Ah, summer. The season of fun. The season of exploration. The season of fusing your skin into the leather of your car seat on your way to fight the lava monsters. This is a time of year that certainly has its advantages, but the sheer heat of it all is enough to make anybody wanna run back inside and crank that AC until the leaves change...
Air conditioning was first invented by God himself as an apology for making Summer so hot in the first dang place. At least, that is the doctrine I teach in my new religion, Freezarianism. We divide human history into two segments; there’s BC, or “before conditioning,” and AAC, “after air conditioning.” The former of...
A lot of great things come in single sets. Sets of one. Things like…cars. Milk jugs. Pianos. Me. I can only conclude from this thorough analysis that I am at least as valuable as a piano or a milk jug, which gives me some comfort, because I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that being single can be rough. If you’re feeling...
Ah, relationships. Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em. It feels like we spend at least half our energy in life just trying to tweak our partnerships to get ’em just right, like futzing with the AC on a hot day, except there’s sex involved. It can lead to some of our greatest comforts and joys, and our...
Are you happy with your partner? Do you experience bouts of joy, trust, and unafraid intimacy? Do you have symptoms of confidence, stability, and connection? Then you may suffer from a condition known as “good relationship.” Good Relationship is a chronic condition that can last a very long time. To know whether you have it or are at...
We’re all familiar with the term “red flags” when it comes to relationships. The little warning signs that we’d prefer to ignore so we can just keep things going with someone whom we know deep down isn’t good for us. And while it’s doubtlessly important to keep an eye out for such things, we shouldn’t...
Science. What is it, exactly? How does it work? Does it want to be my friend? And can it make me rich, somehow? These are the questions we’ll be exploring today on our journey through the cosmos of science memes. Come aboard our ship of the imagination, and cruise the dank depths of human knowledge. 10. Breathe free This is why Plankton on...
They say that those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. Given that the majority of history has been *checks notes* a total dumpster fire, and given that there is a growing pro-dumpster fire contingency in the world today, I think it’s more important than ever that we heed this warning. Of course, history is kinda long, and...
It’s happened to all of us at some point: you’re looking around for something online and you find an unbelievably good deal. Maybe you hesitate for just a moment because it seems a little on the cheap side, but ultimately you just can’t pass it up. You click “buy” and a few days later there’s a package on your...
The great thing about shopping online is that it’s so easy. With just a few clicks you can find the best bargains, pay, and then just wait a few days or so for the thing to show up right at your house. The downside is that you don’t get the chance to actually see the thing in person before you buy it. All you’ve got to go on is...
