When you watch a top-tier dog show such as Crufts from England, you expect it to be refined and elegant. Well, one pooch named Maisie, who happened to win ‘Best in Show’ at the recent competition, threw all of that out the window when she decided to…ahem…relieve herself during her victory lap. This tweet pretty...

Attention, all of you folks who grew up in the 1980s and everyone who loves toys in general! Micro Machines, those iconic toys from the 1980s and 1990s, are coming back in 2020! Hasbro and Wicked Cool Toys are partnering up to bring back these awesome, very detailed toys that were a big hit back...

Amanda Coffman taught for 21 years until recently, when she decided she just couldn’t do it anymore. Why? According to Coffman, “Teaching is like a bad marriage. You never get your needs met, but you stay in it for the kids.” So, on February 10 of this year, the veteran teacher resigned during a school...

Millions of Americans are now being forced to work from home or have been forced to leave their jobs and stay home because of the coronavirus. What can people do with all this spare time? There are only so many movies and TV shows you can watch before you start to get a little antsy....

I’m not judging at all, because we are living in very scary times, but a lot of people out there are doing some very weird and frankly stupid things right now in reaction to the coronavirus. I guess that’s what happens when the world gets turned on its head and people start to panic. And...

Turn on any news channel or look at any website right now and it’s pretty much all the same coverage: the coronavirus is spreading around the planet at a frightening speed and people are justifiably terrified. But there are also other things happening in the world right now, too. And we’re missing out on a...

There is so much hate and vitriol on the Internet these days and quite frankly, it’s pretty exhausting. That’s why this article is important. In it, real people talk about the things that random people online can do to make complete strangers feel better. Hey, be nice to each other out there! Everyone is going...

I remember when I was a youngster and I went to see the movie Speed in the theater. I was totally riveted by the action and then…the speeding bus made that ENORMOUS jump over the freeway. I was young enough to say to myself “WOW”. But the guy down the row from me said “yeah right!” really...

Some movies get better with time, some just don’t age well at all. I watched The Sting not too long ago. That film is from 1973 and it is still FABULOUS. But then you watch some other movies from the 1980s or even the 1990s and they just really don’t hold up well at all. AskReddit users...

You never know what the heck you’re gonna stumble upon when you move into a new house or apartment. I can say that the best thing I ever found was a hand-made desk in Chicago that was a real work of art. I moved with that desk about three times before I had to give...

Things sure have changed in the past 10 years, huh? (Especially in the last month, or so). That includes a lot of things, clothes, technology, trends, etc. Let’s take a deep dive into things that were totally normal 10 years ago but really aren’t anymore. AskReddit users sound off! 1. Yeah, don’t see much of...

I think it’s safe to say that police departments are not usually known for their humor or for their funny social media accounts. But the police department in Lawrence, Kansas is very popular because of the funny and witty tweets that they send off on a regular basis. As a former resident of Lawrence, these...

There’s A LOT going on in the world these days and all of us are being pulled in a million different directions. So it’s important to step back, take some deep breaths, and plug some legitimate, 100% true facts into your brain. Facts are good. Truth is good. Enjoy! 1. I feel this deep in...

These days, I’d say you’d be pretty hard-pressed to find folks who are really talented at tying knots. Unless you work in pretty specific industries, happened to be a Scout growing up, or spend a lot of time camping and hiking… a lot of people just don’t know how to tie knots properly. In the...

I had a friend who was a die-hard vegan. He was very outspoken about it and would shame the rest of us if we ate meat or dairy. Then guess what happened a few years later? That’s right, he’s now eating steak, drinking milk, and is living his best life! I never really got an...
