| KFC’s Pink Burgers Are Tempting Posted: 12 Aug 2015 03:00 AM PDT
Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku informs us that Kentucky Fried Chicken locations in China are now offering chicken-like meat burger semi-food objects that feature bright pink buns. Why? And what makes them pink? You ask too many questions. Begin eating immediately. | ||||||||
| Posted: 12 Aug 2015 02:00 AM PDT In the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max, gasoline is what makes the world go round. I’m not sure why, because it seems food and water would be more important. But you can’t have a good car chase movie without gas! CorridorDigital brings us story set in the that bleak world, revolving around the quest for gasoline. It’s violent, gory, and contains NSFW text. But at the same time, you have to laugh. But really, this is not for children or those with a weak stomach. -via Uproxx | ||||||||
| An Interactive Quiz To Help Determine Your Cat's Personality Type Posted: 12 Aug 2015 01:00 AM PDT Many cats have bold, vibrant personalities, and just because a cat isn’t interested in playing or entertaining their humans doesn’t mean they don’t dish out cattitude on a daily basis. But the internet generation demands classifications for everything, so see if you can sit your cat down in front of your computer and have them take a fun, interactive quiz. The Intercative Experiment by Poopy Cat will help you determine whether your cat is a poser, a busy bee or a cuddle bug, thereby bringing you one step closer to answering that age old question- what the heck is my cat thinking?! -Via Laughing Squid | ||||||||
| Tiny Hamster's Best Day Ever at Walt Disney World Posted: 12 Aug 2015 12:00 AM PDT We always knew the tiny hamster is spoiled. Look at all the wonderful things he’s experienced! But now he goes on a trip to Walt Disney World. No, he doesn’t do Disney like people do -the tiny hamster gets his own tiny rides and his own tiny concessions. And his own tiny Mickey Mouse ears. Watch him take a tour throughout the Haunted Mansion and eat churros and Doel whips! The best moment is at 1:05, when he realizes he’s on camera. Check out the behind-the-scene video here. -Thanks, Elijah Jones! | ||||||||
| The Pulpy Brunch - One Royale With Cheese Away From A Happy Meal Posted: 11 Aug 2015 11:00 PM PDT The Pulpy Brunch by Donovan Alex Here's a story that's kinda gory, about a bunch of hoodlums looking for a score, they proved all's fair in love and fiction, and left us wanting more. Here's a story about a man named Jimmie who clearly has pulp where his brains should be, he helped Vincent and Jules dump a body and did so sarcastically. Here's the story of a guy named Butch who got caught up in some underworld affairs, he used a samurai sword to slice his way to freedom and became part of the Pulpy Brunch. That's the bloody, strange and scary way they all became the Pulpy Brunch! Don't be a Gimp, bring home this The Pulpy Brunch t-shirt by Donovan Alex and let your cinematic side hang out!

| Posted: 11 Aug 2015 11:00 PM PDT Twitter user @Belcorno has made a name for himself as an accomplished latte artist. He can create almost any image on the surface of a cup of coffee, such as these colorful renderings of Anna and Elsa from Frozen. Most commonly, he uses anime characters as his subjects. Lately, Belcorno has been experimenting with pancakes, presenting our favorite characters in sweet pancake batter. Pictured above is a Colossal Titan from the series Attack on Titan. If Belcorno can add eggs or bacon, he can present full anime breakfasts!

