No one who has been a part of the dating pool thinks that the process is easy – or if even enjoyable most of the time. That said, we forge ahead. Why? It’s probably different for everyone, but I would guess the bottom line for most of us is that we don’t want to go...

If you’re someone who enjoys deep dives into places on the internet like Reddit, then you probably know that there are fan theories for just about every movie, television show, book, and mashup opportunity out there. Even though Star Wars takes place in a galaxy far, far away and Indiana Jones is set in the 1930s (and...

There’s no accounting for taste, and also, what’s weird to one person might be normal or even favorable to someone else – but when it comes to certain smells, most of us can agree that we’d rather avoid them if we can. But hey, to each their own, and as long as you’re not hurting...

There are lessons to be learned from every experience in life. You have to be open to learning them, of course, and hopefully not repeating the ones that turn out to be huge mistakes. These 15 people definitely learned some interesting things living with others – some that will last a lifetime and others that...

There are all kinds of facts in this world, and here at this website, we’ve read and shared more than our fair share of them. There are certain facts that work best on certain days, though, and sometimes what we need most is a little comfort. When the world gets a little crazy, here are...

As a parent, I feel like I hear a lot about “sensory kids” and “sensory issues,” especially when it comes to eating and foods. That said, it seems to be a very human thing to gravitate toward certain tastes and smells, textures and so on. It makes sense, then, that a majority of folks would...

There are some things in this world that get a lot of hate but no one can really figure out why…and then there are things that everyone despises and only people we definitely don’t trust would ever defend them. These 16 people say these things fall into the latter category, so take a look and...

I know that dry cleaners can get a bad rap – the services are expensive, no one likes having to drive their clothes somewhere else to clean them, and if we’re honest, they seem to ruin clothes on a pretty regular basis. That said, they do know a thing or two about cleaning – and...

Even though things continue to change and evolve in society, one of the traditions that feels pretty intact is the one where a woman takes her husband’s last name upon marriage. Not everyone does it but many peopled do, and once kids enter the equation the choice can become even more complicated – at least...

If you’re curious about random facts that surround the animal world – or maybe you’re deciding how big of a dog you’d like to get – then you might wonder if animals that presumably have bigger bladders take longer to relieve themselves. In 2014, scientists from Georgia Tech decided they needed to know exactly which...

For word nerds, there’s nothing more interesting that etymology – especially when it’s for a turn of phrase that everyone uses without thinking too much about. I would say that “turn the tables” falls into that category. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, if you say it, most people know that you mean to “reverse...

It’s wild to think about how the human brain works sometimes. Once we hear something enough times, from enough sources or people we trust, we believe that it’s true – and then it’s super hard to convince us later that it’s not. If you think that phenomenon is wild, too, then there’s a good chance...

With almost everything in life, there are two sides. People who like it, people who don’t, and those who don’t really have an opinion – and in those situations, most of us can agree to disagree and mind our own business. Other times, though, there’s more at stake – or one side doesn’t have any...

It’s no secret that dealing with in-laws can be rough. Family dynamics can be hard to navigate even if it’s your family, so when you’re coming in late to the party it can feel like an insurmountable task. This woman is dealing with a mother-in-law who has always been more than a little bit nosy –...

We’ve talked way more about public restrooms and who can and should use which ones over the past couple of years, if you ask me. Everyone just wants to do their business and go about their days, right? One of the frustrating aspects of parenting for men is that when they’re out alone with their...
