There are a ton of great free workout programs out there, and they’re not too hard to find, especially once you start browsing fitness forums like the ones on Reddit. But even when these programs are free, there are still barriers to getting started, like figuring out how to get a program from a spreadsheet into your…

I’m generally in favor of humanity bending mother nature to our will, but when it comes to breeding dogs, we’ve gone too far (OK, also with regard to climate change).

No matter how hard they tried, the killjoys and technophiles of the world simply could not kill off vinyl records. Every time a new audio technology hit the market, predictions of the Death of Vinyl would follow—and when Compact Discs arrived 40 years ago, it seemed like that death had finally come. Who wouldn’t want…

Have you ever been enjoying a sleeve of Oreos when someone decides to chime in with the fact that, actually, a serving size is only three cookies? We hear about “serving sizes,” “portions” and often “portion control” all the time, but what do they actually mean? Is there a meaningful difference, or do they all end up…

Tarts are the rich, European great-aunt of the American dessert pie. Dainty, refined, understated, and a little pretentious, usually boasting ingredients so rich that a tiny sliver is all you need. You can bet that the scalloped crust of such a tart is super tender and crumbly, too. Besides flavor and texture, part of…

Reddit is one of the few social media websites that allows you to develop full-fledged apps for the service. That’s why you’ll find lots of high-quality Reddit apps on the App Store and the Google Play Store. And in many ways, these third-party apps are better than the official Reddit experience.

Another month, another Chrome update. This time around, we get Chrome 98, which will be rolling out today, Feb. 1 to Chrome users everywhere. Once updated, you can take advantage of fun new features and changes, like a built-in screenshot tool and upgraded emojis. Some changes, however, won’t be obvious out of the…

If I’m not careful, the late afternoon “hangries” have a way of sneaking up on me during that in-between time when lunch is a distant memory but it’s not yet time for dinner. When it happens, rather than taking some extra time to prepare a healthy snack, I find myself rummaging through the cupboards in search of…

“Cuck” remains a common insult these days, though it really peaked as a pejorative around 2016 or so. It’s one of those words that has kind of lost its meaning and is now used any time a person wants to convey that someone else is somehow a “beta”—secondary to or beholden to something or someone. But what if you’re…

Like human children, your canine kids are not immune to cuts, burns, sprains, and other injuries, ranging from very minor to life-threatening. Because dogs can’t actually tell us what hurts and how much, it’s up to us to be on the lookout for issues and know how to manage them. This includes having first aid supplies…

Your accent says a lot about you: It tells someone where you were raised, hints at your ethnicity, and gives out clues about your social class and economic circumstances. Even though the details of your life obviously change long after your accent is “set,” there is still a lot people can guess about you from the way…

Last week we asked you what you wish you had known before adopting your pet, and as always, Lifehacker readers delivered. (I also asked for some cute pet pictures; sadly, you did not deliver nearly as many of those as I would have liked).

Buying games from an online marketplace like Steam has a lot of advantages. It’s instant, there are frequent discounts, and the data is a lot easier to manage. But it has one major downside: You can’t lend your copy to a friend, and you can’t borrow a game from a family member.

We all have some gross personal habits, if we’re honest enough to admit them. We may smack our gum, or belch when (we think) no one’s listening; we may even dig for nasal gold once in a while when the winter crusties are upon us and a tissue just won’t cut it. But nothing—nothing—can come close to the gross habits of…

I have never believed there is a “best way” to cook any particular food. I have my favorites, and recognize that some techniques are more effective than others, but there is no one, perfect way to fry an egg. (There are at least eight.)
