There are a lot of everyday things about being a woman that men just do not understand. To be fair, it’s largely because they don’t deal with it, but also we hide from them how much work it takes to make ourselves look like human beings on a daily basis. Or maybe that’s just me,...

To say the world of dating has changed over the past few decades is an understatement of, well…decades. People swipe while they’re out on other dates, they have backup plans, and no one goes anywhere without people to get them out of crappy meetups. But this guy…this guy takes the cake. Not only was he...

Some guys think getting put in the Friend Zone is about the worst thing that can happen to a person. I would submit that if you think that, you’re not very good at putting yourself in the shoes of the opposite sex. Because dealing with a guy who thinks you owe him anything – friendship...

Ah, documentaries. The category during the Oscar ceremony where most people get up and pee. In truth, they always sound interesting to me, but with so many Spiderman remakes to see, who has the time? That was sort of tongue-in-cheek because dear heavens, no one has really seen all of the Spidermans, right? I guess...

PBS’s show Finding Your Roots had a pretty amazing surprise for its viewers during the season 4 premiere: Larry David and Bernie Sanders are actually related (not just for the sake of an SNL sketch). People started to notice a similarity between the two during last year’s presidential primary, which led to David parodying Sanders...

I think Tumblr Tales should be a thing. Maybe an NPR segment or, at the very least, one on the local morning news. (I don’t know about you, but the news guy in my market is goofy as shit and could totally pull it off). Until those ideas take off, though, you’ll just have to...

I was fortunate enough to visit New Zealand a couple of years ago. I loved it – it is one of only two countries I’ve visited where I could see myself living, if I ever decide to pull the expat trigger – and the South Island is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever...

You’ve heard, I’m sure, that there are likely people in the world who resemble you. Who might even look exactly like you – or close enough to freak you out, anyway. I suppose most people will never run across this so-called doppelgänger (though people have!), but I can tell you this – these 12 folks...

There are ads that come and go, products that head the way of the dinosaur, and some of both that have flash-in-the-pan, Super Bowl success without any staying power. The logos in this list, though, don’t fall into any of those categories. They’re logos that are so engrained in the minds of Americans, so pervasive...

We’ve done this hashtag before at Did You Know? but, man, there are too many good ones to stop! From critters to peeping toms to fires, it appears there is no shortage of horrible shit that make people finally realize it’s time to do something about their living situation. I mean, I am all for...

If you’re a woman, there’s a 102% chance that, at some point in your life, you’ve been walking down the street minding your own business when some dude decided to make you uncomfortable. My personal favorite was a homeless man in Chelsea who informed me that he would like to lick my elbows. Not sure...

I have friends who have taken up cross stitching, and I’m definitely not old. Older, sure, but not old. So when they started posting about their new hobby, I was a little confused as to how we got here. But then they started posting their finished projects – their gloriously curse-filled, politically relevant, irreverent projects...

There is a 50-square-mile radius in Yellowstone National Park that has been dubbed the “Zone of Death” by Michigan State law professor Brian Kalt. Why? Well, due to a legal anomaly, technically someone could commit murder inside the area and not face any consequences. The area of Yellowstone, which spills over the border from Wyoming to...

I know we’ve done different iterations of the weird roommate tweets before, but, to be honest, I’m pretty sure we could do, like, 20 before we started to run out of hilarious scenarios to share with you. Because these 11 might be better than anything we’ve shared before. Check it out. 11. He might have...

These days, people seem to throw around the term OCD in a manner that doesn’t refer to the clinical diagnosis. That upsets people who suffer from the disease, or love or live with someone suffering, but here’s the thing: there are a lot of people in our society without clinical OCD who still struggle to...
