It can take way too long for people to mature enough to realize their own self worth. Most of us have so many insecurities while growing up, and they can linger into young adulthood far longer than we would like. If we’re lucky, we learn how to value ourselves before any lasting and permanent damage...

If you’d asked me before I read through this list of answers, I would have guessed that most of the memories boys (and men) have from their days using locker rooms aren’t exactly great. Who likes being naked with a bunch of friends, especially during those awkward high school years? These 16 guys have more...

Relationships are tricky, whether they’re within the family, new additions, people at work, or ones that involve romance. We can wonder after pretty much every choice whether or not we made the right ones, and luckily these days, we have the internet to turn to for judgment. This girl lives near her brother, who recently...

If you’ve spent any time at all around kids, you know there’s no way to tell exactly what is going to come out of their mouths when. It’s part of their charm, and it keeps you on your toes. Teachers know this better than most, so I have to believe their poker faces are also...

There’s that old saying “there’s no such thing as a stupid question,” but I think we all know at this point that’s not true. There are definitely dumb questions, but that doesn’t stop people from asking them. The worst ones, as least as far as I can tell, are the dumb questions that are posed...

I’m not saying that everything we learn in school is total hogwash, but I am saying that there are some topics that are pretty universally covered that don’t seem to be especially useful down the road. Wondering what I mean? These 13 people have a pretty solid lead on what subjects could be dropped from...

If there’s one thing that drives people nuts, it’s a bunch of other people – or like, basically everyone – believing something about their field that’s just not true. Who even knows how these myths begin, honestly, but before you know it literally everyone in the world is making short jokes about Napoleon. Who was...

Listen, if there’s one thing that many of us have realized we can’t live without these past couple of years, it’s travel. Whether you’re going to visit family or are jetting off somewhere new, there’s just something fresh and exciting about going out of town every single time. If you’ve traveled enough, though, you’ve probably...

If you think that a majority of people in America have a decent grasp on the historical events that have gotten us to this point, well…I’m very sorry to have to disappoint you on that topic. We all took those history classes in school, but if your education was anything like mine, a disturbing number...

There are two types of people in this world – people who accumulate new and fancy things at every opportunity, and people who love trolling garage sales and secondhand stores and their grandparents’ cabinets for the vintage styles they love. These 11 people are the latter type, and their schlepping to Goodwill (among other places)...

There are things in life that we expect to hurt, so when it happens, it sucks but we were somewhat prepared. I think we’re somewhat affronted by the things that seem small, or like no big deal, but that end up knocking us right on our butts with pain. That’s exactly what these 14 people...

I think we all have those ideas, deep down, that we’re sure are true even though there is absolutely no evidence to support that belief. If we’re talking big picture, there’s obviously religion, but there are plenty of smaller examples, too. If you’re curious whether there are people out there who have the same firm...

You would probably be surprised that many of the colloquial “truths” our parents told us – because their parents had told them, and so on – aren’t actually founded in facts. It can hurt a little to hear some of these, y’all, but listen. If you’ve ever wanted to help out a little baby bird,...

I know there are more than two genders, and that there are so many things that “opposite sex” could mean (and not mean) if we’re talking about romantic relationships, here, but I don’t necessarily think that we are. If you’re someone who is confused about how the people different from you operate on a daily...

No matter your gender or sexual preferences, there’s always a moment in life when an awakening occurs. Either we begin to notice people we’re attracted to in new ways, or we notice our friends begin to notice and discuss it, but either way, there’s no arguing that most of us are clueless at the start. It...
