We all know that the vast majority of companies in this world worship nothing more than the almighty dollar. Sure, they give back to the community when its in their best interest, and they give us “deals” from time-to-time, but the prices on their items have far more to do with what people will pay...

Most definitions of cult revolve around religions and religious groups , though in general, they just require a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing. There are plenty of situations that don’t technically qualify, but we’re not the FBI here, and we know when we get that icky feeling in our gut....

Did you ever go to a meeting, or sign up for something, and after you get home, you wonder if you’ve just voluntarily joined a cult? Gym memberships definitely come to mind, but who among us hasn’t been at least partially sucked in by a pyramid scheme in our day? If you’re wondering if you...

Literally anything starts to seem normal if you see it, hear it, or do it often and for long enough. Like staying at home and going nowhere and cleaning your groceries, for example. Sometimes people stop and take stock of life, though, and realize things that everyone is doing are actually a scam – which...

If there is one thing I have definitely learned from hanging on the internet – and especially reading Am I the A$shole posts on Reddit – it’s that I’m super lucky to have a family that I love, and that I can trust. Not everyone is so lucky, and so I’ve become very careful about...

In my opinion, it’s always sort an awkward thing when your friends have kids – whether you have your own or not. Are they supposed to be friends just because you are? Do you have to act like you like their kids in order to stay friends? Do you exchange gifts on holidays? Send them...

This is one of those Am I The A$shole posts that starts to boil your blood after you read the title, but based on experience, those can go one of two ways. You can either realize that not only were you right, but they’re even worse than the title suggested OR you can realize there’s...

If you’re not part of the 1% of the world that holds most of its wealth, then the habits and lives of rich people are probably a bit of a mystery to you. If you’re curious, though, here are 5 rich people willing to talk about what life looks like from the other side. 5....

There are plenty of rich people who were born into money, but there are others who have worked and scraped their own way to the top. Regardless of what sort of rich person you’re dealing with, there are some things they’ll never say – and below are 6 items you’ll never hear. 6. “I have...

Weird things happen to everyone, right? It feels like fate, or kismet, or destiny, or just dumb luck, but if we sit and look at what happened with a calm and critical eye, we can usually figure out what exactly happened. Most of the time, maybe, but not in cases like these 12 – when...

Weird things happen to people all of the time. That said, about 99% of those events can, with enough consideration and time and space, be explained by logic and common sense. The 1% of the time they can’t are where the fears of the paranormal, of roaming ghosts, of invisible hands, and other things that...

If you’re lucky enough to live a decent amount of time, weird things are definitely going to happen to you. Some will seem strange in passing, some will linger in your mind, but usually, after a while and some thought, you can explain it, at least to satisfy yourself. There are, though, odd things that...

I think it’s fair to say that every family does the holidays differently. You might do Santa up big, or play him down (or ignore him totally). Everyone might buy each other all of the gifts they can afford, or you might draw names from a hat to keep things less expensive (but still loving)....

One of my favorite things about people is how unique we all are, with our own strange interests that turn into really fascinating and beautiful things (sometimes). We walk through our lives, gathering the things that bring us joy, and keeping them to look at on rainy days – in reality or just in our...

People everywhere seem to enjoy collecting things. Things that are small and innocuous, like paper clips, and other things that are harder to find and store, like vintage record players. Anything you think of, there’s probably someone out there with a collection of it. Even so, I didn’t really expect to find pictures of people...
