Mom throws 18-year-old daughter out of her house 2 months after her high school graduation for seemingly no reason: ‘Having child is for life. Not 18 years’

While the government might claim that you’re an adult once you turn 18, anyone who’s ever met an 18-year-old knows that couldn’t be further from the truth. 18-year-olds might act like they know everything in their Introduction to Western Civilization lectures, but their independence is relatively underdeveloped. And you know what, that’s okay! I’m not …

‘I’m smiling at grandmas, waving at kids, I’m like… a person’: American ex-pat sparks debate about quality of life in Europe

One of the greatest things about being an American is the chance to leave America every now and then if you’re lucky. I’ve had the pleasure of staying for extended periods of time in countries outside of my own, and I’m grateful for those experiences every day. Learning another culture, another way of life, another …

Mom Cries After Only Having $200 Left After Paying Bills, Gets Criticized For Being Out of Touch

Everyone has a different idea of what it means to «live paycheck to paycheck.» It drives me crazy when I see posts from people making $200K a year, claiming that they still live paycheck to paycheck after completely filling up their 401Ks and spending $5000 in rent. Most of us think of ourselves as middle …

Cringey Millennial Dances With Her Pancakes, People Debate Whether The Girl Glaring at Her is a Hater

There’s something to be said about living joyfully in public. I try to be as kind and happy to strangers as possible, both because it’s in my nature and it makes people’s day. I love to smile at strangers, even though 90% of the time, they look back at me like I’m crazy, but that’s …

Gen Z Teens Watch Movies in 20 Minutes by Speeding Them up And Skipping Sentimental Bits

I hate to be hyperbolic about Gen Z and the impact social media is having on us, but in some cases, it’s necessary. Finding out that someone can’t sit through a movie that’s longer than 90 minutes without getting squirmy is horrifying. What’s worse is that some people can’t even sit through such a  short …

Hilarious TikToks That Define The Clock App

I have been on TikTok since the ancient year of 2019. That was before all the real adults joined the app, and it was a weird and unique place on the internet at the time. Maybe TikTok hasn’t changed that much besides the fact that there are more people on it. Not to mention, the …

The Most Entertaining Takes From TikTok This Week (April 6, 2023)

TikTok is the number one social media for platforming incendiary takes. Ten years ago, Tumblr was the undisputed master of this art. People (and by people, I mostly mean tweens) would post wild and crazy takes just to get roasted by all of the other tweens on the website. Now, it’s all happening on TikTok, …

People Debate Whether Singers Should Show Off At Karaoke

People who can sing can get a little irritating, especially when they constantly remind you of their talents. Like we get it, Claire, you can belt Defying Gravity, and for some reason, you decide to do it in public!!!
