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...
There are some pretty compelling reasons to make sure your butt looks nice, and for some guys, that includes keeping the fur in check. But how the heck are you supposed to go about removing hair from an area you can barely even see? Melanie Mari, owner...
If you’ve ever seen a man in a yoga class, or one of the millions of kids who had to “sit and reach” for the now-defunct Presidential Fitness Test or one of the many male YouTubers who film themselves trying — and largely failing — to touch their toes, chances...
Maybe this is TMI, but I feel like I pee, like, once an hour. You will never catch this bitch dehydrated! But I’m curious — what does all that water actually do? Does it all just… turn into pee? Apparently, yeah, pretty much. Exactly what your body does with...
Whether it’s seeing our home team lose or splitting up with a partner, we’ve all had a cry at some point in our lives. Those big drops of sadness even have their own name, and are distinct from regular eye moisture: They’re referred to as emotional tears,...

Over time, stress can even kill you. But for some people, one of the more immediate manifestations of stress appears right on...
The term “silent treatment,” chillingly, comes from 19th-century prison reform. Instead of physical punishment or grueling work, which was believed to do nothing to truly alter the character of the criminal, prisoners would no longer be allowed to speak to each other and rarely be spoken to.

As we proceed into the post-lockdown phase of the COVID-19 crisis, single people will soon be able to finally break up with their dominant hand. (“It was an intense three months, Palmela!”) And when they do, they’ll hit a new market of slightly plumper beings who’ve grown thirsty in...
