As a woman who exercises, I find it strange to constantly come across recommendations about the best exercises “for women.” The lists are always full of unweighted exercises like bird dogs, and lightly-weighted ones like overhead presses with cute, tiny dumbbells. Meanwhile, when I work out I just...lift a thing?…

It’s natural to want to lump all our different personality traits—good or bad— into neat buckets, or “personality types.” I’m guilty of it. As someone who is always binging, whether that means eating, drinking, or watching, I’ve often described myself as having a so-called “addictive personality.” (If only that meant…

What was your first smartphone? Mine was an iPhone 3GS, a phone with no selfie camera, HD display, or flash. What it could do was run apps...a lot of apps. As the slogan went, “There’s an app for that.” Whether you’re team iOS or Android, you undoubtedly now own a smartphone, which means one day, years back, you…

The first time you do barbell squats, they can hurt. I remember using a bar pad when I first started squatting, and I couldn’t imagine doing without. These days I think nothing of getting under a bar of any weight without a pad—but I totally understand those beginner struggles. So let’s look at what you need to do…

The concept of “rich people” food has changed dramatically in the last few decades—food for wealthy folks used to be more about calories and extravagance, but now it’s more about wellness and fitness.

“WhatsApp” and “privacy” have a complicated relationship. The app is famously end-to-end encrypted, meaning your messages can only be read on your device and the devices to which you send those messages. However, the app is also owned by Meta (née Facebook), famous for harvesting and abusing user data. Nevertheless,…

As a homeowner hoping to sell your house—today or in the future—you have probably thought about the ways to increase your property value, as well as the features that actually bring the value down. Curb appeal is an obvious factor, but it turns out that a property with trees, specifically, may be especially attractive…

Getting into and out of relationships is stressful enough, but the advent of the social media age has really complicated the process in frustrating new ways. We now use the internet to find dates who, if we’re lucky, turn into real-life flings. Then we have to put time and thought into a strategy for revealing (or at…

Invariably, whenever I use coconut milk I end up with half a can more than I need. I will need a half can of coconut milk at some point in the future, but because life is cruel, it will always be two days after the leftovers have gone bad in the fridge. And the cycle repeats. To finally put a stop to the madness, I…

The internet is collectively obsessed with art-generating AIs lately, and one of the newest tools is Midjourney. And while the full version requires a monthly subscription, Midjourney is free to use for up to 25 images, and you can browse and download images made by other users even if you never sign up for a paid…

If you want to buy a house or pursue a higher education, you’ll probably need a loan. There are a lot of different loan types though, and they can be confusing. Here are the big ones that you should know about (and you should read this economic glossary, too).

I have written about mayonnaise, chicken, and mayonnaise on chicken a few times now. I like to brush it on a whole roaster to encourage browning on the skin, and use it as a breading substrate for nuggets, yet I had never tried using it as a marinade for boneless, skinless breasts, mainly because I am not in the habit…

A few months ago, I endeavored to imprint myself onto a bunch of ducks so they’d think I was their mother. It wasn’t great. All the ducks did was crap all over my house, and, my god, the constant quacking. So I’m moving onto crows. Instead of a gaggle of stupid ducklings following me around, I’m going to have a ton of…

Many people coped with quarantine with a little retail therapy. I recently asked Lifehacker readers to share the pandemic purchases that made sense at the time, but now fill them with buyer’s remorse. From roller skates, to biking equipment, to an above ground heated pool, these acquisitions felt right when we were…

Most teen dating relationships are filled with their share of drama and turmoil, but a recent study suggests your teenager might be more at risk of getting stuck in an unhealthy relationship than you thought. The Centers for Disease Control conducted a survey in 2019 that found 1 in 12 teens experienced physical…

I’ve long insisted that if you really want to show off, you should learn to make a perfect green salad. For a dish that’s so often an afterthought, a simple pile of vinaigrette-dressed greens is deceptively labor-intensive, and not for the reasons you may think. Before you can even think about dressings, mix-ins, and…

If you’ve been prescribed Adderall or its generic equivalent (amphetamine salts) and you’re having trouble getting your prescription filled lately, you’re not alone. Although the Food and Drug Administration isn’t reporting an overall shortage of the drug, consumers across the country are finding a different reality…

If you read the headline and thought to yourself, “Netflix has games?” You’re not alone. Reportedly, less than 1% of Netflix subscribers are playing these games, which likely means many subscribers aren’t aware they even exist. In fact, if you exclusively watch Netflix on your TV, you likely haven’t even seen these…
