If there’s one thing I’ve learned for 100% sure after browsing the internet, it’s that I don’t spend nearly enough time sifting through thrift stores. From weird, to amazing, back to creepy and onto totally fascinating, you can literally find anything lurking on the shelves. A fact that these 20 people must have known when...

If you’re a heterosexual woman, or a homosexual man, or a bisexual person, or like, any person with a pulse or probably also if you’re an alien, you probably realize that actor Jason Momoa is an attractive human being. It’s not really debatable. Empirically, he is attractive. You can @ me if you want, but...

“World’s Worst Cat,” of course, is one of those honorary titles, like “World’s Greatest Dad” or “Best Sister In The World.” It’s not like there’s an actual competition or even an official poll one has to win before wearing one of these superlatives like a badge. Someone just has to be of the opinion that...

There has long been a point of debate in the cats vs. dogs argument in which dog people sneer at cat people because we all know that, should a cat owner die, the cat would care so little for their owner that they would eat their corpse. Something a loyal dog would never do of...

We’ve been talking a lot about koalas lately, and, sadly, it’s not just because they’re ridiculously adorable little mammals who deserve attention in the best of times. The wildfires in Australia are killing them, destroying their habitat, and may even render them essentially extinct in the wild if we don’t do anything to help.  ...

In the vast and growing pile of cool things offered to us by science, a speaking 3,000-year-old mummy has got to come out somewhere near the top. Laypeople, historians, archaeologists, and scientists alike have all been fascinated with the legacy of Ancient Egypt since we first discovered the remains of their society. Since they were...

Generally speaking, parents everywhere should be careful about letting their kids join social media platforms. You should talk to them ahead of time about the potential dangers, and also let them know that you’ll have access to their passwords and accounts and will be free to check their activity at any time. Savvy parents are...

You’ve probably heard that trash dumped into waterways around the world makes its way to the ocean, where it’s endangering the lives of all manner of marine life. It can be a difficult problem to look directly at because no one wants to see animals hurting because of human behavior, but until we recognize the...

Bad news for all of those kiddos headed to the nurse’s office, praying her thermometer spits out a temperature of 100 degrees or higher – you’re most likely starting from a point lower than 98.6. The world’s “normal” body temperature was established back in the 19th century, and though most accept it as a reasonable...

We hear stories all of the time about private schools behaving badly, but this story really takes the (rainbow-themed) cake. You’re probably aware, of course, that rainbows are used to show pride in and celebrate the LGBTQ community – but also they are rainbows. They are happy-making, and people generally just like them. According to...

There are so many cool things out there in the world, you’d never be able to see them all in one lifetime. And incredible projects like this are one reason to not just chuck the entire dumpster fire of the internet; now everyone around the world gets to see this gorgeous sculpture of a roaring,...

I confess, as someone who does neither (but wants to learn!), I’m ignorant about whether my lovely friends are sending my kids hats and scarves and blankets that have been knitted or crocheted (and honestly why it matters). But, hey, I’m always up for learning something new! Come along with me for the ride, why...

HPV – the human papillomavirus – is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection among sexually active people. One of the reasons it’s so transmitted is that most people show few or no symptoms and there’s not even a test for men, so there’s often no way to be warned that you might have it, much...

I’ve never really been one to collect things (aside from books), but I understand that many people all over the world find themselves with houses full of one thing or another. My mother collected Precious Moments figurines, my sister loves dreamcatchers, my husband, raw gems and minerals…. And if any of those things surprise you,...

Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that kind of pops up out of nowhere for many of us (probably because it’s got nothing to do with the kiddos), so we can be left scrambling to find a romantic way to show our significant other how special they are to us. You don’t want to...
