Flossing is something people do regularly, I hear – but just as often, it’s something people fudge to their dentist about how much they actually take the time. This query was posted in Reddit’s No Stupid Question forum, and honestly, it’s information we’ve all probably wondered at some point in our lives. Just how many days...

What I think is important to remember when talking about anything that’s a sort of creative or mindless outlet is that people engage for all sorts of reasons. Sure, some people log hours on video games with the clear intention of being the best, accumulating all of the rewards, and being able to say they...

We all know a scary story or two, whether we’ve experienced them ourselves (eep!), they happened to a friend, or we read or watched them as they were spun by a professional of some sort. If they’re truly creepy, then we also love to share them – because who wants to be scared alone – and...

All of us have heard a story that really sticks with us in our life – the one that creeped you out so badly you’ll never forget it. So good that you just have to tell other people so you can scare them too. Now, these 15 people are taking the opportunity to share all of the...

Scary stories are perfect for any time of year, to be honest, so even if you’re thinking they don’t quite go with the holidays, well…I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. If you love creeping yourself out, these people have got you covered, so grab some popcorn and enjoy! 17. Nope. Don’t like that....

Boobs are kind of one of those things that leaves people wanting what they don’t have. If you’re a woman with naturally small breasts, you might always envy those with naturally larger ones, and vice versa – though I think the majority of females in the world will agree that there is definitely a line...

Nearly every job where a person works with the public has horrifying moments happen, the ones where you realize you absolutely screwed up, and not only is the customer/client going to be mad, but they’re going to be totally justified in their anger, besides. That said, not every job is giving someone a haircut they’re...

People can do a pretty good job acting like they’re nice, normal, and good, but the truth is, there are plenty of people who are really good at faking it. If you’re watching closely, though, sometimes you can pick up on the little things – like these 14 specific acts – that can tell you...

We all have our litmus tests for figuring out whether the people in our lives are actually good people. Do they do charity work, are they good parents, loving children, the sort of neighbor who would feed your cats when you’re away? There aren’t reliable ways, though, right? Things that work for every person in...

Stereotypes are almost never helpful, and when it comes to the mental health of thousands of people, there’s really no good reason to keep them around. We’re doing better with destigmatizing mental illness and mental health treatment, but as these 14 stereotypes illustrate, we still have an awful long way to go. 14. Once Hollywood...

There’s been an effort in recent years to de-stigmatize mental illness in general, which is fantastic. We’ve come a long way in talking about depression and anxiety, and with normalizing talking therapy, but when it comes to some mental illnesses, the stereotypes are still going strong. That’s definitely the case with these 16 illnesses, and...

Meme lists can seem like they’re a dime a dozen, but honestly, there’s no better way to start, interrupt, procrastinate, or end your day, am I right? They’re just so relatable, so made to give us the giggles, and both of those are things we desperately need in these dark days. If you’re up for...

I don’t know if scientists say that chuckling is the best way to wake yourself up in the morning. But while it might not be better than a cup of coffee, it’s definitely more fun than meditating or exercising before the sun comes up, don’t you think? If you agree, sit down with that steaming...

As someone who is married to a man with ADHD, and was not prepared for what that would mean over the course of years, I can tell you that ADHD is absolutely more than just not being able to focus or sit still. There are so many people who live with atypical brains, who have...

Most of us don’t write longhand letters anymore. The only time we send something in the mail is when we’re issuing an annual Christmas card, or perhaps if we have occasion to send invitations or thank you notes after a big life event. That doesn’t mean we don’t communicate in writing, though. Emails often take...
