We know, in theory, that people use angles and lighting and filters and all sorts of other tricks to make themselves look extra good in the photo they post online. But I don’t think I understood just how much of a difference those things could make until I saw these side-by-side images posted by body-positive...

There are actually some things that make a person more attractive to the little buggers – and the good news is that some of them (like clothing and beverage choice) are under your control! Others (like your blood type, body type, and acid secretion) not so much. Not only are the bites itchy and annoying,...

I know, I know, that title, right? It’s a bold statement, but what the hell – some of these Tumblr posts live up to it, at least for me. Several of them did, in fact, make me stop and stare at nothing for a good 10-to-20 seconds while my mind adjusted to my new view...

Between 2009-2010, Paul Bartunek and David Seger produced and filmed a web series called Ikea Heights. They filmed the spoof soap opera inside a Burbank, CA IKEA…and they did it all without the store’s knowledge. I know. If you’re looking for a good laugh with a good story behind it, then you should check this...

Storytelling is an art. Decent comedic timing is worth its weight in gold. And if you can do it within the confines of a social media construct? Well, so much the better in this I-want-it-now era. These 12 Tumblr posts nailed it so hard. Do you agree? 12. Did anyone explain that your mom is...

We don’t expect to actually learn things from social media (with the exception of Twitter, perhaps. Or which of your Facebook friends are into pyramid schemes), but sometimes you learn something without really meaning to – and those sneak educations are some of the best things in the world. Here are 13 posts from Tumblr...

Okay, so I’ve known for a while that a good number of the people who attempt to climb Mount Everest never return. But knowing that fact and actually hearing the stories of how these people perished or seeing images of their frozen bodies still stiff where they fell in the snow are two different things....

We’ve shared posts before about the times when Americans confused Europeans (and they were pretty darn hilarious, I think). Now, we’re going to turn the tables with posts by Brits who had no idea they were going to blow people’s minds with how they go about their everyday lives. Have fun figuring these out, colonials!...

22-year-old Josh Avsec and 21-year-old Michelle Arendas go to college together, and they’ve also been chatting with each other (off and on – more on that later) for three years. But guess what? They’ve never met. When they were matched on the dating app Tinder back in 2014, Josh must have liked the looks of...

Ah, puns. They’re quite the contentious form of joking. Some people look for every possible opportunity to get a zinger in, and others are quick to (as you’ll see) tell even the punniest of individuals to get the hell off their lawn. You might love these, you might hate them, but whichever side of the...

Some things are funny in and of themselves, and other things are funny because they’re so true that they’re painful, and if we don’t laugh at them, we’ll have to sit down and cry. That’s how you’re probably going to feel about these 17 jokes if you have lady bits. 17. Real life 16. Tru...

If there’s one thing all parents can agree on, it’s that this gig can be downright hilarious. Or at the very least, we have to laugh about things so that we don’t end up running away screaming like our hair is on fire. Unless your hair is actually on fire, in which case, please don’t...

You’ve probably noticed that lately there’s been a resurgence of people who believe that the earth is flat. Or maybe that’s not true. Maybe they’ve always been around, but lately they’ve decided that saying it aloud isn’t so bad. Either, way, I’ve got some bad news for them – they’re still wrong. Super wrong. And...

People go to shelters to adopt dogs all the time. They pop into pet stores and come home with fish, hamsters, turtles, or any number of small animals to reside in smelly cages no one wants to clean. But if you have a cat, there’s at least a 50% chance that the cat adopted you,...

Who doesn’t love a good period joke? People without a good sense of humor, I guess. Or without a uterus. Or who don’t live in close proximity to a uterus. Basically not that many people. And these 15 posts about periods are gold, my friends. At least, in my opinion. Read on to see whether...
