You’ve probably heard that strong, small magnets are dangerous for children. You would not give a toddler a neodymium magnet for any reason; you know that two of them, if swallowed, can connect inside their body, potentially causing severe injury. And yet, according to a recent survey presented to the American Academy…

The days when an ordinary person could identify a fake Rolex easily are gone—there are no simple giveaways like a ticking second hand instead of a smoothly sweeping one. “Modern fake watches are frankly terrifying,” said Matt Chapman, a Los Angeles-based vintage watch restorer and self-described horological nerd.…

Welcome to Training Diaries, a Lifehacker series about my journey to the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon. This series will cover all the ups, downs, and hill repeats on my journey to the biggest marathon in the world. Leading up to race day on Sunday, Nov. 5, I’ll go over proper fueling, injuries and setbacks,…

Black Friday usually comes with a lot of hype and build-up despite its mildly depressing history. If you don’t take the right approach and prepare, you can make some rookie mistakes and end up being exploited by retailers rather than the other way around. Luckily, we already have an idea of what to expect this Black…

If you want to live in a newly constructed house, you have two choices: You can buy a finished home from a builder, or you can have one built from scratch. Either choice can be incredibly expensive: The cost of building a new house in the U.S. ranges quite a bit, with $332,397 being the national average, but the final…

I’m not a big Starbucks fan. Not because it’s a big corporation (or anything similarly noble), but because I live in Brooklyn, and without really trying, became something of a bougie coffee snob. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a candy-like, foamy PSL in the fall. Since I drink coffee at an alarming rate, I started…

While being surrounded by clutter in your home can feel chaotic and overwhelming, much of it can probably simply be discarded. How much of your kid’s old artwork really needs to be kept forever? There’s nothing of value in that stack of junk mail. And what do all the cords in that drawer even do? I’m not saying it’s…

Thanksgiving dinner is not complete without stuffing (or dressing). It’s a humble, somewhat silly dish. You dry out some bread, make it wet again, then dry it out one more time, but the result is undeniably delicious—assuming the broth you used is, itself, delicious. For the best stuffing, you should focus on the…

You have a big test or project looming, but can’t seem to force yourself to prepare for it at all. You’ll even do other things—like clean your room or call your family—that you normally hate, just to put off studying. You might think you’re just avoiding work, but you’re probably procrastinating for a real reason, and…

With October Prime Day in the rearview mirror, many retailers are already prepping for Black Friday. The shopping frenzy with a controversial and depressing history falls this year on Friday, Nov. 24. However, retailers extending their sales to start earlier and go beyond the designated day after Thanksgiving have…

I’ll admit it: I’ve gone through a partner’s phone to catch them being unfaithful. But while I scoured their texts for proof of infidelity, I didn’t think to also head on over to their banking apps for a different kind of cheating: financial infidelity. Now, I can’t endorse the sort of privacy violations that I’m…

North Carolina and Virginia are scheduled to play in an Atlantic Coast Conference game on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023 at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The game is scheduled for kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET.

The beauty of the internet is that every once in a while, someone asks a totally innocuous question and people chip in with answers that can potentially change the reader’s life. This time, someone on Reddit asked about apps that are so good that it’s hard to believe they’re free. The responses highlighted lots of…

From the earliest days of cinema history, cartoons were never just for kids, and it’s important not to confuse the medium with a genre. Animation has produced movies that are charming, romantic, harrowing, musical, magical, dystopian, funny...and pretty much every other adjective you might use to describe a story that…

Inspiration comes from unexpected places this week—places like an Indian restaurant in Bowling Green, Kentucky and TikTok’s recommendation algorithm. Young are people doing it for the plot, wallowing in their own filth, and debating whether Gollum or King Kong stars in the worst video game of the year.

I don’t get a thrill from dressing up in Halloween costumes anymore, but I look forward to all of the silly “scary” food that crop up. Peeled grapes become monster eyeballs, ground Oreos transform into graveyard dirt, spaghetti somehow turns into a bowl of worms, and blackened chicken wings are re-branded as “bat…

My “fall leaf philosophy” has changed a lot over the years, from laissez-faire due to disinterest, to a deeply held responsibility to bag every last leaf, to mulching all the leaves for compost, and finally landing right back where I started. While I personally hold that leaves are best left where they fall (for the…

For whatever reason, I hate-follow a bunch of keto-focused influencer accounts on Instagram. They’ll lure me in with a bunch of meat, then hit me with a bell-pepper-as-bread “sandwich,” a monstrosity I have been familiar with since the Weight Watching days of my very early 20s. They’re also obsessed with…
