Unless you live under a rock – or on a homestead in the mountains like your father before you – you’re probably aware that Chick-Fil-A presents a rather, well, complicated moral question as far as fast food chicken goes. They restaurant is family-owned company, and the family in question is vocally unapologetic in their anti-LGBTQ...

My son was about 11 months old the first time he encountered Santa Claus, and he wailed like a banshee from the moment he set eyes on the jolly, red-suited man with the (real!) white bushy beard until we were safely away with our classic first Santa pic tucked in my purse. Honestly, I’m not expecting...

If you love a good riddle in the morning (or any time of day), then give these 6 a try – they’re harder than they first appear! #6. A classic. Continue reading when you want to check your answer!

I love me a good banana. And by “good,” I mean those elusive 2.5 days between when you buy a banana green and when they cross the threshold into “too mushy” (to be determined by the individual, of course). But, in general, I am not a fan of fruit on pizza, and bananas? Just…no. I...

Don’t worry – there are still plenty of shopping days until Christmas. But if you are eager to get into the spirit ASAP, Netflix wants to help. If Christmas movies really do it for you, there is a secret workaround that allows you to find a truckload of Christmas films ready for streaming. While they’re not...

With the recreational use of cannabis becoming legal in more and more places, including some U.S. states, plenty of people out there might be giving it a first try. So it’s not surprising that scientific studies on how it impacts our health and wellness are ramping up too. And they’re already yielding some interesting results...

Sometimes, people have been around for so long you forget they’re still with us, and when you realize they still are, it’s a pleasant surprise. There are loads of people out there who are way past their heyday, who still manage to keep on trucking along. I mean, Keith Richards?! How? It turns out that...

Kids say and do the darndest things – in fact, waiting to hear what’s going to come out of their mouths next is one of the best things about parenting. But sometimes those darndest things must be punished, no matter how funny and/or awesome they are. Doling out punishments is one of the hardest things...

In Ireland, a 17-year-old girl accused a 27-year-old man of raping her. In the course of the trial, to prove that she actually “wanted it” and that the act was consensual as he claimed, the defense paraded her lace-front thong around the courtroom. As evidence. Really. He was acquitted, even though a witness testified he...

I waited tables for the better part of a decade, and, for me, anyone ordering an expensive steak cooked more than medium deserved a secret eyeroll – especially when they then proceeded to ask for steak sauce because their meal was “a little dry.” When you take a nice piece of meat and ask the...

If puns are your thing, these jokes probably aren’t for you – but if you like all things literal, then these 15 funnies will be right up your alley. #15. Isn’t it? #14. I’m going to give this a try. #13. All smartasses welcome. #12. First and last day. #11. Um, duh? #10. I lol’d....

There are plenty of stories out there about people’s pets saving their lives, but that kind of makes sense. We have relationships with our pets, after all, and one would assume that they care about our well-being similarly to how we do about theirs (or maybe that’s just anthropomorphizing?). Not to mention that animals like...

We all get stuck in a rut sometimes, or simply stay within our own little circles in our own little worlds. But thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever to get tips and advice from strangers who’ve tried different things, and can therefore offer some pretty savvy advice when we’re looking for a change....

Stereotypes aren’t always appropriate, but it’s also important to know when and how to laugh at yourself, right? These 15 Canadians are 100% sure the moments below stopped them in their tracks, and made them laugh and think, “Damn, I am such a Canadian right now.” #15. Sorry for the mess “Got tooth knocked out...

Recently we’ve lost a number of high profile human beings to depression, and there are millions of anonymous people who battle the illness every day – with so much public exposure to what used to be a private issue, many in our society have educated themselves. They are aware that it is no more of...
