Most of us have some story from our childhood that totally freaked us out at the time. We were young, our imaginations were running wild, and honestly, we didn’t really understand most of what was going on in the world around us. Sometimes, though, the things we remember are real – and these 15 people...

Most people have memories of things that happened to them during their childhood that totally freaked them out. It’s natural, as children develop the ability to use their imaginations, for those to run a bit wild. That said, a majority of those memories will eventually be explained away or refuted by the adults in their...

One of the things I really love about Reddit is their ability to ask – and answer – totally random questions as if it were an everyday thing that could actually maybe happen. This one – if you could time travel into the past, but couldn’t bring any physical objects with you, how would you...

If you’ve been paying attention, then you know that this new generation of parents are trying their best to raise kids who have less (or no) harmful gender associations. That means boys can wear pink, girls can love Transformers, boys can hold tea parties and girls can host wrestling matches – and they can do...

There’s a fairly intense movement in America these days to do something re: policing and the shooting of unarmed Black citizens. The Black Lives Matter movement has been growing on the ground and seems to be reaching a fever pitch. What we don’t talk about much, though, are the Black men and women who wear...

It can often seem as if there’s order to the world, right? That the things that happen were always supposed to happen, that there’s some kind of pattern to it all, or someone in charge that at least thinks they know what’s going on. Other times, though, you stand back and look at something that’s...

This is the list, obviously, that could go on and on, my friends. There are way too many things in this world that make no sense, because I suppose the common variety is in short supply these days. Also, though, remember what Jeff Goldblum taught us about chaos theory, right? Below are 20 things, though,...

If there’s one movie franchise none of us could have seen coming, I think it might be Jurassic Park. I mean, it was a good movie and we definitely all loved it – the film has been embraced as a generational classic since it released, I think, but I mean…they definitely had to get creative. Because...

Now, I’m woman enough to examine the misogyny I’ve internalized myself and realize that yes, in my mind, I’ve been imagining cruise ship captains – and maybe all captains of sea-going vessels – as male. That said, of course it makes sense that women can and do take the helm of ships large and small,...

There is no end to the clever and hilarious trends people can come up with online. Jokes abound, and some of the best – and my favorite – kinds are the ones that play to one fandom or another. These riffs on people presenting their less-than-impressive superpowers to Professor X, and recording his imaginary –...

We’re all thinking a little bit more about germs and what we touch when we’re in public these days, and that goes double for indoor, confined spaces like airplanes. And while you’re probably not under any kind of illusion that commercial aircraft are super duper clean places, this flight attendant’s TikTok should probably still come...

I know there are probably more than a few things that show up online any given week that claim to “blow your mind,” but listen – you have to at least give this TikTok a try and let me know what you think. It showcases the latest in TikTok cooking trends – a delicate egg...

There are too many stories on Reddit, and elsewhere on the internet, in which people don’t stand up for their spouses when they should – and some when they do stand up for people whom they definitely should not. It’s refreshing, then, to read this tale about a man whose wife has a lovely voice, and who he...

If there’s one thing I wished I had learned earlier in life, it would have been to be happy and confident in who I am as a person – physical appearance and otherwise. It’s a hard lesson for most of us to learn, but it’s an important one, and life is so much better once...

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that if you’re traveling and want an alternative to burgers and fries, you’ve probably found yourself standing in line at a Subway. And even though an Irish court recently decided their bread is more sugar than, well, bread, it turns out people still find plenty to love....
