Despite all of our centuries of exploring, the world retains many mysteries. And if space is the next great frontier, I say oceans are the second – they’re so deep, and so vast, that there’s probably no way we’ll ever be able to accurately map them. Also, they’re literally always changing, so a map you...

If there’s one thing I know for sure about Texans, it’s that the do not take kindly to being invaded. And I’m not sure about this part, but I would guess that goes double for something that looks like some kind of character from Men in Black (and stings, besides!). These pretty-but-dangerous sea slugs are a type...

There are all different levels of brain teasers, brain games, riddles, and the like out there on the internet. You start slow (because we all want to feel like we can solve them all) and slowly raise you game – like how the crossword puzzle gets harder every day of the week. If you’re ready...

Your brain is more fat than muscle (fun fact) but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be kept in shape! The more you use it, the sharper it is, and brain teasers are a great and fun way to stay on top of your skills. Here are 16 brain teasers that are ready to...

Many people love a good riddle to get the brain juices flowing. If you’re looking for ways to both connect with your kids and to get their minds in overdrive, too, what better way than doing a list of riddles together? If you think that sounds pretty fun, here are 8 riddles you can work...

Fandoms are great for so many reasons – first and foremost, they allow people to find their tribe without leaving the comfort and safety of their homes. And tribes are essential to all humans, sure, but to people still figuring out who they are, and who might not be accepted in conventional, real-life circles, they...

Times are tough out there, and one of the industries that has been hardest hit in the current crisis is the restaurant business. Until recently, their dining rooms have been closed all across the world, and even offering take out, curbside, and delivery, they’ve had to drastically reduce staff. Most people who work as wait...

We’re all looking for new hobbies these days, and with plenty of time on our hands, I’m guessing the hijinks at home are either strengthening or ruining marriages all over the world. You’ve gotta have a sense of humor to make things work, and listen…I really, really hope this guy’s wife has a good one....

The thing about memes is it’s really hard to tell what’s going to work, and what’s going to really take off, before it does. And Captain America telling super corny Dad Jokes over a couple of Marvel scenes? I feel like it could have gone either way. As you can see by these 13 jokes,...

I know that Americans have a reputation for being egocentric and thinking everyone in the world does things exactly like they do, but I have to admit, the first time I walked into a Mexican bodega and saw eggs sitting on a crate at the end of an aisle, no refrigerator in sight, I was...

I know that it might mean I have some kind of twisted sense of humor, but I just love the “Pinterest fail” posts that abound on the internet. I think it’s okay to laugh because people wouldn’t be posting if they weren’t laughing, too, so we’re all laughing together. Right? It’s just so relatable –...

If you’re a person who studies and knows your history, this article probably isn’t going to surprise you. There really is nothing new under the sun, and the majority of human beings don’t evolve all that quickly (or at all). We’re very similar to those who founded democracy in Greece, to those who conquered the...

Some questions crop up and fall away in a moment, never to revive again. Others might cross your mind on a regular basis – like, say, every time you pop the cork on a bottle of wine. All wine bottles are fairly similar, whether they have a fancy label or something simple, or a cap...

We all have bad days now and again. Those periods when everything is going wrong and it feels like you might as well lie down and pull the covers over your head and start again tomorrow. Or have a drink and make your partner put the kids to bed while you watch Netflix. Either way....

It’s cool to be a fan of a celebrity, and to look up to them or wish you were like them or daydream about what it might be like to date them. That’s normal. It’s also fine to like, write fan fiction or other time-consuming methods for expressing your daydreams. That said, some people just...
