There’s no question that the United States takes up a whole lotta space, and with everyone so spread out, cultural differences are strong in certain places. And while it might seem to some that the Midwest doesn’t have much culture, I think these 12 questions prove otherwise…and I promise, there are very good answers to...

Listen, I don’t think that, last New Year’s Eve, anyone could have predicted. what 2020 had in store for us all. Had we known what was in store, I don’t know…I think I would have had a few more drinks (or maybe gone to visit my friend in England). Which is all to say, we...

There are days when the only thing you need in your life is a quick laugh. It can reset your brain, refocus your mind, or just provide a badly needed distraction in the midst of, you know…everything. If you’re feeling like a quick giggle is the fix you need right now, these 16 tweets should...

There is room in the world for all kids of riddles. Some days you want easy ones, other days, ones you can do with your kids. You might need short ones when you’re on a time crunch, or good math riddles to share with your class. If you’re really looking to challenge yourself today, we’ve...

I loved watching TGIF as a kid, and had my favorites, like Saved by the Bell, after school – and California Dreams, while it lasted. I have to admit, though, that I never watched Dinosaurs as a kid. I’m a little too old, I think, but I have watched parts of it as an adult. My...

I guess that some people are using black tiles to make their swimming pools look minimalistic, or like black holes, or some other reason fads start when regular swimming pools have been perfectly serviceable since forever. If you’re thinking about getting one for yourself, well….you might want to read through this very informative (and hilarious)...

The funny thing about having odd skills, is that you probably think they’re normal after awhile. Like, maybe everyone can twist themself into a pretzel and feel perfectly average watching television or painting their nails with their feet behind their heads, yeah? At least, I assume that’s what began the tale of the college contortionist...

If you like making sandcastles when you go to the beach, then there’s no way what this artist is doing with sand isn’t going to blow your mind. My sandcastles are pretty good, but no one is going to mistake them for real castles, right? This artist, Andoni Bastarrika, sculpts animals from sand that look so real...

Ever since Americans split from the British way back int he day, there has been animosity between people of the two countries. Like teenage children annoyed with their stuffy old parents, the dynamic has gotten funnier and more tongue-in-cheek with time, and the internet has provided the perfect platform for hilarious interactions. These 12 funny...

Lin Manuel-Miranda is smart, he’s creative, and the majority of facts presented in his phenomenal musical, Hamilton, are actually true. You likely know that some or most of the characters – like, for example, Thomas Jefferson – present onstage as a bit (or a lot) irreverent, but it plays for comedy and we all assume acting...

Personally, I find ice cream the perfect treat no matter what time of year it is, but if you’re someone who especially likes to enjoy a bowl at the height of summer, well…you know that can be hard. You have to slurp it up super fast, and not really savor and enjoy your ice cream...

When you’re a kid, anything that’s not familiar can seem fancy. Of course, if your family is middle class, or lower than that, there probably were a ton of things as a kid that might seem normal to others, but screamed “that person has money to you.” These 10 people recalled exactly those things, and reading...

Kids all grow up in the bubble of their family’s reality. Whatever’s normal at their house is normal, at least until they start school and start to visit their friends’s houses, and realize that not everyone’s “normal” looks the same. If you grew up poor, or middle class, there were probably some things that’s existence...

The United States is pretty big, as counties go, and it’s also very diverse depending on region. We speak differently, we use different sayings, our weather is different…and even though I’m definitely biased, I think the Midwest is full of the most genuine, nice people in the bunch. If you’re one of us, then you...

Everyone tries their best to be honest and trustworthy when it matters, but listen…. when you live in a capitalist society, the little man can be a bit tired of getting taken advantage of by the Man, and well …they look for ways to take a little back. If you’re feeling all “damn the man”...
