There are a lot of people online these days who consider every single opinion equal, or consider their (mostly uninformed) opinions to be fact, and there’s nothing quite like watching someone shut them down completely. At least, not if you ask me. I’ve stopped getting involved in this stuff myself, for blood pressure reasons, but...

The world was a certain way for a long time, at least when it comes to the idea of “respecting our elders” and keeping our mouths shut in order to keep the peace, even if we really, really don’t agree with the rude and harmful things they say. This woman grew up with a homophobic...

It’s probably true that most people in the world want to do right by kids, even those who aren’t theirs – children are the future and all of that. That said, when dealing with kids who aren’t yours, there’s much to consider…like exactly how much responsibility should you take for an injured stranger who is also...

Hunting for a job is absolutely a slog. It’s not fun at all, and of course that extends to the entire interview and hiring process. If you’re making your way through it right now, hoping to land a job that’s going to be a great fit, chances are you’ll take any advice that will help...

The tide of change moves slowly, but once it gets going, it’s hard to hold it back for very long. After decades (centuries) of the patriarchy ruling the world and telling women how (and how not) to feel while occupying public spaces with men, there are people and places stepping up to listen to women...

Most of us have had to live paycheck-to-paycheck at some point in our lives, and if you have, you know that sinking feeling you can get just logging into your bank account. I can actually not imagine the panic that would ensue, however, if the balance that came up was negative $50 billion dollars. I...

There are all kinds of brands out there that we encounter on basically a daily basis, and even though there might be plenty about them that we don’t love, the truth is that we’re never going to stop buying, eating, or using them. They’re kind of like old friends, honestly, which means we’re allowed to...

There are surely no shortage of lists out there claiming to be full of the funniest tweets around, but here’s the thing – people are hilarious, and Twitter is the perfect place to dump your poignant, funny, and spot-on thoughts any day of the week. Which means there are no shortage of tweets that will...

I know it seems like there are bigger things we can do in this world that just make people laugh, but if you really think about it, what could be more important? More satisfying? More helpful to thousands of humans? If you’re thinking that a laugh is just what the doctor ordered for your day,...

There are many things in this world that turn out to be overrated, but smiling and laughing aren’t two of them. Social media might be designed to be addictive, but personally, I think one reason it has gripped us so hard is its capacity to make us laugh. Like these 14 tweets, for example, which...

In reality, most of us probably don’t go around appreciating architecture the way that we should. Their work can be interesting and innovative, of course, but we should be most thankful that it’s sound and you know, doesn’t regularly collapse and kill us. But these 16 architects have gone above and beyond, not only giving...

You know that moment when you have the perfect comeback, or a joke you know is just going to hit like mad? It’s pretty great, right? What might be even better, though, is when you come up with a comeback to someone else’s great joke in the moment, like your brain is just working at top-notch capacity....

Have you ever sat back and imagined what you would create if you could bring anything into existence just by thinking about it? On a whim, you could just blink and, I don’t know, combine a lemur and raccoon just for fun…so why not? If you’ve never played this game before, get ready for some...

If you haven’t dreamed about shouting at everyone in the world the way you shout into the void, well…I doubt we would ever be friends. It’s tempting to think that if we could just get everyone to listen to reason, things could be different – but what would you say? These 17 people have some...

I would say these are jokes for everyone out there, but don’t we all know that one person who just doesn’t have a sense of humor at all, so I didn’t want to assume. If you’re a normal person who enjoys a good laugh now and again, then go ahead and scroll – we’re pretty sure you’ll...
