Finally, a reason to maybe date an Android user! According to data from Experian Marketing Services, iPhone users spend 26 more minutes on their phones per day than Android owners, clocking in at an hour and 15 minutes of phone use compared to Android users' 49 minutes.

Despite the devices' touch-and-go keyboards, a big chunk of that extra time is spent texting: Android users spend just under eight minutes a day texting, while iPhone users spend twice that at 17 minutes. iPhone users must make for absolutely riveting dinner company, then.

Both Android and iOS keyboards are infamous for their shoddy autocorrect features. Users' issues can lead to many an accidentally pervy text, somehow always in conversations with parents, and immortalized through screenshots on blogs and Facebook. But apparently, these errors aren't irksome enough to send users running back to phones with comparatively mistake-proof keyboards that have actual plastic buttons (miss you kind-of, 2007 Blackberry Curve).

Experian's data may also be the definitive proof that rich ladies are chattier than brooding John Wayne types, at least on their cell phones. Data from Hunch shows that iPhone users tend to be female, urban, higher-income and extroverted, while Android owners are more likely to be male, suburban or rural, introverted and without high school diplomas.

And nearly 98 percent of smartphone users eschew daily video-watching on their devices, Experian found. Can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to take in the latest Game of Thrones ep through a battery-draining, data-use-annihilating, miniscule phone video.

Teens need Tylenol (Photo: AceShowBiz)

Crippled by anxiety produced by the realization that, quite simply, your youth is fleeting? Paralyzed by your desire to sit in a dark room, chain smoking e-cigarettes and listening to Saves the Day on your first-gen iPod? Think the (emo) Skype emoticon really just gets you? Cheer up! Science has found a solution: just take a damn Tylenol.

According to CTV News, a recent study conducted by the University of British Columbia found that acetaminophen, the active ingredient found in Tylenol, can help quell anxiety and the "feelings that we get when we feel uncertain or we feel a lack of purpose or confused." Furthermore, Tylenol can help "block social rejection." You hear that, foreveralones?

Everyone at Thought Catalog take two Tylenol and call us in the morning.

A typical hacker. (Photo: Tumblr)

A new study published by a professor at the University of Montreal has yielded earth-shattering conclusions that are sure to rock the public's fundamental understanding of "hackers." Largely considered to be clean-shaven, upstanding adults residing in beautifully-kept apartments and boasting impressively high emotional IQs, the study has revealed a seedier side of the hacker persona: that of a Cheeto-dusted manchild whose skin will melt at the first sign of sunlight.

According to the study, “the typical hacker is male, in his 20s, and is usually socially immature.” How did researchers arrive as this generalization of the subspecies? By interviewing the statistically insignificant group of 10 hackers ages 17 to 27 years old.

Furthermore, about one third of hackers (so, like, three dudes?) reside with their parents, shattering the longstanding belief that computer hackers live in spacious, light-filled houses purchased with their own legitimately obtained money.

Can't wait to hear about how mean high school girls are after talking to Lindsay Lohan.

A year-long study conducted by the Pew Research Center has confirmed what we've known all along: Twitter is a rotten cesspool of smug, cynical douchebags consistently trying to out-mean and one-up each other. Oh, had you not noticed?

The study compared the tone of tweets to national polls regarding eight major national events, and found that though sometimes Twitter responses skewed liberal and sometimes they skewed conservative, they were almost always negative. Like, way more negative than the average member of the American public. "Often it is the overall negativity that stands out," reads the study. We're all a bunch of negative nancies, okay?

Still, the overall negativity on Twitter over the course of the campaign stood out. For both candidates, negative comments exceeded positive comments by a wide margin throughout the fall campaign season. But from September through November, Romney was consistently the target of more negative reactions than was Obama.

The study points out that the difference in opinion between Twitter users and the general public has a lot to do with the types of people who congregate on Twitter, specifically during newsworthy events. They tend to be younger and more Democratic, and tweets of those under 18 and in different countries were included in the study, whereas these demographics can't participate in national polls. Also, they probably have seen Mean Girls one too many times.

Wait 'til the Gowanus Dolphin guy hears about this.

A/S/L? 20/F/California here.

Haha just kidding. Like the information contained in one third of New York dating profiles, that was a complete lie. According to a new study, a lot of us are chronic embellishers here on the web.

The study, conducted by dating auction site What's Your Price, found that New York is the third least honest city when it comes to online dating profiles, with 34 percent of New Yorkers fudging facts about traits like their appearance, career, age and education. Men frequently lie about their height and build, but some also apparently try to mask their more illegal hobbies.

"Another guy told me he didn't smoke, but he had weed growing in his back yard in Long Island," one woman told amNewYork.

Unlike people who try to be someone completely different on shows like Catfish, online daters frequently tweak their profiles so that they're full of half-truths, using real pictures of themselves but then lying about specific details like their salary.

The study also found the cities with the most truthful profiles: Houston, Phoenix, Boston, Charlotte and Minneapolis top the list, so they might be good places to start looking for a relationship. But then you'd have to leave New York, and who would ever want to do that?

It's a question that has plagued us during many sleepless nights: What is a brony, really? We already know that fans of the rainbow-ridden My Little Pony series enjoy attending conventions and having public cybersex on Twitter, but little else has been scientifically revealed about the psychology behind the mystical brony culture...until now. (Cue Law and Order cut music.)

The Daily Dot pointed us to a study done by two researchers named Dr. Patrick Edwards and Dr. Marsha Redden, who conducted a survey in an attempt to classify the personality traits of bronies. Their findings may shock you.

Just kidding, they're pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

According to the study, the average profile of a brony is a 21-year-old male student who is heterosexual and single. Compared to non-bronies, bronies are more introverted, agreeable and tend to get "lost" in experiences--like a My Little Pony subculture, for instance!

"Given the MLP theme of “Love and Tolerance” it is not surprising that the Bronies scored significantly higher on the measure of Agreeableness," notes the study.

The study also broke down bronies into several different types:

• The Social Brony (29 percent): "Are dedicated and engaged fans and are publically open about their “Bronyhood."
• Secret Brony (28 percent): "Are dedicated and engaged fans, however, they do not share their “Bronyhood” with family."
• Independent Brony (7 percent): "Do not display dedicated and engaged fan behaviors (not seeking positive social interactions with other Bronies)."
• Hidden Brony (8 percent): "Do not display dedicated and engaged fan behaviors (few outward signs). They are unable or unwilling to share their “Bronyhood” with family and friends and tend to discovered MLP by accident."
• Mixed Brony (28 percent): "The hardest to pin point, they represents a blend or mixture of two or more of the other types."

Judging from these findings, it seems like bronies would make awesome boyfriends/friends, but terrible party hosts.
