They walk among us: People who, for whatever reason, have never hopped on the shaving cream train. They say shaving cream is unnecessary and does nothing in the way of improving your overall experience of shaving. They swear by shaving with nothing more than water and a...
There’s no shortage of lessons we humans can learn from animals: Cats remind us to get plenty of sleep; dogs teach us to love unconditionally; and chimpanzees show us how to accurately throw handfuls of fresh poop at unsuspecting strangers. These lessons also extend into the realm...
As the epithet suggests, flavor savers — commonly known as soul patches — have a unique capacity for saving flavors. This could be a good thing: Want another taste of that chili dog you had for lunch? Just tongue-punch your flavor saver, bro! This could also be...
Hardbody? Heck yes! Calluses that inevitably result from lifting weights in an attempt to become said hardbody? That’s a nope. But alas, hard pads of skin and lifting weights tend to go hand in callused hand, with calluses most often appearing at the base of the fingers....
We, as humans, have pioneered a lot of technology over the centuries. There was the wheel — that was cool; the first system of celestial navigation — allowed us to travel the open oceans, natch; nuclear power — yeah, not going to go there. And then, of...
You could smell like 2,000-year-old mummy juice and have no idea. Conversely, your quarantine partner could smell like 2,000-year-old mummy juice, and you could detect them from a mile away (or at least the other room). This is because our noses and brains are designed to detect...
Going outside on a clear summer day is a good reminder that the sun is indeed a blazing fireball of unfathomable heat. Even from 94.486 million miles away, you can feel the ultraviolet rays from that enormous star beaming against your delicate skin. You may even feel...
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...
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...
Just how popular is cereal in this country? Pretty freakin’ popular — that’s how much. According to industry researcher IBISWorld, cereal is a $10 billion business, annually. Not impressed? Well, did you know that more than 2.5 billion boxes of cereal are sold each year? Yeah, that’s...
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...
