via BoliviaInteligente on Unsplash In the span of just a few years, we've gone from barely understanding what AI does to seeing it used everywhere. Your inbox is likely chock-full of companies bragging about their latest AI updates. On photo editing sites, AI generation is touted on the home page. X, formerly known as Twitter, has an AI named "Grok," while Google has the cutesy "Gemini." They want you to talk to these artificial beings, ask them questions, and even let them be your personal ass…

Online shopping can fool even the most vigilant of shoppers. Even when you use your best judgement and buy items from reputable sellers, you may find yourself opening the package and looking at a bad product. Sometimes you get a knockoff item that is definitely not what the photo advertised. Other times your package arrives looking like it's been through a tornado, leaving your product damaged. You never can know for certain what'll happen in the time between hitting the “place order” button an…

You will never believe what people are selling online these days. What can't you buy online? These days, we have the blessing and curse of being able to buy and sell any item you'd ever want, not to mention hundreds of items that nobody in their right mind would ever want. Don't let the Craigslisters of the world hear that, though. They believe that any random garbage found around their house has value. There are people who sell things like 100 packets of hot sauce. There is a person who is, wi…

Things don't always turn out exactly as you'd hoped. Sometimes things are a little better than you thought it would be, and that's a lovely surprise. Other times, the circumstances are a bit worse than you anticipated, which is a bit of a letdown. There's nowhere that's more obvious than online shopping , where people are constantly finding the coolest clothing or toys of their dreams, only to have their hopes dashed when the item actually arrives. Ordering clothes on the internet consistently…

We now have a family rule that my mom can’t blog about anyone else without permission

Instant karma is the best kind of karma. Nobody wants to see destiny play out slowly over time… We want karma now. One remote worker called up tech support on a Friday, just as the IT employee was about to head home. The worker was livid that their internet wasn't working, and they completely flipped out on the poor IT employee who hadn't done anything wrong. The worker explained that their internet wasn't working, and demanded IT fix it right that instant. After a couple of questions, the prob…

“I think A.I. just dumped me ,” confessed one confused person. As artificial intelligence, commonly known as A.I., becomes larger and more integrated with everyday life, things are going to get weird. At this point in the internet, we know A.I. is here to stay, but we aren't quite sure how to properly integrate it into businesses or our personal lives. Teachers are reading A.I.-written papers that their students have turned in, and some business people have resorted to letting an A.I. do their…

When you order online, you do so at your own peril. It's a learning experience: can you really buy that $200 blanket for $2? Could a new gaming console really cost just $15 plus shipping? You know the saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"? That definitely applies here. After you check out these goofy expectation vs. reality photos, check out these fashion trends from each generation that haven't aged well (shoulder pads and big hair, we're looking at you).

This employee was surprised every day by the odd way their nepo-boss chose to run a business.

A good bathroom is an essential part of any business where food and beverages are being served. After all, there is a… certain connection between consuming things and the inevitable need to make use of one. This is especially true when you're operating a cafe—as coffee is specifically known for its ability to get things moving. Now, a good bathroom isn't going to necessarily make a good business—but it might break one. The last thing you want your customers to associate your establishment with…

This person probably never imagined that a company would take their bad review so seriously. As a company, you rely heavily on your star rating . Lots of places maintain five stars, or sometimes four, but once your business has three stars or less, lots of people will avoid it just based off of that. After all, if enough people have had a negative experience at your restaurant or store, why would a customer bother going in there? Instead, they'd rather go to a place brimming with five star revi…

Sometimes, the greatest window into someone else's life is via their online shopping reviews!

This kid will never learn anything with his entitled mom around!

A plastic bag, a handful of rocks, and random scrap paper drawings are all among the items that people tried to sell on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.

If you're looking for a broad range of the human experience, look no further than these Amazon reviews!

If this isn't evidence of a desperate education system, I don't know what is!
