These days, technological marvels seem to pop up faster than you can say “Abracadabra!” Standing at the edge of innovation, even our smartphones become outdated before we even finish setting up our voicemail. And guess who’s leading the charge? None other than artificial intelligence, or AI, a digital wiz that’s both the apple of your eye and the monster under your bed. AI, the ultimate multitasker, can do things that usually require a human brain – like telling jokes (bad ones), understanding what you’re saying (even when you mumble), making life-altering decisions (like deciding which Netflix movie to watch), and deciphering languages (so you can finally understand your cat’s meows).…

Speed Eating It's not just for breakfast anymore!
“I’m on that new diet where you eat everything in under three minutes, then spend the rest of the night wondering if that was really a meal.” In a world where diet advice comes as fast as food in a drive-thru, could the secret to weight loss be as simple as eating your meals at warp speed? The concept of Speed Eating is leaving researchers breathless with excitement and skepticism. Recent studies suggest that Speed Eating — inhaling your food at a pace comparable to a vacuum cleaner at a confetti factory — might be the unsung hero in the battle against the bulge and blood sugar spikes.

A Son’s Letter from School Including Endnotes
Dear Mom and Dad, I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and happiness. I’ve been at MIT for a few weeks now, and boy, do I have a lot to tell you. First of all, the workload is insane! I spend around 30 hours a week just on problem sets[1]. Can you believe it? And that’s just for calculus! The problems involve integral and differential calculus, concepts I thought I had mastered but now seem far more complicated[2]. In Intro to Biology, the lab work involves extracting DNA and then there’s a midterm on cellular structures[3]. You’d think they were training us to clone dinosaurs or…

Confessions of a Burned-Out Life Coach I’m too tired to think of a flashy sub-title
Ah, life…that grand old waltz we all stumble through with the grace of an elephant on roller skates. It’s a constant uphill battle. Everyone’s trying to grab their piece of the pie while spouting off inspirational quotes as if they’re some sort of magical cure-all for the drudgery of existence. Well, let me tell you something, bucko: life is about as easy as herding cats in a fish market. That’s right. And the sooner you learn that the grindstone doesn’t play favorites, the sooner you’ll get a taste of life’s bitter fruit. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to rain on your parade. I’ve just been around the…

ChimpMingle.com I'm looking for a female in heat. Are you out there?
Hi ladies. My name is Mr. Gonhorrhea. Well, that’s not my real name. ChimpMingle told me to make up a catchy alias for my dating profile that describes something interesting about myself, so I went with that. I’m new to this whole online dating thing. I much prefer picking out a female in heat and climbing onto her backside. But, my therapist told me if I ever wanted to make it outside of the rainforest and make something out of myself, I’d have to refine my approach to dealing with chimps. That’s why I’m here on ChimpMingle.com. We spent our days taunting the gorillas and orangutans next door, digging out…
