| Like A Boss - Console Platforming Adventure Time! Posted: 02 Jul 2016 04:00 AM PDT When some big bad Bowser comes to your kingdom and threatens the pastry people you've come to enjoy being around you can either shut the game off and go sulk or you can set it to hardcore mode and go mathematical. The game's a whole lot easier with two players, but Jake is too busy playing kissyface with Lady Rainicorn so you're gonna have to go it alone. But if you chomp down on that special mushroom PB gave you it should give you the power to crush every Bowser who gets in your way and free the Candy Kingdom like a super bro! Show the world it's time to play with this Like A Boss t-shirt by Beware 1984, it's sure to make you the star of game time wherever you go!

| Fertility Doctors Grow the Eggs of a 2-Year Old Girl Posted: 02 Jul 2016 04:00 AM PDT
The ravages of cancer treatments can leave a woman infertile. That's why doctors at Oxford University in the UK extracted ovarian tissue from a toddler, then incubated the eggs until they were mature. These eggs can be frozen for future pregnancies once the child grows up. It's a revolutionary new treatment that's being called "the holy grail of fertility treatments." It offers new hope to prepubescent girls with cancer. The Telegraph reports:

| Posted: 02 Jul 2016 02:00 AM PDT We already know that octopuses are great at camouflage, but they are also great mimics. With those tentacles, they can do amazing things! Designer and illustrator Gabe Pyle knows an octopus that is a master of disguise, and can make himself into a dozen other animals that are definitely not octopuses. -via Pleated-Jeans | ||||||||

According to legend, the Buddha gave a hermit a single strand of his own hair, which was made of gold. The hermit gave it to a local king named Tissa. In exchange, King Tissa used his magic to pull an enormous boulder out of the sea and place it on a cliff. Then the king built a pagoda on the top of the boulder to serve as a shrine for the golden hair. This is the Kyaiktiyo Balancing Pagoda in Burma. The entire rock and shrine is painted with gold. For a thousand years, pilgrims have come to the base of the rock to pray. -via The Presurfer | ||||||||
| Posted: 01 Jul 2016 11:00 PM PDT It’s a holiday weekend! Time for bonfires and illuminations, for remembering what America is all about, from our history to our freedoms to the work that still needs to be done to ensure those liberties for all. To put you in the spirit, here are some movies you probably know and love. This compilation from Nelson Carvajal of Fandor Keyframe. He says,

| The Singing Runway at the Disney World Airport Posted: 01 Jul 2016 09:59 PM PDT
In 1971, Disney World built a private airport to provide direct access to its facilities. The Disney World Airport, serviced by the now-defunct Shawnee Airlines, had a unique feature. When a plane rolled over the runway at precisely 45 MPH, the bumps played the tune of "When You Wish Upon a Star" from the animated musical Pinocchio. The airport closed shortly after it opened, as it proved impractical. But the runway remains and, as this video appears to demonstrate, is publicly accessible. It's mostly used a storage area. You can read more about this short-lived Disney venture into aviation at Atlas Obscura. | ||||||||

| Why Did the <i>Star Trek</i> and <i>Star Wars</i> Universes Turn Out So Differently? Posted: 01 Jul 2016 07:59 PM PDT
Tyler Cowen is an economist at George Mason University. Recently, he mused about why the settings of Star Trek and Star Wars are so different. There are advanced technologies in both--far beyond our own reality--but enormous differences in the politics, economies, and cultures between them. Why? Cowen offers 6 propositions:
I think that the core difference is that Star Trek (at least in The Next Generation era) is highly utopian. The Federation at the center of the Star Trek story is prosperous, peaceful, and incorruptible. Factionalism, let alone tribalism, is rare. Hundreds of species with radically different cultures and even biological systems live together without serious disagreement. Material wants and injustice are almost unknown. I love Star Trek and prefer it to Star Wars, but it's quite unrealistic. The reason why Star Wars is so savage and tragic compared to Star Trek is because real life is savage and tragic. | ||||||||
| The Sunday Morning Breakfast Machine Posted: 01 Jul 2016 07:00 PM PDT Two guys got together to make a machine that would fix breakfast for their wives. Peter Browne designed the mechanics, and his friend Mervyn Huggett made sure the electronics worked. The machine cooks a soft-boiled egg, toast, and tea. It even delivers a newspaper and clears the dishes for you! It has extraneous lights, gadgets, and toys because the main goal is "to make people laugh." The two men say they put about a thousand hours of work into the project over three months, but it was worth it. Now, if only Simone Giertz could get her robots to work half as well… -via Uproxx | ||||||||
| Incredible Photos Of The Closes And Streets Of Glasgow In The Late 1800s Posted: 01 Jul 2016 06:00 PM PDT The mean streets of Glasgow circa the late 1800s are the stuff of legend, and many a tale has been told about the gangs and ne'er-do-wells who roamed those narrow streets and alleyways looking for an easy mark. The maze-like streets may seem like something Hollywood made up, but these old photos taken by Thomas Annan show the Glasgow streets really were as claustrophobic and sketchy as the movies make them out to be. Thomas opened a photo studio on Sauchiehall Street in 1857, and a few years later he was asked to photograph the Glasgow slums before the Glasgow City Improvement Trust began urban renewal. The compelling street photos shot by Thomas from 1868 to 1877 were published in a book called Old Closes And Streets Of Glasgow, which is now considered important historical documentation of old Glasgow.

