Weddings are supposed to be these beautiful, slightly somber events in which two people in love tie their futures and fortunes together forever and ever amen. We all know that things can get wild when you put friends, family, alcohol, and a bunch of money in one place, pretty much anything can happen at the...

Lately, it seems as if we can all use all the reminders we can get that people and the world aren’t best if dumped straight into the trash bin, you know? Life can be rough and tumble, and while sometimes we want dark humor and sarcasm to deal with it, other times our hearts want...

If you’re feeling a little down or a little weary from the world, there are a few things you could do – spend time with friends, order a pizza, go for a walk, have a drink… All of those options take time, though, and maybe some planning, too. For a quicker fix, we’re offering up...

It’s easy to miss good content online. There’s so much stuff, all the time, and way too many funny, insightful, and witty people out there to possibly keep track of them all on your own. That’s why you have us, though – and we won’t let you down. These 12 posts are recent darlings of...

It’s crazy how much our perspectives can change within a few years, and I’m not sure if there’s a decade in your life when more growth happens than in your 20s. You go from basically a teenager, to a person responsible for their own adult things, to a person who is like, thirty and expected...

All of the sleep experts ever say that having the television on while you’re trying to wind down or actively go to sleep is the opposite of helpful. So, if you have trouble falling asleep, you might have been told to pick up a book instead. Now, aside from the moment when you’ve gotten so...

There’s a saying that blood is thicker than water, and while that might be true, money has a way of somehow cutting straight through it. When one person in a family has or comes into money, there can be an expectation that they will share it freely, but is that always the best way to...

Families are complicated, there’s no doubt about it. Most of the time parents try to do right by their kids, and when they know from firsthand experience what a mistake could cost them, it typically makes them more empathetic than ever. When this man’s daughter got pregnant at 18 but couldn’t see herself being any...

I actually think that one of the more useful slogans from the past couple of decades is “see something, say something.” Too many people poke their nose where it doesn’t belong when they shouldn’t, then mind their own business when they really should be concerned, but to be fair, maybe it’s not always easy to...

I’m telling y’all, weddings turn some typically normal and caring people into absolute beasts. I don’t know if it’s the idea that the day is “all about you” or whatever, but people who would normally make concessions and try their hardest to make loved ones happy can often turn into the exact opposite. This guy...

Listen. Like everything else that people put on or in their bodies, bras really shouldn’t be anyone’s choice or business besides the person who wears them. That said, a lot of people have opinions on bra-wearing, and most of those opinions are that they should be worn in public. What does Reddit say to this...

S*x education in America is far different than it is in other parts of the world. In many ways, America’s Puritan roots remain strong, and how and when people speak to their kids about puberty and s*x varies immensely from family to family. Some parents, though, refuse to give their kids the basic facts they...

I remember the first time I went to the movies alone, feeling a little awkward about it and like everyone was watching me and wondering why no one was along. That was awhile ago, and after several years of maturity and many, many movies alone, I can honestly say two things – it’s one of...

When I was a kid (long, long ago) pretty much everyone with a house cat declawed it so there would be no worries about furniture and carpet and drapes being ruined. People loved their cats, and they had no idea there was more of a downside than leaving the poor thing defenseless if it ever...

While it’s definitely true that pregnancy is a magical and special time, it’s also just as true that it’s weird, uncomfortable, and occasionally horrifying in equal measure. These 14 women realize that it can be both at the same time, and are using humor to cope with the weirdness. Thank goodness. 14. No one can...
