As someone with a peanut allergy, I can attest to the fact that epi-pens are stupid expensive – and they’re also super necessary. They’re also stupid expensive for the fact that they expire after three years and you’ll hopefully never need to use it, but that’s a topic for another day. This day, we’re discussing...

Most of us have had that experience, one where we’re walking along, minding our own business, when we come across something that stops us in our tracks. We take a minute, blink, make sure we’re really seeing what we think we’re seeing, then try to decide what, if anything, to do next. These 10 people...

Sometimes there aren’t enough or the right words to really describe someone or something, and when it comes to animals and their inherent good and lightness in this world, this happens more often than not. These 10 animals are no exception to the very good boi and gooder girl rules, and deserve all of the...

When we go to the movies, the last thing we want is to come out totally confused. Ok, maybe that’s not the worst thing that could leave a bad taste in your mouth, but I feel like it’s totally up there. We pay our money, the very least we expect is to be able to follow...

Unless you believe in psychics, you likely don’t put much stock in predictions about the future. That said, it can be fun to imagine what might be coming down the pike. Then again, nothing about the past couple of years has been fun at all, so we want to be careful when challenging the year...

Of course there’s no way to ever really know what’s coming down the road, either in our personal lives or for humanity as a whole, but I think trying to predict it can give us a sense of control. Or at least, it did before 2020, and then 2021, scarred us all for life. Seriously....

Y’all, I can hardly believe that another year is coming to a close. I swear that when we’ve been in the thick of the past couple of years it has seemed like they’re never going to end, but they have. The bad part has been that the years coming next haven’t been much better than...

There are some posts in Reddit’s Am I the A$$hold forum that really make you think – there are two sides to every story, after all, and we’re only getting one of them. Then there are posts like this one, that are so cut and dried it’s hard to believe that anyone could have claimed...

As someone who grew up with a sibling who had multiple special needs – needs that have only grown as she’s become an adult – I can attest to the fact that it definitely complicates not only your life, but your entire relationship with your family. This OP has spent a large part of her...

Birth control is one of the most personal decisions that a person makes in their life. We weigh the options, we work with our doctors to find out what works for us, and we definitely decide with ourselves and a partner when and if we’re going to stop taking it. This person’s mother, though, thought...

We all know that statistics can be manipulated and applied in different ways and should always be taken with a grain of salt, right? Now that we’ve got that out of the way, can we also talk about how they can be super fun? You’ll definitely have no choice but to agree after you check...

When you step over the threshold of a stranger’s house, you really never know what you’re walking into. Heck, even if you’re visiting the house of someone you think you know there are bound to be secrets – we all have them. These 14 people weren’t prepared for actual horrors, though – but in many...

There are a good amount of jobs in this world that let you peer behind the doors of other people’s houses, and honestly, I feel like this should be described as one of the perks. Seriously, y’all, I don’t know one single person who isn’t at least sort of nosy when it comes right down...

There are so many double standards in the world that it can be hard to keep track. Like most small(ish) annoyances in life, though, most of us manage to go about our days without getting too worked up. That said, I think we all have the ones that are like a pebble in our shoe,...

Look, I know that discussions around privilege, what that really means, and what counts can be completely fraught these days – but that doesn’t mean we should stop having them, right? It’s important to to our due diligence in understanding this concept and how it applies to us and our lives, so if you’re curious...
