  • 10 scientific reasons to stop procrastinating and get outdoors Just because you don't need to go outside doesn't mean you shouldn't.

    It’s easy to avoid the outdoors when all of your beloved technology is inside and you can use a mobile app to order anything you could possibly want. But just because you don’t need to go outside doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. There are a lot of scientifically proven health benefits to going outside. Let’s take a lot at 10 reasons why you should go outside more often. Vitamin D It’s not a secret that the sun provides your daily dose of Vitamin D. Although you can find the vitamin in some foods, humans get 90 percent of their necessary Vitamin D from the sun. It helps us absorb calcium, it…

  • 10 mysterious caves and tunnels nobody can explain Ancient goblin caves, underground pyramid secrets, Victorian crime dens, and even Satanic tunnels under a preschool. Let's go cavin'.

    Humans have always been fascinated with spaces in the ground beneath our feet, whether for the possibility of discovering a long-lost civilization, the gates to the underworld, or forgotten treasures. When we can’t account for what we do find, these caves and tunnels become a gold mine for the inevitable folklore. Early humans often left tunnels behind without an obvious explanation – especially before written language was invented. Other times, the purpose of these tunnels were intentionally kept as closely guarded secrets. Sometimes the actual truth is just dull and boring. Regardless, these unexplained underground spaces are interesting and we can’t help but wonder about their secrets. Germany’s “erdställe” goblin…

  • Medieval gambling: high stakes games in the Middle Ages The folly of many, and suppressed whenever authorities felt the gentry were impoverishing themselves. It nevertheless flourished.

    Just like today, people in the Middle Ages (5th to 15th century) liked to play games to pass the time. And where there’s games, there’s gambling. Gambling in the middle ages was of course a lot different from pointing your browser at King Casino and clicking yourself to victory on Jumanji video slot, but no matter what time period you’re from, backing games up with stakes will get your adrenaline pumping that much faster and our ancestors would have experienced the same thrill we do. Despite pushback from the church and law enforcement, gambling was an unrelenting force for people in all levels of society. Here are our top 10…

  • 10 lesser-known cryptid monsters that turned out to be hoaxes A lot of these are silly as heck, too. Don't get caught believin'.

    You’re walking through the woods with some friends late at night when something scurries past you in the bushes. You quickly look around and see a shadow of a giant ape for a split second. The obvious conclusion is that you must have witnessed a cryptid. In reality, it was probably just someone’s lost dog. There are hundreds of reported cryptids and monsters, and many of them have been debunked thanks to the hard work of researchers and hobbyists. However, there was a time before the internet when people genuinely believed that there are a ton of secretive, pseudo-mythical creatures hiding out in the forests. I’m not going to rule…

    When you visit your local dollar store, whether it’s Dollar General, Dollar Tree, or someplace else, you’ve already accepted the fact that you’re sacrificing quality for convenience. After all, it’s called a “dollar store” for a reason — you’re not going to find posh luxury goods.

Sometimes you just need more practice, and other times you might need to level up. But there are some games that are undeniably difficult no matter how you slice it, and the internet is full of angry anecdotal evidence for it.

  • 10 serial killers caught for the stupidest reasons If you're thinking of asking the task force trying to catch you if it's safe to send them the floppy disk you used to keep personal files on, read this first.

    Serial killers are hunted by the finest detectives and law enforcement agencies in the world, and it’s only a matter of time until a tiny error or oversight leads to the capture. But those errors – seen in hindsight or not – are sometimes pretty damn stupid. Dennis “the BTK killer” Rader Between the years of 1974 and 1991, Dennis Rader murdered 10 people in Sedgwick County, Kansas. He was known as the BTK killer for his murder M.O.: bind, torture, kill. And he was caught due to one of the dumbest mistakes in crime history. Like some other entries on this list, Rader thought he was smarter than everyone…

    Technology has brought many positive changes to our world, but it also means millions of people at a time have their sensitive and personal data leaked – a story by now so common that we’ve all been desensitized to it. In fact, if you go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and type in an email address you’ve used for many years, chances are it’ll show you your account has been part of a leak somewhere. It’s practically inevitable and basic internet security now means you should never tie any data point – on any service – to a public email address unless you want the entire world to eventually know it.
