@annabelnorthlewis   Do Friendship Apps Work? One Man Swiped to Find Out Asking for a friend… A friend that we totally already have and don’t need an app to find. A friend that’s moving to a new city in a couple of weeks. A friend that hasn’t had to make a new friend in a while because his core group has been the same for the last decade.  Okay. It’s us. We’re the friend. Do the apps work or not?   What Dreams Are Made Of [Partner]  Beam’s Dream Powder is a delicious nighttime blend full of ingredients designed to make you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Something a little harder to crack than ip-pay atin-lay. A group that would become known as the Navajo Code Talkers made it happen.  Sometimes, your past is your greatest strength.   To Make Sure Grandmas Like His Don’t Get Conned, He Scams the Scammers Get into a safe position. Here comes a truth bomb. Americans lost a record $12.5 billion to internet crimes last year, according to the FBI's latest annual report, marking a 22% jump from 2022. And the bureau says that number is likely higher because so many crimes go unreported. So when we say this guy is a superhero to us all, we mean it.  He’s dedicating his life to scamming scammers in his grandma’s honor.   The Case for Stopping Efforts to Contact Aliens We’re not the type to squash alien dreams. So here’s our best impression of someone who wants us to stop looking for aliens. Ready? What if the aliens you’re trying to contact want to kill us? What if it’s a complete waste of time because we have absolutely zero shared context with aliens? Plus, you look ridiculous in that tin foil hat. Take that off.  How’d we do?   The Mixer Your chance at seeing an exploding star. The hilarious reason why Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay about farting in 1781. The new airline that will fly your dog internationally on a private jet. The death of the dining room. The hikes that give you close-up views of the Hollywood sign. How long it takes for a great white shark to cross an ocean. What we could learn from camels.
