We’ve all been around someone who becomes the smartest person in the room when they’re drunk. What the world be like if there weren’t people who get sauced and pontificate? Many of us have probably assumed for years that was just a part of the whole drinking experience, and that one of the side effects […] More
A lot of families have inside jokes during the holidays. My family has a pair of Garfield boxer shorts that someone in our family gets as a “gift” each year ever since I was in elementary school. This year, I had the pleasure of unwrapping it, to the great enjoyment of my kids who were in […] More
Not everyone who uses the Internet to go onto social media platforms argues. It just feels that way, and if you’ve seen enough Internet arguments, you know that most people kinda/sorta suck at it. Or at the very least most of us — myself most definitely included — could use a little (or a lot) […] More
Things are quite heady these days on a lot of fronts. Our country seems polarized politically, economically, and socially like never before, and now the Internet may have given us the most explosive, potentially divisive issue to date. Did Grover the Muppet say “fuck” on “Sesame Street?” Yes, that’s right, in a world where refugee […] More
Given what (and who) Bob Mueller is investigating, when HuffPo reported that a court filing may have revealed the investigation somehow obtained a “nude selfie,” it’s odd that the entire Internet wasn’t flooded with vomit. Predictably, though, Twitter is all abuzz about it. In a court filing Thursday, a Russian company indicted early this year referred to a “nude […] More
In a video, Donald Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is currently our country’s highest-ranking diplomat, says that he believes that the rapture is real and is coming. In the video he says: “We will continue to fight these battles, it is a never ending struggle… until the Rapture.” This timeline just keeps getting […] More
A study found that people who own cats may be more likely to enjoy bondage and BDSM than those who don’t own cats. Me-owwwww. Researchers in Slovakia and Czech Republic surveyed over 36,500 people and found that many people who owned cats “are more often aroused by their own fear, danger, and sexual submission”. Their […] More
You may think that humans have found every animal there is to find. Other than the monsters at the depths of the ocean, what animal could possibly be elusive enough to evade human reach? How can we still be finding out new and exciting things about the animal kingdom? You may be surprised to know […] More
When one goes out to eat, there is hardly ever a chance for “sticker shock.” Being surprised by what you’re going to see on your bill at a restaurant is all but impossible because menus are almost always provided, and each menu will usually give you an itemized breakdown for what you can expect to […] More
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. Vaccines work, vaccines are safe, and vaccines do not cause autism. Study after study has shown this to be the case. But ever since Andrew Wakefield published his fraudulent study, anti-vaxxers have perpetuated his narrative that the MMR vaccine causes autism. The sole reason […] More
In the information age of today, it’s not uncommon for us to encounter something online that we disagree with. Often, we find things that make us uncomfortable or seem to attack a core value we hold closely to our hearts. Take spanking children as a form of discipline, for instance. Anytime you post studies about […] More
In the coming weeks and months, an international argument over whale hunting may heat back up. According to The New York Times, Japan’s government has signaled that it will officially withdraw itself from an international coalition, effectively resuming the practice of commercial whaling. Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, said the country would leave the International Whaling Commission, […] More
