Don’t be such a homophoneophobe!

I was thinking the same thing. The driver certainly deserves to be compensated for the extra time spent, and that money has got to come from somewhere.

Now, Uber has backtracked on the sky-high fair

For sure, I agree -- this is absolutely for when you’re away -- they don’t mean for me to be watching Netflix two rooms over while the WalMartian stocks my fridge for me.  But even then, I’d rather just schedule a delivery time when I’m home and put it away myself.

If it’s the same shopper all the time, allowing you to get to know each other and build a rapport, then it doesn’t seem so bad — not all that different from allowing a housekeeper into your home while you’re not around. But I’m sure that’s not how the system works and you wind up getting some random ex-con every time.

The competition is fierce for the title of “stupidest and most irresponsible post on Lifehacker.”

Probably safer to just get one of those lion mane wigs for your golden retriever instead.

Buffets! Just rows and rows of food left out for who-knows-how-long just waiting for little kids to grab with their grubby bare hands and for old people to sneeze and cough all over. I thought for sure that our collective recognition of germs would do in these barnyard feed troughs for humans for good, but they are…

More impressive is how the person pictured with the car went on to become the host of Jeopardy!

Listening is so vitally important when talking with children and adults alike. Whenever I have to talk to a child or an adult who I don’t really know very well, I try to act like a talk show host and just guide the other person to topics that they find interesting rather than harping on some preplanned talking points…

I liked the shuttle when I first heard about it as a kid. Recycling was hip back in the ‘90s, and the concept of a reusable spacecraft (External Tank excepted) was appealing. The more I learned about it, though, the more disappointed I became. Reading about all of the promises that it made but couldn’t keep (launch…

Well then, by all means let’s give Starbucks a gold medal for doing the absolute minimum. While we’re at it, let’s congratulate all the people who actually stop at redlights and who wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

I’ve heard this sentiment about the latest variant, but I also heard it when Delta was swirling around... and I heard it over a year ago with Original Recipe, so it’s tough to know what’s real and what’s hyperbole. It doesn’t sound too far-fetched when we’re talking about a highly contagious airborne virus, though.

Considering the quantity of millennial ladies currently hanging on the arms of dudes who look a lot like him, I suspect such crushes were quite common in the ‘90s.

Thanks.  That’s what I thought.  Kind of weird that Starbucks is making a big deal about it since it applies to pretty much every business. 

Why is Starbucks being highlighted specifically here? If they’re simply complying with the federal requirement, wouldn’t the same be true for every large business in the country?

How to avoid wasting gift cards: Use them!  Incredible lifehack!

In this condition, it’s more like the queen of the trailer park.

I can’t remember if it was describing Kobe or Wagyu, but I once read about some fancy expensive Japanese beef that was so crazy expensive because of rules regarding how the cows were treated. The rules included simple things like ample pasture space for grazing along with wackier sounding things like the cows being…
