In theory, wearing two of something should equate to double the protection — two pairs of socks, for example, should keep your feet warmer in the middle of winter than one pair. (It’s common knowledge that the key to staying warm is layering, right?) But is that...
You: I should eat healthy. High-end grocery store: We sell organic produce, line-caught fish, specialty nut butters, cold-pressed juices, kombucha, nut milks and other stuff that sounds like it’s going to rebuild your very soul from the purest sunlight! You: That sounds amazing, can I please get...
I frequently convince myself, while stubbornly exploring the limitations of my wasabi tolerance, that sushi is indeed a healthy meal. At the very least, compared to other meats, fish contains more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and less artery-clogging saturated fat. Right? But still, some types of sushi...
You might be under the impression that you were done with potty training years ago. I certainly thought I had come through it aged three with flying colors — yellows and browns, for the most part. But of late, after sustained exposure to headlines telling me I’ve...
Bad news, Mother Nature: Researchers at the University of Exeter and Plymouth Marine Laboratory recently examined 50 animals from 10 different species of dolphins, whales and seals, and they found so-called microplastics in every single one of them. “It’s shocking — but not surprising — that every...
If we’re going to call a spade a spade, then the first line of the preamble should be edited to say: “We, the mostly obese people of United States…” Because let’s face it, we’re fat. Amongst industrialized countries, America is the fattest of them all, with two...
When you’re a dad, parenting questions often come up that you struggle to find an answer to. Since other parents are the worst and Google will send you down a rabbit hole of paralyzing, paranoid terror, we’re here to help by putting those questions to the experts....
There are few instances that provoke riot-type behavior from me — a generally level-headed guy — more than a bartender measuring the amount of alcohol they’re about to pour into my glass as though it’s the chemical catalyst for an atomic bomb. Yes, it’s their job not...
It’s a universal truth: No matter what time of day it is or how jet-lagged you are from your flight, as soon as you enter that hotel room with your significant other, all you want to do is bang. Unpacking can wait as you momentarily forget how gross those sheets...
A little while back, a couple nutrition experts told USA Today that the ultimate hangover cure is an omelette for breakfast and soup for lunch. *checks to make sure I read that right* Look, yes, when you get into the science of it, their reasoning seems sensible:...
I recently saw a product that promised to eliminate any odor from any body part for three whole days. While that seems magical if we’re talking about, say, butt sweat in the summer, it doesn’t seem so great if we’re talking about overall body smells. Listen, guys,...
“Men’s nipples can be carnal command centers.” This is the phrase that sticks most in my head after a week of looking deep into the mystery of men’s hard nipples. The sentence appeared in a 2014 Cosmopolitan piece about male nipple sensitivity, and I’m not sure if it’s just...
