There’s a pretty broad spectrum of beliefs when it comes to drinking alcohol. Some people occasionally imbibe, others grab a drink at the end of every hard day, and still others have never touched a drop in their lives. Still others have health or lifestyle concerns that keep them from drinking, even if they would...

When people agree to get married, I think most of the time they trust that the other person – the person who claims to want to love them forever – hasn’t kept any major skeletons in the closet. Now, there are obviously a lot of people who don’t enter into marriage with the best of...

Having good neighbors is like finding a unicorn in your front yard, and here’s the thing – unless you actually know the people you’re going to be living among before you move, there’s no way to know what you’re going to get. Not only that, but if you stay somewhere awhile, there’s a good chance...

Is there anything more frustrating than having to throw out your perfectly good Tupperware because – even though you know it’s clean – it has those nasty spaghetti sauce stains on it? Personally, I’ve switched to Pyrex dishes, and that was one of the big reasons behind the move. Who wants to take your delicious leftovers and...

When I say “it all,” you know what I mean, right? The whole…*gestures wildly* all of this we are hearing and watching and reading and experiencing on a daily basis, it’s a lot, y’all. We all need ways to decompress and unwind and, you know, just laugh at something silly. These 17 memes are where the latter...

We spent our lives plugged in, connected, and do our best to constantly stay abreast of what’s happening in the world – too much so, probably. So, it makes sense that there are some days when you just want to sit back and be entertained. I mean, that’s how Netflix became such a thing, obviously....

Most people want to make sure there are no surprises after saying ‘I do,’ because honestly, both parties are supposed to be invested in each other’s happiness. Apparently that’s not always the case, as is proven by these 16 people, who kept major secrets until it was too late to turn back. 16. Sell that woman to...

Marriage might be something most people aspire to, but I hope that most of us think we’ll find someone who loves and respects us enough to be honest. That said, I guess it can be hard to tell sometimes – it sounds like these 15 people’s partners were pretty good at keeping secrets, and pretty...

If you’re someone who is shy or worried or paranoid about tying your oxen to another person’s yoke, so to speak, well, this might not be the thread for you. Because some of these people found out the love of their life had been keeping a pretty huge secret – one that should have definitely...

If you’re like me, you may never have spent all that much time considering the reason the desirable appliances in your kitchen are called “stainless” steel. I mean, it’s certainly not because they resist handprints, smudges, or smears from the dog’s snout, right? But here we are, about to find out together why it was...

Here we are, answering the most pressing, most important questions in this life. Like, for instance, when you tell someone you have a “buttload” of something, how do you know whether or not you’re being entirely accurate? Maybe you don’t have a buttload at all. Maybe you have a f*ck ton, or a sh%t ton,...

Building a gingerbread house with your kids at the holidays is part of many a family tradition – and that even considering that gingerbread isn’t that great to start with, and after it sits out for a few weeks (covered in gumdrops, for cripe’s sake), it’s all but inedible. Now, imagine if you will, a...

If you’ve ever owned a dog, you know one thing for sure – they love a good belly rub. They don’t have to be in the mood or anything, because they’re always in the mood for any affection you’re willing to give them, and the belly rub is basically the holy grail. If you’ve ever...

Halloween is a favorite for many people, and for lots of different reasons. Kids love the costumes and the candy, and adults love the fact that the hot summer weather has receded to make room for cooler fall nights and sweata weatha. Parents, though, have some worries when it comes to the holiday – whether...

The cool thing about science, and archaeology in particular, is that just when we think we know everything about our human (and human-ish) ancestors, we uncover something new. Kind of like a never ending Easter egg hunt, and who doesn’t love that? For a long time, we’ve sort of defined human evolution by our ability...
