Pop culture is like a disturbing science fiction movie this week. Young people are intentionally styling themselves as nightmarish quasi-humans, having their eyes burned at weird parties in Hong Kong, and sharing the trailer for a new Mean Girls movie.
Did you know that a significant percentage of the U.S. population has one of the less-efficient variants of the MTHFR gene? TikTokers love to say this, and it’s true. They’ll also claim that if you have a MTHFR variant, that you need special vitamins, and that the wrong vitamins (or even some medications) will be…

Google is rolling out AI features to all of its products, one after another. Bard is popping up in apps like Docs, Sheets, and Gmail, while artificial intelligence arrived on Google Maps a couple of weeks ago. Now, the AI revolution is coming to YouTube, but only to a limited group.
Welcome to Evil Week, our annual dive into all the slightly sketchy hacks we’d usually refrain from recommending. Want to weasel your way into free drinks, play elaborate mind games, or, er, launder some money? We’ve got all the info you need to be successfully unsavory.
According to Psychology Today, as many three-quarters of bereaved people report some kind of after-death communication with loved ones. This could come in the form of a dream, a feeling, a favorite song on the radio, just about anything, really. I’m going to discount the most likely and most boring explanation for…
If I’ve learned nothing else from heavy metal, horror movies, and Dungeons and Dragons, I’ve learned that demons are awesome. I want to invite as many as possible into my life to do my bidding and compete in fiddle contests. I’m sure you do, too, so I’ve prepared a step-by-step guide to summoning otherworldly…

When it comes to common household tasks that require a lubricant, many people reach for products like petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline), cooking oil spray, or WD-40. And while they’re often effective—at least temporarily—some projects could benefit from silicone grease. Here’s what to know about the lubricant and when…
Many finance-related goals can be at least partially automated. While I generally caution against leaning on AI in personal finance, most money-saving apps are essentially like robo-advisors. That is to say, they have their limitations, but they have some major upsides as well. For the most part, these apps are…
It’s getting near Halloween, when the veil between the living and the dead grows thin, so I traveled to a notoriously haunted picnic table during a solar eclipse to find ghosts with my iPhone.
Japanese soufflé pancakes are fluffy, impressively tall, entirely Instagram-able, and they taste great to boot. You don’t have to go to a restaurant to have your own towering breakfast cake. Soufflé pancake batter isn’t all that different from regular pancake batter; it’s the slow cooking time that makes the process…
If you don’t live in a sunny climate where cannabis grows well without much intervention—in other words, if you live in most of the country—you can be forgiven for not trying to grow your own weed.
The French lean pretty heavily on butter—and we let them, because they do wonderful things with it. Beurre blanc, for example, is a sauce made with a shallot-infused wine and vinegar reduction, a healthy slug of cream, and two whole sticks of butter. Of course it tastes good—all creamy, tangy, and rich—but you can…
AI is everywhere, and it’s only going to continue taking over our lives. You don’t even need to download anything AI-specific in order to try it out for yourself. In fact, you can do it right from Instagram. Meta is now rolling out its AI chatbots to its various products—including Instagram, WhatsApp, and…

I’m not being hyperbolic when I say salt is the most important seasoning of all time. It makes things taste salty, sure, but it also makes things taste like better versions the themselves, and more importantly, salt is a powerful preservative and natural anti-microbial. Long before refrigeration—all the way back to anc…
I can say without fear of contradiction that this Saturday’s game between USC and Notre Dame will be the most dramatic football contest since Knute Rockne’s inspirational “win one for the Gipper” halftime speech in 1928.
People with disordered eating and body image issues can often trace their experience to an early childhood doctor’s appointment when their weight or size was characterized as a problem to solve. And whether you were prescribed diets as a child or not, you are right to want to protect your own children from the shame…
If you’re looking for a new vacuum and the Dyson cordless vacuum deals don’t tickle your fancy (or fit into your budget), consider a serviceable knockoff. These Dyson dupe vacuums, are about half the price of the “real thing” during Amazon’s October Prime Day sale. They may not have the fancy branding, but they have…
Melted butter, without modification or adornment, makes a pretty damn good sauce, but whisking it with a little hot water makes it silkier, clingier, and, surprisingly, creamier. The resulting sauce has a fancy French name—beurre monté—but this simple emulsification can be whipped up by home cooks of any skill level.
You’ve heard of “long COVID,” but COVID isn’t the only illness that can cause lasting symptoms. Other respiratory infections, including colds, flu, and pneumonia, seem to sometimes trigger a “long” version as well.
I have a strange recurring nightmare wherein I slice up a turkey breast, take a photo of the slices, and publish the photo in a blog, only to realize that I sliced the meat in the wrong direction, with the grain. Then everyone—both in the comments and on Twitter—ridicules me for violating this basic meat-eating rule,…
“Activation” exercises are often recommended at the beginning of workouts. You might get the idea—whether from random TikToks or from a trainer you pay for their expertise—that activations are necessary to get your muscles firing correctly and able to take advantage of the workout to come. That’s not exactly true,…
You’d think we all have enough stress, but we still love those heart-pumping thrillers—whether they’re the quiet, suspenseful kind or the big action spectaculars. It might be simply that the things that get our hearts racing in real life are more often like “wow, look at this medical bill,” so a spy movie, a…

Feeling unhappy and unfulfilled at work is one thing: Knowing what to do instead is something else completely. At this point, most people probably realize that there’s no such thing as a “dream job,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the only other option is sticking with a job you hate. The hard part (well, one…
It’s a universal rule of finance: If you’re seeking a short-term loan to cover an emergency expense, you’re not in a good place, financially speaking. But since most of us have very little savings in the bank, most of us aren’t in a good place financially. So when an emergency expense comes up, the only options are…
We use the umbrella term “science fiction and fantasy” all the time—but, in truth, these are twin genres that each contain multitudes. An SFF movie might be a big, loud, alien invasion blockbuster; a bloody sword-and-sorcery epic; or a quiet, reflective fable. What these movies all have in common is the imagination to…

We’ll never say no to free coffee, and there’s plenty to go around this week: National Coffee Day falls on Friday, Sept. 29, and International Coffee Day comes just two days later on Oct. 1. Here are a few deals to take advantage of.
Are you suddenly seeing delta-9 THC products on the shelves in bars, gas stations, or convenience stores near you? Since when has 7-11 been a dispensary, and is the product on display at all similar to what’s sold in a licensed cannabis dispensary? The current confusion can be traced back to one key moment in the…
Max’s October slate includes the second season of the 19th-century period piece The Gilded Age (October 29), as well as season two of the 18th-century pirate drama Our Flag Means Death (October 5).
