People Imagine What They Would Rename Planet Earth If They Could

So many options to choose from....

Who named Earth? It may be something we've all learned in school but for most of us, it's likely information we all have filed away as... not vital information. Information that of course becomes fascinating late in life. Who got to have that honor and why? And could they have some up with something far more interesting? Like Thomas.

Redditor u/ObserverOfReddit wanted to hear about some possible options besides "Earth" by asking.... If you had to rename Earth, what would you name it?

People Who Slept With A Coworker Share Their Experiences

Reddit user Ok_Chocolate3253 asked: 'People who slept with a coworker, what happened after?'

"Never dip your pen in the company ink."

An age-old cautionary saying urging people not to get romantically entangled with their coworkers.

Doing so used to be illegal at many companies, whereas now it's grown to become a bit more commonplace, and often results in some cases of wedded bliss and happily ever afters (as demonstrated by The Office's Jim and Pam.)

Of course, when entering a relationship with a coworker, be it a one night stand or a committed, multi-year relationship, there is always the risk that it might not end well, resulting in your being forced to see your ex every day at the office (Bridget Jones anyone?)

Drag icon RuPaul endorses love but insists on loving yourself first.

Otherwise, "how the hell you gonna love somebody else?"

It's true. It's an age-old adage suggesting that you have to genuinely love yourself first in order to have healthy relationships with others and have a much happier life in general.

But sometimes, it's not about you.

Unfortunately, some people take the concept too far and are convinced the world revolves around them and that they are the key player in the drama of life.
