There’s advice pretty much everywhere you look these days, and even though much of it is oft-repeated or a dime a dozen, every once in a while you come across a thread that contains some true gems. These 13 pieces of life advice, offered on Twitter, contain more than a few bits of knowledge that...

There are millions of people on Twitter, and I would venture to say that a pretty good portion of them think they’re some kind of funny. And while that may be true, it’s also true that no one is funny all of the time – and very few Twitter accounts are dedicated to making people...

If there is a cool kind of nerd in the world, it’s a history nerd. At least, I think so. History is interesting, it’s funny, it’s illuminating, and most of all, it bonds us together in ways we can hardly realize sometimes. If you love history, too, and you love feeling smart and laughing about...

I suppose there are people out there who only know Judy Garland’s name and face and voice from her iconic role as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. Those people might even be lucky, because they don’t realize how horribly tragic and wasted her beautiful life can seem when you know all of the rest of...

It’s coming up on pothole-fixing season, y’all. I suppose this is superior to pothole-making season (winter and early spring) but honestly, all of our lives and cars and pocketbooks would be better off if there were no potholes at all. Maybe the key to preventing potholes is knowing how they get there in the first...

I’m not sure that learning about space, stars, planets, and the like will ever get old or boring. Partly because we all like to dream about what’s out there, but also because we’re literally always exploring and learning new things. If you’re curious about Uranus, the farthest planet from the sun and one of only...

There are lots of posts and lists out there filled with jokes and truths about life with siblings, but listen – some people don’t have the pleasure (or curse) because they’re only children. That’s why we put this list together, filled with funnies about life as an only child that you don’t need friends around...

There are tips and tricks all over the internet, all claiming to know the best way to start, go about, and finish your day. A lot of these crossover – get a good night’s sleep, drink plenty of water, pet your dog – but if you ask me, nothing feels quite as good as a...

It’s no secret at this point that science has, on several occasions throughout history, gone too far in its pursuit of progress. Unethical experiments have been performed on human beings without the agency to resist, lies have been told, dangerous substances haven’t been protected, and psychological damage has been waved aside, even in rooms with...

The very first Aldi opened in Germany in 1961, and then in 1976 the discount grocery store made its way across the pond to America. There are currently 1,900+ stores in 36 states, and enthusiasts say their cost-cutting measures are worth the deals they find lining the aisles. Like with every single job everywhere, though,...

In a world where everyone is always looking for the next best source of renewable energy, I doubt most of us considered that we might be staring at a decent one in the mirror every single morning. That’s exactly what scientists are saying is possible though – that we might be able to power things...

For most of us, cleaning isn’t something we wake up dying to do every day (though it can certainly be cathartic under the right circumstances), but nevertheless, it’s something that has to be done. Unless you enjoy living among filth and vermin, in which case, good luck and scoot along. If you want to keep...

For a long time, the subject of bullying was treated like a joke. Something to be survived, something to prove you’d earned your stripes as a kid, or something. These days students, parents, and educators take it all more seriously, realizing that the scars obtained in childhood, at the hands of mean kids (and sometimes...

If you’re an adult, or anyone autonomous enough to decide on and execute your own personal grooming habits, I think those habits should be your business and no one else’s – not even a romantic partner’s, if we’re being completely honest. When it comes to health and comfort, I am a crusader, y’all. This woman...

Times, they are a changin’, my friends. Back in the 60’s, women burned their bras to protest the Vietnam War (among other things), but in “polite” society, the proper undergarments have always been required. Even the sitcom Seinfeld tackled the issue in an episode in the late 90s, in which a woman wearing no bra...
