| Can a Man Ever Really Have It All? Posted: 18 Oct 2015 04:00 AM PDT A Twitter feed by manwhohasitall poses the question, “Can men ever really ‘have it all’?” Ha! It’s a Twitter account that takes things that women hear all the time -sexist remarks, pandering magazine headlines, op-eds, and internet comments- and turns them around to be about men. It appears to be partly machine-generated, with “man” and “Dad” replacing “woman” and “Mom,” for example, with some human input to make it even more absurd. Read it for advice to men on getting all that stuff done, and looking good doing it. Then treat yourself to some “me time,” if you have any left. And don’t forget- yogurt is your friend! -via Metafilter  | ||||||||
| New Hot Job in China: "Mistress Discourager" Posted: 18 Oct 2015 02:00 AM PDT (Image: Sina) Is some floozy getting too friendly with your husband? You'll need to deal with your husband. But you may also need to explain to the homewrecker that your man is taken. According to What's on Weibo, a blog that summarizes news from China, market demand has created a new profession: mistress discourager. Adultery and divorce are on the rise in China, so it's possible to earn a good living by driving off extra partners:

| Posted: 18 Oct 2015 12:00 AM PDT Halloween mania has entered the operating room. Let’s hope this surgical sequence is a horror film instead of supposedly mirroring real life. This is only the beginning of the longer comic you can read at Buttersafe. You may or may not be able to see the punch line coming “a mile away.” Either way, it’s both satisfying and groan-producing. | ||||||||
| A Snapchat Story About Being Home Alone All Weekend Posted: 17 Oct 2015 10:00 PM PDT Being home alone for an extended period of time isn't as fun as they make it out to be in the movies, and things can get pretty weird when you have to find ways to entertain yourself in an empty house. Lucky for you we're not talking about dirty ways to "entertain yourself" in this instance, but rather silly ways which seem to entertain Snapchat cinematographer DatsGoodForm every bit as much as the viewer. (Video contains NSFW language) Moral of the story- put your toys away before you do your physics homework, or those little plastic people won't leave you alone! -Via Cheezburger | ||||||||
| Posted: 17 Oct 2015 08:00 PM PDT Cole Escola stars in a commercial for something or other that mothers will care about. And you will, too. Yes, it’s a parody of the standard “mom” ad, but it’s got its own charms that are different from what you've seen before. Or maybe not, but he does a great job of throwing you out into left field. You just have to watch it. Contains a tiny bit of NSFW language. -via Metafilter | ||||||||
| Dr. Farnsworthstein - That's Mr. Frankenbutter To You, Hippie! Posted: 17 Oct 2015 06:00 PM PDT If you see any drunk and defective robots wandering around the old section of New New York they're probably one of Dr. Farnsworthstein's creations. He probably should have given up scientisting long ago, but his scientifical mindset refused to stop even when his brain malfunctioned and had to be replaced. Now he mostly creates bots that love to go on benders, one eyed mutant people who are both uptight and undateable, and little smarmy clones of himself so he never gets lonely in his lab. You could say Dr. Farnsworthstein is a crackpot, but then he'd inevitably crack a pot over your head! Add some Hubert hilarity to your geeky wardrobe with this Dr. Farnsworthstein t-shirt by Bleee, he's likely to replace Dr. Frankenstein as your favorite scientifical madman. Visit Bleee's Facebook fan page, official website, Tumblr and Twitter, then head on over to his NeatoShop for more geek-tastic designs:

