If you’re into thrills and amusement parks and generally scaring yourself until you want to puke, rollercoasters are probably high on your to-do list. If you’re looking for the scariest ones about in the United States, these 12 thrill rides are ready to offer up their finest fear-inducing options. 12.

It seems as if there’s a new social media challenge every couple of weeks, and those of us who want to do better and be more aware of how our presence in certain spaces takes up room for the people whose voices need to be heard have become reticent to join in. We need to...

There are memes for every occasion. Lists of every type (heaps of them!). But if you’re looking for some humor that gives you the giggles because the content is so painfully true, well, then you’re looking for a funny-because-it’s-true meme list. And let me tell y’all, it doesn’t get any truer or any funnier than...

We all have those things that don’t bother some people, but that frighten us to death. For me, it’s stinging insects and the remote possibility that I’m going to look up and see a murderer’s face pressed against an un-curtained window after dark. For other people it’s spiders, or parties, or whatever. If you’re curious...

There are a bunch of reasons we enjoy scrolling through memes – we need a laugh, we’re looking for other people who understand our lives and experiences, we just want to nod and say “yep” a lot – and one of them is that we’re searching for confirmation of the simple truths in our worlds....

Stating real facts in a funny way is one of the best kinds of humor, because it hits home with so many people. Memes connect large numbers of folks’ experiences already, so it makes sense that we would all love the ones that are so true it hurts. We think these 13 really hit that...

Human brains are weird things, and the truth is, we’ll probably never really understand how they work, or what makes us tick. Why do some people like black licorice? Why are some people left handed? Why is mental illness embedded in people’s genes? And yeah, why are some people irrationally scared of stuff that other...

For the casual observer of U.S. currency (who are becoming fewer as less of us use paper money on a regular basis), you might have taken note of the different symbols, the colors, the holograms, and of course the faces on the fronts. What you might not have noticed if your interests don’t extend beyond...

When we’re hearing about new and amazing things that cut down on our time in the kitchen, we can be easily swayed into making a purchase – sometimes before we even understand what it is exactly that we’re buying. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh408Xeh1OA/ Instant Pots are all the rage these days, but here’s the truth: it can be...

Left-handed people are endlessly fascinating to me. Why are there so few of them? Why are they so proud of something they randomly inherited? We may not be able to answer all of those questions today, but if you’re curious about why they’re called “southpaws,” we may have something for you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC0ysWRAZlG/ The term has...

Riddles are everywhere, and they can kind of seem to be a dime a dozen. So when you find some that are “famous” or well-known, that means they’ve endured – and there’s almost always a reason for that! If you want to try your hand at some riddles that have stood the test of time,...

If you’re like me, you get a bit of a pit in your stomach when you see a message come through from someone you don’t regularly interact with on Twitter (or any platform, really. They’re almost never great, but most are easily ignored with a simple eyeroll and hitting the block button. Some, though, like...

You never really know what to expect when you get a private message on Twitter from someone you don’t interact with on a regular basis, but chances are, it’s going to be some level of insulting or inappropriate. There’s a sliding scale, of course, and things can be funny and insulting and inappropriate – or in the...

I know the adage is “don’t read the comments,” and most of the time, I feel like this is the best course of action if you want to continue to have faith in humanity. That said, sometimes they’re not awful and worthy of being set on fire. Sometimes, in fact, they’re far better and more...

“Don’t read the comments” is a great rule. Most of the time they are a trash fire that will make you want to give up on people as a whole. Sometimes, though, they’re honestly better and more clever than the original post – or they’re something you wish you would have thought to say yourself....
