Most of us are relying on delivery drivers more than ever. They’re bringing our food, our groceries, our Target orders, Amazon shows up a couple of times every day…. We know (I hope) that we should be tipping these people, who are working hard to make sure our lives remain fairly normal, in some cases...

Did you know there are color codes on your boxes of toothpaste, or are you like me, and have been clueless your entire life? One of the things I love about the internet is getting to learn new, obscure facts on an almost daily basis – and sometimes they’re even things that will affect my...

The cruise industry has fallen on tough times, and the current situation is making us question whether or not we want to support it going forward (though I’m sure there are enough die-hard cruise enthusiasts to bring it back). If you’re one of those cruise-lovers, or even just an innocent bystander without a strong opinion,...

“That’s a pickle!” “You’re really in a pickle!” English has some strange idioms, doesn’t it? I mean, all languages do, but this one – about someone in a tough spot being “in a pickle” is really hard to pin down. The saying is pretty old, actually, with the earliest known reference coming in 1562. “Man...

By now, you’ve probably realized that the tendency to wear shoes in the house – or not – is largely a cultural thing. Cultures where wearing shoes in the house is taboo cannot understand why Western countries insist on tracking filthy germ boots onto the carpet, and honestly…we don’t have much of a response. Except,...

Most of us are pretty practiced at letting the little stuff go. It’s inconsequential, or it was a long time ago, or we’ve just realized it isn’t important enough to hold onto. That said, there are some moments in our lives that leave such a deep mark that we can’t help but continue to be...

There are times when you need to know something for reasons, and sometimes the knowing is enough – but also, being able to kick your friends and family’s butts at Trivial Pursuit has never felt bad, has it? If the question on the table is “what’s the world’s smallest ocean,” and you find yourself hesitating, don’t...

As much as we enjoy rolling our eyes and calling out trolls, we also really enjoy being trolls on occasion. When you know what someone is going to say, or how they’re going to react, sometimes it’s just too hard not to get out in front of the BS. Which is exactly, I imagine, how these 15...

Everyone knows that holding onto insults and rage and generally letting grievances fester for too long is not the path to happiness (or living without antacids). That said, there are just some things you can’t let go of, no matter how much time passes. Things like these 17, which honestly, I’m kind of mad about...

There’s a lot of great content on Twitter, and there’s also a lot of content you could spend hours scrolling through in order to get to the good stuff. We’re doing the heavy lifting for you, sifting through the dirt and mining the gems like these 16, which we don’t think you’ll want to miss....

In case you’re wondering, trying to unearth facts from the bowels of your memories of high school history class, the American Confederacy lasted a total of around 5 years, and ended in flaming, disastrous defeat. There are, in fact, many things that have lasted longer than 5 years, and these 12 people stand ready and...

Who doesn’t love a viral thread? No one! That goes double for ones that are kicked off by a truly thoughtful – and hilarious – question, like asking people to name things that have lasted longer than the American Confederacy. Name a thing that lasted longer than the Confederacy. pic.twitter.com/EHELSs3vI4 — Cooper (@Cooperstreaming) June 13,...

If there’s one thing most of us have in common, it’s that we’ve had to work for our money for most of our lives. My first job was at 16 years old, and I figure maybe sixty years later, I might be able to quit (if I want to). The other thing we all know...

Sports fans love stats. They love them, but here’s the thing: what one person finds interesting and obscure and mind-blowing, someone else will shrug off as whatever. No matter what sport is your favorite, though, there’s no arguing that these 17 stats are completely insane. 17. A long and storied career. There might never be another that...

Even as a sports fan, I sometimes check out when someone starts spouting stats. What’s interesting to one fan might not be so to another, and vice versa, right? What's your favorite random sports stat that blows your mind every time you see it? — Peter Burns (@PeterBurnsESPN) July 1, 2020 While that’s true, I...
