Fat will kill you, fat is great for you. Sugar is the devil, actually salt is the devil. Fruit is good for you, nope fruit is terrible.

But the one rule that everyone knows, the totally unquestionable truth: eating a big bowl of carbs will make you sleepy?

One of the biggest problems in life is getting home after a long day’s slog to realise that there’s no wine in the house.

If only you had a wine delivery subscription, you think. But you’re not there to take in deliveries during the day and you don’t trust your good-for-nothing neighbours when it comes to taking in precious cargo. And as for getting the postman to leave boxes of wine by your bins…don’t even go there.

If you thought the story of a dad who takes his little girl out on a monthly ‘date’ is cute, then I’ve got news for you.

It’s not. It’s creepy. And what’s more, it’s symptomatic of the poisonous ways that we treat male parenting.

In case you missed it, mum Caitlin Fladager posted a Facebook status about her husband taking their daughter on ‘dates’, writing:

My husband decided once a month he will take our little girl out on a “date” where she gets all dressed up and gets taken out for cake and ice cream. Tonight was there first night doing it. He helped her pick out a dress… Read the full story

All teachers have their banks of phrases – but what the children hear isn’t always the meaning that sir or miss is giving over. 

Teachers repeat themselves and have some go to quotes that they like to think work in the classroom but what are they actually saying? From my memories at the chalkface, I recall that what I was thinking wasn’t exactly what I said.

If you have friends who tend to take everything you say far too seriously – avoid ever going into detail about the things you like.

Women should most definitely ask men out and here is why

For example, if they ask you about your favourite animal because they’re trying to find some inspiration for your Christmas presents, avoid the question altogether.

Otherwise, you could end up like this guy.

In a conversation about their favourite animals, Reddit user Yegend misguidedly told his friend that squirrels were his absolute favourite.

Despite the number of people using it, Tinder can sometimes feel like a lonely desert.

Yes, you’re matched with people (which, if you’re a woman, is not much of an achievement considering guys seem to swipe right on everyone), but you’re getting the cold shoulder whenever you try and start a conversation.

Pornhub got a load of searches for 'golden shower' porn yesterday

Maybe it’s your banter that’s way off or it could be that you’re attracting time-wasters who swipe right while they’re watching TV with their long-term partner.

Either way, it’s frustrating.

But one man claims that he’s discovered a Tinder technique that gives him a 100% response rate to his messages.

What’s he doing differently?
