Urgh

Are you familiar with the concept of seasoning cast iron cookware? The intention behind the process, which is essentially baking oil into the cookware, is to make it a nonstick surface and to help protect it from rusting. People are pretty intense about their cast iron, which probably explains all the memes against washing the cookware in a dishwasher or (gasp!) using soap. Contrary to what some may believe or tout on the Internet, it's OK to use a little soap on cast iron, as long as you reple…

We laughed so hard, we cried.

Ugh

We all know that hindsight is 20/20. That definitely applied to the year 2020 , and as we've learned over the past few years, the present, too. Today, however, we are talking about a special kind of hindsight and regret. We've all seen that tweet from Hillary Clinton where she says "Happy birthday to this future President." Well, let's just say that things didn't go as she planned. Cringe. That tweet kind of made history where being overly confident is concerned. Today, we've got an assortment…

Everything is embarrassing

Nooo

I'm going to come out and say it: Loving what you do (for work) is a luxury. But even if you're a statistics enthusiast or a strategy geek, chances are you don't want to spend all your time working. That's where having a work/life balance comes in. The concept, to many, is pretty novel. It's long been fashionable to spend long hours working in the office or from home, putting in the extra time because your bosses, for some reason, expect you to be available around the clock. There's a reason th…

Don't be like this

God bless the internet

It never ends

I often wonder if social media is making people stupider or if it's just exposing the stupidity that was there all along. I'm inclined to believe the latter is true, but one thing is for sure—Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram aren't raising any IQs. And this isn't to say that I'm better than anyone else. On the contrary—I've posted some very dumb takes in my lifetime. Some of the dumbest. That's why I feel entitled speak bluntly on the matter. Humans may be the most intelligent species on the pla

Me, me, me

It's true: Not everyone can be a brain genius. But despite what Rick and Morty fans might tell you, IQs don't mean much if you don't do anything with them. Take me, for example. My mother made the mistake of telling me my IQ when I was younger (it's the same as Snoop Dogg's, do with that what you will). She had high hopes for me and placed me in gifted programs. Unfortunately, due to my rebellious nature, I ended up dashing her dreams and getting straight Bs throughout my education. Fast forwar…

I don't know about you, but whenever I find myself falling into a YouTube hole, it's not just the videos that I am paying attention to. Whether the video is stupid, smart, or even some excruciatingly boring tutorial, I will go out of my way to check out all of the comments. The truth is, in many cases, that the YouTube comments are more entertaining than the videos themselves. While there are some sweetly appreciative shout-outs and usually some personal anecdotes from a boomer or two, there's…
