There are questions you never really consider until something out of the ordinary happens and you’re forced to think it over. One of those things, I imagine, is the answer to how you should handle it if a valet crashes your car while it’s in their possession. If we’ve got you curious now, good thing...

When you imagine a relationship between a therapist and their patient, you probably think of something calm and collected, understanding and encouraging – and chances are, most relationships are like that. In every profession, though, there are people who really don’t belong in the field. Here are 13 therapists who said truly terrible things to...

Family dynamics can be tough to navigate, and I think that probably goes at least double for families that aren’t yours. Joining your partner’s family and attempting to figure out what’s going on there can be stressful to say the least. For this woman, she was also stepping lightly around a cultural divide, but since...

As a mother, I live with the fear that someone could call CPS on me at any time, for any thing. Once that call is made the state has to follow up (rightfully so), and most parents would like to avoid going through that unnecessary scrutiny if at all possible, I think. So to read...

More and more people are making different dietary choices these days – whether it’s for health reasons, because of a concern for the environment, or over moral objections – and many of those changes mean no longer eating meat (or any animal byproducts, in the case of vegans). If you know a passionate vegan, there’s...

One of the roughest things about being an adult and buying your own food and stuff is having to figure out what to buy when, how long something will reliably last, and having to throw things in the trash that cost you some of your hard-earned money. Fresh produce is the most likely culprit here,...

There’s a certain amount of nostalgia that goes along with the past, but I have to say, they really had language nailed down. Their terms were funnier, and meant hilariously specific things, and once you read through this list, I really don’t think you can disagree. These 11 terms will instantly make you the funniest...

Some people don’t need any help being funny. It comes naturally, and their jokes always land, and the rest of us envy their ability and ease. If you’re someone who isn’t like that at all, but wish you were able to make people giggle at least once in a while, here are 13 words that...

McDonald’s and their offering of ice cream cones, shakes, and McFlurries is something of a joke, because on any given day, in any given establishment, there seems to be around a 25% chance that the ice cream machine is actually working. If you’re having a craving and thinking of running out for a late night...

Some people take themselves and their businesses super seriously, which is a totally acceptable choice. Other people think “I need to name my business,” and instead of doing market research and floating options to friends and focus groups, just come up with amazing puns and call it good. Or maybe it could be both, I...

For a brief explainer on time crystals, check out this article – and once you’ve got an idea of what we’re dealing with, all of this is going to seem much more exciting. tl;dr for those of you too lazy to click over (you are my people), time crystals are a recently discovered 4th state...

If you haven’t heard about time crystals, get ready to be wowed by physics – which is not a phrase I utter every day. The main reason this discovery is so exciting is that they point to a whole new world of “non-equilibrium” phases that scientists have never even had the opportunity to study in...

There’s always pushback when we talk about all of the jobs that computers and robots can and will likely be qualified to do in the near future. This is because we don’t want to think about the people who used to do those jobs no longer have a paycheck and stability, right? Well, this Redditor says...

Most people are at least a little curious about where they came from – their ancestors, the timeline of events, names and places, that sort of thing. I image that being Native American, part of that curiosity is a bit of duty to carry on a culture that now belongs to far too few. This...

There are so many downsides of the internet, when you get right to it, but listen – there are also a lot of good points to be found, too. One of those is there’s always someone there ready and willing to make us laugh when we need it – whether it’s a silly joke, someone...
