If you’re a person who has used the microwave a good number of times, there’s a decent chance that you’ve accidentally put metal in there – even though you know you’re not supposed to. For me, it’s usually when I was in a sleep-deprived state – I left the spoon in or whatever – though...

Clue is having a whole resurgence with a new movie and tie-in novels, and I, for one, am happy to see this cult classic return for new audiences and a new generation. That said, even if you’ve loved it since you were a kid (*raises hand*) there are probably a few things you don’t know...

I don’t know about you, but in my mind, being intimate with a partner is something that should maintain some level of mystery. Or at the very least, you should just be able to cuddle afterward instead of comparing stats like you’re trying to make the playoffs. So, this might fall under the category of...

Crafting the perfect tweet is some kind of magic. Or science, maybe. Or both? It has to be relevant and witty and short-form, and not offend too many people, all at the same time. That’s not easy, my friends. It might be a lot to ask, but let me tell you, there’s nothing more satisfying...

Human beings have more than a few ways to decide something at random – roll a die, flip a coin, pick a number – but one thing that actually doesn’t works so well: computers. Computers struggle to truly be random, even when they’re programmed to do exactly that. You’ve probably noticed that even if you...

The airline losing your luggage is pretty much a nightmare. I mean sure, you can pack the things you really need in your carry-on, but there’s just something about not having your things that can make you feel so much more lost, and stressed, especially if you’re away from home. Most of the time, though,...

Sure, some transgressions can be forgiven because we’re family – but some things are just unforgivable horror shows. Frankly, these people below should be shamed for the rest of their lives (preferably on the internet). That’s how bad they are. Let’s be real: these 14 siblings clearly are gonna get what’s coming to them. 14....

Disney+ is here, Star Wars is over (for now), so you might be sitting there thinking that Disney is going to leave you cold and alone without any new content. I mean, not alone, because you could spend literal years watching all of the amazing offerings on Disney+. But you know what I mean. You’ll...

When I was in elementary school, my best friend trusted me to babysit her goldfish while she and her family went out of town. It died. My parents, in their infinite wisdom, decided to replace the fish with one that looked similar. It worked okay, but it was just a fish – losing something larger...

Weight loss is something that crosses pretty much every person’s mind at one time or another. Maybe the holidays come round, and we overindulge. Or maybe we start to stress-eat because of a major new project at work. Or maybe we get pregnant, and after giving birth we want to get back to the pre-baby...

It might seem impossible that a store that offers pretty much everything on its shelves cheaper than anywhere else (if not for an actual $1) could be a profitable business. Dollar stores (to be clear, we’re talking about the category of stores “dollar stores,” not the chain of dollar stores called “Dollar Store”) have been...

Few things get you in the spirit more easily than a cup of hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and your favorite holiday flick. That said, some people have watched their favorites so many times they don’t have to pay attention – leaving their brains free to come up with theories, instead. Here are 5 of...

Every year, someone asks what’s on your Christmas list. It’s understood that, once you’re out of college, no one actually cares what’s on your list – but as a kid…well, you just never know what you might get. Are your parents feeling guilty because of a divorce or something? Are you used to getting what...

My kids are too little for an Elf on the Shelf just yet, and right now the jury’s still out on whether or not one will come live at our house in holidays future. I suppose it’s become a must-do because why would some children get visited by an elf and others wouldn’t? Sigh. Let...

You’ve probably heard and/or seen the holiday Peloton ad – the one that definitely didn’t go the way the company wanted? It features a wife and mother who receives an exercise bike, then goes on to document her fitness journey online. The problem is that it sort of plays like a horror movie in which...
