Twitter can really be TOO MUCH sometimes. When literally everyone with an internet connection has a platform for every single one of their half-baked ideas (as long as it fits into 280 characters), you’re bound to come across some duds. But other times, Twitter’s uninhibited atmosphere makes for some 10/10 jokes. Over the years, certain...

Being a lawyer isn’t easy. Some lawyers defend individuals who have done morally reprehensible things, while others help powerful insurance companies, corporations, and other entities take advantage of less powerful people. “Legal” doesn’t always equal “moral,” as all lawyers know very well. Current and former lawyers took to AskReddit to share the most morally challenging...

Opossums have a horrible reputation; they’re often seen as dirty, ugly, and just plain gross. But contrary to what many people think, there are definitely some positive attributes to the opossum — the only marsupial found in the United States and Canada. Unlike other small wild mammals, opossums almost never contract or spread rabies. They...

You know that feeling of accomplishment that you get when you finally sort through your belongings and take your old crap to Goodwill? Well, you might have to rethink that. Not every used item is a good candidate for Goodwill (or any other thrift store), and nobody knows that better than the employees who have to...

Everyone always tells you to “drink more water,” but sometimes you end up with five half-full glasses of water sitting around the house in random places and then what? Is it okay to drink a glass of water after it’s been sitting around for a while? Reader’s Digest has the answer. Apparently, it’s not necessarily a great idea...

If there’s one great thing about winter, it’s the lack of bugs. No pesky mosquitoes making you itch every time you go outside at night! It’s such a relief — but, like, what even happens to mosquitoes in winter? Do they fly south, like birds? Not quite, according to Mental Floss. Mosquitoes have difficulty surviving in any...

Every once in a while, a nice dinner at a restaurant turns into a terrible experience. Between crappy service, pests and food poisoning, there are so many ways a restaurant can mess up your meal (and your body). And when they do, you probably want never to go back. On AskReddit, users shared the one restaurant...

When you’re a kid, rules can seem all-important and unchangeable (whether you actually follow them or not). Then, when you grow up and become an adult yourself, you realize that adults are really just making up the rules as they go along. Some rules are broad, meant to address systemic issues. But others created under...

There are two types of people in the world: people who love pranks and people who cannot stand them. But regardless of which category you fall into, this creative prank by a Reddit user is impossible not to appreciate. Reddit user SeamanTheSailor pranked his dad by sticking one of his belongings to the ceiling every...

Every once in a while, someone comes to AskReddit with a totally absurd hypothetical question. In this case, the question was about how one would manage to drink a 12-pack of beer every single day for a month while still holding down a job. The prize? A million dollars. As many Redditors pointed out, drinking...

Chrissy Teigen is famous for many things: being a model, writing best-selling cookbooks, and publicly roasting her husband John Legend. And now, she is also famous for eating eggs in the middle of the night. Chrissy revealed her “night eggs” habit on Twitter recently, and it drew a lot of attention because, hello — WTF...

While many people pat themselves on the back simply for putting things into the recycling bin, one Japanese artist is taking the idea of “recycling” to a whole new level. Haruki, or @02ESyRaez4VhR2l on Twitter, is an expert at the Japanese art of kirigami. Kirigami is similar to its more well-known cousin, origami. But while...

Gender reveal parties are seriously getting out of hand, and this hard-to-believe story about a gender reveal party that ended with a plane crash is proof. A couple in Turkey, Texas, rented a crop-duster plane and pilot for their over-the-top gender reveal party. The plan was for the plane to fly over the guests and...

Food delivery can be a really dull and boring job. But every once in a while, something truly weird happens, and it makes for a story that keeps getting told for years to come. After all, when you deal with strangers all day, you’re bound to come across some weird ones! Redditors who have worked...

Dating is a numbers game; the more dates you go on, the more likely you are to find someone you actually click with. But you’re also likely to meet a LOT of duds along the way, and some are definitely worse than others. On AskReddit, someone shared one of their own worst date stories and then...
