It’s happened to the best of us…we open a link, click on something from a supposed friend, and there he is – Rick Astley in all his glory, singing his 1987 “hit” Never Gonna Give You Up and telling us that we’ve been had. Not the most positive of moments, but I mean, most of us...

Everyone loves a good review, right? Some of my favorite moments on Amazon are finding one that’s hilarious – intentionally or not – and just too good not to share. These “reviews” of zoo animals definitely fall into that category, and also make me wish my hometown zoo was getting on board. The participating zoos...

What people accept as normal varies due to any number of factors – upbringing, culture, personality – but there are some seriously questionable things that we accept as a culture. You might not think that’s true, but the more you think about it – or read through these 16 examples – the more you’ll realize...

In case you missed it, a few weeks ago someone tweeted that (according to NASA!), on February 10th only, your broomstick would stand up all on its own, possibly due to something to with gravitational pull. The #BroomstickChallenge was born, and the urban myth joined a similar one about eggs balancing on their ends on...

Out of all the professions in the world, I imagine being a divorce lawyer is one that keeps you fairly entertained. I mean, it probably sucks your will to even attempt a long-term relationship, too, but you have to take the good with the bad at any job, right? Below, 15 divorce attorneys are talking...

If you’re like most average people, logging into your online banking to check your balance isn’t your favorite thing to do. It’s never as much as you want it to be, need it to be, or wish it was. That’s why it can be tempting to just celebrate if the number is higher than you...

School shootings and gun violence is always close to the hearts and minds of parents who have children in school (or children who go to the movies, or concerts, or church, or Walmart…), but the solutions coming out of Washington and state legislatures have been few, weak, or nonexistent. How, then, should parents and teachers...

Uber, and all of the ride-sharing apps like it, have made our lives easier in innumerable ways. For patrons and for drivers alike, being able to connect one-on-one to someone when you need a ride, or to pick someone up when you could use some cash, has been a life-changing opportunity. There are downsides like...

Okay, so this might seem like a no-brainer – especially if you had (or have, no judgment) stoner friends, but smoking weed chills people out, even angry spouses! I feel like more should be said about this topic that speaks to the fact that most people don’t need to smoke pot in order to not...

It’s no secret that we’ve got a global problem with plastic pollution, so we’re collectively always looking for new and innovative ways to use the plastics we recycle, and this one – turning plastic waste into roads – seems like a gem! A U.K. company called MacRebur came up with the solution, which feels pretty...

It should go without saying that we don’t want to trust anyone on the internet that we don’t know, right? There are too many ways to lie, to fews ways to easily ferret out the truth, and honestly…it’s just way too easy to be swindled. That life knowledge should go hand-in-hand with “never, ever send...

In the latest news, having a fancy degree definitely doesn’t mean you know everything about any subject that technically falls under the umbrella of your degree. For instance, this person who claims to have a Masters Degree in Animal Science doesn’t even understand how horses work. Like, at all. He or she thinks they can...

Sometimes we just need a little push to make better choices when it comes to food – but not like, obvious ones, because who likes to be told what to do? No one, a fact that tech giant Google obviously knows, because they’ve used their legendary cafeterias to silently urge their employees and guests into...

Some people might say that it’s no big deal if you use these words incorrectly because everyone knows what you’re generally referring to, but as someone who makes her living writing, I think that words – and semantics – do actually matter. Language is hard, but it’s necessary, and the key to doing almost anything...

There’s not a lot that makes you feel good about public bathrooms, but when the hand dryer replaced towel dispensers that you have to touch, I’m sure people felt pretty good about having clean hands and fingers when they left a restroom. I mean, you don’t have to touch them, they blow hot air…how could...
