Growing up comes with pains, whether it’s the physical ones of our youths – aching legs and the like – or the emotional scars that we accumulate with years of living. One of the things that changes without our even noticing is sleep – we used to love going to sleep, right? It felt so...

Becoming an adult is no joke, and it seems as if there are some times in life – usually in transition periods – when people really start to question whether or not live in general really means much of anything in the long run. What is life without a few existential crises, am I right?...

In America, people flex on being a “workaholic” – someone who is always plugged into their job, who works way more hours than they get paid for, who can’t put work out of their mind, and who even prioritizes work over family, friends, and their own mental health. In other parts of the world, like...

I think that, deep down, we all recognize that humans are strange and intricate beings, each different but, at our cores, very similar. We all do things that might seem weird, I suppose, but we want to know that nothing’s really wrong with us for doing it – which is why forums like Reddit’s “No...

This is a question that’s getting more and more traction in this day and age of cancel culture. Because of things like social media, movements like #metoo, and the twenty-four hour news cycle, we’re learning more than ever before about the creators behind some of our favorite products. It’s not as if we’re unfamiliar with...

Secrets have a way of coming out eventually, but when the secret isn’t yours to tell (or really know), most people do their best to keep it to themselves – and that goes double when someone else’s life could hang in the balance. That said, the internet is full of strangers, so there’s no harm...

As someone who has worked in food service, I can tell you that it’s not just an urban legend, but that most people who work in food...

When we watch reality television shows that involve families and kids, we don’t spend a lot of time wondering whether or not they found any long-term solutions, or whether or not – and how – the experience might have affected them going forward. It makes sense that it would, though, because childhood is such a formative...

There are more than a few perks to being a college professor, and I’ve got to think that being able to troll your students (anonymously, of course!) is one of them. I mean, these are supposed to be adults, so there’s no reason to put on your kid gloves, right? These 14 college profs encountered...

Like it or not, for most people, fast food is a part of our lives. We keep busy, running from place to place, or maybe the idea of fixing dinner for everyone again just to hear them say it’s gross is enough to send you running to the nearest McDonald’s. Whatever the reason, most of us...

When you work in food service at the same place for any length of time, you can get pretty tired of eating the same things over and over again. I mean, you do it, because usually you get a discount and it makes more sense than going somewhere else to eat on a break, but...

People who work with food all day every day can have a hard time choosing what to eat – when you’ve eaten everything on the menu more than a few times, and have access to all of the ingredients, well, you get creative. That’s what these 13 people did, anyway, and I’ve gotta say, I...

There’s not much worse than that moment when you walk in on something or someone and just stop, go cold, and wish you could disappear and rewind your life. We’ve all done it at least once, and those moments really do stick with you. These 12 people can recall those moments perfectly, and are sharing...

If you’re someone who loves gossip and secrets, then there’s a chance you’re someone who loves stumbling into rooms and situations where there might be something juicy to hold over someone’s head later. That said, some things were never meant to be seen, and even the nosiest among us has to admit they really wish...

Facts are cool little things – like knowledge in a nutshell – and we all have those favorite tidbits that are perfectly sharable, like a good snack. We bust them out whenever and wherever we can, because they’re nearly always a winner. These 17 people are sharing their favorite facts like those – the ones...
