Baby Gordon Ramsay Posted: 29 May 2016 04:00 AM PDT I think I found the new host for Master Chef Junior.  Claire Dempster posted this adorable picture of her mini-chef on her Twitter account asking Gordon Ramsay if he happened to have been in Wales within the last ten months or so. Best of all, Ramsay himself replied stating that yes, he was actually there about 11 months ago. Yes about 11 months ago https://t.co/srAtXfFJa9 — Gordon Ramsay (@GordonRamsay) May 26, 2016 Sure, it could just be a coincidence, but with an uncanny resemblance like that, I smell a conspiracy.

The Commute Map Posted: 29 May 2016 02:00 AM PDT The Commute Map is an interactive graph that shows the flow of commuters in your area. Select a state and county, and whether you want to see the patterns for people who live there or for people who work there. Below the map, you'll see a list of counties where the traffic is coming from or going. You can even select the range, up to 300 miles. The commute to work in Washington, DC, is shown here; apparently no one travels to work in my county. Creator Mark Evans explains more about this visualization at I Like Big Bytes. -via Metafilter

Stuff No One Told Me Illustrated Posted: 29 May 2016 12:00 AM PDT There are lots of hoaky posts offering life lessons and advice online, but they're usually just full of quotes supposedly said by famous people and don't really capture our attention. But Alex Noriega isn't a celebrity or professional life coach, he's just an illustrator who enjoys creating and sharing little visual info nuggets with cartoon flair he calls Stuff No One Told Me. (Contains NSFW language) Some of Alex's observations really hit home, others are too silly to be taken seriously, but the cartoon art is always cool so enjoy these nuggets with a grain of philosophical salt.

Un-Melting Things Posted: 28 May 2016 10:00 PM PDT Let’s Melt This is a YouTube channel that shows various things melting. This one a switch-up, where they show the videos in reverse. It’s neat because instead of being destructive, it looks constructive. Also, some of the things are completely unidentifiable melted, so we get to guess what they are as the video rolls. (YouTube link) The only part I don’t like is that the music is backwards, too. If that  bugs you, turn the volume down, or mute it. -via Laughing Squid

Artist Turns Old Mattresses into Giant Foods Posted: 28 May 2016 08:00 PM PDT Recently, French street artist Lor-K has been cutting, shaping, and painting old mattresses so that they look like giant versions of common foods. If you've ever wanted a slice of pizza that's big enough to be a complete meal, she can provide it! Lor-K calls the project Eat Me. -via Laughing Squid

Cité Mémoire Posted: 28 May 2016 06:00 PM PDT Montreal is marking the 375th anniversary of its founding in 1641. One of the ways the city is celebrating is with projection art that tells stories from the city’s history. Cité Mémoire (Memory City) consists of 18 installations, projected on buildings, roads, and even trees. There is audio to go with them, accessible through an app on your mobile device. Juergen Horn and Mike Powell made a video giving us a little taste. (YouTube link) If it were just short movies projected against the sides of buildings, Cité Mémoire would be cool, but not all that memorable. However, each of the eighteen tableaux has been produced with the utmost artistry. They’re the work of some of Quebec’s most renowned multidisciplinary artists. The projections are poetic, haunting and beautiful, and each one makes perfect use of its individual location. For example, the tableaux about the 1849 burning of the Parliament is found at the old firehouse in the Place d’Youville. The projection uses a walled-up window on the building to create the illusion of a concerned couple peering outside. You watch along with them as protesters gather in front of the building across the street, which has been illuminated to resemble the Parliament. As it burns, the effect is stunning.

Mei In Wonderland - Time For A Neighborly Adventure! Posted: 28 May 2016 04:00 PM PDT Mei In Wonderland by zRiSes When Mei was spirited away to a house in the woods with her dad and sister to await her mom's return from the hospital she pretended they were moving into a castle, where the wind would howl at night so Satsuki would tuck her in real tight.

Cheetah with a GoPro Posted: 28 May 2016 04:00 PM PDT The folks at the Cincinnati Zoo outfitted Savanna the cheetah (previously at Neatorama) with a GoPro camera on her back. She probably wouldn’t have liked one on her head, and you really can’t force a wild cat to do something they don’t want to. Watching her zoom around the compound with this point of view is terrifying, kind of like riding in the car with your 16-year-old driving.     (YouTube link) When they go to slow-motion, you really get a sense of how fast they run. I couldn’t even keep up with a cheetah in slow motion! But then again, if a wild predator were chasing me, I might surprise myself. -via Tastefully Offensive

