| If Disney Movies Were Rewritten By Popular Websites Posted: 30 May 2016 04:00 AM PDT It's getting to the point where creativity has been completely drained from the entertainment industry, and Hollywood filmmakers have resigned themselves to asking the internet for help. As we all know this is a bad idea, as the internet community tends to come up with half baked ideas that can be summed up in 140 characters or less. So maybe they should reach out to specific websites for ideas instead of asking the internet as a whole? These clever cartoons by Jhall and Tristan Cooper of Dorkly give us a visual example of what Disney movies rewritten by popular websites would look like... Whelp, back to the drawing board, Disney!

| Posted: 30 May 2016 02:00 AM PDT Fail Army has compiled a whole slew of clips of people breaking, burning, and blowing up things, usually in some unexpected way. And then they set it to some classical-type music. Contains NSFW language. Now you have an entire list of things to not try at home. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| This Star Wars Pug-Crawl is the Cutest Geek Dog Fest Ever Posted: 30 May 2016 12:00 AM PDT Only in Portland would a pub-crawl involve dressing pugs up as Star Wars characters and parading them down the street -and if that's what it means to keep Portland weird, I'm all in. The event was well documented on Twitter and Fashionably Geek rounded up a few of the best costumes from the parade, including this amazing Bespin Cloud City pug that was apparently totally cool with being carried on his owner's shoulders all day. A few owners even got in on the fun, like this Jabba the Hut partnered with his precious Salacious Crumb pup. | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 May 2016 10:00 PM PDT Redditor devgal graduated from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania with a degree in environmental engineering. When the time came to decorate her mortarboard, she had the perfect idea, because she’s heard all the jokes since she was four years old and her leg was amputated. She explained that she has two prosthetics: one for everyday use, and one with a foot made for high heels that she can switch out for a running blade. Oh, that 45K? That's per year. -via reddit | ||||||||
| Amazing Mid-20th Century Disaster Illustrations By Walter Molino Posted: 29 May 2016 08:00 PM PDT When accidents occur and people are faced with perilous situations the world around them seems to slow down a bit, as the adrenaline kicks in to give them the strength to escape the situation with their life. This slow motion effect is eerie when you're in the thick of it, but it also helps your mind keep a mental snapshot of the scene that you'll never forget. However, it would be nice to see how the whole horrible scene played out without having to be in the middle of the mess, a photo taken from a bystander's perspective like these awesome illustrations by Walter Molino. Walter could infuse any situation with suspense and tooth-grinding tension, and the beautiful disasters he created for the Italian newspaper La Domenica del Corriere are action-packed eye candy. After looking through Walter's portfolio of incredible disaster art it's easy to see how iconic fantasy artist Frank Frazetta was inspired by Walter's staging, stark realism and attention to detail. -Via Dangerous Minds | ||||||||
| The Real Rosie the Riveter Has Been Found Posted: 29 May 2016 06:00 PM PDT Five years ago, we told you the story of how Geraldine Doyle was identified as the inspiration for the Rosie the Riveter poster. Doyle died in 2010 at age 86. Now evidence has come to light that she wasn’t the model for Rosie at all! Dr. James Kimble of Seton Hall University followed the story of how Doyle was identified as Rosie and was bothered by how little fact-checking went into it. So he decided to investigate himself. He began working on tracing the provenance of the photograph that Westinghouse used when their graphics department designed the poster. None of the available copies of the photo had any information on them, and the identification was made by Doyle herself.
Not only that, but Noami Parker Fraley is still around at age 94 and living in California. Read the story of how Kimble found the real Rosie at the Omaha World-Herald. -Thanks, Dr. Kimble! | ||||||||
| Two Dudes Build Epic Toilet Paper Forts Inside Walmart Posted: 29 May 2016 04:00 PM PDT Big box stores like Target and Walmart tend to have a pretty comprehensive security system, with every square inch of the store's interior and exterior monitored by security cameras at all times. So in order to build your own toilet paper fortress of solitude inside the store you have to be extra sneaky and set up shop within the racks so you can stay hidden from the eye in the sky. And it doesn't hurt to know the store's employees so they can cover for you. I'm not sure if the guys from JStu Studios are friends with the store's security guards or if they just found stores where security was lax, but they make building a toilet paper fort in Walmart look way too easy. They've built so many toilet paper forts on the sly that it's kinda becoming their "thing", and as long as the requests keep rolling in the JSTU will keep making themselves right at home at Walmart! -Via Viralnova | ||||||||
| Three Women Bust a Would-Be Rapist Posted: 29 May 2016 02:00 PM PDT Not all heroes wear capes. Sonia Ulrich, Marla Saltzer, and Monica Kenyon were celebrating Happy Hour together Thursday at the Fig restaurant at the Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica, California. Kenyon saw a guy slip something from a small vial into the drink belonging to the woman he was dining with. The women found his date in the restroom and told her about it. They also told the management, who contacted the police, gave the woman a different drink, and delayed the couple with "computer problems" on their bill. Meanwhile, hotel security found video evidence. The police arrested Michael Tsu, who is being held on a million-dollar bond on charges of administering a drug with the intent to commit a felony and intent to commit rape. They also confiscated the drink and the security recording as evidence. You can read the entire story in Sonia Ulrich’s Facebook post. | ||||||||
| Super Dynamic Cooking Time! - Foodie Fight! Posted: 29 May 2016 12:00 PM PDT Super Dynamic Cooking Time! by Xuco It's good for fighters to have hobbies outside of the ring, and fighters have been known to build up a powerful appetite, so seeing a street fighter who's also an avid cook isn't really a big deal.

