Food insecurity is a real issue in the US. Depending on your age, budget, and location, the kinds of food you have access to can be extremely different. In most major cities you can find a wide variety of cheap meals, and bargain prices even on healthy foods. But if you live in a more rural area, unless you are lucky enough to have a garden or farm nearby, the closest place to grab food might be a Mcdonald's or a little gas station.

Twitter user @dremilyportermd struck a conversation online about the major food price differences between her local grocery store and her local Mcdonald's. Some people support her assertions, but other people have strong counter-arguments.

Hands down, mothers-in-law have a terrible reputation. They are usually said to be nosy, judg-y, and disapproving. Most TV show and movie plotlines include some crazy mother-in-law. But it's time to talk about the other side, because let's be honest, crazy people attract other crazy people. So to every ridiculous mother-in-law, there is a father-in-law who is equally off the rails. Isn't that romantic?

This thread is in honor of all of the insane fathers-in-law out there, you make our lives equally as difficult.

It can feel extremely satisfying to tell someone to get the F* out of your face, but unfortunately, we can not use such language in every context. There might be kids around, or your mom could be watching, or maybe you're literally talking to your boss and you just know that F* off is not a logical option, even if they're pissing you off like never before.

If you've ever found yourself tongue-tied in one of these circumstances, fear not, this Reddit thread is full of polite ways to remove people from your immediate presence. Use such phrases with caution.

Ever notice a lack of women mentioned in history? Or how they were just described as *blank's* husband or *blank's* mother? Yep us too. It's almost as if they've been blatantly looked over and excluded from history books for centuries. Even today people can have a difficult time recalling significant female figures, so there was a hilarious Twitter thread where women talked about men's historical achievements with the same tone of suspicion and surprise that women's achievements are often spoken with. 

People who have not slept with a member of the opposite sex will always wonder what it's like. Whether it's because they haven't managed to get lucky yet, they swing the other way, or they choose to live a life of abstinence, it will forever remain a mystery. The only way to somewhat understand what it's like is to ask people who have had the experience, which is precisely what one TikToker did.

Marissa Wilkes created a video on TikTok, explaining, "As a woman loving woman who has never been with a guy, I'm curious. Ladies, what is it like to sleep with a guy? Especially the ladies that also like the ladies that have been with men. Please, be brutally, brutally honest." Let's just say, her followers did not disappoint. They brutally roasted men, coming up with analogies that are harsh enough to make most men crawl into their man caves and never come out again. Scroll through and read the hilarious reviews left by these unsatisfied ladies left.

As much as we may hate to admit, we all know that the sun shines down on people who are good looking. Judging people by their looks is never the right answer, but unfortunately, handsome people get further in life. People are attracted to attractive people, it's just fact. An AskReddit thread asked people what things are cool if you're handsome, but creepy if you're ugly, and the answers reveal just how much life truly favors beauty. 

We've bought you one collection of rude cross stitches that your grandma will find offensive, and this new haul is no better. They might be even more disrespectful than the first. Available on Etsy by OhWowStitch, these cross stitches with snarky sentiments sewed onto them definitely aren't the Bible quote cross stitches you'll find hanging on Grandma's wall. Warning: don't scroll down if you're easily offended.

It's a sad state of affairs when women, upon being asked what they would do if there were no men in the world for 24 hours, reply with "Go on walks at night," and "Feel safe, I guess." The fundamental human right to feel safe and protected is not a privilege that women are guaranteed, and something needs to change. A tweet went viral on Twitter, saying, "Saw a Tiktok that said, what would you do if there were no men on earth for 24 hours.. here was the comment section", followed by the sad eyes emoji, which was apropos because the comments are truly sad. Check out what women said they would do in a man-free world for 24 hours, highlighting the real lack of safety that women feel daily. Men, step it up, for the sake of humanity!

British TV music composer Nick Harvey asked is followers to share their unique daily rituals after revealing that he hides his front door keys every night so his son, who sleepwalks, doesn't inadvertently open the front door. People really took it seriously and shared all of their daily routines, but perhaps they aren't as unique as they thought. Plenty of people related to almost all of the replies, which proves that we're all a lot more similar than we might think! Here are some of the sweetest replies. How many do you relate to?

Admit it, you have a ton of questions you've always wanted to ask a member of the opposite sex, but haven't been able to. Perhaps you never have the balls (see what I did there?) to ask, or it wasn't an appropriate question, or you just don't know anyone to ask. Whatever the reason, you are not alone. Turns out, loads of people have these questions and a Reddit thread has kindly collated them all, so you can peruse through and see the answers to some of the most commonly thought of questions for the opposite sex. 

Being super-wealthy (and we're talking Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon kind of wealthy), has its perks - the most obvious being that you can buy whatever you want, whenever you want. But one of the lesser-known hardships of being one of the richest men in the world is that it's actually harder than you think to spend that sort of money. A hilarious Twitter thread by Metro UK shows just how difficult it is to spend Bezos' net worth, which happens to be $189.3 billion. Read on and laugh, and be grateful that you don't have such a struggle in your life...

We all know that getting enough sleep is crucial for living a productive life. We grow up being told to get eight hours of sleep so that we can have an effective and productive day ahead, but there is a lot more to it than that. Someone has listed all of the negative health effects caused by lack of sleep and they are, quite frankly, alarming. I know that I certainly don't get anywhere near enough sleep, but after reading this Twitter thread, things are changing as of tonight! Scroll down and educate yourselves on why sleep is so important.

Everyone loves Keanu Reeves and most people love Disney princes. So why has no one ever thought to combine the two and create the ultimate Disney prince? Well, worry not because finally, the day has come, and honestly, Disney has never been so appealing. If you love a bit of Keanu and you're partial to a Disney prince her and there, you'll love these pictures of Keanu's face that Crystal Ro has photoshopped onto some of your favorite Disney heroes. As if he could get any hotter! You. Are. Welcome. 

And when we say nonstop, we mean nonstop. Trade lawyer, @scottlincicome, tweeted "Nobody tells you parenthood is basically an infinite series of petty negotiations," and it struck a chord in many parents who then shared their own recent petty negotiations with their kids.

Redditor, u/skopein, asked a simple question in the subreddit 'r/AskReddit,' -- "Why do you like to be alive?"

That beautiful question sparked 34 thousand beautiful responses! 

If you needed a reminder as to why life is worth living, there are 20+ reasons from everyday people, just like you and I. 

Yikes. We've got some real foodisaster winners up in here! 

To be fair, cooking can rather difficult and most people should be practicing their skills (you know who you are!), 'cause practice makes perfect!

On the other hand... a lot of these just seem like common sense. 

Either way, we thoroughly enjoyed reading these and are thankful that even though we aren't that great of cooks... we know not to dump a can of spaghetti sauce into the boiling water.
