Look, I get that doughnuts are a very personal thing. Some people like fancy stuff, others like a classic glazed, and don’t even get me started on the border wars between the cake and yeast folks. For me, Krispy Kreme doughnuts have never been a favorite because I prefer more bread and less sugar, but...

I don’t know about you, but the revival that The Muppets have enjoyed over the past decade has just been a delight. Even my young kids are into it now, singing along to The Muppet Babies, asking to turn on The Muppet Show on Disney+, and yes, requesting that we listen to original hit song “Mah Na Mah Na”...

I’m pretty sure that about 95% of the population could use an extra $500,000, right? The only catch is that you have to be smart enough to figure out a solution to a problem that the literal smartest people on the planet – those who work at NASA – have been poking without success for...

In this day and age, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone more universally liked – and maybe more universally good – than Dolly Parton. She does important work for people who need it, especially kids, and especially those from her native and beloved Tennessee, and she does it all without fanfare. You can find all...

I think it’s fair to say that we no longer live in an era where dead is necessarily the same thing as gone forever. Between medical advances, extreme life-saving measures, and cloning – not to mention that thing where people think we can upload our consciousness into a computer – I have no doubt that...

There’s just something that’s so satisfying about pie charts and other types of graphs, and though we typically go to them when we need something, you know, useful graphed, Instagram user Matt Shirley is proving that interesting info is just as fun to chart. He’s making charts and graphs for the everyday scenario – ones that...

There are stories pretty regularly that float around the internet, usually about people who live in apartments, often those apartments exist in NYC, where something totally freaking scary pops up out of nowhere. Sometimes it’s ghosts, sometimes it’s scarier than that because it’s actually real, but I have no idea what could be freakier than...

If you’re not someone who is into astrology and witchy stuff and the old religions, you probably think the idea that the stars, the sun, or the moon can really affect how we feel and act on an given day is a bunch of bunk. While we don’t have arguments against or for the ideas...

There’s a certain type of person in the world who just adores words and grammar and yes, all kinds of punctuation. I’m not sure it’s most people, but for those of us who are into it, we know we’re part of a smarty-pants club, and we love it. If that’s you, I hope you’ll find...

I hope that you clicked on this headline because you love a scintillating saga, because ladies and germs (and everyone else), have I got a story for you. This is the tale, my friends, of how a gargoyle dressed in holiday regalia really, really managed to get under the skin of a neighborhood Karen, even...

There have been a few fads that have risen in popularity since the world went into quarantine. One of those things is the Randonautica app. Users pull it up before they go on a walk, randomly generate a coordinate, and then tell is what your “intention” is before setting out. Somehow – for these 16...

We all fail now and again (some of us more often than we admit on social media). Sometimes it’s nothing big, and other times it causes our partner to make fun of us and maybe we even chuckle a bit to ourselves about what an idiot we are. Other times, though, the world really deserves...

A good power move can be worth its weight in gold, and most of us will have real reason to pull them out at least occasionally in our lives – we have to let people know where boundaries are, after all. That said, people also choose to loose power moves over truly silly situations, and...

These days, many parents are on the hunt for discipline methods that help guide kids from childhood into adulthood without all of the drama and crying and sometimes spanking that we endured growing up. A watershed moment for me was reading that the term discipline comes from the word disciple. So, if you’re not teaching...

You hear all the time these days about how birth rates are down all over the world. It’s easy enough to understand at least some of the reasons this might be an issue, like the fact that we need young people to take care of all of the old farts and all of that. It...
