I like the sound of this! Mark Douglas is the CEO of a marketing and advertising company called SteelHouse who has very specific rules when it comes to vacation time for his employees. No, he’s not cutting down on time off – he requires that his workers take vacation time, and he gives each employee...

Male serial killers and criminals get a lot of the attention out there, but, trust me, there are plenty of wicked and vile women out there as well who have a place on the list of the most notorious murderers in history. Take a look at these women and explore their extremely creepy Wikipedia pages...

Hey, we can’t all be Clark Griswold, okay? Some of us just want to do the bare minimum (or nothing at all) when it comes to Christmas decorations. Which camp do you fall in? These folks definitely belong to the latter category…but are they lazy or are they geniuses? You be the judge… 1. You...

First of all, this woman needs to have a movie made about her life ASAP. I know I’d go see it without a doubt. But let’s back up a second. Humans of New York is a website that interviews people on the streets of New York and reports their stories. It’s a great way to...

Have you ever noticed this before: if you work with smokers, they take breaks constantly. I’ve worked with some people who took at least one cigarette break per hour and sometimes even more. That time really adds up. A company in Japan has taken notice and decided to give non-smokers an extra six days of vacation...

I think this story is incredibly sweet, and I have a feeling you’re going to agree with me wholeheartedly. Staff at the Ingham County Animal Control and Shelter in Mason, Michigan, sent out a call to local kids to see if they’d like to come to the shelter to read books and spend time with...

The whole anti-vaccination craze continues to be an issue across the world and in the United States, but one country is taking a stand against parents who decide not to give their kids crucial vaccines that fight off potentially deadly diseases. In Germany, the parliament recently voted to make measles vaccinations for children compulsory, and...

If you’ve ever broken a bone and had to wear a plaster cast, you know how frustrating, annoying, and uncomfortable they are. I broke my hand when I was 12, and those six weeks were pretty shitty. My arm felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and I had to tape a trash bag around...

There’s nothing quite like the love between a pet and its owner, is there? A truck driver named Matthew certainly feels this way, and he was devastated when his cat, Ashes, who was his traveling companion on the road, got out of his truck and disappeared when Matthew was in Ohio in July. Matthew searched...

Do a lot of married people sleep in separate rooms? By the sounds of this article, it sure seems like it. But what are their reasons? In case you’ve been wondering why folks out there do this, people on AskReddit shared their personal stories. Do you do this? If so, let us know why in...

I don’t know why this is a nationwide phenomenon, but every Trader Joe’s parking lot I’ve ever been in has been tiny. I’m talking about a bumper-to-bumper obstacle course from which there is barely an escape route? Do you know what I’m talking about here? I think you do…and the people behind these tweets do, too…...

What should Snapchat really be used for? Well, cat photos, of course! Was there ever any doubt about that? I don’t think so. Let’s take a peek at some of the best cat Snapchats out there. 1. Awwwww. Peepers. https://twitter.com/AwwwwCats/status/1083723721418964992 2. Now you do. https://twitter.com/andrewfalloon/status/1117303245829885952 3. Look into the darkness. As I look into the abyss, the...

In a small Austrian town on the border of Germany sits a structure with a notorious past. It was here, in a nondescript building downtown called the Braunau am Inn, that Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QQYZzHned/ The building has been used as a school and a library over the years, but...

Sometimes, in our strange world of social media and online news, stories that went “viral” a long time ago reappear out of the blue for some reason. Can we explain it? No, but we roll with it, that’s for sure! And this tale is pretty funny, too. Let’s turn back the clock to 2001… A...
