Raccoons have gotten a bad reputation over the years. Their diet of trash and resistance toward domestication makes them hard to love for many people. However, not everyone is a hater. Some of us developed our love for raccoons through their brief yet impactful appearances in the movies. Pocahontas's bestie Meeko was stellar representation of a sweet and loyal raccoon. In the cult-classic documentary Grey Gardens, Little Edie feeds the raccoon living in her attic two bags of Wonder Bread, refus…

Everyone makes mistakes. Most of my past relationships fall into that category. While some mistakes can be funny, those errors in judgment resulted in zero laughs. We've said before that it's a bit unfair that when kids are stupid , it's cute and chuckleworthy - but when we are, it's just embarrassing. Turns out this goes for when they screw up names, too. For all the bungled introductions I've experienced (people always assume my name is actually Rihanna), none of the goofs have stuck. But kid…

When cat rescuer @ellle_em was having a bad day, they turned to Twitter and made a very specific request. “Please reply to this tweet with an AITA written from the perspective of your cat and also include a photo of said cat I would appreciate this very much” tweeted @ellle_em. Boy oh boy did Twitter deliver. After @ellle_em got the ball rolling with some posts featuring a bunch of their lovely-looking rescues, other Twitter users got in on the joke and shared stories about their own mischievou…

Cats are the bomb, but cats have their fair share of haters who can never keep it to themselves. These cat haters all have the same blanket excuses for disliking cats. One of these excuses is, "when you die, your cat will eat your dead body." Well, to that, I say, I'm glad she will. If my cat didn't gobble up my corpse in a desperate bid at survival, I would be disappointed, to say the least. But let's not think about that morbid side of cats. Let's think of positive things! Sunshine, rainbows,…

Look out, dog moms! There's a new sheriff in town, and her baby is leafy and green. Houseplants have been a staple for generations, but they've had a real boom in popularity over the past few years, especially with younger generations on social media. While some people adopted a dog or picked up new artistic hobbies when the pandemic hit, the newly anointed plant moms and plant dads strapped on their gardening gloves and got to work: repotting, watering, and desperately hoping their plants did…

Watching porn on the internet isn't exactly as socially acceptable as, say, watching YouTube. And you certainly can't visit porn sites as casually as you'd visit your favorite subreddit. If you browse the comment section of a controversial PewDiePie video, few will question it. But if you're like, “I went on Pornhub for the comments," sorry, but no one's going to believe you. Luckily, thanks to subreddits like r/PornhubComments , now you can enjoy Pornhub's comment section gold without feeling…

"Big Chris sounds like an angel on earth."

If you're feeling drained by the world and, like, everything, you're not alone. We're all well aware of the turmoil facing most of the globe, be it pandemic-related, war-related, or violence-related. When times get tough and you fall into another doom-scrolling episode, it's best to try to press pause, take a deep breath, and do something that makes you happy. For us, that often means scrolling through something happy. The activity serves as a sort of palate cleanser in the face of the crap tha…

It started with a text and now her nail tech just wants her to find a nice husband.

As much as boomers and millennials seem to love warring on the internet over who screwed the world up, we can't let ourselves forget how awesome old people can be, especially when they attempt to use some new kind of tech for the first time. It's also important to remember that we're all going to be boomers some day—time will make sure of that. And hopefully in the decades to come, when millennials inevitably hold the boomer torch, we'll end up on meme pages that poke fun at our little incompet…

Chaotic good.

Protect this gradnpa at all costs.

Men address everything from anatomy to relationships

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear helmets, others stethoscopes. But some kind-hearted heroes work behind a bar, wielding rags and working for tips. We all know that bartenders have hard jobs. Wrangling drunks and scrambling for tiny tips isn't easy. But we don't often talk about the way bartenders look out for their clientele, whether they're offering an ear to a troubled person, or protecting women from creepy patrons. Twitter user @guttersnipe tweeted about the latter situation this week,…

It's pretty easy to feel discouraged when things get tough. Over the past couple years it feels like we've been looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Every time we start to glimpse something optimistic in the distance, it's quickly snuffed out by yet another terrible world event. At a certain point, you have to stop hoping that something good will happen and create positivity in the present. That can be done by making a list of things you're grateful for, indulging in a little self ca…
