Uncles sometimes get a bad rap, with the whole creepy caricature that’s been done and done again. But anyone who has awesome uncles in their life knows that not only are they usually cooler and way more fun than your dad (at least while you’re still living at home), they’re also pretty darn funny. Like...

One of the best reasons to travel (aside from the food or maybe chasing nice weather around the globe) is so you can learn about and immerse yourself in other cultures. If that appeals to you, or if you love new and weird experiences, you’re going to want to check out at least a few...

I mean, I could have come up with 50 of them, but I think that would be a bit much, right? Instead, here are 10 pictures that commemorate the very first time something was done, made, or presented to the world. In not quite so dramatic a fashion, but still. #10. The world’s first selfie....

General Robert E. Lee is more famous for his life than his death, though the latter is arguably more interesting (unless you’re a military buff, I guess). Lee had been in poor health since the end of the Civil War and described feeling unwell to his wife in letters. Doctors at the time had fewer...

You may have noticed that superheroes are all the rage these days. They’re big money at the box office, for sure, but what if someone offered to give you crazy powers in real life? I mean, reading minds or flying would be pretty cool things to be able to do, but you might feel differently...

People say blondes have more fun. As a brunette, I can’t say for sure whether or not that’s true, but I can promise that if you have brown hair, you’re going to find these 12 pictures relatable af. #9. The struggle is so real. #8. Your face or your hair. Choose. #7. You just can’t...

People think that photobombing is some kind of modern art form, but these animals are kind of great at it, soooooo maybe it’s not as evolved as we think. Or maybe animals are just that awesome. #13. Were you looking for me, maybe? #12. I object! #11. The seal looks so stinking pleased. #10. I...

Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk is many things to many people, but one thing you might not know is that he’s a voracious reader. Books and comics helped him survive a tough South African childhood (he even read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica at the age of nine!), and he read sci-fi novels for up to...

We can all use a little randomness sometimes, and in these trying times most of us aren’t going to turn our backs on a little humor, either. To that end, take a scroll through these 9 genuinely funny tweets. #9. *nods* This is true. #8. If you say so. #7. Right?! #6. Anyone who has...

Those are the gaps that nonprofit Action Hunger was looking to fill when they...
