It is a fact of life that everyone ages, but before you go thinking that’s a reason to be melancholy or sad, think about this – getting older is better than the alternative. So, while it’s fun to visit the past and see what these popular musicians looked like then and now, let’s remember to...

It can be hard some days to remember that people are inherently good. The news is constantly pummeling us with atrocities, and most of tangle with people every day, in real life or online, who make us almost wish another giant asteroid was incoming. These 3 stories will make you feel the opposite, though, and...

I don’t know many people who haven’t struggled with their relationship with food at some point in our lives. We want to be healthy and to live long lives, but in this day and age we have so many delicious choices – many of which aren’t great for us – that it can be hard...

If there’s one thing I can say that I’ve learned for sure as a woman who has been many different weights at many different times in her life, it’s that diets that require you to deprive yourself of everything you love will never work long term. Human beings want to enjoy our lives, not just...

I don’t see how anyone who has ever used Gorilla Glue could think it was a good idea to put it near any single part of their body, never mind their hair. I hate when it gets on my fingers, which is sometimes unavoidable, but my hair? I would assume that shaving my head was...

The best and most effective solutions to everyday speed bumps are often the simplest. It’s almost elegant, sometimes, how one person can come up with a way to streamline a small annoyance with a hack the rest of us have missed. If you want to be the most prepared you can be for any ol’...

Parents adore all of their children, regardless of gender. That should extend to sexual preference and gender identity as well, and I hope one day that it will. That said, there does seem to be a special bond between parents and their offspring of the opposite sex – dads and their daughters, moms and their...

Have you ever looked at the back of a lightbulb, a power cord, or the like and wondered why all of the numbers and words back there looked like gibberish? Or maybe you understand a little of what the words mean as far as how you apply it, but as far as what they actually mean,...

Living with other people is tough. We learn this early in life, if we have siblings, but sometimes living with friends (or strangers) as a young adult is even tougher – you don’t share blood and DNA, and you’re paying your own way, so it can be hard to make concessions. This guy lives with...

Most of us are pretty attached to our engagement rings. They’re sentimental, sure, but they’re also worth quite a bit of money, and so we tend to be protective of them. I would say that goes double for people who have just received them, too – like this woman, who is just so excited about...

When it comes to other people’s physical appearances, keeping mum is often the best and really only course of action. When someone you love comes to you asking for advice or opinions – or is lamenting a problem when you think their appearance might solve the issue – the advice to keep silent isn’t always...

While the United States might be as divided as ever, there are a few things that can unite us. One of those things is reading about interesting information and putting it in the proper context. That’s what the folks over at reddit/r/MapP**n like to do. Check out the following 14 maps that show all of...

Ah, cats. We love them, they sometimes love us, but the bottom line is, we’re not going to kick them out of our houses anytime soon. I mean, who wants to deprive the internet of their cat videos? Not I. Since we’re all going to continue cohabitating with our feline friends, wouldn’t you like to...

I honestly have never looked too closely at the houses I drive by every day, at least not when I wasn’t actually looking to buy a new house. It’s not my business, though, and I can see how people who design and build houses for a living wouldn’t be able to look at anything else....

One of my favorite things about the internet is how you never know quite what you need in your life until someone comes along to give it to you. In this case, it’s a carpenter pointing out all of the weird and unsavory window shutters he sees while going about his business every day. Let...
