If you could wave your magic wand and get all of human society to stop doing something immediately, what would it be? I feel like most of us could come up with a short list (or a long one) if you gave us five or ten minutes. These 15 people have some pretty reasonable suggestions...

We all have our pet peeves in this life, but some of them don’t always seem like they should be subjective. There are things that, if everyone stopped doing them right now, the whole world would be better off – so why aren’t more of us lobbying for that? These 14 people make some pretty...

I think this is an interesting question because lately, most of our talk is about how far humans have come in such a relatively short time. How much we’ve evolved, how quickly our society has advanced, and just generally how much things have changed in just a couple of generations. There are some things that...

Since the beginning of human civilization, obviously a lot has changed. We’ve evolved, we’ve invented things that have changed the course of history, we’ve waged wars that threatened to destroy it. Cultures have shifted and immigration has brought us together (and driven us apart). There’s no arguing that human life today looks nothing like it did...

I suppose there are people out there who think relationships are easy – or at least, that they’re easy more often than they’re not – but I personally don’t know any. Most of us know that romantic relationships are hard, and for some reason that goes double once a marriage license is signed. Want some...

I mean, I don’t know if marriage looks easy to anyone who has given it at least one go, but there are always those sweet summer children out there who think it’s going to be a blissfully simple and fulfilling way to live out their days. There’s no real way to disillusion someone who wants...

I don’t know about you, but almost everyone I know could really use a laugh. The whole world is down and out and exhausted in general, and while the internet is often good for more of the same bs, it is also occasionally the best place to be if you need a smile. So, without...

We all have days and weeks now and again when we can just use a smile – or maybe even a laugh. Lately it seems as if we have more of those weeks than not, and it can be tough to know where to find mirth and good-hearted jokes sometimes when everyone else seems so...

There are never enough Twitter accounts – or social media accounts in general – that share interesting facts about history, archaeology, and the like. At least, not if you ask me. And I must not be alone, because whenever an account pops up that shares great facts, it never takes long for them to amass...

If you, like me, are obsessed with all things history, then you know that the internet is an especially magical place. There are facts everywhere you look, and experts on just about every niche you can imagine are lurking right out in the open and happy to share their knowledge with whoever wants to listen....

When I think of food, I really don’t think of it being particularly scary. That said, I also never considered purposely making monstrosities out of perfectly edible food, either…but these people did. I’d like to put a warning here for everyone who is about to continue scrolling – because these 13 pictures might actually make...

I know that we often joke about wishing something would ruin our robust appetite for food, because a great meal or scrumptious dessert can be one of the hardest things to enjoy in moderation – even though we know that for our health, that’s exactly what we need to do. We don’t really mean it, though,...

We all want to have enough money to feel secure in life, and to have at least a little leftover to have some fun, buy our kids nice things, and take some vacations, right? Also, you probably realize by now that when it comes to ethics and morals, humans definitely have a sliding scale. So,...

Comedy is known for being subversive and delivering poignant (and funny) observations about tough and/or dark topics, but is there a line? It seems like there is, because we’ve seen certain comedians cross it – and while not being funny at all – but what is it? These 13 people are discussing what makes a...

Parenting is a rough gig, y’all, there’s no doubt about it. Some days it feels as if there’s no way to win, even though most of us are always trying to do the best by our kids. This woman had no ill intentions when trying to decide whether or not to let her younger child...