| Some Of The Most Beautiful Animated Films Posted: 11 Aug 2015 10:00 PM PDT Animation studios know that style is the biggest selling point for their features, and industry leaders like Pixar, Studio Ghibli and DreamWorks have made their name on their unique stylistic choices. CineFix has put together a list of what they’re calling the Top 10 Most Beautiful Animated Films Of All Time, which includes some incredibly cool animated films like Waltz With Bashir, The Boxtrolls, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. Like many of these online “best of” compilations it’s hit and miss if you're a serious animation fan, but serves as a great primer for those who are new to watching animated features. -Via GeekTyrant | ||||||||
| Baby and Bulldog Born on Same Day are Inseparable Posted: 11 Aug 2015 09:00 PM PDT Ivette Ivens of Chicago adopted a French bulldog pup when she realized that he was born on the same day as her infant son Dilan, thinking it was a sign that the pup should be in her family. Ever since, the bulldog, which the family named Farley, has been like a brother to little Dilan. Ivans said, “I’m pretty sure Dilan thinks they’re both the same species, as they walk at the same level and are both going through the stage of chewing on everything.” Ivans is a photographer specializing in family shoots. She has a book on breasfeeding coming out soon called Breastfeeding Goddess. See more adorable photos of Dilan and Farley here. (Includes one NSFW-ish breastfeeding shot.) Keep up with Ivens' projects at her website, Facebook and Instagram. | ||||||||
| The Stories Behind TV Production Company Closing Logos Posted: 11 Aug 2015 08:00 PM PDT Closing credits to a TV show often end with the production company’s animated logo, which are becoming more and more like little works of art in themselves. We remember them better than the show we just watched -mainly because of repetition, but we don’t mind repetition when they are so short. For example, Bad Hat Harry productions.
I would have never caught that, even though I’ve seen Jaws a few times. Den of Geek runs down the origins of 15 of these animated logos, going back to the 1980s. | ||||||||
| This Artist Beautifully Recreates Famous Paintings inside Eggshells Posted: 11 Aug 2015 07:00 PM PDT Süreyya Noyan, an artist in Turkey, has lately been experimenting with painting on eggshells. She cracks them open, cleans them, then turns the delicate interior surfaces into amazingly precise copies of famous works of art, such as Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave at Kanagawa.

| Posted: 11 Aug 2015 06:00 PM PDT Surfing is difficult enough, but these folks had to go and add ballet and gymnastics to the sport! Chuck Inman and Lauren Oiye are champion tandem surfers. I guess if you’ve developed the incredible balance necessary for surfing, you may as well harness that balance further. See several more of their videos at Daily Picks and Flicks. | ||||||||
| Dirty Jokes Hidden In Favorite Childhood Cartoons Posted: 11 Aug 2015 05:00 PM PDT Cartoons meant for kids are scrutinized to make sure that no elements deemed “mature audiences only” creep into the final product. This includes sexual references, violence and foul language, but clever cartoon creators are capable of slipping an adult joke into a kid’s cartoon like nobody else. These jokes tend to go right over a kid’s head, and are likely slipped in to entertain the older folks who might be watching along with their little ones. But when you look back at some of the jokes found in favorite childhood cartoons like Rugrats and Batman: The Animated Series it's surprising how raunchy those sneaky little jokes can be!

| The Amazing Chapman Stick Is Like 2 Electric Guitars in 1 Posted: 11 Aug 2015 04:00 PM PDT It has either 10 or 12 strings. With them, it’s possible to play a broader range than either the standard guitar or bass can do individually. Author Dave Hunter says that Emmett Chapman invented it in the 1970s to offer jazz players more options:

| 15 Glorious Facts About <i>Inglourious Basterds</i> Posted: 11 Aug 2015 03:00 PM PDT Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 film Inglourious Basterds was part war movie, part farce, part drama, part comedy, and part science fiction. The combination worked, and the final product was a masterpiece. But there are some things that were going on behind the scenes that you don’t know about -like the casting decisions.

