Listen, I love the serious questions on Reddit. They really make you think, and even look at the world in a different way. Some days, though, I’m just in the mood for a lark – which is when I love reading people’s responses to “what would you rename America if you could.” Bring you sense...

Familial relationships are tough, whether we’re bonded by blood or not, and parenting? Forget about it. So hard, every day, all the time, whether you birthed them or not. That said, this stepdad is thinking he might have messed up, and who better to ask than all of the internet? It begins with some background...

Relationships are tough, and that goes for ones that are platonic, ones that are romantic, ones that are paternal, and pretty much any other sort you can think of. We’re all coming into them with different origin stories, different insecurities, and unique sets of circumstances that have brought us to the moment we met. For...

We all have those sorts of days when it seems like nothing is going right, and even when it seems like there’s no real reason to have any hope for the future of the human race at all. I mean. I get it. The world is pretty rough right now. We have to fight against...

Listen, I’m as guilty as the next person for getting caught up in political arguments online. Guilty, not sorry about it! Sometimes, though, you’re just exhausted of the whole schtick and want to go back to the days when the internet was just easy to enjoy and full of controversy free entertainment – which is...

If you’re someone who loves movies and television, then you know that there are mistakes and inconsistencies in the very best of both, regardless of how hard everyone tries to make sure that doesn’t happen. You also know that there is no way to unsee them once you’ve caught on, so fair warning – these...

It’s no secret at this point that all retail stores, most restaurants, and pretty much anywhere you spend money has spent time and money doing research that helps them convince you to spend more of yours. Don’t be fooled, y’all – you’re being subtly manipulated absolutely everywhere you go. Here are 14 ways your local...

Did y’all know that every magician, mentalist, and sleight of hand artist around the world is expected to live by a code of secret magic rules? I know! These rules are supposed to govern not only how they perform, but how they live their non-magic lives as well, but here’s the thing – those rules...

Most people have probably cut their finger slicing vegetables or burned their hand taking cookies out of the oven and wished, at least for a moment, that you didn’t have to feel the pain. The thing is, of course, that pain serves multiple purposes in human lives, and without it, multiple challenges arise. If you’re...

It’s a brave new world in about every way possible, in that our grandparents would have no idea how to navigate pretty much any of it with much success. That’s especially true, perhaps, when it comes to how we find, search, and interview for jobs. If you’re a first-timer, too, or someone whose been out...

There’s not a 90s kid out there who didn’t see all of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as it aired, and who hasn’t also seen the show in reruns multiple times. It was the first time we met Will Smith, and that’s a moment none of us are ever going to forget. And if you’re looking...

Personally, I’ve never been asked to sign a NDA, and that’s probably a good thing – secrets and I are not happy bedfellows, I’m not sorry to admit. So that’s probably a good thing. It makes sense to me, then, that people who have signed NDAs but are now released from them are dying to talk –...

All professions have their ups and downs, their perks and the things about what they do that isn’t so great. I have to imagine maybe the fact that you never know what sort of client is going to walk through the door and put their life in your hands next. These lawyers are going to...

If we’re being honest, there are probably a great many things that humanity isn’t ready to hear – more things than they are, in my estimation. We’re just not well-equipped for most things, if you ask me. These 16 people clearly agree, because they had some quick answers to this question on Reddit. 16. I mean…...

If you’re not from the Land Down Under, I can guess that your first thoughts about the place just might include their insane wildlife – everything there wants to kill you and all of that. Maybe your thoughts go somewhere else, though, and people from Australia are curious what you think of when you ponder...
