We all know what’s going on right now and it’s terrible, tragic, and infuriating. And people who are acting selfish and refusing to accept what’s going on are just making things worse, in my humble opinion. I understand that people are frustrated, but buying into conspiracy theories and showing a huge lack of regard and...

The scourge that has ravished the entire planet for the last few months is known as Covid-19 and there’s no doubt that this entire experience has been very frightening. As of now, more than 100,000 Americans have died from Covid-19 during this crisis, and families and communities have been ripped apart. Now it’s time to...

It’s kind of a scary thought to ponder, but you’ve probably considered it at one point or another. How will human beings become extinct? What will be the final catalyst that wipes us off the planet for good? Are you ready to do a little thinking about our existence? Here’s what folks on AskReddit had...

I used to work with a guy. Let’s call him Tony. To put it bluntly, Tony was a real piece of shit AND he was a terrible worker. But, for some reason, my boss wouldn’t fire him under any circumstances. He showed up late every day, he was lazy, and he was just a total...

Life is all about choices and sometimes those choices can be tough and can have drastic repercussions. But, every once in a while, you just have to commit and take a leap of faith, no matter what the situation is. Here are some good, true stories from folks on AskReddit about times in their life...

Hey, there’s really nothing wrong with being late to the game about certain things…but it can be just a wee bit embarrassing when you discover you just learned something that THE ENTIRE WORLD ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT. DOH! That’s what all of these “Today Years Old” tweets are about and that’s what makes all of them...

As a huge fan of all things horror and science fiction, I have to say that I absolutely LOVE these illustrations. They come to us from an illustrator named Ed Harrington who lives in Virginia. Among other artworks, Harrington draws characters from horror and sci-fi movies as though they were instructions from IKEA. The end...

For all of those people out there who are denying that Covid-19 is even real and is some kind of conspiracy theory: take a look at these testimonials from people who have had to deal with it in one way or another. It’s here, it’s bad, and it’s killing people all over the world. And...

It’s never pleasant to think about death, extinction, or the world coming to an end, but I will say that it definitely makes for some good conversation. Will it be a nuclear war? A plague? An asteroid that hits Earth and wipes us all out? It could be any number of things… Here’s what people...

There’s a difference between people who aren’t very good at their jobs and those who willingly do bad things because they are…well, shitty people. Sometimes, you can cut people some slack if they mess up at work and it was an honest mistake, but it always blows my mind when rude, crude, ignorant people are...

Sometimes in life, you just have to go all in, you know what I mean? It’s usually debatable whether that’s a good idea or not, but once in a while, you’re thrown into a situation and you just decide to go for it all the way and not turn back. Are you ready for some...

We all get a little rusty sometimes. And by that, I mean that we all get so busy with work, family, activities, etc. that we forget to challenge ourselves and learn new information. Because all of us should strive to be lifelong learners, no doubt about that. So absorb these 10 facts and they may...

For one reason or another, some of the food we eat here in the United States really grosses people out around the world. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is totally normal, right? Not so fast, friend…others think that it’s actually kind of weird… In these funny tweets, people from other countries talk about food...

If you live somewhere your whole life, you take the “normal” things you eat all the time for granted. But that doesn’t mean that people from other parts of the world eat the same stuff as we do. Far from it, in fact. When you get right down to it, there are a lot of...

So far, this year has been a total disaster. There’s really no way to sugarcoat it, is there? I didn’t think so. We’re all stuck at home, people are out of work, and now we have Asian murder hornets to contend with. What’s next?!?! But human beings are tough and resilient and we’re going to...
