I’m not multilingual, though thanks to years spent taking Latin, I can usually parse at least some of all of the romance languages, when they’re written. That, though, doesn’t mean I understand people when they’re quickly speaking a language that isn’t English, so others are safe to say what they want about me, even within...

We all have our quirks. Some of them are fun, others less so, but unless the right conversation strikes, with the right people at the right time, we don’t often get to share. Which is what makes Reddit so great, don’t you think? Without it, these 14 people’s fun personal facts would still be malingering...

There are some fun facts about ourselves that we get to share often, because they’re work or personal skills, or we’re meeting new people, or what have you. There are other fun things about ourselves, though, that don’t make the headlines – we don’t usually share them unless people ask, and it just never comes...

Most things in life are hard to imagine, and hard to fully relate to, until you’ve experienced them yourself, and long-term relationships are no exception. When you’re newly in love, newly committed, or haven’t had the opportunity to be in a serious relationship at all, there are just some realities about, you know, forever that are...

Even if 2020 turns out to be the year that canceled the TikTok star, there’s little doubt that the social media app remains near and dear to the hearts of so many. Even if you’re not on TikTok, you can’t avoid seeing the best and brightest as they’re shared to other apps like Twitter, Facebook,...

Jimmy Fallon is a master of the hashtag – he creates them, his audience members knock them out of the park for a chance to get onto the show. He’s been doing it for years, and I personally love the results, but if anything lends itself to internet hilarity, it’s the insanity that is 2020....

From time-to-time, night show host Jimmy Fallon asks his audience on Twitter to help him really nail a hashtag, and I’ve got to say, those are some of my favorite episodes. Regular people, it turns out, are pretty funny. And listen, the best way to deal with 2020 is to laugh. I think. It's Hashtags...

We all have those days. You know the ones, when you get about 20 minutes out of bed and realize it’s the kind of day that’s going to make you want to crawl right back under the covers. Even if you’re having a day like that – as these 16 people definitely are – most...

There’s no shortage of weird things the human brain will do if you put it in a scenario it doesn’t expect, or hasn’t been primed to expect. It’s not that our brains don’t like surprises, exactly, it’s more that they just act like they don’t exist if they’re not sure how to handle them. Case in...

Maybe, but let me tell you, with the way things are changing – and the speed with which it’s happening – having some working knowledge on...

I know that, like the rebel you are, you cut tags off whatever you dang well please, no matter what they say. First of all, they’re tags. Second of all, who is going to come into your home and check your mattresses, hairdryers, and the like to make sure the warning tags are still attached?...

It used to be that most teenagers had part-time jobs. We waited tables, we worked retail, we washed cars or mowed lawns or bagged groceries – whatever we had to do to put a little extra cash in our pockets and earn a bit of independence in the process. Some of us actually needed the...
