When it comes to working out, we’re not all strongmen like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (aka The Mountain). In fact, many of us could go our entire lives and still have no clue how a lat pull-down differs from an incline bench. Which is to say, there’s no shame in...
The mirror suggests it; the scales confirm it: You have, through hardcore dedication, a strict New Year’s resolution and/or a terrible stomach virus, managed to lose some weight. But… lose it where? Where does the fat actually go? Do we digest it? Poop it out? Is it...
Like everyone else hitting the New Year, you might be thinking about making some serious life changes, and that could mean switching careers. In which case, you might be wondering, “Am I too late? Or what about too old? Do I have to start over?” These are...
I can’t imagine not coming home for Christmas, if only because it’s also my niece’s birthday and I love my mommy. But not everyone feels the warm fuzzies for their family members, and even if they do, that $1,000 roundtrip plane ticket home can really test the...
If you’re anything like me, you have a lot of friends who like to drink. Maybe they’re whiskey people, gin people or anything-I-can-get-my-hands-on people, but every year you know you can wipe out half your holiday shopping list by a trip to the liquor store. And that’s...
Santa is famous for sporting a dense beard, among other charitable things, and while the average person has probably never considered the sterile (or otherwise) qualities of his whiskers, we here at Dollar Shave Club are weird like that. Of course, most of us have seen the...
The holidays are all about absurdly gluttonous meals and sugary treats, both of which contribute to a horrifying fact we learned a while back: Americans typically gain one to three pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, and most of us never lose it. Argh. But don’t...
It can be painfully obvious, at times, when another human hates the gifts you gave them. But when you drop a brand new chew toy in front of your beloved pet and they immediately rip the thing to shreds, it can be difficult to tell whether they...
The idea that Santa, a man with a bulbous belly full of milk and cookies, can slide down a chimney might seem preposterous to the average human. But to a contortionist, even the tightest of squeezes is a mere challenge. To show you just how incredible Santa...
Sure, there are presents and spiked eggnog and A Christmas Story playing on a continuous 168-hour loop on TV, but outside of that, the whole holiday season is pretty damn stressful. You’re spending money you don’t have and hanging around your family far more than you’d like,...
So you went a little overboard with your Christmas tree last year, huh? You were feeling extra festive, and you bought the tallest, most cumbersome pine that your local dealer had to offer. Somehow, one of the employees managed to strap it to the top of your...
Beard burn: It’s the bane of those with bearded significant others, especially during the holidays, when mistletoe is hanging around every corner and make out sessions are a-plenty. As every guy knows, even a few days of growth can leave your partner’s face feeling like a freshly-grated...
