When it comes to bit, life-altering inventions throughout history, there’s a good chance the names of the people who came up with the ideas and the patents are lodged in your brain – Henry Ford, Eli Whitney, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, et al. Maybe you’ve never spent much time thinking about what they did with...

Teachers only have so much time to cover so much material, and so it’s understandable that when it comes to history, science, and inventions, they can only really hit the highlights. It stands to reason, though, that a person who had a very famous invention probably had other inventions of varying success and usefulness, right?...

I’m a mom. When I’m in charge of my kids, I am doing at least half a dozen things at once – opening snacks, finding a video on YouTube, fixing a broken racetrack, changing a diaper, trying to clean up a mess, let the dog out, or start whatever meal comes next. I am almost...

I love when people share their hilarious text conversations. Some people are more confidence and comfortable with back-and-forth banter when they’re talking to someone they know, and so the humor and the burns are usually fantastic. But how would we know, how would we get to laugh, too, if screenshots weren’t a thing? As long...

The great thing about humor is that there’s something for everyone. Silly jokes, puns, dark humor, and sure, the really weird stuff that only a handful of people really seem to get. Finding other people who share your sense of humor is like finding your tribe, and it’s a sweet day. Twitter and other social...

Personally, I think weird senses of humor are the best senses of humor. You get to shake your head, laugh, and look at the world in just a bit of a different way all at the same time, and what could be better than that? If those types of jokes are your vibe, well, we...

Everyone seems to know things like Henry Ford invented the first car, and Tesla invented that funny coil thing, but for some reason we never really think about the fact that people who come up with those sorts of things surely come up with other cool things during their careers, too. They obviously do, though –...

Human beings are awkward and clumsy, and we’re not honestly that great at social interactions in the best of times. When we’re naked and fumbling and trying to act like we’re cool and have it all under control, things can get more than a little cringey. And listen, we all have at least one of these stories....

As someone who watches a lot of murder shows, I can tell you that most people seem to have some kind of 6th sense when they meet someone they should be running away from – quickly. I’m not sure how that translates to real life, of course, where there’s drama but not dramatization, but these...

Reading about how the experiences of generations differ is kind of like reading a horoscope – or at least, it used to be. It was just a fun thing to do, to see how much you have in common with others “like” you or how much you color outside the lines. Generational parameters are too...

There are thousands of people posting thousands of times a day on the internet, and while a good chunk of them are worth reading, it’s hard sometimes to make sure you’re catching the ones that are the very best. That’s where we come in, and we’ve curated this list of 11 recent tweets we don’t...

There are some days when the internet is there to prop up your outrage and righteous indignation, and that’s exactly what you need. Other days, you just need to laugh at someone having a worse day than you are, or a laugh in general, and the internet is there for you then, too. If today...

One of the coolest things about the internet is that there is always, always new content coming down the pike – but trying to keep up can be a stressful bother, too, on those busy weeks and days! That’s where we come in – we’ve been busy gathering the best and brightest recent hilarity from...

It’s not hard to find funny content online, but it can be tough to know whether or not your missing out on the absolute best the internet has to offer if you don’t have time to be constantly scrolling. It’s a burden we all bear these days, I swear. If you lay awake at night...

It’s not that hard to get into a taping of a television show, especially not the ones that use a live studio audience on a daily or regular basis. That said, if you don’t live somewhere like New York or Los Angeles, where television tapings are common, you might never have had the chance to...
