Online dating apps, pornography, advertising, and the continued existence of the human race all testify to a healthy, ongoing interest in sex among human beings, despite the fact that millennials appear to be having less of it.

The Last Photo Cassini Took Was Its Forever Home on Saturn

For those who’ve followed NASA’s Cassini mission these past 20 years, it’s still a bit hard to believe it’s gone.

If You Have Gigantic Ears No One Will Know You Bought These $50 Knockoff AirPods

Not everyone can afford to spend $219 on a pair of wireless in-ear headphones.

It’s Too Cute Watching Arya and Sansa Struggle to Stay Serious During Game of Thrones Filming

The newest installment of HBO’s Game of Thrones behind-the-scenes series, The Game Revealed, looks at the long-awaited Stark reunion—well, one of them anyway (sorry Bran!)

Here’s a Funny YouTube Bug I’ve Been Playing With All Morning

I was just trying to sleep. Unlike Netflix with its hated “are you still watching” (yes, yes I am) popover, YouTube’s autoplay function will theoretically play forever, making it something of a godsend for the chronically overstimulated trying to get some shuteye. Last night, I decided to give it a try, wondering what video I’d…
