As a whole, humans have a great talent for not facing the things they know in their guts they’re not ready to know or see or understand. We can be extremely willfully obtuse when we want to be, and it’s probably one of the things that keeps us sane. These 15 people are ready to burst...

There are different cultures all over the world, even in places like America, Europe, and Australia that are far too big to ever really be homogenous. And whatever you assume about how things are the same all over the world, I promise you that most of the time, you’ll be wrong. Like in these 14...

I think one of the ways you know you’ve found the right person is when they love even the things you dislike about yourself – your flaws, in other words, are something that only makes them love you more. In wholesome news, these 15 men are sharing those traits their significant others are self-conscious about,...

We all have our own “thing,” right? The specific trait that really blows our skirts up, even if the next person might not even notice it at all. That said, not all of those things qualify as “weird,” even if they’re uncommon – but you know what? Weird is in the eye of the beholder...

Listen, y’all. I cannot believe that there are so many people in this world who are actually concerned with how often other people bathe. I’m someone who does not enjoy baths or showers, and so washing every day is just never going to happen. I’m married to someone who showers every day, sometimes twice, and...

Even though viewers clearly love medical dramas, both on the small and big screens, I think most of us realize that what happens in our favorite shows doesn’t necessarily (or at all) reflect what life is really like for medical professionals across the board. I mean, it can’t all be that exciting all the time...

Robin Williams is one of those celebrities that was pretty much universally loved and admired, and a soul that this world misses like crazy – sadly, he seems like the kind of person who often doesn’t stick around for as long as we might have hoped. If you’re missing him and wondering whether meeting him...

I’m going to put a content warning right up front on this one, y’all, because when Reddit asked for disturbing and messed up, these lawyers definitely delivered. And while you probably imagined that lawyers all over have some horror stories tucked away, these 15 clients/cases still might shock you. 15. The kid did it. I...

I’ve often wondered whether or not people who are asked to and agree to sign a NDA before taking or keeping a job ever regret it. Like…do they find out things they can’t forget? Things they wish they didn’t know? Or, like me, do they just realized that they’re terrible at keeping secrets when they’ve...

If you ask this girl, there are way too many things in the books and movies that are made out to be romantic but are decidedly not at all. Most of them we can let slide, because everyone deserves their weird fantasies and whatever, but when those norms start to slide into reality, maybe it’s...

Discipline is a hot-button topic among parents, caregivers, and child-development experts everywhere these days. Everyone has an opinion, everyone is sure that they’re right, and yes, there can sometimes be warfare in a Target as a result. This old-school thinker has taken to Reddit to suggest that parents aren’t disciplining their kids at all, and...

There’s pretty much a consensus that the current 24/7 news cycle really isn’t doing anyone any good. We can relay the actual news of the day in the regularly scheduled hours – morning, noon, and evening, so everything that goes in between is just fluff designed to whip people into a frenzy. This Redditor thinks...

We all know – even if we don’t want to or pretend not to – that pirating things like movies, books, and video games is harmful to the artists who create them. You’re taking money out of their pockets and food out of their mouths and all of that. What if a license has expired,...

Listen, I honestly believe that anyone who would argue that people don’t legitimately grieve the loss of a beloved family pet either a) has never had and lost such a pet or b) is some kind of sociopath. That said, the majority of employers and people who make decisions about company leave don’t go in...

Back in the day, we all had to take a “home economics” class and also a shop class of some sort that felt like you were an inch away from losing a finger most days. I don’t remember these things being optional, at least not the first ones, and I have to say, I have...
