You might think that video stores are a thing of the past – after all, why would you go out and rent a DVD (not to mention own and hook up and maintain a DVD player) when you can just stream whatever you’d like from the comfort of your own home. Right? Well, much like...

I know that math is some people’s things, but it’s definitely not mine – and I know that I’m not alone. Give me words any day of the week, y’all. Of course, none of us are spared from needing to do math in real life. I’m sorry to say that the teachers were right about...

Some facts never get old, even when you hear them more than once. That’s the thing about knowledge – there’s so much out there to soak up that even cool facts can fall out of your head as fast as they went in, you know? So we think that even if you’ve heard these 18...

Facts are our business around here, so I like to think we know good ones when we see them. “Good” can mean different things to different people, but one of the factors for me is definitely the question “will it send me down an excellent rabbit hole?” These 19 facts definitely meet that (and other)...

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you love facts. You’re here, after all, and this sort of headline is the thing that makes your brain get all warm and fuzzy inside. If brains got warm and fuzzy, I mean. Which they don’t. So, without further ado, here are 20 facts...

Ok, ok, fine – you can live without knowing certain facts, but would you want to? If you’re here on our page, my guess is that you love facts as much as we do, which means you’re dying to see what’s on this list. Whether you’ve heard some of these before or not, we feel...

In a perfect world, employers treat their employees like human beings whose live and health outside of the workplace matter as much as what goes on in the office. In that world, employees would work hard for you because they feel respected and valued, so everyone wins. In reality, too many employers treat their people...

Ideally, parents are able to care and provide for their children as long as they need a hand – so, for most of us, until we graduate from college and find a job of our own. Honestly, with the economy the way it’s been for the past couple of decades, most kiddos need a bit...

Listen, cheating is dirty business, y’all. There are plenty of reasons people become unhappy in committed relationships and sure, folks make mistakes, but ongoing affairs have always just smacked of arrogance or cowardice to me. Or both. This man – a pastor who always answered his phone – was not cheating on his wife when...

Most companies that have public-facing or sanitary components also have rules and expectations regarding personal grooming habits. When you sign up to work there, you sign up for pressing your clothes or keeping your hair a certain length et al. McDonald’s, apparently, likes you to have a neat face. This kid showed up to work...

There has been more than one study come out that proves many, if not the majority, of people find jobs because of who they know and not what – not necessarily big, important jobs, either, but managers just seem to trust their employees recommendations over hiring a stranger. This guy was happy with his job,...

I have to say, there are plenty of headlines I never expected to write since I started writing articles for you lovely people, and this is definitely one of them. I mean…Noah’s Ark? On the moon? Let’s dig in here and get started on answering the many, many questions that you’ve probably already got brewing,...

I have a lot of respect for people who can think outside the box. Sometimes we have to get creative in order to solve problems, but I don’t necessarily think that safety protocols should be the thing to go out the window in the name of progress. These 12 people clearly don’t feel the same way,...

Most of us are at least a little bit careful when it comes to our lives. We enjoy being alive, after all. There are things we want to do and people we enjoy seeing, and so we try to make good enough decisions that we’ll be able to stick around for at least a little...

There’s definitely a range when it comes to what people consider safe, and what they consider to be acceptable risks. Some folks are super conservative and take extra precautions all the time, while other people are more willing to take chances if it gets the job done – and done quicker – than dotting all...
