There’s a video going viral on TikTok this week in which user MandyVJones explains how you can make a drink that tastes just like Coke, but is good for you. All you need to do is mix a splash of balsamic vinegar with sparkling water, add some ice, and enjoy.

With the rising costs of fuel and labor paired with unprecedented inflation, flight ticket prices this summer have become nothing short of astronomical. That’s why people planning to vacation right now are looking for any way to save money on air travel. A tactic that’s become popular over the last few years for…

There are two distinct types of Claire Lower blogs: Those that contain normal, helpful, explainers and fun little tips (blogs you can send to your mom without explanation); and those that are a little bit fucked up. The latter is easy to spot. Such a blog will have a headline that makes you go, “I bet Claire wrote…

All day, every day: It’s stress o’clock. While all you might want to do is push away your worries, if you really want to get a sense of control, you need to tackle them with intention. To accomplish this, set aside a designated time to do nothing but stress. Here’s what to know about taking an effective “worry break,”…

I will never turn my nose up at a mayo-dressed picnic salad—be it chicken, egg, tomato, or broccoli—but I get downright excited if I see a good brocc salad at a potluck. My favorite broccoli salad is slightly kitschy: It’s got mayo (of course), but also bacon, red onion, cheddar cheese, a splash of red wine vinegar,…

There are plenty of things we use or engage in as children that have entirely practical applications once you’ve ‘grown up.” Exhibit A: Night lights, those little lights you plug into the wall, soaking a room or hallway with dim, soothing light. Night lights are usually associated with little kids who are scared of…

You know that song. You know the chorus, the beat, that solo, even that insane drum fill. You know that song, but you have no idea what it’s called. It happens all the time: Whether it’s a track you heard on the radio, or one a friend introduced you to years ago, there is music stuck in your head that you cannot…

The new browser lets you run both Google Chrome extensions and Firefox add-ons, while claiming not to sacrifice your privacy. Orion is based on WebKit, the browser engine used by Safari on Mac and…

If you’re leaving the country this summer, there are two things you should do ahead of time. First, make sure the tourist destination you’re visiting isn’t overrated. Second, make sure you exchange currency before you leave the country. I understand that when traveling abroad, the checklist of things to do can be both…

There’s nothing new about sex parties. Bonobos have been holding orgies since before people even existed, and the earliest evidence of human group sex dates back to cave people attending Neolithic fertility festivals. Sex parties were an annual springtime tradition in ancient Egypt, and don’t get me started about how…

If you’re anything like me, you keep most of your kids’ copious artwork in one of three places: In an oversized plastic bin to be organized “one day” in the future, temporarily displayed so your child feels proud and validated, or the trash. Though you’re riddled with guilt every time you toss that “thunderstorm”…

The iPhone is great for capturing videos, but you might run into some issues when it comes to compatibility. If you recorded a video and want to send the raw files to a friend who uses Android or Windows, it might not play on their device if it’s encoded in Apple’s new HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) format, or…

Our entire economy would collapse if everything retained its value after we bought it, but that doesn’t make it any easier to look at the nearly worthless computer I paid top dollar for a decade ago. Used things losing their value may be necessary for capitalism to function, but it can still be stunning how quickly…

You really can’t go anywhere on the internet without running into lists of the 17 or 25 best mosquito repelling plants, or mosquito repelling plants that are good in the shade, or that are nontoxic to dogs, or whatever. It seems like people only want to talk about mosquito repelling plants, and never stop to think:…

From Spotify’s year-end Wrapped to the numerous apps that categorize your music library, showing off your favorite musical artists and genres is half the fun of using the streaming music platform.

Earlier this week I asked you for your unwritten rules of driving etiquette. After all, we could all be a little bit better drivers. Out of the nearly 200 comments, three major topics sprung up again and again:
