It’s a fact of life that inflation exists and items become more expensive over time. Most of the time, the quality stays the same – or even improves – which makes paying a bit more bearable (even if it still hurts). When an item declines in quality but increases in price, inflation can be a...

Everything increases in price, right? I remember being stunned when I first learned that my grandmother could go to lunch, a movie, and get ice cream with a single quarter! We expect to have to pay more for those things, now, but we don’t expect to pay more for products that aren’t as good as...

Some folks are good at math. That’s what I hear, anyway, though the concept is foreign to me (and honestly makes me a bit jealous!). If that’s you, and you like to keep your skills sharp, give these 7 math riddles a go! 7. People on a train. 6. That’s a lot of clocks. 5....

No one is going to the movies (and honestly, who knows if we ever will again, though the thought makes me want to cry), but that doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to bad, bagged popcorn for the rest of your life. Of course, we all know we can make popcorn at home, in...

If you live in a part of the world where fireflies (or lightning bugs) are a thing, you likely look forward to their arrival every summer. You can’t wait to share the fun of seeing them and catching them with your kids, and no matter how old you get, their appearance delights you. There’s some...

When you’re a kid, you don’t really know what you’re supposed to be afraid of until you see it, or read it – and then you can’t forget it. Me? I read way too many Dean Koontz novels in high school and still have to pull my curtains the moment it gets dark outside! For...

Most of the time, you know what you’re getting into – pretty much – when you decide to see a film. Between the internet, television, (digital) newspapers, and your friends on social media, it’s hard to really be surprised. These 14 movies, though, took turns so traumatizing that some of us who saw them as...

We’re all (mostly) proud to be from the countries we call home, but listen – even the best things in life can be improved, right? Except for donuts. Those are pretty great the way they are. But everything else – including these 14 practices that some countries sure do seem to get right – should...

I know that the grass is always greener, and most of us are proud to be from the country we call home, but listen – everyone can improve, right? The easiest way to do that is to look around, see what’s working other places, and bring it home, right? These 16 people have some amazing...

If there’s one thing I know is true, it’s that anyone who works in a profession where a review site exists will check those reviews, even though they absolutely know they shouldn’t. This is completely true of almost everyone, but for these 13 professors, well…at least they were able to laugh about it. 13. How...

In some professions, reviews and ratings have always been a part of the job – like it or not, if you provide a service or a creative product, people will tell you what they think about what you’ve done. There are other professions that haven’t been subjected to that sort of regular feedback until the...

Meeting new people is hard for many of us. We don’t feel comfortable in all social situations, we’re nervous, we deal with anxiety or maybe even some level of autism that makes it hard for us to read other people. Introducing ourselves to new people, though, is something we’ll have to do many times over...

There’s a lot of terrifying stuff going on in Arizona these days (and honestly, in the whole of the world, because it’s been a year, y’all), but I’m not sure any of the residents there expected to walk out their front doors to find black sludge that looks like it came out of a horror film...
