There is absolutely no arguing with cat lovers – or the internet – about the amazingness of cats. And it’s true. They dgaf about much besides being fed and cuddled (on their terms, of course), and they aren’t shy about letting their humans know just who defines the relationship dynamic in the home. None of...

Who would have guessed there was such a phenomenon? Not me, before researching this article (which is one of the things I just love about my job!). It turns out that a close examination of your face can reveal your social class. I mean, I’m all for a society without classes but wth. We’ve got...

I’m guessing you probably haven’t given much thought to what people’s sex lives might have been like back when the Puritans settled America. I mean, they were Puritans, so it must have been…puritanical? Of course, we know they had sex (even if it wasn’t acceptable to speak about it) because they managed to do a...

We all know those people – the ones who seem like they shouldn’t be able to keep themselves alive, never mind do normal things like hold a job, have a bank account, or figure out public transit. It’s an everyday miracle when those things seem to happen for these folks. By every indication, these 12...

My grandfather was left-handed, and proud of it. He had a coffee mug that said ,”if the right half of the brain controls the left half of the body, then only left handed people are in their rights minds.” People got him gifts that made jokes out of it, but let’s face it  it’s a...

It never fails – you go to the emergency room because you’re dying, and you end up sitting and waiting while people who are dying faster (apparently) get called back to see the doctor before you. I know people who have decided that, in the face of the interminable ER wait, they’re not feeling so...

As I put this list together, I tried every single one of these things. Now that you’ve got that silly mental image in your head, don’t feel too badly about giving them a shot yourself! 15. These two songs are the same thing 14. So you don’t have to worry about blinding your spouse/waking up...

We know, in theory, that people use angles and lighting and filters and all sorts of other tricks to make themselves look extra good in the photo they post online. But I don’t think I understood just how much of a difference those things could make until I saw these side-by-side images posted by body-positive...

There are actually some things that make a person more attractive to the little buggers – and the good news is that some of them (like clothing and beverage choice) are under your control! Others (like your blood type, body type, and acid secretion) not so much. Not only are the bites itchy and annoying,...

I know, I know, that title, right? It’s a bold statement, but what the hell – some of these Tumblr posts live up to it, at least for me. Several of them did, in fact, make me stop and stare at nothing for a good 10-to-20 seconds while my mind adjusted to my new view...

Between 2009-2010, Paul Bartunek and David Seger produced and filmed a web series called Ikea Heights. They filmed the spoof soap opera inside a Burbank, CA IKEA…and they did it all without the store’s knowledge. I know. If you’re looking for a good laugh with a good story behind it, then you should check this...

Storytelling is an art. Decent comedic timing is worth its weight in gold. And if you can do it within the confines of a social media construct? Well, so much the better in this I-want-it-now era. These 12 Tumblr posts nailed it so hard. Do you agree? 12. Did anyone explain that your mom is...

We don’t expect to actually learn things from social media (with the exception of Twitter, perhaps. Or which of your Facebook friends are into pyramid schemes), but sometimes you learn something without really meaning to – and those sneak educations are some of the best things in the world. Here are 13 posts from Tumblr...

Okay, so I’ve known for a while that a good number of the people who attempt to climb Mount Everest never return. But knowing that fact and actually hearing the stories of how these people perished or seeing images of their frozen bodies still stiff where they fell in the snow are two different things....

We’ve shared posts before about the times when Americans confused Europeans (and they were pretty darn hilarious, I think). Now, we’re going to turn the tables with posts by Brits who had no idea they were going to blow people’s minds with how they go about their everyday lives. Have fun figuring these out, colonials!...
