There are some things, like seeds and weapons and gold and certain medicines, that we expect governments around the world to keep strategic stockpiles of, in case of a global natural disaster. There are many things that don’t fit in those survival sort of categories that it turns out the people in charge don’t want...

There are all kinds of drunk people in the world, and only a few of them are good, if we’re being honest. You can keep your angry and sad and violent and paranoid drunks, and leave me the funny and kind ones, okay? If you love funny drunks as much as I do, you’re going...

Let me just start off by saying that alcoholism is a serious and debilitating addiction and I do not think it’s right to laugh at drunk people who have real and terrible problems. That said, I do think it’s funny to laugh at drunk people being silly and crazy, if they’re just blowing off some steam,...

Everyone has a favorite television show – the one they just seem to get, that seems to get them, and that they could watch over and over again without ever getting tired of the characters and stories. For plenty of fans, that show is Criminal Minds, and if you’re one of the people who wishes there were...

Horror movies aren’t for everyone, but most of us have waded into the gory, jump-scare waters at some point in our lives. Whether you’re a casual viewer or an avid fan, you’re going to love these 20 hilariously on-point horror movie jokes – so go ahead and scroll (no eye-covering needed)! 20. It all makes...

Everyone knows that people who love horror movies are a special breed. They love to scare themselves silly, and it’s almost impossible to find a movie they would say goes too far. If you’re one of those folks, or you know and love one, you’re definitely going to want to scroll and share these 23...

Look, I get that doughnuts are a very personal thing. Some people like fancy stuff, others like a classic glazed, and don’t even get me started on the border wars between the cake and yeast folks. For me, Krispy Kreme doughnuts have never been a favorite because I prefer more bread and less sugar, but...

I don’t know about you, but the revival that The Muppets have enjoyed over the past decade has just been a delight. Even my young kids are into it now, singing along to The Muppet Babies, asking to turn on The Muppet Show on Disney+, and yes, requesting that we listen to original hit song “Mah Na Mah Na”...

I’m pretty sure that about 95% of the population could use an extra $500,000, right? The only catch is that you have to be smart enough to figure out a solution to a problem that the literal smartest people on the planet – those who work at NASA – have been poking without success for...

In this day and age, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone more universally liked – and maybe more universally good – than Dolly Parton. She does important work for people who need it, especially kids, and especially those from her native and beloved Tennessee, and she does it all without fanfare. You can find all...

I think it’s fair to say that we no longer live in an era where dead is necessarily the same thing as gone forever. Between medical advances, extreme life-saving measures, and cloning – not to mention that thing where people think we can upload our consciousness into a computer – I have no doubt that...

There’s just something that’s so satisfying about pie charts and other types of graphs, and though we typically go to them when we need something, you know, useful graphed, Instagram user Matt Shirley is proving that interesting info is just as fun to chart. He’s making charts and graphs for the everyday scenario – ones that...

There are stories pretty regularly that float around the internet, usually about people who live in apartments, often those apartments exist in NYC, where something totally freaking scary pops up out of nowhere. Sometimes it’s ghosts, sometimes it’s scarier than that because it’s actually real, but I have no idea what could be freakier than...

If you’re not someone who is into astrology and witchy stuff and the old religions, you probably think the idea that the stars, the sun, or the moon can really affect how we feel and act on an given day is a bunch of bunk. While we don’t have arguments against or for the ideas...

There’s a certain type of person in the world who just adores words and grammar and yes, all kinds of punctuation. I’m not sure it’s most people, but for those of us who are into it, we know we’re part of a smarty-pants club, and we love it. If that’s you, I hope you’ll find...
