| 15 Secrets of Apple Store Employees Posted: 12 Jul 2015 04:00 AM PDT There are 265 Apple stores in the U.S. (none near me, of course), and that means lot of employees with stories to tell. Some of the things that go on in Apple stores might reinforce your belief that Apple is a cult, if that’s what you think, but the loyalty-building customs are not much different from other companies. And the way they look at customers will not surprise you. But this fact stood out to me:
I drive a 26-year-old car and live in a 109-year-old house. The idea that something just a few years old is “vintage” and you can’t get parts for it is beyond my understanding. I still have trouble believing that my 2009 Mac Mini will no longer support the applications my kids use for school. Sigh. But there’s a lot more about Apple stores and their employees you’ll want to read at mental_floss.  | ||||||||
| Amazingly Dreamy Digital Collages Of Animals Posted: 12 Jul 2015 02:00 AM PDT The digital collages created by Sarah DeRemer are delightfully surreal and totally dreamy, but whether that dream is good or bad is purely a matter of perception. Her works give the viewer a feeling of isolation, and yet the magical elements found in each piece take that isolated feeling and turn it into a sense that you’re watching a scene being performed just for you. Sarah's works also have a dark yet playful sense of humor that really works well with the animal subjects, since the animal kingdom is full of comedic and tragic moments, which sometimes occur simultaneously. -Via Hi-Fructose | ||||||||
| Rocket Kawaii - Twice The Cute, Still Not Very Nice Posted: 12 Jul 2015 12:00 AM PDT Even when Rocket looks all cute he's still got a bad attitude, and he's liable to snap on you about anything you say. That star raccoon can't help himself, he wasn't genetically altered to be nice, but when you're standing side-by-side in battle you'll marvel at how much damage a little critter can cause. The galaxy needs more fiery furballs like Rocket, just ask his talking tree pal Groot and he'll tell you the same- Rocket is a lord among louse ridden mammals! Comic book cuteness can be found on this Rocket Kawaii t-shirt by Miffmelon, it's the surefire way to get all the oohs and aahs out of your fellow Guardians fans! Visit Miffmelon's Facebook fan page and Tumblr, then head on over to her NeatoShop for more delightfully geeky designs:

| Robot Chicken DC Comics Special 3: Magical Friendship Posted: 12 Jul 2015 12:00 AM PDT Robot Chicken’s third DC Comics special is coming to Adult Swim this fall. If the full show is anything like the preview here, it’s going to be insane. It explores the multiverse theory, and crosses over with other universes, so that we see different versions of our favorite superheroes. Seeing a different version of yourself can be pretty unnerving. Especially if you’re an ape. -via Uproxx | ||||||||

| The Space Probe Exploring Pluto Right Now Is Carrying the Ashes of Its Discoverer Posted: 11 Jul 2015 10:00 PM PDT
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is conducting humanity's first close observation of the planet Pluto. Scientists are mesmerized by the first high-resolution images of this mysterious world at the border of our solar system. Pluto is ancient, but our knowledge of it is not. It was in only 1930 that Clyde Tombaugh, a 23-year old astronomer from Kansas, found it hidden away in the distance (though this is disputed). Tombaugh went on to have a long and fruitful career in astronomy before dying in 1997 at the age of 90. When NASA launched New Horizons in 2006, the probe carried a portion of Tombaugh's ashes. So in a way, he's now traveled all the way to the world that he discovered. NBC News talked to his family:

| Nazi Telegram That Drove Hitler to Suicide Sat For Years in South Carolina Safe Posted: 11 Jul 2015 08:00 PM PDT
According to the Washington Post, a telegram that changed the course of World War II and prompted Adolf Hitler to commit suicide was recently sold at auction. The document sat in a safe in South Carolina for years, allegedly due to the original owner's inability to read German and failure to consult with a historian or obtain a translation that might have emphasized its historical importance. The telegram, written to Adolf Hitler by Nazi second-in-command Hermann Goering, sold at auction for $55,000. Read the history of the document changing hands, learn how the issue of true ownership is clouded, and see the translated text of the telegram here. | ||||||||
| Cutest Invention Ever: A Hamster Wheel for Corgis Posted: 11 Jul 2015 06:00 PM PDT
Humans have been misuing them for years. Merry-go-rounds, a staple of playgrounds, are best used by corgis for the manufacture of adorableness. In this video, Meatball personally tests his invention. -via 22 Words | ||||||||
| Some of The Weirdest Drinks Sold In Japan Posted: 11 Jul 2015 04:00 PM PDT I'm willing to bet that you've never sat back, sipped on a nice beer and thought, "you know, this could really use some milk." Amazingly though, someone in Japan did, which is why Bilk is a real thing you can buy -featuring 70% beer and 30% milk. Of course, I would drink a six pack of Bilk before I ever touched Placenta 400,000, which, as the name suggests, is made with real swine placenta. These terribly terrifyinig drinks and more were included in InventorSpot's list of the weirdest drinks in Japan, and believe it or not, this is actually the second such list -the original included such specialties as salad-flavored water and beer made for children. | ||||||||
| Darth Vader Attends Comic-Con 2015 To Force Choke Rebel Scum Posted: 11 Jul 2015 02:00 PM PDT You may see a dozen or more cosplayers dressed as Darth Vader on any given day during Comic Con, but if you ever see one who can actually force choke you it’s time to head for Hall H! This year Con attendees were accosted by a seemingly normal Darth cosplayer with a camera who was actually helping the sinister masterminds at Wired seek out and eliminate Rebel scum. So was Darth's visit the beginning of a full blown Imperial assault on San Diego, or just an excuse for people to act silly on camera? The decision is up to you... -Via Laughing Squid | ||||||||

| Posted: 11 Jul 2015 12:00 PM PDT This is not a movie set, or anywhere near one. This is not Asgard. Redditor GavinWakeUpCall posted this picture, taken by a friend, of a scene at the Broken Yolk Cafe in San Diego, where Comic Con is going on. These guys have Thor and Loki down to the smallest detail, even the not-talking-to-each-other part. I wonder if the waitress had any trouble moving Thor’s hammer to set their plates down. And another question: what do Norse gods order at a diner? | ||||||||
| Best Moments of <i>Star Wars'</i> Comic-Con 2015 Panel Posted: 11 Jul 2015 11:00 AM PDT The video above, produced by io9, includes their selections of Hall-H highlights from the Star Wars panel at Comic-Con 2015, featuring Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, among others.

| The Last Piece - Love Is More Powerful Than Any Triforce Posted: 11 Jul 2015 10:00 AM PDT There's nothing more romantic, or geeky, than giving pieces of your heart to the people you love, but just make sure you're not left holding an incomplete heart container when you fail to form a love link!

| Posted: 11 Jul 2015 10:00 AM PDT Rich Wilcock was photographing the beach at Gwynedd, Wales. He was accompanied by Leia, his Cocker Spaniel. Leia kept on barking at and nudging Wilcock, drawing his attention to a spot on the beach. There, Leia had found a beached baby dolphin. The Daily Post quotes Wilcock:

The bird appears to be engaging in wormdancing. Seagulls do this to encourage worms in the sand to burrow to the surface to be eaten. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jul 2015 06:00 AM PDT Barry Cox runs a business in New Zealand called Treelocations that specializes in transplanting and moving trees. He also has a beautiful three-acre sculpted garden. The crowning glory of the garden is the Tree Church, a chapel made of living, growing trees! The trees used are:
The church and grounds are open for tours (during the summer), and available to rent to weddings and other special events. See more pictures of the church at Colossal. -via Everlasting Blort |
