If you’re someone who grew up with privilege, it can be hard to see how exactly you benefit from the world you were born into. Having privilege doesn’t mean you’re well off or you’ve never had struggles, it simply means that who you are and what you look like aren’t the cause of your struggles. If you’re...

As if archaeology wasn’t amazing enough, discovering human footprints that are 115,000 years old, they have to go and bring us a pretty enticing mystery, too – like, why are these footprints where they are, and who made them? What can they tell us? In short, that homo sapien wandered the Arabian Peninsula far earlier than...

Okay, fine. You’ll probably only feel like one of the cool kids until someone goes “really, you got a Harley?” and then demands to see your “bike” and finds out it’s, you know. A bike as in bicycle. Still, bicycles are awesome and so are people that ride them, so why would a company like...

I know it’s easy to make jokes about KFC and the people who can’t get enough of the finger lickin’ good, but listen – that chicken is good, and if you don’t think so, something might be wrong with you. Now, if you’re someone who loves KFC and isn’t afraid to shout that from the...

If you ask me right now, sleeping away the winter – and maybe dropping a few pounds in the process – sounds pretty darn amazing. Instead we’re muddling along in the cold, coping with everything that’s happening with donuts and alcohol. Just me? According to a recent study, it turns out that our human ancestors...

Anyone who loves television has a sliding scale of shows. There are the ones that are fine, but we immediately forget after they go off the air. There are ones we truly enjoy, but might not remember to pick up for a second or third season, and the ones we really love and will always...

We’ve all gotta have a good power move or two in our arsenal, because sometimes you have to let other people know where you’re drawing the line. That said, some folks like to bust out their power moves in situations that really don’t call for them, but you know what? I’m gonna let it slide,...

There are millions and millions of tweets, and honestly, there are hundreds of accounts out there that are worth a follow. That said, keeping up with the best every day can be a daunting task! If you want a laugh but you’re too lazy to scroll for it, listen. We’ve got you covered with 12...

If you’ve only got five minutes for a break and a laugh, what better way to spend it than with some recent and hilarious tweets?  And if you’re not sure where to find said tweets, since there are so many to dig through, listen – we’ve got you covered with 13 that are all but...

There are questions you never really consider until something out of the ordinary happens and you’re forced to think it over. One of those things, I imagine, is the answer to how you should handle it if a valet crashes your car while it’s in their possession. If we’ve got you curious now, good thing...

When you imagine a relationship between a therapist and their patient, you probably think of something calm and collected, understanding and encouraging – and chances are, most relationships are like that. In every profession, though, there are people who really don’t belong in the field. Here are 13 therapists who said truly terrible things to...

Family dynamics can be tough to navigate, and I think that probably goes at least double for families that aren’t yours. Joining your partner’s family and attempting to figure out what’s going on there can be stressful to say the least. For this woman, she was also stepping lightly around a cultural divide, but since...

As a mother, I live with the fear that someone could call CPS on me at any time, for any thing. Once that call is made the state has to follow up (rightfully so), and most parents would like to avoid going through that unnecessary scrutiny if at all possible, I think. So to read...

More and more people are making different dietary choices these days – whether it’s for health reasons, because of a concern for the environment, or over moral objections – and many of those changes mean no longer eating meat (or any animal byproducts, in the case of vegans). If you know a passionate vegan, there’s...

One of the roughest things about being an adult and buying your own food and stuff is having to figure out what to buy when, how long something will reliably last, and having to throw things in the trash that cost you some of your hard-earned money. Fresh produce is the most likely culprit here,...
