We hear a lot of lip service from big corporations and companies about how they plan on doing wonderful things for the environment, but a lot of it just seems to go nowhere. That’s why what LEGO has accomplished is pretty incredible. The folks at LEGO originally set a goal of 2022 for their production...

I have some very strange childhood memories that I’ve never been able to explain. I’ve also never been able to shake them from my mind for one reason or another, and they are weird. Do you have odd memories like that? Ones you can’t seem to get rid of from your past? AskReddit users shared...

Let’s face the facts: guys are…not the smarter sex. We’re rude, crude, ignorant, and we should thank our lucky stars that the ladies put up with us at all. This is especially true when we’re younger. But who am I kidding, a lot of us never grow up and our frontal lobes never fully develop...

Were you a theatre kid when you were growing up? Do you have some fond memories of getting up on that stage and wowing your family and friends? If you did love the spotlight when you were younger (or maybe even now), these tweets will probably look familiar. 1. Let’s see a show. https://twitter.com/trichrds/status/1174175983110447104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buzzfeed.com%2Fsydrobinson1%2Ftheatre-kid-tweets 2....

You mad, bro? Or maybe you’re just worried that folks are constantly mad at you? It’s not so uncommon, after all. Some days it just feels like the world is pissed off at you, so maybe everyone in it is too. If you are one of these people, take these tweets to heart. 1. Why...

A man who goes by the name Father Nathan Monk has been collecting photos of gay couples from the past in an effort to highlight the struggles those people went through in eras when same-sex lovers weren’t allowed to marry or even to be together. Monk said: “I found the photos online through a couple...

Okay, this is very strange and might blow your mind, so follow along and read this entire Twitter thread. A man named Nick Hinton recently took to Twitter to break down a weird conspiracy theory that the world actually ended in 2012, and we are now living in an alternate reality. Okay, now I’m getting...

I had a lot of teachers I didn’t necessarily like when I was growing up, but the really, really awesome ones definitely made up for it. And these students have some real gems right here. These teachers all seem pretty great. Let’s just hope the students appreciate them! 1. I like their style. You could...

Let’s take a deep dive into some very, very wholesome posts, okay? You need it, you want it, so let’s do it! Enjoy these posts that you make you smile. 1.

These facts have two big things going for them: they’re very solid and they might just throw you for a major loop. But that’s a good thing. It’s important to keep working out that brain of yours! Let’s get started! 1. Good advice for all of us. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 2. Stop...

Oh, wow, I have a bunch of these. Johnny and Dally from The Outsiders immediately come to mind. Don’t even get me started on Old Yeller. People on AskReddit shared the fictional deaths that hit them right in the gut. What characters have died in books, movies, or TV that really affected you? Share your thoughts in...

I’m gonna go on the record here: I sweat a lot. Probably too much, but what can I do about it? Turns out there actually are some steps I can take to try to prevent over sweating. That’ll teach me to give up! One easy thing you can try is to put on an antiperspirant...

One of my favorite pastimes is reading old newspapers. Whether it’s online, actually holding the paper, or even scanning through microfiche for hours on end, I love seeing what was going on throughout history and how it was reported. It’s endlessly fascinating! To me, at least. Here are 15 newspaper covers from historic days throughout...

This is going to sound disgusting, but there are cockroaches all of the place where I live. Huge, nasty bugs that move a million miles an hour and (obviously) have no regard for my personal space. I live in North Carolina, and when I first relocated here, I was shocked at how many there were...

Here’s the straight dope: some people like to celebrate Halloween by watching movies that aren’t full of blood, guts, and gore. There are plenty of movies you can enjoy during this season that don’t make you want to go...
