We all have biases that we bring to the table, and to the relationships and interactions in our lives. That said, did you know that some of them are just due to the fact that we all have very human brains? The first step to realizing that your mind might be trying to make decisions for you...

Until recently, most of us found ourselves facing this dilemma on a fairly regular basis: you go to the salon to get your hair cut, you like your stylist and all, but what do you really have to talk about for 20 minutes? Or, for women, sometimes upwards of an hour, depending on what you’re...

I know kids today love going to McDonald’s and Chick Fil A and all the rest, but hear me out – those places are nowhere near as awesome as the iterations we visited as kids. The outdoor playground at McDonald’s, full of metal stairs that could cut open a skull and bars that effectively imprisoned...

It can be hard to keep up with all of the great – and terrible – things that happen on Twitter every single hour of every day. Sure, you can keep up with the big stuff, but what about the rest of them? Some of them are must-reads, after all, and these 13 posts are...

It can be hard to decide which tweets are worth your time when you’re absentmindedly scrolling your timeline, and listen – no matter how hard you work to curate the best possible folks, you’re definitely going to miss some brilliance here or there. That’s where we – and this list of 12 fun tweets –...

I was an avid reader for my entire life. From the moment my mother bought me my first chapter book (The Babysitter’s Club) in the 3rd grade, I was hooked. That said, even I hated the majority of the books that were assigned in high school English. It didn’t turn me off reading, but as this...

For years there has been this perception that unpaid internships are a way to “pay your dues” and “get a leg up,” or even just boost your resume before applying to college or looking for a job post-graduation. Lately, though, people have become more and more vocal about the privilege a person has to have...

For many people, Daylight Savings Time is just one of those things. It’s a minor inconvenience, but with everything else going on in our lives, we just deal with it twice a year and move on. We adapt, we adjust, because that’s what human beings are good at. That said, other people are flat-out fed...

There are two types of people in the world – those who aim to be early everywhere they go, and those who are chronically late. The latter almost always annoy the former, but as one of those people who is usually running late, I swear it’s not because I don’t respect the people I’m meeting…though...

I write a lot of articles, y’all, but that’s definitely one of the best headlines I’ve ever had the privilege of typing. This tale begins with astronaut John Young. The 9th person to walk on the moon, Young enjoyed the longest career of any astronaut before – or after – him at NASA, flying 6...

One of the most fun thing about having kids is getting to share the things we love with them – and if you love solving riddles and brainteasers, chances are you’re always on the lookout for some you can solve with your young’uns. If that’s the case, we’ve got ’em – we think the six...

I think there are two types of people in the world – those who get slighted and shrug, moving on and figuring that they were better off, and those who get slighted and spend time devising sweet, sweet revenge. This gamer, who was unjustly killed in the game within in days of joining the first...

For some reason, people have this idea that all, or at least most, past humans were super prim, proper, and conservative. Though this isn’t true, so many people believe it’s true that authors, filmmakers, and artists of all sorts are basically unable to write the truth because what’s real would generally read as anachronous to the average...

Here’s something I didn’t know until today – there’s a whole category of booze known as “sunken scotch,” and it’s all been recovered from the cargo holds of wrecked ships. Pretty cool, you have to admit, and the prices these casks and flasks fetch at auction is no joke. The latest find, which was dredged...

WARNING: Hey all, fair warning… there’s discussion of racism and really, really disturbing racist terms. So proceed with caution. Okay, deep breath… If you’re like me, you’ve probably never thought too hard about why the ice cream truck rolling through your neighborhood plays that familiar, jaunty tune to call all the kids out into the...
