Here’s What the Holes in Pizza Boxes Are For

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
Have you ever thought about the strange things that we just accept as totally normal? Like, for example, that we can join the army at 18 years old, but we can’t rent a car until we’re 25? Or the fact that we show appreciation or joy by just slapping our hands together really hard (aka clapping)? These facts, when you think too hard about them, only seem to become more bizarre.Another to add to the list: When we get pizza as takeout or delivery, …Read Article

Here’s What Would Happen If You Try Opening the Emergency Exit Door Mid-Flight

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
Every time you fly, you sit through the same safety demonstration, where flight attendants explain how to put an oxygen mask over your face and use your seat cushion as a flotation device. They also gesture toward the emergency exits—typically one in the front and one in the rear of the aircraft. Most of the time, there isn’t a reason to think about these emergency doors for the rest of the flight.But perhaps you’re curious about what happens wh…Read Article

Here’s How Bobby Pins Really Got Their Name—And Whether There Was a Guy Named Bobby

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
If you’re like me, you’ve owned approximately 6,821 bobby pins in your lifetime and currently know the location of … two. I know for sure one is in my car’s cup holder. The other one is probably lodged deep in my couch cushions, next to an Easter egg I hid too well in 2016. But while I used to think of bobby pins as just tiny tools to keep hair flyaways in check, it turns out these metal doodads have a pretty wild backstory. Who invented them? W…Read Article

Revealed: Americans’ Top 10 Everyday Annoyances—And What It Tells Us About the State of Our Country

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
As a New Yorker of more than three decades, I’m not easily rattled or irked—I’ve truly seen it all. But there’s one thing that kind of gets my goat: slow walkers. Whether they’re native city dwellers or tourists from afar, bodies that clog the sidewalk while ambling at a snail’s pace can send me into a tizzy.My quick fix is to simply zip past these strollers to get where I’m going, and I strive to breathe deeply (thanks, yoga!) when I see pokey …New York City · New YorkRead Article

Here’s the Punctuation Mark Gen Z Wants You to Stop Using—And It’s Not What You Think

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
Punctuation marks may be small, but they carry a lot of weight—shaping tone, clarifying meaning and even signaling the writer’s personality. I adore the em dash; I tend to be a bit of a drama queen and employed them long before someone decreed they were a sign of AI-generated content. And, I find there’s no more satisfying way to make your point than to put a simple period on it.But one punctuation mark, once a favorite of authors and scholars, …Lawrence, Kansas · LawrenceRead Article

Here’s the Dish Americans in Each State Would Choose for Their Last Meal

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
People love to speculate, to play games of “what if” and “would you rather,” and some of the most fun versions of that game involve food. Would you rather eat only spicy food or only sweet food for every meal? If you could eat only one thing for breakfast for the rest of your life, what would it be? And, of course, the ever-popular one: If you could choose your last meal on Earth, what would it be?Well, the folks at Choice Mutual, an insurance a…United States · United StatesRead Article

Here’s Why So Many Hotel Showers Have Just Half a Door

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
You step into your hotel shower and notice something’s missing—namely, half the door. What starts off feeling chic can quickly turn into a wet-floor hopscotch situation. And those who like their showers steamy may find themselves doing the keep-away-the-draft dance.Still, this half-glass look is showing up in hotels of all kinds, from boutique to big brand. So what gives? It’s not just about looks—it’s a calculated (and surprisingly clever) choi…Japan · JapanRead Article

Here’s Why Ice Cubes in Restaurants Have Holes

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
When I worked as a waitress, the ice machine was a constant source of awe, entertainment and sometimes low-key horror. It was a modern marvel that could instantly turn a tepid Pepsi into a frosty refreshment—when it worked, that is. Which was … not always. One restaurant I worked at even got a German cockroach infestation inside the machine, which meant we occasionally served drinks with frozen bonus critters that thawed, then crawled out to say…Boulder, Colorado · BoulderRead Article

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
Josh Gad is a Tony-nominated actor who’s delighted audiences of all ages for the past 20 years—from his hilariously irreverent role in The Book of Mormon to his memorable performance as Olaf, everyone’s favorite snowman, in Disney’s Frozen.
