TRY THIS PANCAKES HACK! _ Someone on reddit asked, “Why do people stack their pancakes instead of spreading them out on the plate?” The responses weren’t all that exciting, but one commenter offer up his favorite pancakes hack: “What you do is take your butter knife and stab the stack through the center, then twist the knife around to hollow out the center.

50 PERCENT OF EMAILS AND TEXTS ARE MISUNDERSTOOD _ Here’s proof we have to be extra careful with our words when sending texts and emails. A study found that while we think others understand our messages 90 percent of the time, the actual statistic is only 50 percent. Why do people misinterpret so frequently?
