If your social media feeds are full of too much doom and gloom and, let’s be honest, reality these days, you might be ready for a reminder or two of just why we’re so keen on saving this whole planet and the people on it. Some days you just need to remember that it’s ok...

We all like to look smart in front of our family, friends, coworkers, and bosses, right? I think so, and when it comes to smooth computer tricks, it never hurts to have a few up your sleeve to make your own life easier, too. If you’re up for learning a few things along those lines,...

If you have a question that you’ve asked and asked, but none of the answers you’ve gotten are really making sense to you, well…have you thought of asking Reddit? These 16 people brought some seriously thought-provoking questions to the table, and surprise! Reddit thinks they’ve answered a good portion of them. 16. I never thought...

As a society, we spend a lot time romanticizing the act of falling in love, but what about the usually inevitable counter event – the falling out of love? Statistically speaking, we’ll fall out of love far more times than we’ll fall in love, and if you’re wondering what those awful moments were like for others, these...

Typically, we have quite a few choices when it comes to new films releasing to theaters (or recently, at home). Whatever you like – comedy, drama, documentary, romance – Hollywood is pumping them out in hopes you’ll choose their movie to sit down with on a Saturday night. That said, very few movies are special,...

I’m not sure we ever want to see creepy things, unless that’s our kink or you know, we’re on a ghost tour or something. That said, there are moments when you’re prepared to see something weird, and that can make it a little bit easier. These 15 people were not prepared for the creepy horrors that...

Getting fired is almost never a laughing matter. We’re working because we need the money and the insurance, and everyone (except maybe teenagers) have bills that need to be paid. That said, sometimes life is so absurd there’s not much to do but laugh at it – and I hope these 16 people were able...

It’s nice to believe that nothing will change from the way it is today, and we can easily plan the rest of our lives without accounting for things like climate change, a shifting economy, natural disasters, and an unstable political landscape. That’s not reality, of course, so if you’re keen to worry (and maybe plan...

Traveling is usually the highlight of a year – or even of a lifetime – but there’s no denying that sometimes, places can underwhelm you. Worse, the experience can be downright negative, leaving you feeling as if you were swindled out of your time and money and given nothing but bad vibes in return. If...

There are more than a couple of reasons that we should all try our best to be patient and kind when dealing with strangers or friends-of-friends in public spaces. We don’t know these people, for one, and so shouldn’t they get the benefit of the doubt? Another reason, if you need one, is that by...

The menu at a restaurant is sometimes created by a chef, but more often than not it’s set by an owner, a manager, or some corporate dude who has no idea how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Or he pretends not to, anyway, so someone else will make it for him. If you want...

Coincidences happen, of course – those things that shouldn’t have happened so perfectly but somehow did – and the small ones happen often enough that we’ve trained ourselves to shrug and move on. What about the big ones, though? The ones that you wouldn’t believe if they hadn’t happened to you, or the ones that...

The world is a different place than it was a decade ago, and of course, even more different than it was in the decades before that – and one thing that’s changed it how people are more and more willing to stand up for their beliefs in every day life. When we see racism or...

If you ask me, one of the better slogans to come out of the past decade is the ever-popular, always-applicable, “see something, say something.” It basically means that the time for keeping quiet in order to spare people embarrassment is over, at least when it comes to important issues that affect us all. One of...

As much as many of us really enjoy gardening, having a green thumb is harder and takes considerably more effort – and luck – than you might have thought going in. That said, even the greenest of gardening thumbs can struggle from time to time with certain plants, seasons, etc. If you’ve got a bunch...
