The Dive Bar Would Rather Save Us

Before COVID, we dreaded the thought that they might be on their way to extinction. Then, COVID happened. And we threw up our hands, figuring that would be it. The dive bar is over. We had a good run. But actually, something magical happened. We didn’t save the dive bar. The dive bar saved us.  Raise your glass (or in this case, possibly plastic).

Why We All Need to Stop Rubbing Plastic on Our Private Parts

[Partner]  Guilty. We’ve used loofahs made of plastic webbing. And while we’re admitting things to you, we’ve stolen at least a couple from previous girlfriends. Shh. But no longer. Thanks to a brand new shower scrubber. The Shower Scrubber from Casamera (the company famous for bettering your bath essentials). The Shower Scrubber is made from all natural ingredients and is an absolute lathering machine. It’s designed with two different but equally awesome sides. A gentle side (good for the face). And a get-after-it side (good for the bod). You need this shower tool. The planet needs this shower tool.  Get one today.

What an Egg Breakfast Looks Like in 18 Places Around the World

Egg and cheese on an everything bagel, please. Maybe some bacon on there if it’s a Sunday. We’d ask you your go-to egg breakfast order, but that wouldn’t be near as interesting as hearing about eggs around the world. Sorry.  We might have to swap the bagel for shakshuka.

The Real Lord of the Flies

The author of Lord of the Flies once wrote to his editor (about the book), “Even if we start with a clean slate, our nature compels us to make a muck of it. Man produces evil as a bee produces honey.” Whoa. But maybe he has a point. After all, it’s this exact theme that turned him into one of the most important authors of... ever. Until one curious gent started looking into it.  What would actually happen if boys were stranded on an island?

Meet the UFO Hunters Ready to Find Aliens Cheap and ASAP

We all have that one friend who keeps a grainy photo of a light blob handy. Evidence of aliens that they saw with their own eyes. We love these kinds of friends, as we often wonder what’s really out there. And we like their confidence in knowing the answer. Now, an official alien hunter unit of sorts has developed. They’re setting up cameras in popular sighting areas. And you can even get a setup for your neck of the woods.  Ya know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

The Mixer

How Paul Schrader wrote Taxi Driver as self therapy. Why people are getting naked near Russian landmarks. The TikTok viral sex chocolates. The most ambitious drive through setups. Kieran Culkin (and the left side of his hair) crushing SNL. An 8 year old explaining the metaverse. The actual reason water is important on Mars. How long you can leave butter out.
