If conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton were born in England or the United States today, doctors believe they would have been easily separated not long after birth. The girls were connected at the hips and buttocks and shared only blood circulation and no organs. As it happened, the unfortunate girls were born in the...

Anyone who has owned a cat, worked with strays, or, you know, been generally acquainted with cats knows that they can be hella temperamental. They like some people, they don’t like others (sometimes the same person, depending on the minute or mood), and if they don’t want to do something, good luck convincing them. None...

Over the past several months, we’ve seen dozens of accusations and admissions of sexual assault come across our news feeds. But whether the assaults were perpetrated by celebrities or previously unknown citizens, it often feels like the apologies offered up are anything but sincere. And it’s easy to see why, since they seem to consist...

Chances are, you know someone living with depression. Maybe it’s you that struggles with depression on a day-to-day basis, or maybe you’re searching for ways to better understand someone who is. Regardless, these tweets umask just how depression can feel for some people. They may speak to you, and they might hurt to read, but...

Sometimes, a hashtag gives us too much awesome for one post, and the people who took to Twitter to share about their weird siblings definitely qualify. Make sure and check out the first 15 we posted, and keep laughing after you’ve scrolled through these 12 “leftovers” that just begged to be shared. #12. This guy...

Sure, there are times when we wish that our parents would have stopped after the first child (especially if we’re the oldest), but the truth is that our siblings make life more interesting. As children, they give us a playmate, a scapegoat, a cohort, and a friend. As adults, they’re a shoulder to lean on,...

There are posts that are mildly amusing, some that make you laugh out loud, and then there are those that,  as soon as you read them, you know that they’re going to end up in the Tumblr Hall of Fame, atop of the Tumblr Medal Stand. You get the idea. These 17 definitely land at the...

Who doesn’t love to snort-laugh, y’all? These posts are way humorous, are likely to cause a snort-laugh, and are definitely not to be read while drinking milk! (Side note: My little brother once exploded milk across our family dinner table because we made him snort-laugh as he took a sip.) Don’t lie – you love...

When it comes to questions that have been asked since the beginning of time, there’s no argument that “what happens after we die” is one of the oldest and most often pondered. It affects 100% of humans, after all, and we all have a natural fear of the “end” of our lives, and our bodies,...

I mean, if you’re into that. Because I realize that some people sign onto Tumblr (and the internet in general) so they can mindlessly laugh at cats or escape their stupid job for a few precious minutes. We’re all in the mood to think sometimes, though, so if that’s you, well…you’ve come to the right...

Christmas might technically still be the favorite child when it comes to holidays, but there’s no denying that Halloween – smack dab in the middle of Pumpkin Spice Autumn – is giving it a run for its money. The scented candles, the colored leaves, the smell of logs smoking in fireplaces up and down the...

There’s a weird phenomenon that every woman in America has been involved with since our twelfth birthdays (or before or after or whatever) – the shameful monthly period. Never mind that this natural biological function is necessary for the survival of the human race (which people with penises ought to be SUPER INVESTED IN btw),...

For many, the romance of the lonesome cowboy, the skilled gunslinger, the train-robbing bandit, and the wagon trains to new places and adventure is undying. So much of our collective western past has been immortalized in song, book, or on the silver screen that it can be hard to separate fact from legend…and oftentimes, that’s...

The CIA, like other branches of law enforcement, uses dogs to perform essential, frontline duties – like sniffing out bombs in areas of potential threat (like in airports). They raise and train these dogs from puppies to be focused on their noble purpose of keeping humanity safe. But what if one of those dogs just...

Freedom of speech is one of the cornerstones on which the United States is built. And sure, things have been a bit wobbly lately, but even if it is a little cracked, we’ve still got it. Which is exactly what these sign-toting patriots proved when they took to the streets to oppose other people who...
