Early Black Friday deals are in full swing: Target, Best Buy, and Walmart all have their deals live already, and Amazon just put out their Black Friday plans (with some deals available now). But if you’re looking for even better deals on Blink and Ring security cameras—and some other Amazon devices—it’s Woot you want…
Target’s early Black Friday deals are already live, and one of their limited-time offers will be especially attractive to pint-size gamers (and their parents). The retailer is offering Roblox gift cards at 40% off for a very limited time—today only, in fact. From now until 2:59 a.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 10, Target is…
You have too many tabs open right now, and that’s okay: The internet is full of fascinating content that none of us can consume all at once. So all those interesting articles, videos, and memes get pushed aside for “later.”
Got a long drive ahead of you? In a car with people full of various tastes? It’s road trip season, and if you need a podcast to binge in the car, this list has you covered. You can pop in and out of short stories about family drama and scams, or buckle in for real life sagas of catfishing, CIA conspiracies, and a…

Here’s a secret: If you order something online, then later find a better deal somewhere else, extended holiday return policies make it easy to return the original item. Not all stores offer such a policy, but plenty of the big stores do. If you know the policies ahead of time, you can shop to your heart’s content…
Christmas movies have been a tradition for decades, but the days when we had to watch George Bailey try to jump off of a bridge year after year are well past us. Holiday movies are an industry in and of themselves, with dozens, if not hundreds of new seasonal offerings released starting around June. Most of them are…

Google gets a lot of traffic around the holidays, and for good reason: We use the search engine to find deals across hundreds of stores and brands, a much more efficient strategy than individually going store to store. Now, when you search for things like “shop deals,” or “shop sneaker deals,” Google will return a…
We’re still a ways out from the winter holidays, but they’ll be here before you know it—so now is the time to mark your calendars so your gifts arrive on time. The major shipping services—USPS, UPS, and FedEx—each have deadlines for sending mail and packages if you want them to arrive ahead of Dec. 25.
In a tough job market these days, it takes more than just submitting your resume for a job in order to get noticed. And at some point, we might exhaust our own network and have to go the scary route: reaching out to strangers on the internet, ideally ones who could give you a job.
Most of us do at least some (if not the majority of) our shopping online now, but there are things we give up for that convenience. You can’t actually hold the item in your hands to see if reality lives up to the product description, so we often rely on bot-infested or fake reviews. But if you consider where the item…
Cleaning can be anything from satisfying to boring to even anxiety-inducing for some, but if you put off sprucing your place up, it’ll only get dirtier and more overwhelming—a vicious cycle. While everyone is different and has their own way of getting the job done, some approaches are more decidedly more effective…
For years, the internet has insisted that you can use baby oil to polish chrome and faucet fixtures. As someone with disgusting faucets that never seem to be improved by scrubbing, I finally gave in to the pressure. The claims say it will cut through gunk and film, leaving a shiny faucet (or toilet handle or whatever…
The choreographer for the Bolshoi Ballet would still scratch their head at how to time the cooking for Thanksgiving day. Your oven and stove top are the main stage, with every single performer, from the principle dancers (your turkey) to the corps (your side dishes) all raring to dance into frame. So let’s shake it up…
It’s almost time to fall back for Daylight Saving Time, but who came up with this bizarre practice? And why? If you just answered “Benjamin Franklin” and “to help farmers,” you don’t know the real history.
Though trains were once the dominant mode of transportation in the United States, that all changed following the rise of the automobile, and later, air travel. Companies merged, routes were closed, and traveling by rail became expensive and inconvenient.
Everyone knows that buying a home is expensive as heck—but the list of extra costs associated with buying a home can be shocking. Aside from closing costs, there are home inspections to pay for, lawyer fees—and possibly private mortgage insurance (PMI).
AdGuard is an ad-blocker with built-in privacy and digital safety protections—and a lifetime subscription to their family plan is now on sale for $16.97 (reg. $129.99) through Nov. 9. The family plan covers nine devices and works on iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows.
The holiday season seems to start around June, and Christmas movies have become a mostly cozy preoccupation through much of the year. Though there’s still a bit of variety in seasonal fare, gone are the days when you watched one Christmas movie a year, and it was either about a guy trying to jump off of a bridge or a…

Dessert is always last—in eating order, but also on the priority prep list. Preparing the Thanksgiving turkey and a diverse list of sides is enough to pull the cook’s focus away from the pies on the menu. Enter, the store-bought pie crust—the fast and easy way to save yourself from the teeth-clenching stress of…
Google Chrome on iOS has finally added one of the best features of Safari—the ability to move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. When you’re using a phone with a massive display, it’s hard to reach the top of the screen to type the name of the site. If the tab bar is at the bottom, it’s much easier to reach.
Is the internet dead? Proponents of the Dead Internet Theory believe that the internet, as we understand it, doesn’t exist. It died around 2016, and since then, everything we see online, from Instagram pictures to this post on Lifehacker, has been generated by artificial intelligence and fed to consumers by a shadowy…
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…
Marcona almonds are sometimes called the “Queen of almonds” by those who believe there are nut kingdoms. They’re a Spanish variety of almond, a little flatter and squatter than the more narrow Californian almond you might be familiar with. Many of us have been teased by these sumptuous and outrageously priced nuts.…
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.
Freshly baked cookies are comfort food at its finest, and when stored properly, they should keep their integrity for close to a week. But occasionally, accidents happen. Soft cookies get left out on the table, or forgotten about on the counter, and they go prematurely stale. No one is more disappointed than me by a…

