Millions of people own and totally adore their pets. They make us smile, they see us through the rough times, and they’re definitely important parts of our family. That said, most of us aren’t experts on dogs, cats, birds, or other commonly-owned animals. We turn to our veterinarians (and sometimes the internet) when we have...

We all have our thing, right? The thing that interests us but bores most other people, or the rabbit hole we didn’t mean to fall down on the internet but got in deep anyway? Sometimes it’s out of necessity, like super niche research, too. Whatever the reason, we’re always reminded that it’s not everyone’s thing when...

Have you ever learned a fact that, despite being totally random and objectively useless, just really stuck with you? I mean, maybe it was just niche enough to pique your interest, or maybe it was just too weird to forget – but whatever it was, now it’s the fact that earns you funny looks when you pull...

We’ve all been there – you’re at a bar, or a party, or a work event and you just can’t figure out how to walk away from a never ending, terrible conversation. It’s tough, and I think most of us tend to just wait it out because we don’t want to be rude. There are...

The old standby for people going through those pesky midlife crisis is to buy a new sports car, but what if you can’t afford to go all out like that? Can’t middle class or penny-pinching people freak out about middle age, too? These 17 people say yes, certainly, and they think these are some ways...

I honestly think that a majority of people do not go out to bars or other public places hoping they’ll come off as a creep. We want people to like us, or at the very least, we want people to be comfortable around us, right? That goes for men, too, so how are so many...

It’s a bit of a sad state of affairs when men are scaring women in public and don’t even realize what’s going on in the moment. Women think men know when they’re being creepy, but what if that’s not always true? These 14 women are giving them the benefit of the doubt, and sharing these...

I think that if you asked most people walking down the street, they’d probably say they have at least one thing weighing on their chest. Something on their mind, a tidbit they haven’t been able to tell anyone but would really like to…you know? These 19 people turned to Reddit to unburden themselves, and here...

We all have things that we could stand to get off our chests on a daily basis. Like, it’s nothing huge or earth shattering, but it’s not something we’d want to necessarily confess to the people who know us in real life, either. Enter Reddit, where you can say whatever you want without judgement or...

I love a good piece of history, and if there’s an interesting story attached to it, so much the better. New York City is full of great tales and has history to spare – which is probably why it’s a no-brainer that the background of the city’s oldest standing building  is worth a share. According...

There are times in everyone’s life when they’d like to be able to totally forget something that’s happened, but for most of us, the idea of not being able to remember anything at all sounds like a nightmare. For dual amnesia patient Clive Wearing and his family, though, it’s reality. Wearing is a renowned musicologist...

Even though we’re all aware that a good percentage of marriages don’t last until “death do us part,” I doubt that anyone exchanges vows assuming theirs will be one of the unions that fail. If you’re hoping to head off that unfortunate, costly, and emotionally taxing event here are 6 things that consistently cause trouble...

It seems to be a bit of an old school way of thinking these days, that adults (and especially parents) deserve respect just because they’re human beings of a certain age. Teenagers now question everything, and honestly, I’m not at all sure that’s a bad thing. This kiddo has been living with a stepfather he...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned on Reddit it’s how easy it is to lose your child’s trust – and how hard it is to get it back once you do. Maybe that goes for all humans, but with kids, a broken heart can take a long time to heal. OP in this case was...

Y’all, I feel like there have been a slew of posts recently on Reddit about navigating relationships with not only your ex, but your ex’s children. I think that most people want to do their best when it comes to co-parenting, because that’s what’s best for the kids. That said, boundaries are and should be...
