You can hope for the best, but sometimes travel plans are just out of your control.

Who wants to be sitting on an airline for longer than they have to? Well—due to Southwest's unique seating arrangement, where no seats are assigned, and all seats are first-come-first-serve, the less honest among us are hugely incentivized to vie for priority boarding without having to fork out extra for it. The way people do this is by asking for a wheelchair before they arrive at their gate, which qualifies them for priority boarding from the airline. This frustrated passenger hit out against…

When the internet talks, ratios happen. And luckily for us, they're often really funny, and fun to root for the person doing the ratio'ing. Some of the funniest ratios I've ever witnessed were during the 2022 monkey NFT craze. (See #8 for one example!) As you may recall, “Bored Ape” NFTs were all the rage for crypto bros. The gist was that you bought the digital image of the apes, and then you owned the image, technically, sort of. Because while you may have had a paper stating that you owned t…

Interns come and go, but one guy, James, made an impression on the entire office with his high jinks.

An incredibly public display that may have resulted in multiple contractual and privacy breaches occurred on Twitter between Twitter CEO Elon Musk and a developer, Halli, after the developer enquired about his employment status on the platform following radio silence from the social media giant. The exchange resulted from a viral tweet from Halli, who claimed that they had lost access to their work computer nine days prior—yet there had been communication from the HR department, which also wasn…

Perhaps. Just—perhaps… investing everything you own into cartoon drawings of monkeys and whatnot is not the soundest financial decision one could make. Especially when said monkeys are stored on a virtual drive that has no recourse for recovery once you fall victim to a run-of-the-mill phishing scam. Sure, my assets may be vulnerable to the collapse of society, but at least up until that point, they're guaranteed by the financial institution that is using that cash for its own profits. Similarl…

Twitter is, has always been, and is likely to become increasingly: problematic. The platform is known for its hot takes, fandom drama (as well as real-world drama), and clout chasing. Plus, there's something inherent in the structure of users thrusting their thoughts out into the open void, hoping for accolades from others, that encourages the narcissistic behavior the platform cultivates. Still, Twitter has always hit its stride and been at its best with threads like this. Threads that are fun…

Anyone who travels frequently has had their luggage go missing at some point… and anyone who has had their luggage go missing at some point has experienced the anxiety of having their valued personal possessions locked in a suitcase in who-knows-where and with who-knows-who. Airlines are never helpful at quelling these fears; their vague assurances and unwillingness to acknowledge the existence of a problem leave us with no answers wondering what cruel fate has befallen our precious goods. In m…

If you needed proof that all cultures have something in common: This is it. As it turns out, that end piece of crusty bread is regarded in a similar, if not identical, way in each culture. Forever an outcast, or as the Scottish put it: an outsider, that end piece of bread is regarded by all to be an inferior or unwanted portion, earning names like 'The Mother-in-Law,' the 'Butt' 'Boss,' 'Heel,' 'Nob'; all terms being derogatory, unwanted, and utterly dreadful, dirty things. This is a topic that…

‘I ain’t even own a washcloth before you'

These people were all hoping to meet their soulmates - but instead, they got a great story to tell of a crazy date gone wrong ! Dating seems like it could be so simple. You meet someone, hit it off, and have a simple meal together. However, not everyone is a natural at dating. Some people get super nervous and clam up. Others have a bad attitude about dating. Or maybe they're just not really that into the person they're out to dinner with (and will let them know they're not happy to be dining t…

As the Twitter meltdown continues to unfold, Elon Musk has just excused a Staff Software Engineer — who dared to speak out against his rhetoric — via Twitter.

What is real these days? Is this post real? Am I real? Or am I just an algorithm trained to harvest content and write pseudo-intellectual sentences? These days who can really be certain? Especially with the rise of viral marketing, side-hustling, and clout chasers. I mean, just yesterday, I saw a content creator calling out another content creator who has created a persona that centers around being a “family man” and is selling a Hustlers University-inspired program teaching you to be a better…

Your first job in the service industry (or retail, I'd argue) is a formative experience. For most of us, it comes at that time in our life when earning some cash is a necessity: Maybe you've just graduated high school or college and need a job; maybe you're still in high school; maybe the career you thought you were going to have as an Olympic level athlete didn't quite work out, and now you have no idea what you're doing with your life. Ignoring the fact that the last example is oddly specific…

In case you missed it, in the last hour, Nintendo has finally slid the curtain back on the Super Mario Bros. Movie by releasing a teaser trailer that totaled 2:29 in length. This small glimpse has (predictably) caused an explosion of reactions on Twitter, where the movie has been hotly anticipated. There has been much debate on the platform surrounding the direction the movie will take, which took a worrying turn when the movie's eclectic voice-acting cast was unveiled. Fans were concerned with…

We'd like to take this chance to remember and memorialize ‘The Queue’ an inordinately long endless stretch of outstandingly ordered persons that demonstratively indicates we have likely reached the penultimate peak of British society. No this isn't about the memorial for the queen herself but rather a memorial to memorialize the sensation that has now passed in the form of “The Queue” as it remains in our hearts and minds. "The Queue" as it has been dubbed both on the internet and in the wider…