You don’t really think about how to clean your window blinds until you have to, but when you get down to it, it’s a tedious job. You probably avoid cleaning them as long as possible, but eventually, the job needs to be done. Fortunately, there’s an easy method you probably haven’t heard of.
As the temperature starts to drop and you turn your heat on for the first time, don’t ignore your ceiling fans. You can use them to your advantage throughout the winter to warm your space and save on energy—as long as they’re spinning in the correct direction.
Last year, my advice was to ignore early Black Friday deals. This made sense at the time, given economic conditions—in 2022, many retailers were overstocked due to slower spending by consumers amid an inflation-battered year and retailers looking to offload their excess supply with gradually more aggressive deals as…
You’re probably familiar with the lint trap on your dryer, and, ideally, clean it after every load of laundry. But did you know that your washing machine has a filter, too? If that’s news to you, that probably means yours has never been cleaned. But don’t worry: Once you know where to find it, it’s a pretty easy job.…
Whether Halloween is a hectic day in your household—getting people in costume, making sure the candy bowl is stocked, and putting the finishing touches on your spooky outdoor decor—or it’s just another day for you, you’re going to have to eat at some point.
By now, we should all be completely unafraid of monosodium glutamate, the umami-boosting molecule more commonly referred to as “MSG.” It will not give you headache, it will not make your arms numb, but it will inspire you to eat an entire head of roasted broccoli in one sitting. Here’s how (and why) you should use the…
Not every text message needs a written response. If someone said something funny, you hit them with a “Haha” reaction. If you’re good with a proposed plan, reaction with a thumbs up sends the same message as, “Sounds good!”
Each year, there are countless apps launched on the Google Play Store. The problem is, it’s hard to tell which are worth your time, and which are worth ignoring altogether. In my view, these are the 15 apps you need to have on your Android phone in 2023.
The FDA advisory about licorice is a few years old, but the memes about it will live on forever. “FDA issues warning about black licorice for halloween,” one headline read. And then below that, in a screenshot taken for posterity, somebody comments that the warning must have been “It tastes like shit.”
You never thought the day would come. You need skinless, blanched almonds, and you need them now. You could rush over to the grocery store and pray that they have blanched almonds on the shelf, but what if they don’t? You can easily de-skin regular almonds at home in record time with a few common household items.
Paramount+ has a handful of original titles worth watching in November. On one end is Lawmen: Bass Reeves (November 5), a Wild West drama starring David Oyelowo as the real-life Bass Reeves, the first Black deputy U.S. marshal to work west of the Mississippi. On the other is Colin From Accounts (November 9), an…

Maybe AI isn’t some passing fad—certainly every tech company is racing to add as many AI features to their products as possible, Google included. Bard is the company’s answer to ChatGPT, and it even integrates with Google products like Docs, YouTube, and Gmail.
Choosing an ethernet cable for your home network seems straightforward, but there’s more to it than you might think, especially if you don’t know what all the different names and numbers mean. If you just go with the highest numbers, you could end up spending too much money on something you don’t really need.…

If you’ve ever felt like you were duped by overpaying for something that was advertised as a “great deal,” you’re in the right place. It’s easy to get caught up in frenzied online shopping holidays like Prime Day or Black Friday, and retailers are known for sneaking price hikes before major “sales” or deceiving…
Unless you are a fan of pouring buttermilk over cornbread (a classic Southern treat), or do a lot of enriched baking (or chicken frying), you probably don’t keep liquid buttermilk stocked in your fridge. Fortunately, you can buy buttermilk powder, and access its creamy, tangy flavor without worrying about spoilage.
Keeping an eye inside and outside your home is a lot more affordable with Woot’s fall sale on Blink devices. They’re selling refurbished Blink cameras for up to 66% off, starting at $15 until Oct. 27 at 1 a.m. ET or until supplies last.

Last month, the police department of Lower Marion, Pennsylvania—located just north of Philadelphia—issued a warning to residents about a new scam. But unlike those that take place online, this scam happens in real-time and in person: More specifically, at the gas station. Here’s what to know about so-called “pump…
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…
In a sea of pumpkin-flavored foods, there simply aren’t enough pumpkin-shaped foods (actual pumpkins don’t count). In order to maximize our food’s festivity, let’s start making pumpkin-flavored dishes that also look like the cute calabasa. A handful of whole cloves and some dental floss is all you need to transform…
Black Friday falls on Nov. 24 this year, but retailers are well into releasing early deals. Here’s why you probably should be shopping these early sales this year if you aren’t already—and have a plan so you don’t overspend. Retailers are extending their sales to start earlier and go beyond the designated day after…
