The agony of being the third wheel is a well-documented one. I actually consider myself to be a professional third wheel. A professional tricycle modification, if you will. If I want to hang out, I'm going to hang out - relationships be damned. Not everyone has such an agreeable position regarding hanging out with people who are involved. And I get it. There's the PDA, the inside jokes, the baby talk. It can all get pretty unnerving. But trust me when I say that it could be much, much worse. Tw…

Have you ever thought about living on a bus for fun? There are people who appear to do it, with countless nomadic influencers and TikTokers making waves online. There is something inherently appealing about being able to travel without the weight of incompetent landlords or mortgages. However, there are some downsides when this glamourized lifestyle goes wrong.

We are all well aware by now that kids really do say the darndest things. But they also draw the darndest things. While the internet is full of proud parents sharing their kids' hilarious mistakes (often in the form of parenting tweets ), there's something about seeing these funny fails in art form. The blunders just hit different. Recently, Twitter user @strawbyoghurt shared one such masterpiece - a mixed media (crayon and magic marker) piece depicting Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants in fr…

In a famous story from Douglas Adams' book So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish , the protagonist Arthur recounts a time he sat down at a table to enjoy a coffee, newspaper, and packet of biscuits he'd recently purchased at a shop. To his horror, a man sitting across from him grabbed the packet of biscuits, tore it open, and started eating them. Instead of saying anything, Arthur passive-aggressively reached into the packet and took what was rightfully his, hoping the man would get the message.…

It's nice to participate in the simple pleasures in life once and a while. Sure, these things might not be expensive or high class or highly memorable, but they add a little extra something to your day to make it stand out. So often, our days feel like they're running together, one day looking practically identical to the rest. When you're living for the weekend, making the week feel like it counts as a part of your actual life can be challenging. Incorporating little unique things into each da…

It's no secret that a lot of couples look like siblings. A considerable portion of the population is attracted to people who look suspiciously similar to themselves. The popular Instagram account Siblings or Dating is dedicated to speculating on this question, posting pictures of two people who look alike, polling their followers on whether they think they're siblings or dating, and revealing the answer. This speculative game is all in good fun, until it gets way too real.

It's not much, but it's what we have.

We see it in private DMs. We see it in comment sections. We see it on dating profiles. Softbois , “ nice guys ,” and straight up dirtbags who are pathetically down bad. It seems like some dudes are so depressingly horny, that they become possessed by some sort of cringe demon. How else do you explain the mortifying word garbage these softbois are capable of assaulting other human beings with? We've got a bunch of painful examples of what we're talking about from the best archivist of softboi cr…

True crime has been among the most popular podcast genres over the past decade. Unlike shows like ‘Law & Order SUV,' which depicts police attempting to solve fictional crimes, true crime media is focused on crimes that actually happened.

However, true crime has not been without criticism, with detractors calling it cav…

There are many unjust reasons why someone might get fired these days. You can get fired for drinking a tea before you pay for it. You could get fired because a Karen demands it . You can even get fired for simply doing what your company asks of you. However, being sick is one of the cruelest reasons for being terminated without pay.

Sparks fly, it's like electricity…

Do you ever think about how crazy it is that you can just make a person? It is wild that people worldwide can create a human life with nothing more than their body and their time. And a big white bird depending on who you ask. While creating a person can take minimal effort, raising a person is full of chaos, madness, and confusion. Parenthood is a commitment of multiple decades where you get no days off and it can take over your life. One of the most common issues for parents is not having tim…

Sometimes life is pure pain, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh. In fact, it's often the only thing we can do in the face of rejection, humiliation, and total failure .
