. Kristine and Michael Barnett adopted Natalia Grace at the (alleged) age of six. Three years later, the now-divorced couple left her alone in...

There are two types of people in the world: those who talk to dogs in a “baby voice” and those who can’t stand it. But regardless of your personal stance, there is actual scientific evidence in favor of the practice…at least when it comes to puppies. A 2017 study investigated why pet owners often use...

The good news is that scientists are coming up with creative ways to battle the effects of climate change. The bad news is that one of them involves cannibalism. The NY Post reports that a Swedish scientist suggested eating human flesh to combat climate change at a recent summit in Stockholm. Magnus Soderlund of the...

Online shopping is always a bit of a gamble—you never know what you’re actually going to get in the mail. But 25,000 ecstasy tablets? Now that’s a new twist. A middle-aged couple in Austria opened a package one morning that was supposed to contain dresses from a retailer in the Netherlands. To their extreme surprise, it contained...

These days, it’s generally assumed that you’ll share a bed with your partner after you move in together. But that wasn’t always the case. There was a time that sleeping in separate twin beds was considered progressive and forward-thinking, according to a new book by literature professor Hilary Hinds. Just like today, folks in the...
