When we see incomprehensibly large objects at sea, in space, or flying through the sky, it can be difficult to truly grasp their enormity. That’s why college student Kevin Wisbith created an educational series called “A Quick Perspective.” His images give you a fresh sense of perspective and scale by juxtaposing objects you’d never find side by side. In the slideshow above, GOOD highlights a few of images from his project, including the Titanic, a B-2 Bomber, and the Death Star from Star Wars.

Neuroscientist reveals the 3 dead giveaways someone is pretending to be smarter than they really are

Getting information through quality conversation can be enjoyable or a struggle. Figuring out solutions and fielding valuable expert opinions can be difficult to discern when the person you’re talking to (or debating with) seems suspect. Fortunately, a neuroscientist online has laid out what to look out for to see if your conversation partner is actually intellectual or just talking out of their…well, you know.

Neuroscientist turned musician/comedian Alex Riordan discussed how to spot pseudo-intellectuals and how they differentiate themselves from actual intellectuals. For Riordan, who spends ample time with his colleagues at Princeton University as well as his degree-less intellectual friends (because you don't need to go to college to be intelligent), he's identified three signs that helped him separate the fake-it-til-you-make-its from actually thoughtful individuals.

She was thrilled to date a Harvard grad until the restaurant he chose had her heading home in less than an hour

A degree from an Ivy League university suggests intelligence, but as one woman recently discovered, it doesn't guarantee common sense—or basic manners.

Jezabel, an attorney who posts on TikTok as @jezacat, recently shared a first date horror story that has racked up over 7.5 million views. The date was with a graduate of Harvard Business School, but despite his prestigious credentials, he failed the most basic test of modern dating: logistics.

Therapist explains 'Admin Nights' hack for turning tedious 'to do' lists into a brilliant game night

It can be hard to commit to the routines of exercise, housekeeping, and the other to-dos of your day-to-day life, but for many people the hardest part is the “household admin work.” This is the boring, drudging, and often bureaucratic tasks of answering emails, paying bills online, cancelling subscriptions, making appointments, etc. But what if you could make it a party?

This concept has led to a growing trend called “Admin Nights” in which people gather their friends together for snacks, drinks, and hanging out while working on administrative household tasks. Admin Nights have quickly turned the chore of household admin work into a weekly or monthly chill hangout with friends.

'Magical' clip showing octopus communicating with scientist is just incredible

Octopuses are often described as "alien." As marine biologist Dr. Alex Schnell explains, the description fits. "They're just so alien—they have three hearts that pump blue blood, no bones, and skin that can change color in an eye-blink," she recently told Newsweek.

But as the National Geographic series Secrets of the OctopusSecrets of the Octopus reveals, these creatures are far from unfeeling. A clip from the show highlighting Schnell's "magical experience" is capturing the public's imagination, revealing an intelligence that rivals more familiar mammals.

Hospital staff breaks out X-ray machine in Hail Mary to save woman's missing wedding rings

Most people have lost an item or accidentally left something behind, like their car keys, phone, or purse. But for Susan Sinnwell, a simple medical visit to a local Iowa hospital turned into a trash treasure hunt for her grandparents’ wedding rings. When all seemed lost, hope was found, along with the rings, thanks to a portable X-ray machine.

Sinnwell was visiting Grundy County Memorial Hospital for an X-ray and removed her grandparents’ wedding rings for the procedure. It wasn’t until the day after her visit that she realized the rings she had wrapped in a napkin were missing. She then realized she accidentally tossed the wrapped napkin with the heirloom rings into a trash bin before leaving the hospital.

Doctor says 'temptation bundling' can help cement good habits and make chores enjoyable

Forming good habits and sticking to them requires time, dedication, and consistency. Anyone who has tried to stick to a New Year's resolution, health plan, or other self-improvement goal knows it is not easy. You would probably rather spend your time catching up on your favorite reality TV show, playing games on your phone, or doing something you would actually enjoy. Well, one doctor and her peers say, "Why not do both?"

On social media, Sohee Carpenter, a fitness coach with a PhD in sports science and an MS in psychology, recommended a technique known as "temptation bundling," which pairs less enjoyable habits or chores with something you enjoy to make them easier to complete.

Parents told rent-paying daughter to move out. But then they realized everything actually belonged to her.

When a tenant moves out, they generally take their property with them. Apparently, one set of parents didn't get that memo.

A 25-year-old woman recently took to Reddit (u/TAMovingout) to share a satisfying story of malicious compliance. After her parents asked her to move out so they could have "alone time," they were shocked to discover that the luxury features of their home were leaving with her.
