This is the opposite of an aphrodisiac.

Could they be any weirder?

One of the benefits of getting older is that you gain some perspective on life and many of the things that have happened to you in the past. This isn’t always an easy thing to do, but it’s an important part of becoming an adult . That being said, it can be possible to take the whole process a little too seriously. Not every childhood memory is an unexplored trauma, even if some parts of social media can try to make it feel that way. This was a criticism faced by Twitter user @jeannakadlec , whe…

From offensive old tweets to compromising Insta stories, we can never be too careful what we post online . This is especially true when it comes to information about ourselves, because it can easily fall into the wrong hands. While this advice might feel like Stranger Danger 101, the kind of clues many of us might not even think about can sometimes reveal a terrifying amount of information. Tiktoker @fiftyshadesofjor y has humorously pointed this out by responding to another user. The original …

Trust no-one. This world is full of cheats, liars and snitches who we often don't notice until it's too late. It's about time that changed and we learned to defend ourselves. For the overthinkers among us, it's second nature to prepare for all kinds of events, just in case we're hit with a worst case scenario. Sometimes, that includes getting aggressive. This has become the premise for the "Practicing How To Fight" trend, where people show themselves finessing their brawling skills for potentia…

It is amazing how easily we get used to convenience. The delights of delivery apps are a relatively recent phenomenon, but your average city dweller can barely remember a time when you couldn’t get takeout with the tap of a button. In fact, things have progressed so far that it’s no longer just our food cravings that we can satisfy pronto. Earlier this week, a video went viral of a DoorDash driver expressing disbelief over his latest Walmart order. The reason? It was a 55" flat-screen TV. The d…

Costco is truly a king among stores. If you qualify to apply for that sweet, sweet membership, you suddenly have a whole new world of discounts and tantalizing bulk items right at your fingertips. You never know what delights might find themselves in your shopping cart whenever your visit, but that’s all part of the wonder that is the Costco experience. Arguably, one of the best aspects of the store is its return policy. Its approach is so shockingly liberal that a video of two of its employees…

It just sounds wrong.

It's challenging enough to get the average adult to pay attention, but babies? Impossible. Everyone knows that babies do as they please and you can't reason with them. But two brilliant parents found a baby hack that deserves appreciation. @dna_williams Reply to @joycesaurous well thank you! ♬ original sound - DeAnn_N_Alyssa As one Twitter user aptly put it, 'babies do not like minding their business. Gotta use that against them.' I don't even know if I want kids yet, but when I saw @DeAnn_N_Al…

You don't have to be a cat owner to appreciate the feline disregard for personal safety. When you're a species blessed with that level of agility and pride, it's a natural temptation to constantly rub it in everyone's face. However, when things go wrong they tend to backfire big time. It's not often that this happens as spectacularly as the events at the Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night, though. The opening of the college football season in Miami was stalled after a cat was found in the stan…

Productivity and focus are overrated. They may be what allows us to get things done - or pay the bills - but they're also exceedingly boring. All that working and thinking makes us tired, cranky, and generally miserable. Fortunately we have the perfect antidote to this mental malady: memes. Humor will always be there to take the pressure off and the world wide web showers us daily with all the funny we could ever want. There's no shame in indulging in a meme scroll every now and again, especial…

Ever walk down Main Street in Disneyland and get the sudden, unbearable craving for vanilla ice cream in a giant waffle cone? Or maybe you can't quite remember what happens in the Haunted Mansion, but you can still recall the smell of that musky elevator. According to TikToker @hangryblogger , Disneyland is brainwashing its patrons with devices called 'smellitizers' that emit intoxicating aromas and manipulate you into buying their churros. Uh, what? Is that even necessary? I mean, churros smel…

As digital natives, it’s easy to fall into the habit of complaining about the internet. It often feels like it sucks up a lot of our time for no good reason, and there are plenty of valid criticisms to be made about misinformation, abuse and screen addiction. However, when thinking about our own online experiences we can lose sight of those that differ. For the many in older generations who are unfamiliar with the internet, its benefits can be far more appreciated — and it isn’t limited to the …

It’s human nature to make a sacrifice in the name of love now and then. We wouldn’t have any tales of great romance if people didn’t make the occasional dramatic and/or mind-bogglingly stupid gesture just because somebody else gives them butterflies. That being said, there comes a point where most people would draw the line, especially with a person they’ve just met. This was not the case for @cassidydangler, who braved the biblical storm that hit New York last week in order to go on a date wit…

Something is not as it seems.
