I believe many of us hate the feeling when we know something for a fact but people still think that they know better. It may be something that you discuss with friends, online with random netizens, or with family. However, probably the most annoying is being doubted by your family members about something that you, in fact, have a few degrees in and are passionate about. For example, one Reddit user shared her story online after being doubted by her father while she was talking about her work....

Zendaya found herself in an awkward spot after being asked by an interviewer to rate her co-stars’ kissing skills during the promotion of her new film, “Challengers.” Flanked by her co-stars, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor, Zendaya sat down for an interview on the Australian breakfast TV show called Sunrise when the unnerving question popped up. What followed during the exchange was a moment that highlighted not just the camaraderie among the three performers but also the often intrusive nature of celebrity interviews....

Ultimatums have a way of backfiring. Whether it’s a parent laying down a new house rule or a CEO demanding that employees fall in line, the phrase “If you don’t like it, leave” is usually meant to silence dissent—but sometimes, those words are just an empty threat. So Reddit user Yeah_nah90 asked for stories about times when people decided to call the bluff and received thousands of descriptions of walkouts that completely changed the mood of the room....

Chicken instead of cash. Sandwiches instead of money. That’s what a branch of the Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant promised to [ cough ] ‘pay’ their Drive Thru Express ‘volunteers’ in North Carolina. The suggested ‘wage’ was 5 entrees per shift (aka 1 hour) worked. And if you think this is absolutely ridiculous, dear Pandas, you’re not the only ones. Now, we know what some of you are thinking: 5 sandwiches per hour theoretically doesn’t sound all that bad, considering their value....

Santa Claus is real. Babies come from a stork dropping them off on your doorstep. You are definitely capable of becoming a professional tennis player when you grow up. Adults tell children little white lies all the time. They are mostly harmless, and eventually, we grow up to learn that they weren’t true but were nice to hear at the time. However, some lies that we are sold from older generations, the government and the media don’t go away as we age....

The Lauterbrunnental Valley in Switzerland has been my photographic dream for years. It is surrounded by mighty peaks of the Bernese Alps: Eiger (3970 m), Mönch (4107 m) and Jungfrau (4158 m). It is one of the deepest valleys in the Alps and you can admire here amazing waterfalls. There are 72 of them! The waterfall you can see in the pictures is called Staubbachfall. The water flows into the valley from almost 300 meters....

You know it’s about to be a sad one when you have to write about someone in the past tense. Another unbelievable talent gone too soon. Kobe Bryant tragically passed away in a helicopter crash in 2020, aged 41, with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna. He was more than just a phenomenal basketball player and the Los Angeles Lakers superstar. Bryant was the “Girl Dad,” a husband, writer, producer, philanthropist, and a truly inspirational figure for many....

There’s a particular kind of buzz you only feel in places where night doesn’t wrap up. Loud chatter leaks through walls, scooters and taxis keep slicing by, and every open doorway looks like an invitation. In these cities, midnight is not a finish line. Kitchens stay hot, sidewalks stay loud, and the crowd keeps moving, fueled by the mutual feeling that tomorrow can wait. Berlin is a city that pulls you into a night that keeps escalating....

Only half the year has gone by, and we have already bid farewell to some of the biggest names in music, sports, entertainment, and more. From an Oscar-winner found lifeless in a house with three bodies, to a child star who was pregnant at the time of her passing, to a musician who lost his life in a plane crash, there were grim details to some of this year’s celebrity losses....

Have you ever noticed how painstaking it is building up a reputation as it takes months if not years, but even the tiniest of mishaps will destroy it in an instant? Well, maybe it’s for the best because some impressions need to be ruined. Folks on Reddit have been sharing the fastest way someone has ruined their opinion of them—and it genuinely felt like progress in life at that point....

Some of us may take clothing for granted, especially if you’re like me and have zero fashion sense. However, dressing up in what makes you feel good can go a long way not just for you, but for those around you too. Take Lilli Durante, for example. Lilli is a 5-year-old girl from Irwin, Pennsylvania who’s suffering from optic pathway glioma, a slow-growing brain tumor that affects the optic nerves. To ease the unpleasantness that is chemotherapy and cancer treatment, little Lilli dresses up in a different princess gown every time she goes in for her treatment....

If someone asked you about your favorite subject in school, chances are you’d name math, English, science, or something practical. History, on the other hand, rarely makes the list. Yet once you look past memorized dates and dusty textbooks, human history reveals itself to be far more fascinating than we were ever taught. That’s why today we’re diving into the “Museum of Artifacts” page , where people share rare, intriguing objects from the past....

Being a big photography nerd, I often encounter meetings with different animals, both domestic and wild. And most of the time they disappear before I even get the chance to take the camera out of my bag, but then there are these special moments when I meet the less scared personalities, the cool guys making the best models. Recently I came across quite a few pictures where I got different looks from a whole bunch of animals....

I think it’s fair to say that people everywhere are losing trust – trust in the media, in our partisan and corrupted politics, in scientists, experts and even in capitalism itself. According to the Edelman Corporation, which runs an annual ‘ Trust Barometer ‘ based on the views of people in 28 countries, only one in five feels that the current system is working for them, and the one thing that unites people worldwide is an urgent desire for change....

Being a landlord comes with its ups and downs. On the one hand, you’re making cash off your property, on the other, you sometimes have to deal with tenants who don’t always hold up their side of the bargain. One NYC landlord rented out their Manhattan apartment to a middle-aged woman who seemingly had great references. Things went sideways fast, however, when the tenant quit paying rent, trashed the apartment, and fled to Australia....

Family gatherings can be loud, chaotic, and a challenge to get through. When there are kids involved, some people feel it can be even harder. In 2024, 38% of Brits said they found it hard to hear conversations around the table because of children being noisy. One woman’s solution to that problem was to ask her family members not to bring their kids to events . However, her brother disagreed, taking it as an insult to himself and his children....

My name is Dina and I tell animate stories about inanimate objects. Every object contains a kind of “folded story” inside it. Things can tell what they saw, who held them, who accidentally broke them, and who lovingly gathered up the pieces and repaired them. In every single thing there is a sense of human presence, something invisible but clear. I love that! These are some stories I found on my desktop....