This Is What The Residential Areas In The World's Largest Cities Look Like Posted: 28 May 2016 02:00 PM PDT (Tokyo- Image Link) Megacities aren't just settings for sci-fi novels or places where Judges like Dredd enforce the law- they're massive cities like Tokyo, Delhi or Shanghai where more than 10 million people live in a space never meant to hold so many people. (Seoul - Image Link) And when the crowding gets crazy in the megacity builders start building straight up into the sky, erecting the massive buildings which will house millions. (Hong Kong - Image Link) It's not hard to find the residential centers in a major city, just head to the edge of town far from the tourist attractions and look for the hive of identical structures the tourism department doesn't want you to see. (London - Image Link) See Here's What The Residential Areas Of The World's Megacities Look Like here

Getting High Posted: 28 May 2016 12:00 PM PDT In 1999, a horrified mother took this picture of her daughter just before telling her to come down. The redditor with a NSFW name posted it and explained what kind of childhood she led. The trick we came up with was to spit on our hands and feet and rub it in so they were kind of sticky (gross, I know). I basically just shimmied up like a bear cub. I remember having to take a pretty long breather about halfway up. Childhood is a hell of a drug. Haha she had the camera in one hand and the phone in the other, ready to call for help if I fell. She said she didn't want to yell or panic because she thought it would scare me and I would fall. So she acted supportive then asked me nicely to come down and when I did I got a stern talking to about safety. My mom got many a call from the neighbors saying, "do you know where your daughter is?" and she would say, "probably very high up in a tree. Call me back if she falls." Yeah, as a girl wanting to be tough like the boys in my neighborhood I wound up getting hurt pretty often. I once climbed onto the cross beam of a playground swing set and thanks to a group of kids chanting "jump jump jump," I did, landed on my butt, kneed myself in the mouth, and broke 4 of my bottom front teeth. Many a bad choice was made. -via reddit

Skateboarding in Zero Gravity Posted: 28 May 2016 10:00 AM PDT Champion skateboarders Tony Hawk and Aaron "Jaws" Homoki went for a ride in a reduced-gravity aircraft operated by Zero G. They experienced the equivalent of Martian and Lunar gravity before going to zero gravity. Although they appear to defy gravity in their terrestrial stunts, here they got to experience the real thing. (Video Link) -via Geekologie

What Questions the 50 States Ask Google Posted: 28 May 2016 08:00 AM PDT If the most misspelled words by state wasn’t funny enough for you, here’s another chance to be embarrassed to admit which state you’re from. Estately crunched the data and came up with what questions states disproportionately ask in Google searches. See a larger map at the site.  To be clear, the list below does not represent what each state Googles the most, it simply shows the searches each state Googles more frequently than the other 49 states and the District of Columbia. While people in paradise (Hawaii) have the leisure to pose philosophical questions, those in Alaska are worried about stocking up for the winter, lest they starve. Arkansas needs a history lesson. People in Montana are apparently reacting to people in Idaho. You have to wonder what is going on in Delaware. And sadly, people in Kentucky learn how to use the internet before they learn the important things in life. -via the A.V. Club

Sleek, Modernist Cuckoo Clocks Posted: 28 May 2016 07:00 AM PDT Pedro Mealha's cuckoo clocks don't look anything like a Swiss mountain chalet! They have modern shapes and forms and often vibrant, eye-popping colors. But one thing hasn't changed a bit: each one has a cuckoo that chirps like the classic ones. Mealha studied project and furniture design at Kingston University in London. He started clockmaking with a desk lamp, then decided to build a cuckoo clock. Now he sells them on Etsy. You can see more of his clocks here. -via Core77

Heavy Equipment Used in Liquor Store Smash-and-Grab Posted: 28 May 2016 06:00 AM PDT (YouTube link) Police in Anchorage, Alaska, were involved in a chase about 3 a.m. Thursday after a front-end loader was seen smashing into the front of a liquor store. Witnesses saw the machinery break the glass at Brown Jug liquor store. The driver went in and took several bottles of liquor. Police pursued the front-end loader, but the driver refused to stop. Once they blocked his path, they arrested 38-year-old Joseph Martin, who failed a sobriety test. He also had liquor bottles in the front-end loader. The next morning, Trina and Gus Gaskov found the fence damaged at their landscaping business and a front-end loader missing. "He's obviously a good driver, 'cause he was drunk off his butt but he was still driving really good," she said in a phone interview Thursday. "He didn't hit a car or nothing — and making those wide turns — he must have experience driving around the loaders or something." No one was injured in the chase. Martin was charged with DUI, theft, burglary, criminal mischief, and refusal to submit to a drug test. He is being held until a third party takes responsibility. -via Fark
