These poor cakes…and then there’s the people who have to eat them… Cakes are supposed to be fun and bring us joy. What they’re NOT supposed to do is make us furious, angry, confused, and possibly sick. But I think all of these cake disasters probably did that. And then some. What’s the world coming...

I understand that this might seem like a petty complaint, given how awful the world is right now and how many people are going through real and sometimes deadly hardships. But, you have to admit, it would be nice to get out of town right about now and go on a trip somewhere without having...

Let’s get silly, let’s get funny, and let’s get RANDOM! I’m talking specifically about tweets. Because we all know that random tweets (that also happen to be hilarious) are also the BEST tweets. There are so many funny (and unfunny) people on Twitter that it can be hard to sift through everything and get to...

Do you think maybe we should all just go back to the old days when we washed our clothes in rivers and streams? By the looks of the photos you’re about to see, I think that might not be the worst idea in the world. We’ve all had our laundry mishaps during our lives and...

These photos all brought a tear to my eye…and not in a good way! Seeing a routine laundry endeavor go wrong really makes me upset for some reason…maybe it’s because I can relate to the hardships these folks are going through… I’ve definitely had my fair share of laundry mishaps in my day, and when...

Well, here’s a question you don’t see every day, right? Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’re aware that the entire planet (and especially the United States) has been decimated by a deadly pandemic that caught all of us by surprise earlier this year. Things seem to be getting better here slowly, but it...

If you think cartoons are all fun and games and rainbows and sunshine, think again, friend. There is some pretty dark and disturbing material embedded in those seemingly innocent and fun TV shows and movies that might surprise you…or even shock you. Let’s get weird with folks from AskReddit. 1. That’s a little weird. “There...

I have a pretty wicked scar on my chest that’s about 4 inches long and looks vicious. People ask me how I got it and I always say jokingly, “a knife fight”. But the truth is far less impressive, my friends. Here’s what happened: we were on a family vacation in Florida when I was...

When I look back on photos of myself and my friends from middle school and high school, all I can really say is…wow, you guys were pretty stupid! But I guess we all do that, right? Life is about growing, changing, and constantly striving to get better…or at least a little less cringeworthy… Let’s see...

Life is funny. You can do something or practice something for years and years, and still be really bad at it for some reason. It’s kind of aggravating, don’t you think? I know I sure do! And I have so many of these things in my life that I’m not even gonna take the time...

Whether you have $5 in your bank account or $5,000, there are some meals that stick with you and that you still enjoy from when times were lean and you had to do everything in your life on the cheap. I think my go-to cheap meal is just a plain cheese quesadilla. Cheese and flour...

It’s a big, scary, depressing world out there, and a lot of times we tend to forget about the pure, wholesome things out there that bring us comfort. But if we dig under the grimy surface of all the bad news and negativity that exists, there are a lot of wonderful facts and stories that...

I don’t know about you, but I need a ray of sunshine in my life right now…or maybe a whole bunch of rays of sunshine. Because it’s been rough going lately, hasn’t it? A worldwide health crisis, a divided country, riots and protests in the street…when will it end? Hopefully, the answer is very soon,...

Sit! Stay! Shake! Heal!!!!! If you’ve ever tried to train a dog, you’ve probably used these commands before. And if you’ve tried to train your cat…well, that was a huge mistake because cats don’t listen to anyone, but they do learn a lot of things along the way from being conditioned. Like when to eat,...

Have you ever noticed that sometimes, things that were designed for one s*x or one group of people end up getting used by other people than was originally intended? It really does happen all the time…even if you’re not exactly paying attention to that phenomenon. What’s something that was designed for the use of one...
