Theme park characters, sports mascots, medical professionals, furries, high school theater kids and children on Halloween all provide solid evidence that CO2 poisoning doesn’t happen from wearing a mask. Yet some of the COVID-19 conspiracy theorists are refusing to wear masks in public because of their completely unfounded belief that mask-related...
There’s something heartbreaking about hating a new haircut. I’m not sure whether it’s the fact that you spent tens of dollars on something you really, really don’t like, or the fact you sat through at least 30 minutes of awkward conversation while being forced to look at...
Exercise isn’t just about health. As much as we’re all aware of the endless health benefits of being in good shape, anyone who claims it isn’t at least slightly about trying to look better is lying. Maybe, you think, I’ll be incredibly sexy after this. It’s a shame, then, that those...
Despite living at a time when science (mostly) trumps tradition, some of us still believe in old home remedies — like, for instance, curing body odor with vinegar or soothing dry skin with olive oil. But do any of these supposed “grooming life hacks” actually hold any...
Contact lens manufacturers take all the guesswork out of determining how long each lens can be worn: Look right on the box, where the lifespan is clearly spelled out. Done, question answered. But for reasons of frugality, laziness, curiosity or our unwavering desire to push the human...

I’ve always thought that the crisper drawers in refrigerators just existed for organizational purposes. Not once did I stop to ask myself why they were called “crisper” drawers — that’s someone else’s business. But apparently, they’re not just drawers. Or at least, they’re hypothetically not just drawers. As the name suggests,...
Many apartment hoppers, accustomed to ancient appliances and sputtering sinks, can only dream of someday having a dishwasher. When that day comes, they hope, life will finally feel comfortable. In the time they’d normally spend scrubbing plates and soaking utensils, they can instead read a book, water a plant or whatever else people...
Excessively bushy eyebrows can be troublesome, sure, but at least they provide something to work with; a carving stone to sculpt as you so choose. For those with thin eyebrows — or God forbid, no eyebrows at all — their options are much less straightforward, and not...
After years of showering on a daily basis, you’d think stepping out completely clean is a given. Some body parts, however, are easy to miss, and so are often left unwashed for weeks at a time. Below is a list of every hard-to-reach body part, how to...
Certain things in life are a given: Wearing clothes in public, brushing your teeth in the morning (and hopefully at night), closing the door behind you when you leave your house. But amongst these general acts of societal indoctrination is perhaps the most basic — that of...
