Every day, I wake up grateful that I was not born into a family with too many siblings. My sister and I are two and a half years apart, and that is absolutely perfect. When I achieved a milestone, she was only a couple of steps behind me. My mom always remarks on how my younger sister wanted to start potty training immediately after I did. It’s nice to be in similar developmental stages as your siblings instead of constantly being surrounded by baby stuff. I would be kind of irritated if my house was still filled with toys, diapers, and baby products when I was studying for the SATS or learning to drive. Young children will always need more base-level attention than their older siblings, so it’s usually better for the older kids if their siblings are closer. Of course, birth order and time can’t always be meticulously planned or controlled.

Scientists studying spherical UFO report discovery of alien technology #Paranormal

Scientists have released the first X-ray images of a mysterious spherical object found in Colombia that locals claim is of alien origin. The so-called “UFO” was spotted in March over the town of Buga, zigzagging across the sky in a pattern that defies description of conventional aircraft. The object was discovered shortly after landing and has since been analysed by scientists, who have found it to be made up of three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central core they call a “chip”, the Daily Mail reports. Radiologist Dr. Jose Luis Velasquez, who examined the sphere, said…

Divorced parents are a difficult thing for kids to deal with at any age, and often things only get more complicated if they choose to remarry. The situation doesn’t always get less confusing as they get older, either; plenty of teen angst stems from dealing with the fallout of living between houses and dealing with the drama that can ensue from parents and stepparents who seem to exist solely to make life difficult.

From a parental standpoint, there is an unfortunate number of divorced and remarried moms and dads who are more than willing to neglect their children in favor of their new lives. However, many kids understandably act up against this, especially when they are in their teens and becoming more independent and aware of the family dynamics they might be subject to that are unfair. It can be difficult to stand up to a parent who is behaving inappropriately.

26-year-old daughter cuts off family after 20+ years of parental favoritism toward her 34-year-old half-sister: ‘My parents [are] not going to change’ #Fun

Growing up as the alienated child and being given nothing but a scolding every time you complain about child favoritism breeds resentment. Children should not be treated as Kentucky Derby competitive race horses on which parents place their life savings. At the end of the day, DNA doesn’t equate to love—but it sure as heck feels bad when the person who brought you into the world gives you no tools to get started, while your half-siste,r who is nearly 10 years your senior gets everything handed to her on a silver platter. Things could always be worse, but sticking around to witness the continued favoritism sounds like an awful plan—so you get gone, instead.

The 26-year-old woman in this next story does exactly that, and for good reason. Her now-34-year-old sister, after 20+ years of clearly being the parental favorite, is back for vengeance. This time, the woman’s half-sister decides to try and hijack her new home… and the woman moves house while he parents and half-sister are away. Scroll to read.

Woman snaps at mother-in-law after she criticizes homecooked meal: ‘I feel like I finally stood up for myself’ #Fun

The kitchen can be a sensitive room in the house for many families. It is inevitable that everybody will have slightly different tastes and preferences when it comes to cooking, and being the person who has to try and cater to them all can be exhausting. It can be a challenge for even the most accomplished of chefs.

This can prove even more true when it comes to cooking for partners and in-laws. There is every chance they grew up eating a lot differently from how you did, and this has to be taken into account. 

Also, many relatives by marriage love to use things like culinary prowess to judge those who join their families, often unfairly. Meals together can quickly be turned into power trips with the wrong kinds of people, making a situation that is already a lot of work into something that is just plain unpleasant. After a point, a reaction is inevitable.

24 Spider Memes for When You Pay Rent but They Act Like Landlords #Fun

unitedyam

Do spiders come out in the spring? I genuinely don’t know, but what I do know is that I’ve had a lot of unwanted visitors in my apartment lately. They just keep appearing out of nowhere. I was at my friend’s this past weekend, and he had a whole family of spiders living in the corner of his kitchen ceiling. Like — rent-free?!? At least it inspired to write this piece. 

I am one of those stereotypical girls who is terrified of them. No matter how much I try to be cool, I can’t help my gut reaction. I won’t even k*ll them. Not because I want them to live or whatever, but because you will not catch me putting my hand that close to one. I’ve had enough jump scares trying to smoosh one with a tissue, only to miss and have it fall, vanish, and haunt my dreams for the next 5-7 business days. I’d much rather let them be. I prefer the unspoken treaty method: you don’t bother me and I won’t bother you. (Mostly because I can’t reach you anyway.)

22 Candle Memes to Light Up Your Mood #Fun

unitedyam

There’s nothing like a scented candle to lighten the mood, literally and figuratively. I have a lemon-vanilla-scented candle on my desk right now, and it’s quite literally the only thing that keeps me going when I’ve lost the will to live at work. It makes even the most mundane experience better. Even though I have five reserve candles in my cabinet just waiting to be used, I’ll still be buying the next candle that catches my eye. My reserves are out of season anyway… who wants a spruce tree candle in the summer? 

Or maybe it’s just been programmed into me because I’m part of the generation that used to frequent the mall’s Bath and Body Works in middle school just to get the latest scent. I could easily pick out A Thousand Wishes candle if my life depended on it. And they always had the deals — three for whatever. (But when they have those deals all year round, is it really a deal?)