| For Adventurous Travelers: Container Ship Tourism Posted: 11 Aug 2015 02:00 PM PDT
Never mind a cruise ship. Those are like floating 5-star hotels. A more offbeat approach to sea travel is to book passage on a freighter. This is called “container ship tourism.” Most large freighters have cabin space for a few passengers. For a few thousand dollars, you can book a month-long journey across the ocean. Andy Wright of Atlas Obscura has a fascinating article about this very old yet largely unknown form of travel. He talked to Julie Richards, a travel agent who specializes in this field:
(Photo: Judd Splitter/Freighter Bum) You’ll probably get a reasonably comfortable cabin. But you’ll have to entertain yourself. A container ship offers nothing like the cruise ship experience. And according to freighter travel enthusiast Robert Rieffel, the food varies widely:

| The Queso Commander - The Megalomaniac With A Mouth Posted: 11 Aug 2015 01:00 PM PDT The Queso Commander by SilverBaX Wade Wilson was never very bright, but after being injected with the Weapon X serum he became bat guano insane. But his craziness gave him great strength, and both good and bad guys began to fear him. He decided to strike like a cobra and take over an office of high esteem, mostly because he'd always wanted someone to call him "commander". Before he knew it he was commanding an army of soldiers hell bent on doing soldier stuff around the world, but a bunch of silly good guys came marching in looking for a guy named G.I. Joe. Wade told them, in a dead serious voice, that he'd never heard of the guy, but those friends of Joe didn't believe him, and with guns aimed at his head they told him to get out of the pool...

| The Truth About The Brown Recluse Spider Posted: 11 Aug 2015 01:00 PM PDT Brown Recluse spiders (Loxosceles reclusa) are tiny but deadly. However, they don’t go around biting people as a habit, and they don’t live all over the U.S. The fear of being bitten by one is akin to the fear of plane crashes, Ebola, or shark attack: the consequences are bad, but the odds of it actually happening are smaller than you think.
Dang it, wouldn’t you know that I have to live in a brown recluse habitat? There’s plenty more you should know about not worrying about these spiders in Greg Laden’s review of the book The Brown Recluse Spider by Richard Vetter at ScienceBlogs. -via Catherine Scott (Image credit: UC Riverside) | ||||||||
| Documentary About The Real Life Gangs That Inspired <i>The Warriors</i> Posted: 11 Aug 2015 12:00 PM PDT There were a lot of far out gangs in Walter Hill’s dystopian thriller The Warriors, but most of them were nothing but imaginative flights of gangland fancy and never truly existed on the mean streets of New York. However, The Warriors themselves, as well as the Turnbull ACs, The Rogues and a few of the less gimmicky crews, are based on real life NY gangs from the 60s and 70s. These “neighborhood clubs” are the focus of the 1993 documentary Flyin’ Cut Sleeves, an in-depth look at the gangs that ruled New York City which you can watch in full on YouTube: It’s a stone groove that'll take you back to the days when the boppers ruled the Bronx, and every club in town was cuttin’ off their sleeves to show their love for the street life. Can you dig it? -Via Dangerous Minds | ||||||||
| The Biggest Treehouse in the World Posted: 11 Aug 2015 11:00 AM PDT This massive treehouse, located in Crossville, Tennessee, is thought to be the largest in the world. The 80-room structure is four stories high, 97 feet tall and is supported by six trees in all, the largest being an 80-foot-tall white oak. It was closed to the public due to being a fire hazard, but there are hopes that necessary changes will be made so that visitors may once again be allowed to enjoy the fanciful building.

| Posted: 11 Aug 2015 10:00 AM PDT We set our thermostats down in the winter because we don’t want to waste gas. Meanwhile, a big hole in the ground in Turkmenistan has been burning natural gas for over 40 years, just to get rid of it. Its officially called the Darvasa Gas Crater but everyone calls it the Gates of Hell. Dylan from Atlas Obscura tells the tale. | ||||||||

