All of the time I’ve been reading revenge stories on Reddit, and I’m still surprised that more employers haven’t realized how much nicer and simpler and more profitable their lives would be if they just even pretended to give a crap about their employees. This tow truck driver, for instance, would probably not have had time...

Every place you visit is at least a little bit different from you own – even if you’re from the States, and have only traveled to different regions, you know this is true. People who aren’t from America have always had questions for Americans about different social norms – many of which are based on...

There’s no arguing that cultures around the world don’t differ on things big and small.

You can find pretty much any sort of tweet, if you’re looking for it. If you’re in the mood to get angry, Twitter’s got you. If you’re looking for dark humor, there’s plenty of that, and if you want to talk about The Great British Baking Show, well…I think you know people are willing. If what you’re...

If you spent any time gaming online at all, you won’t be surprised that we’re about to hear a story about harassment in one of those spaces. If you’re a woman, you also won’t be surprised to learn that OP (original poster), started to feel guilty for setting very necessary boundaries with a stranger who...

The only two things in life that are for sure are death and taxes. That’s the saying, and whoo boy, if this lucky duck of an Arkansas man didn’t find out the hard way how right that is. One of the things in life that’s definitely not guaranteed is finding a nine-carat diamond. That’s exactly...

Listen, I get that middle school is the worst, most awkward part of growing up, but now that we’re past it, can’t we all look back and cringe together? If you’re a young Millennial or older Gen Z person, these 14 images are going to put you squarely back in those days, for better or...

There’s a special set of people who were born straddling the line between Generation Z and the Millennial generation – you grew up in the 90s and early aughts, and you’re proud of it. If you fall squarely into that group, these 17 images are going to take you right back! 17. You’ve figured out...

There’s no better use of the internet than Jimmy Fallon and his hashtag game – people love it, Jimmy loves it, and the non-Twittering viewers at home enjoy their glimpses into the hellscape of the social media site. Recently, he asked people for their stories about getting busted, and these 13 people had some pretty...

Jimmy Fallon’s hashtag game is one of the delights of the internet, especially during these trying times. We love to play along, to make each other laugh, and maybe to get five minutes of fame on television in the process. Here are 12 pretty hilarious replies to the hashtag #HowIGotBusted. 12. As a writer, I...

Plot twists make the world of entertainment go ’round. Whether you’re writing or reading or watching something on television, the thing that makes you stop, gasp, and go what is invariably the best part of any experience. So, without further ado, here are some of Twitter’s favorite plot twists. 16. I saw that coming. I still laughed,...
