Loneliness Influencers on TikTok Make Introversion Videos
The foundational mandate of being an influencer: Show people what you have that they will then want. Traditionally, the objects of envy have been material — Michelin-starred meals, Birkins, trips to Bali. In recent years, as parameters for what constitutes a digital brand have become increasingly elastic, influencers’ coveted possessions now include people: a loving spouse, adorable children, blue-blood parentage.
Why Do Cats Take Food Out of Their Bowls to Eat It?
It’s a scene familiar to many pet parents: You’ve offered your cat a special treat, maybe even some coveted “people food,” and you’re looking forward to watching them enjoy it — but instead, they pick it out of their bowl and immediately slink off to a mysterious hiding spot with it. Or maybe your cat insists on eating their whole dinner outside of their bowl, removing it piece by piece. While you might not appreciate the extra mess, your cat isn’t doing this just to be difficult.
What Is ‘Caterwauling’-and Why Do Cats Do It?
Both of my cats are extremely vocal and have a surprisingly varied repertoire of sounds, including meows, howls, chirps, and chitters. But there’s one sound I’ve never heard either of them make in all of our time together: the caterwaul. Caterwauling is a loud, unsettling yowling noise that sounds almost like a crying baby, and humans have even come to use the word to describe some of our own distressed sounds.
Can Your Cat Tell When You’re Sick?
So you’re sick. In between sniffles and naps and way too many episodes of a trashy reality TV show, you peer out of your fevered fog to notice your kitty is snuggling your feet, as if they are your nurse, hired for this exact purpose. Do they actually know you’re feeling icky, or is this show of comfort simply just a coincidence?
Your Cat Isn’t Really Comforted by Items With Your Scent on Them, Study Says
Leaving them with your old shirt is nice and all, but other things may work better. If you’ve ever purposely left behind a cozy sweater or some stinky socks for your cat to cuddle up to when you’re away from home, a study says your efforts might be in vain.
Study Says Dogs Can Recognize Human’s Faces but Cats Can’t-Why?
As an adoring pet parent, you’ve likely spent an inordinate amount of time studying the faces of your pets, and you’d probably have no trouble picking them out of a crowd. But whether your pet would be able to do the same for you is more of a toss-up. A study showed that while dogs can almost always recognize the face of a familiar human, cats appear to have little to no human facial recognition.

9 Ways You Can Tell If Your Cat Is Healthy
One of the most stressful aspects of being a cat parent, perhaps especially for those who are new to the experience, is trying to figure out whether or not they’re healthy. In addition to our interspecies language barrier, cats are notorious for displaying symptoms of illness or injury very subtly — and in some cases, they will even actively try to conceal that they’re not feeling well.

So...How Exactly Do ‘Survivor’ Contestants Poop on the Island? Original
Being a contestant on Survivor, which debuted its 46th season last week, seems like an undeniably humbling experience. You are quasi-marooned in a beautiful but remote location, stripped of all the comforts of modernity, and pushed to your physical limits. On top of that, you have next to no privacy—you’re surrounded by a crew of producers and cameramen, as well as your fellow contestants (who may or may not be conspiring against you).

Strawberries Are Supposed to Be Small
by Rachel Pick. A few weeks ago, I opened a carton of strawberries and plucked one out that was approaching the size of a lacrosse ball. Aesthetically, it seemed perfect—firm all over, and blushing scarlet right up to its dainty ring of leaves—but biting into it brought only a sense of disappointment and betrayal. There was no sweetness, no flavor that could be identified as “strawberry”; it just tasted like sour water.
The Fabricator: A look inside a one-man shop, and the mind of the man behind it
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email East Vancouver, British Columbia – His hands are holey, gloves scorched and torn. Fingers spin a fragment against the belt sander, shooting little trails of sparks. It’s an icebox in here, breath hanging in the air, but the black-clad figure doesn’t seem bothered by the cold. He moves with economy from place to place, shaping, welding, drilling, assembling, creating.
