Are you a cis/hetero dude who feels like you’re missing all the signs? Like maybe there are women out there who are into you, but you might just be oblivious? Well, it seems like somebody on reddit  was wondering the same, so they posed the question and got plenty of responses. Of course, this is...

Not all marriages last forever. It’s nothing like the “50%” statistic that is tossed around so often, but divorce definitely still happens. And, sometimes, you know it’s going to happen right from the beginning. Like, on the wedding day. That’s probably when it’s the most sad. Especially if you bought them a wedding gift. But...

These 17 riddles from AskReddit all sound pretty dirty at first, but almost none of the answers are. Scroll to the bottom for the answers. Enjoy: 1. I grow in a bed, first white then red, and the plumper I get, the better women like me. What am I? 2. What’s messy and can be...

Everybody has their look-alike. I found mine sitting across from me at a high school party back in 1997. He happened to be a person. But, when Bored Panda solicited photos of celebrity doppelgangers, they asked readers to think more in terms of the animal kingdom. Out of their 75-ish subs, which were ranked by the...

NASA has this really awesome series of before and after satellite photographs that they call “Images of Change.” The images are phenomenal, but unfortunately they’re not really good news. In fact, the full title of the series is, “Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Images of Change.” The gist is that they compare photos from before and...

We create new Fact Snacks for you every single day and put them up on our website. But it’s a tough road from fact to Fact Snack. More than half of our submitted, fully-researched facts never get to be Fact Snacks. Then, after we run them on Tumblr, we take the best of those and...

One might argue that, as the only child of Abraham Lincoln to survive into adulthood and the only one who lived to see the 20th century, Robert Todd Lincoln lived a somewhat charmed life. He was the son of a President, after all, and, though he was of age during the Civil War, his mother wouldn’t let...

Do you have any idea how long people have been smoking marijuana? It’s been happening for longer than a lot of archaeologists thought, too. And did you know that Bill Murray owes his comedy career to weed? Though that story probably doesn’t play out like you’d imagine, either. When weed, history, and pop culture intersect,...

DJ Sumirock just might be the oldest DJ in the world. 82-year-old Sumiko Iwamuro is relatively new at rocking the 1s and 2s, having only started back in 2012 at the age of 77. And she still runs the family restaurant during the day. Iwamuro has been making dumplings there for over six decades. Her...

Would you swim in a plexiglass pool suspended 40 stories above street level? Well if you rent at Houston’s Market Square Tower, or have a friend that happens to be a tenant, you can go test your nerves. I mean, sure, the rent for a 564 square-foot studio is $1,804 a month, but it’s not really...

Can you imagine being so poor that you have no choice but to consider selling your own kids? Perhaps you’ve seen this photo from the 1940s with four children for sale: Here’s the original caption from the Valparaiso Vidette-Messenger on August 5, 1948: “A big ‘For Sale’ sign in a Chicago yard mutely tells the tragic...

What the heck do you do with all the plastic shopping bags after you get your groceries home? I save mine in an empty tissue box and use them for trash bags in our smaller cans. I did try to make a hammock out of them once, but then I realized about halfway through that...

America is a nation of immigrants. Aside from a spat of isolationism that ran through both world wars and peaked around the same time as the Nixon administration, there’s usually been a pretty steady influx of immigrants coming to our country: But the nations that people have come from have changed quite a bit over time, as this...

According to Dr. Kevin Baines, one of the researchers who presented the findings to a conference of the American Astronomical society in 2013, we may not have photographic evidence of the diamonds themselves, but this is still the real deal: “The bottom line is that 1,000 tons of diamonds a year are being created on Saturn....

Rap battles are at least 1,500 years old: “Flyting” or “fitting” was a contest of wits, popular in the 5th-16th centuries, where one person flung insults in verse at the other for pride, beer, and the entertainment of others. And versions of these contests existed in some form or another among Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Norse, Greek,...