Take a trip to Bixton, a trendy neighborhood in London. At many popular, independently owned cafes and shops, you can pay in the local currency. That’s not the British pound. It’s a locally produced and accepted bill called the Brixton pound, which is pictured above. It reflects a trendy new fashion: artisanal currency. Dan Crane writes about it in the New York Times:
These paper bills lack government backing, but they’re accepted in communities that want to keep their money local:

| Posted: 11 Aug 2015 08:30 AM PDT Japan has given us cat cafes, owl cafes, and goat cafes… why not a snake cafe? If you want to get up close and personal with snakes, visit the Tokyo Snake Center (English translation). They just opened to the public over the weekend. You can enjoy a drink in the presence of a snake, and even handle some of the large snakes. Snake experts are on hand to supervise and explain about each species. They are all non-venomous. -via Metafilter, where one response was: 1. Nope | ||||||||
| The Movies Roger Ebert Really Hated Posted: 11 Aug 2015 08:00 AM PDT Roger Ebert is one of the most well respected, liked and famous movie critics who has ever lived, and he spent four decades helping us refine our cinematic palates by telling us why movies deserve a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Mr. Ebert did not mince words, and sometimes his reviews were so perfectly scathing they gave the film a bad rep before most people had even seen it. He wasn’t afraid to go against the opinion of the masses, like when he called Michael Bay’s Armageddon “an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained”, or his review of beloved cult classic Hocus Pocus “The witches in this one inspired my silent cry, ‘Get me out of here!” However, peruse this list of 22 Movies Roger Ebert Really Hated and you’ll see that his hate list is overwhelmingly right on the money! Behold his review of M. Night Shmalayan's The Village:

| If Car Commercials Were Honest Posted: 11 Aug 2015 07:30 AM PDT Would you buy a car from this man? If car ads were honest, they’d tell us stuff we already know. This video from Cracked focuses on the money, but I’d also add the part about badgering potential customers who just want to look around, and the surprisingly large number of car salesman who still think a woman cannot select or buy a car on her own. It doesn’t have to be this way. I always buy cars from private owners. They are already taking a loss, and really need to unload to get rid of insurance costs. The seller still makes more on a private sale than they would trading it in. My brother bought his last few cars from eBay: he saved money even when including travel expenses. -via Viral Viral Videos | ||||||||
| Photographer Captures The Dark Side Of Eating Contests Posted: 11 Aug 2015 07:00 AM PDT Eating contests are an American tradition with roots in county fairs and harvest festivals, but the sponsored, no-holds-barred food spectacles we see today all started with Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Now there's no foodstuff which is off limits, and contestants stuff their faces for fat stacks of cash and international acclaim. But at the root of every eating contest is a ravenous urge known as gluttony, and this "ferocity of consumption” is the core theme behind Nina Berman’s documentary series “Eat To Win”. The images are captured at just the right moment, the contestants' faces frozen in horrifying expressions as the desire to win drives them to devour more than their neighbors. Nina’s series presents an interesting counterpoint to the “eating contests are fun and funny to watch” view typically presented by the media. -Via Beautiful/Decay | ||||||||
| Anchorman Has On-Air Meltdown in Protest of Reporting on the Kardashians Posted: 11 Aug 2015 06:30 AM PDT When Orlando's television station Fox 35 aired a story about Kylie Jenner getting a pet rabbit, which she named Bruce, anchorman John Brown walked off the set in mid-report and proceeded to go on an anti-Kardashian rant. Offscreen he could be heard exclaming loudly, “It’s a non-story! We’re talking about this family every freaking day on this show! Nobody cares about this family anymore! It’s enough! It’s Friday! I want to have a good Friday! I don’t want to talk about the Kardashians!” Poor Brown. I can only imagine what it's like to be forced to talk about the Kardashians regularly (or, as he puts it, "daily") as a condition of employment. | ||||||||
| My Neighbor Miyazaki - The Whole World Is His Animation Studio Posted: 11 Aug 2015 06:00 AM PDT He's your best neighbor, and not just because he makes all your animated dreams come true. No, our neighbor Miyazaki is the best because he puts a smile on our faces, and we find ourselves spirited away whenever he is near. Miyazaki owns his own catbus, talks to the Totoros and frolics with forest spirits, and he has even tamed a wolf princess or two in his time living next door to us all. There's no denying that man is magical, and when he pays us a visit the world seems like a far more fun place to live!
