When people complain about all of the “Karens” out there, what they’re really complaining about is the fact that there are way too many entitled people in this world. They demand others do things for them, even when it’s not convenient, there’s no reason to expect it, or even – in this case – when...

Reddit is one of the internet sites where people are unabashedly hilarious, and also one of the many sites where you’re not allowed to change your username once you’ve chosen it. Sure, people can and do make throwaway accounts, but that’s not what we’re talking about here – we’re talking about the times the perfect...

There are some actors who play so many roles so well that it’s impossible to link them to just one performance. Other actors are so inextricably linked to a single, iconic role that it’s hard to ever separate them in our minds – not that we would want to. Dutch artist Ard Gelinck is a master...

Movies, television, books – all kinds of entertainment are full of cliches. It’s because they’re easy, sure, but it’s also because they’re something most people inherently understand, which allows the writers to shortcut some explanation. Just because they have a purpose doesn’t mean it’s not funny (and sometimes insulting), though, and Twitter recently had a...

I love movies. Going to the movies is one of the things I have missed most about this past year, and I cannot wait to get back to it as soon as I can. That said, even people who love movies recognize that there are some truly silly cliches that Hollywood relies on like they’re...

In every line of food service, no matter how generic and mundane your menu, people will find a way to shock and surprise you. Sometimes it’s in a good way, opening your eyes to possibilities you never considered on the menu you see all day, every day. Most of the time, though, they make you...

Anyone in any kind of food service will tell you that the saying “there’s no accounting for taste” is absolutely true. People order all kinds of weird stuff, and the person taking the order just has to smile like this is a totally normal thing to write down and serve to a human being. If...

If you’re not living life as a woman, it can be hard to understand what it’s like to walk around feeling not exactly secure, pretty much all of the time. Women and girls have to be on their guard, watching their surroundings, picking out exit strategies, prepared to lie or laugh and jokes that aren’t...

The obvious solution to this problem is to set your messages not to display content if your phone is locked, but I guess if someone else was actually using your phone, that might not always work. If there was a foolproof solution, these 16 people would surely be all ears after these cringey moments of...

Growing up comes with pains, whether it’s the physical ones of our youths – aching legs and the like – or the emotional scars that we accumulate with years of living. One of the things that changes without our even noticing is sleep – we used to love going to sleep, right? It felt so...

Becoming an adult is no joke, and it seems as if there are some times in life – usually in transition periods – when people really start to question whether or not live in general really means much of anything in the long run. What is life without a few existential crises, am I right?...

In America, people flex on being a “workaholic” – someone who is always plugged into their job, who works way more hours than they get paid for, who can’t put work out of their mind, and who even prioritizes work over family, friends, and their own mental health. In other parts of the world, like...

I think that, deep down, we all recognize that humans are strange and intricate beings, each different but, at our cores, very similar. We all do things that might seem weird, I suppose, but we want to know that nothing’s really wrong with us for doing it – which is why forums like Reddit’s “No...

This is a question that’s getting more and more traction in this day and age of cancel culture. Because of things like social media, movements like #metoo, and the twenty-four hour news cycle, we’re learning more than ever before about the creators behind some of our favorite products. It’s not as if we’re unfamiliar with...

Secrets have a way of coming out eventually, but when the secret isn’t yours to tell (or really know), most people do their best to keep it to themselves – and that goes double when someone else’s life could hang in the balance. That said, the internet is full of strangers, so there’s no harm...
