When I first saw this question I thought, “how can there be this many answers out there,” which I guess means I’m an optimist or something, I don’t know. But somehow, these 17 people (and many, many more) all came up with submissions for the most unethical profession around, so read through them and see if...

Therapy and asking for mental health resources are both becoming more normal and even celebrated in society. That said, we still have a long way to go when it comes to making them accessible to everyone, and also to dispelling the stigma across the board. You’re lucky though, clicking this link – we’ve got 15...

Therapy used to be something that no one talked about – if they even went in the first place. Too many people suffered in silence, whether because they worried they would be judged, they couldn’t afford a therapist, or both. Nowadays the stigma is easing somewhat, but the money thing is still a barrier for...

I’m a firm believer in therapy, and I even think that almost everyone could use a trained ear to give feedback on our lives and our issues now and again. Not all of us go to therapy – we don’t feel like we need it, someone else in our lives is preventing it, or maybe...

Now that we have this neat little thing called the internet, which has given us another neat little thing called a global society, we no longer have to pay for things like therapy in order to access at least some of the fruits of that process. For instance, this Twitter thread is full of people...

If you want a movie with a great twist, you’ll likely have a bit of trouble finding exactly what you’re looking for on the first try. Either the twist is lackluster, or you see if coming a mile away, right? That’s what makes movies that get it right so great, though, don’t you think? These...

Some people have a strong stomach for smells and the like, while others (like my husband) find themselves dry heaving over every single poopy diaper they run across. No matter which type you are, though, there are bound to be some smells that get to you – and these 17 people don’t have to try...

It can take way too long for people to mature enough to realize their own self worth. Most of us have so many insecurities while growing up, and they can linger into young adulthood far longer than we would like. If we’re lucky, we learn how to value ourselves before any lasting and permanent damage...

If you’d asked me before I read through this list of answers, I would have guessed that most of the memories boys (and men) have from their days using locker rooms aren’t exactly great. Who likes being naked with a bunch of friends, especially during those awkward high school years? These 16 guys have more...

Relationships are tricky, whether they’re within the family, new additions, people at work, or ones that involve romance. We can wonder after pretty much every choice whether or not we made the right ones, and luckily these days, we have the internet to turn to for judgment. This girl lives near her brother, who recently...

If you’ve spent any time at all around kids, you know there’s no way to tell exactly what is going to come out of their mouths when. It’s part of their charm, and it keeps you on your toes. Teachers know this better than most, so I have to believe their poker faces are also...

There’s that old saying “there’s no such thing as a stupid question,” but I think we all know at this point that’s not true. There are definitely dumb questions, but that doesn’t stop people from asking them. The worst ones, as least as far as I can tell, are the dumb questions that are posed...

I’m not saying that everything we learn in school is total hogwash, but I am saying that there are some topics that are pretty universally covered that don’t seem to be especially useful down the road. Wondering what I mean? These 13 people have a pretty solid lead on what subjects could be dropped from...

If there’s one thing that drives people nuts, it’s a bunch of other people – or like, basically everyone – believing something about their field that’s just not true. Who even knows how these myths begin, honestly, but before you know it literally everyone in the world is making short jokes about Napoleon. Who was...

Listen, if there’s one thing that many of us have realized we can’t live without these past couple of years, it’s travel. Whether you’re going to visit family or are jetting off somewhere new, there’s just something fresh and exciting about going out of town every single time. If you’ve traveled enough, though, you’ve probably...
