I can almost guarantee that this story is going to aggravate you in a major way. And if this video would not have gone viral, would the public have even known about it? Kids need food for energy (and, you know, surviving) and they need energy to learn on a daily basis (duh). It seems...

This might be the headline and the story of the year, in my humble opinion. Also, I love me some White Castle and the nearest one to me is about six hours away, so I needed to get a little WC in my life in one way or another. And this story sure is a doozy! Back...

It looks like it’s going to a loooooong, cold, crazy winter from late 2019 into the early months of 2020. This article ranks all 50 states in terms of how bad, or, let’s just go ahead and say miserable, their winters are. These rankings come from Thrillist and take into account temperatures, weather patterns, how...

Remember that selfie that Jennifer Aniston posted about a month ago that got people all riled up? https://www.instagram.com/p/B3o8vWDhlOh/ Well, it looks like Friends fans have good reason to get all fired up. News recently came out that a Friends special reunion show is in the works, and millions of people across the globe could not be happier. There’s...

Baby, it’s cold outside! We aren’t even into December yet, but much of the country has already seen frigid temperatures and huge snowstorms this fall. So, predictably, some climate change deniers and skeptics have rushed out (as they are wont to do) and cried from the rooftops that global warming and climate change don’t really...

I’m a horror fanatic, and the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, is definitely on my bucket list to visit someday. The hotel was author Stephen King’s inspiration for The Shining, which was published in 1977 and was made into a great horror film in 1980. King published Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining, in 2013, and...

Have you ever met someone who thought they were being really deep and spiritual with a Chinese or Japanese character tattooed on their body, but then they later found out that symbol meant “beef with broccoli”? Lol…. yeah it actually happens all the time, my friends. And these AskRedddit users shared some really “good” ones....

I love a good, wholesome animal story, and this one certainly checks all the boxes. In the city of Niš, Serbia, a man named Sasha Pesic has been running a shelter for dogs since 2008. Pesic originally came up with the plan for the sanctuary after he discovered four abandoned puppies on his way home...

This seems like common sense, doesn’t it? But as they say, common sense isn’t very common. It looks like Italy is taking a big step in the fight against global warming and climate change, and for that, we should be thankful…and we should hope that this kind of curriculum spreads across the globe. Lorenzo Fioramonti...

Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, and while he still remains in the game as owner of the Charlotte Hornets, he has also shifted his focus to helping out the needy in North Carolina. Jordan recently opened the first of two clinics that he funded in Charlotte. The Novant Health...

I’ve always heard rumors about places you aren’t allowed to fly over (also, places that the Pope refuses to fly over), but it’s all just been speculation and hearsay for me up until now. BUT NO LONGER. I did a little research and decided to learn about the actual places airplanes are not allowed to fly...

If you’ve ever watched the American version of The Office, you know that Toby Flenderson is always the whipping boy. Michael Scott, the mediocre bossman, can’t stand the sight of Toby and lets him know every chance he gets that he’d prefer Toby quit his job and not show his face around the office any longer....

I remember when I was a young boy, I dreamed about my dog Quincy being able to talk. I’d think about the conversations we’d have and all the great adventures we’d go on together. He was my best pal, and his being able to talk would just be the icing on the cake… As you’ve...

It’s heartbreaking to think about how many abandoned, stray, homeless dogs and cats there are across the country. Animals that are just waiting to find a safe, warm, loving home where they can live out their days in peace and comfort. And while there are countless shelters and organizations doing great work out there in...