| Canada's Most Notorious Crow Steals Police Evidence Posted: 29 May 2016 12:00 PM PDT When Vancouver police shot a man weilding a knife at them, they probably thought the strangest part of the ordeal was over -but that was before a crow flew down and stole the knife from the crime scene. Police had to chase the bird 20 feet before it dropped the knife, only for it to return to the crime scene where it attempted to steal glasses and equipment of a news crew trying to cover the story. It's believed the crow is the legendary Canuck of Vancouver, as he not only wears the same red identifcaton band, but is famous in the city for exactly this kind of pesty behavoir, as well as taking rides on the city's Sky Train. In fact, he's even stolen knives before as evidenced by the image above (the non-meme version can be found on the bird's Facebook here). On a side note, Canuck is not the only bird to steal knives as i09 demonstrated back in 2012, which leaves me with a new phobia -being stabbed by a knife dropped by a bird flying above me. It could happen. | ||||||||
| What The Mark Of The Beast Taught Me About The Future Of Money Posted: 29 May 2016 10:00 AM PDT Society has gone from bartering to trading with gold, then cash, then checks, credit cards, debit cards, and now digital transactions. The idea of money is now less physical and largely just a construct that goes from one entity to another in exchange for goods and services. Charlie Warzel wrote an extensive article on the future of financial transactions in the cashless society, after he spent a month using digital transactions only. There are myriad ways to pay digitally: Paypal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Android Pay, Square Cash, M-Pesa, and apps that only work at certain retailers. There are so many that it’s a real pain for vendors to keep up, although history tells us that some will rise above others and become the default way to pay.
One way to get around the physical stealing or breakage of phones is to have a chip implanted in his hand to use for transactions, which is what Warzel ultimately did. This is not common, and he had to make some upper-level arrangements to get it to work. What could possibly go wrong? I can think of a few drawbacks to paying with an embedded chip.

| Kim Jong-Un's Untouched Publicity Photo Leads To Photoshop Perfection Posted: 29 May 2016 08:00 AM PDT You may think Kim Jong-un themed Photoshop battles have been done to death, and you'd be right. But sometimes you have to revisit a subject over and over again to reach perfect level Photoshops, and when this super smiley headshot was released and declared untouched by North Korea the Reddits got busy retouching. They sent the poor little leader to Bikini Bottom, so he could see how it feels to live in a colorful world of creativity instead of being trapped inside a drab gray world of concrete and forced conformity. And then the ultimate transformations began, which left the Supreme Leader unrecognizable and yet somehow more powerful and authoritative than before. See Kim Jong-un, this is why you should be embracing technology! See more from North Korea's New Untouched Photo Of Kim-Jong un Photoshop Battle here -Via MEME BASE | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 May 2016 06:00 AM PDT This little chipmunk thought he had stumbled on the perfect treasure trove of food when he found a full bird feeder. Yet he couldn’t shake the feeling he was doing something wrong by taking all those seeds. When confronted by the guy who loaded the feeder, he did the only thing a thief with a conscience would do. He gave it all back. Under enough pressure, a criminal will cough up the goods. Of course, it’s probably just a fear response, but look at how much he had stuffed in those cheeks! -via Arbroath |