| Posted: 17 Oct 2015 06:00 PM PDT Many years ago, novelist Brian J. Noggle bought his wife an iMac. It broke, but he kept the desiccated carcass around in case he thought of something useful to do with it. After buying a corkboard, he realized what he could do: turn the old computer into a modern-looking corkboard. The entire project, he notes, was quite cheap: $1,801 isn't a bad price production price for a household craft. | ||||||||
| The Untold Story of the Ermahgerd Girl Posted: 17 Oct 2015 04:00 PM PDT A photo taken 15 years ago became a viral meme three years ago, and is passed around almost as much today as it was then. The dorky tween in the photo bears no resemblance to the real Maggie Goldenberger, now 26. She was taken by surprise when her old picture was captioned and went viral. In fact, she was traveling in Europe and only had intermittent internet time when it became a sensation.
You’d think that Goldenberger might be hurt at people all over the world making fun of her awkward adolescent self, but she’s mostly okay with it. The reason why lies in the story behind the original picture, which she tells at Vanity Fair, in an article that also follows the history of the meme and even the reaction of R.L. Stine, the creator of Goosebumps. -via Digg | ||||||||
| Archaeologists Find Ancient Greek Zombie Graves Posted: 17 Oct 2015 02:00 PM PDT
What do you do if the dead won't stay dead? Greek settlers in the colony of Kamarina in Sicily may have addressed that problem in two graves uncovered by archaeologists in the 1980s. The bodies were weighed down with heavy pottery fragments--as though to prevent the bodies from rising up. Live Science reports on the findings of archaeologist Carrie Sulosky Weaver:

| New Jersey Residents Are All Atwitter Over Jersey Devil Sighting Posted: 17 Oct 2015 12:00 PM PDT With Halloween rapidly approaching people have all kinds of scary things on their mind, which are mostly figments of their imagination, and like clockwork reports of strange sightings start rolling in. One of the most recent cryptid sightings happened in Galloway Township, New Jersey, where folks spotted a strange shape in the sky and decided it was the famed Jersey Devil taking flight. One lucky witness named Emily Martin even captured the flight on video. That's very compelling footage! The still pic has people wondering what the heck that thing flapping across the skyline really is, with guesses that it's a launched goat or a squirrel falling out of a tree. But the craziest part of this story is the fact that people are actually wondering "Jersey Devil or Halloween prank?", as if there could be any doubt! -Via Complex | ||||||||
| Restaurant Hands Over Its Official Twitter Feed to a Chicken Posted: 17 Oct 2015 10:00 AM PDT Chicken Treat, an Australian chicken restaurant, is insourcing its social media operation to Betty, a chicken. This highly trained hen, who is clearly setting herself up for some choice social media consulting gigs, will have complete control over Chicken Treat's Twitter feed until she spells a proper 5-letter English word. This, the company hopes, will secure Betty a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Betty already has 78 times the number of Twitter followers that I have. But I'm not jealous because Betty is clearly a master of her craft who has earned her reputation for social media excellence. -via The Presurfer | ||||||||
| Posted: 17 Oct 2015 08:00 AM PDT There have been times when I decorated a birthday cake and it ended up a drippy mess. For this cake, that’s exactly what you want! What looks like melting wax is really frosting, so it’s all edible -except for the actual candles. Jenn at Cookies, Cupcakes, and Cardio shows us how to decorate this cake. See the printed instructions here. | ||||||||
| The Chambong Is The Classy Way To Chug Champagne Posted: 17 Oct 2015 07:00 AM PDT Chugging champagne out of a bottle isn't very classy, but it's the only surefire way to get drunk in under a minute! Okay, you definitely shouldn't chug champagne like that, unless you really love vomiting and headachey hangovers, so why would somebody make a champagne bong? The simple answer would probably be some reason related to ironic hipster culture making a statement about being privileged, but that's not really what the Chambong is all about. The Chambong is't built to send a whole bottle of bubbly hurtling down your throat, which means it's safe, but it is built to look all kinds of classy, so it's sexy. And it ain't your grandma's alcohol funnel, so you'll be on the cutting edge of chugging champagne! -Via BuzzFeed | ||||||||
| Posted: 17 Oct 2015 06:00 AM PDT Why are these people following me? It’s a horror story for the social media age, from Animation Domination High-Def (ADHD). This video made me think. My career since 1982 has been based on how many people pay attention to me, and I’ve always had a layer of anonymity built into my public persona, beginning in radio. When the internet came along, it was simple for me to jump in with both feet. It must be very different for the average person who casually uses a social network that requires a “real name” and then one day posts something that goes viral. It has to be quite unsettling. -via Geeks Are Sexy |
