If you're not a vegan, vegetarian, or pescatarian in the United States, chances are your diet involves at least a bit of chicken. Eating healthy as an omnivore has almost become synonymous with eating massive amounts of chicken breasts. On a less healthy note, pretty much every restaurant you go to will, at the very least, offer diners a chicken sandwich of some kind. Every year in the US we consume 26 billion pounds of the bird and spend almost $30 billion on broiler birds. According to @MrSol…

They're a major food group

There are three types of math geeks: the ones who are good at math, the vengeful ones who do math to epically own others, and the ones who study equations just so they can get the jokes in dank math memes. If we were to visualize these math geek subcategories using a three-set Venn-diagram, these dank math and science memes would lie right in the center. Before you go correcting my lazy logic, just know that I failed pre-calculus in high school. Anyway. Enjoy the memes, nerd.

“Sugar cereals,” as many families refer to them, have always been nutritionally dubious. The intensely sugary bits of Technicolor grains are often criticized as an irresponsible choice for kids' breakfasts. Their colors and marketing, especially their cartoon mascots, are geared at making kids clamor for them in the cereal aisle.

I remember dissecting my owl pellet like it was yesterday. I was in 4th grade and I was sick at home with the chickenpox. I'd been really looking forward the owl pellet project and so when I caught my little sister's infection, I was super bummed out. My best friend at the time was nice enough to offer bringing a pellet and tools to my house so that I could do mine at home. My mom was reluctant at first, but she gave in. It was for science, after all. Feverish and covered in bright red pox, I j…

How is it that someone can be perfectly affable and charming in person, but an absolute nightmare of a human on social media? Why does it feel like we're all walking around in a cloud of paranoia all the time? Why is it hard to tell which information is true and which is fake these days? Psychology buff @g_s_bhogal might have some answers. In a follow-up tweet to an insightful mega-thread of 40 psychology concepts, @g_s_bhogal explained that his goal “is to help people avoid the psychological t…

The more you know.

My cats are very different. Gorgeous is bright, alert, and very fond of biting me at any given moment. Grey (also known as Grigio), on the other hand is timid. She often has a vacant expression on her dilute tortoiseshell face, mouth agape as she wheezes from her street-acquired respiratory ailment. Simply put, she seems simple. Sorry, Grigio. Armed with the knowledge that cats, can, in fact be dumb, I cannot claim that I was terribly surprised by the results of a feline-related study that were…
