I love memes. You love memes. Everyone loves memes. It has to be one of the greatest things to come out of the absurdity that is internet culture: strange puns taken of any kind of image and used to apply many captions and situations for our entertainment. Yes, we are living in the golden age of memes and even as we speak, professional memers are thinking up brand new ideas to [...]

History is not just something of the past. History has a way of connecting the past to the present and even the future in some cases. Even today, almost everyone has a connection of some sort to historic events and figures. A lot of us don't necessarily know what our grandparents, great-grandparents, and older ancestors were up to, but the people in this article know all too [...]

While plenty of doctors are incompetent, plenty do know what they're doing and have studied their [...]

Spud Comics is an enjoyable series of one-panel comics by artist Lonnie Easterling. With a fun and colorful style, bitingly witty punchlines, and pop culture references abounding, what's not to love? Despite the name, however, Easterling assures us these comics (usually) have nothing to do with potatoes; Spud was simply a nickname Lonnie got as a child from his grandfather, and [...]

We all know pregnancy cravings can be downright insane, but not one of these claims pregnancy as an excuse. These dishes are actual photos of meals that people were either served at a restaurant or made at home, and the chef in me is having a hard time getting over most of these concoctions.

Not every job is going to be a dream job. A person landing their dream job right at the beginning of their career rarely happens. However, the jobs we take to pay the bills can turn out to be learning opportunities and sometimes even enjoyable. Unfortunately, the jobs featured in this list are nothing like that. A recent Twitter thread prompted users to share the wildest [...]

I’ve always wondered what dads do for the nine months leading up to the birth of a child, and now I know. They go to comedy school when their wife isn’t looking. That’s the only explanation why so many dads have the perfect dad joke or quip for every situation. They also go to social media night school, which helps them become Twitter experts. Some dads fail out, but some, like [...]

We all know that things wear down over time from use, weather, and just plain age (much like us people!). While often, items that are worn down aren’t remarkable in any way, occasionally it’s quite interesting to see what the test of time has done to certain items and materials.

Ah, adulting. What an interesting, fun time it is when you become an adult and get to do all the things you wanted to when you were a kid.

From bad backs to bills and to always being tired, these people took to Twitter to share their [...]

We’ve all been there. Well, most of us have anyway. Cooking is hard, and so many things can go wrong. It’s like one giant trope of Murphy’s Law. Forgetting a timer, spilling the food, or even just imagining it one way and not having the skills to back it up. Cooking fails are par for the course, and these people learned that lesson the hard way. Thankfully, only a few resulted [...]