The Funniest Animal Memes of the Week (April 26, 2025) #Fun

unitedyam

Having pets is such a weird thing to do. We literally have animals living in our home, often roaming free, and we just go about as if that’s totally normal. I know that my family’s domesticated golden retrievers who have never lived in the wild likely aren’t going to suddenly act like coyotes or wolves, but they very well could if they wanted to. I know they don’t have a fighter instinct beyond growling at teenagers walking by the house, but you never know what’s going to push them to their limit! One day, one of those teenagers might make a noise! What then? 

I just find it amusing that domesticated dogs evolved from such wild animals. Well, I guess they didn’t evolve. Some Scottish freak decided to breed dogs so much that they turned into the medically complex beings we own today. If you live with an animal and aren’t even a little freaked out by it, then these animal memes might be to your liking.

Life Beyond Earth and Manipulation of Spacetime #Paranormal

In an interview last night, I was asked two scientific questions. First, there was the news report about the discovery of the `strongest evidence yet’ of life on a distant planet, K2–18b. I was asked: “If life is confirmed there, what would be the next step? Should we try to establish some sort of contact? Generally, do you think it is a good idea to reach out to extraterrestrials once we know where they are?” I explained that the new paper is based on the JWST detection of the spectral fingerprint of a single molecule, dimethyl sulfide, in the atmosphere…

I hate picking sides in a family argument. Regardless of who comes out on top, you’re left a traitor to the other side, knowing that this alliance will come back to haunt you. But this mom in our next story picked the wrong side to align with, choosing her stepdaughter and her new husband over her biodaughter. 

Although she didn’t realize it, this mom’s choice to take care of her 19-year-old pregnant stepdaughter effectively drove away her 16-year-old daughter. However, the mom knew that the stepdaughter had tormented her kid for years, but thought that the bad mojo was behind them. Well, it certainly wasn’t—and when the stepdaughter, pregnant and bursting with new hormonal hatred for her stepsibling, chaos broke loose in the house. 

Lucky for the teen, she could take refuge at Dad’s house, fleeing from her old life to protect herself from her mortal enemy: Her stepsister. Sorry, Mom, but you made your camp on the wrong side in the hopes of getting a grandchild out of it, but you lost a biodaughter in the process.

Funniest Cat Memes for Feline Fanatics (April 9, 2025) #Fun

Cats have been domesticated for many thousands of years now, and it isn’t difficult to see why. On the feline end, they get endless food and attention, their every need catered to by their servants with opposable thumbs. Meanwhile, humans get the joy of sharing their space with a cute little furry animal that purrs and lets them pet them every so often. 

If you have a cat or several in your house, there is also the great benefit of the humor that they will likely bring to your life. No matter how seriously they take themselves, cats have a habit of being extremely funny. It’s no wonder they have had such a lasting shelf life when it comes to memes, succeeding in multiple different iterations of internet humor. Some examples of that can be found below, in all of their varied and amusing feline glory. Enjoy, cat lovers.

Anyone who grew up in a turbulent household with a lot of unfamiliar faces knows how important it is to be around familiar family who you know are looking out for you. An example of this is a family going through a divorce or even a family dealing with the absence of a family member without legal proceedings. If you grew up in your hometown always going to your grandparents’ house on Sundays, then you will struggle to reconcile with leaving them behind. Without a lot of constants in your life, you’ll end up feeling lost, uncomfortable, and yearning for the days when your mother didn’t remarry…

In this next story, a 17-year-old daughter hatches a plan to move back in with her grandparents after her mother packs them up to move away with her stepdad and stepsiblings. Though her mother might’ve thought she was doing her daughter a favor, the daughter wants to leave. It makes sense. Her mother, however, is treating her as if she has no right to her own wants and feelings. Scroll to read.

One of my biggest fears is being at a party that turns into a multi-level marketing sales pitch. Maybe you think you’re just going over to your friend’s house for some rosé and finger foods, and suddenly someone brings out a brochure. They try to make it seem all casual like they’re just asking you about what saucepans you use, and then wham you’re accidentally dropping a band just to avoid having an awkward situation with your friend. Multi-level-marketing schemes are so predatory. They rely on your relationships with others and make you exploit them for cash. It’s a quick and easy way to ruin a friendship in my humble opinion.

But what happens when someone you love is implicated in one? To what end will you go to appease their desperate cry for sales? Is it your job to get them out of there or do you just let sleeping dogs lie?

Tony Milligan: There are many home-grown problems on Earth, but there’s still time to worry about bad things arriving from above. The most recent is the asteroid 2024 YR4, which could be a “city killer” if it hits a heavily populated area of our planet in the early years of the next decade. The chances of that happening are now estimated to be around 0.001%. But there was a brief moment after the asteroid’s discovery last year when the estimated danger of a direct hit crossed the 1% threshold of comfortable risk.

25+ Memes That Are Better Than a Spa Day #Fun

unitedyam

There’s nothing like taking the day to pamper yourself. Whether you’re going all out and getting a scrub down at a day spa or you’re slapping some cream on your face in the bathroom mirror, it’s important that you treat yourself every now and again. You put so much effort into your job, into your family, into your hobbies that it’s easy to forget yourself. You wake up feeling tired and drink an extra cup of coffee to compensate, neglecting to address the underlying problems. 

What can help turn this around are rest days. Not just days when you catch up on chores and end up deep cleaning your entire house, but actual rest days. This can mean lounging in bed with a good book, getting lost in its pages, and ignoring the time of day. It can mean spending all afternoon petting your dog (he wouldn’t mind that). Or it can mean sitting back with a good list of memes.