| Posted: 01 Jul 2016 05:00 PM PDT Grandpa is a wise old man. He gives good advice when it’s to his advantage, because he’s spent a lifetime figuring other people out. The young man could learn more from Grandpa if he’d look a little deeper. And while Gramps may regret not skydiving in his youth, he certainly doesn’t want to do it now, because a nap on the porch with no interruptions is a lovely way to spend the afternoon. This is the latest from Buttersafe. | ||||||||
| Stay Cool - Carbonite Is Simply The Coolest! Posted: 01 Jul 2016 04:00 PM PDT Stay Cool by Cory Freeman Design Humanoids are always asking Han how he manages to look so aloof at all times, trying to glean his secret so they can earn a few more cool points, but Han ain't saying much at the moment. He's so cool his body has turned to pure carbonite, and when people ask him questions he just smirks and thinks about winking, which he can't actually do because he's essentially a big block of stone. But wars will come and go, and Han will still be the star of the show, just as cool as ever, forever and ever! Show the world you're the coolest sci-fi fan ever with this Stay Cool t-shirt by Cory Freeman Design, it's a hilarious way to earn a galaxy's worth of cool points!

| People Dressed as Pool Balls Re-Enact a Perfect Break Posted: 01 Jul 2016 03:59 PM PDT The long-running Japanese TV show Masquerade asks contestants to re-enact scenes with low-tech visual effects. The overall theme appears to be something like the pantomime tradition in Western theatre. Here's an impressive clip from that show. The performers are dressed as pool balls. The player smoothly breaks the rack, sending the heads rolling toward the pockets. -via Laughing Squid | ||||||||
| Colin Furze Builds the Ultimate Doorbell Posted: 01 Jul 2016 03:00 PM PDT Crazy inventor Colin Furze was tired of missing deliveries to his house, since he orders a lot of parts through the mail. So he built a doorbell that no one could miss. No matter where they are. Um, no thanks. The doorbell I have works just fine. The problem I have is getting anyone to use it instead of knocking lightly. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||

Good news, my otaku brothers! There may be opportunities beyond our dakimakuras! Yes, you love your waifu. But you need a backup plan in case things don't work out. That's why you should consider Otaku Speed Dating, a new dating service in New York City. It holds hour long speed dating events that match single anime fans with each other. At the end, the participants fill out cards expressing who they'd like to get to know better. The service then introduces matches to each other. Rocket News 24 gives us the details:

| Posted: 01 Jul 2016 01:00 PM PDT Oliver is five years old. He’s had a YouTube account for a month or so, and this is his first science video, in which we learn how to make a tornado in a jar. After the tornado in a jar, Oliver has some tips on how to stay safe in the event of a tornado. You’ll have to supply your own consonants. Outside of the science lab, Oliver does not resemble a mad scientist. Although he may grow up to be one someday! -via Viral Viral Videos | ||||||||
| Unaltered Images That Seem Like They're Photoshopped Posted: 01 Jul 2016 11:59 AM PDT People cry Photoshop when they think something's wrong with an image, but if they'd spent less time crying fake and more time Googling they'd see many of those supposed fakes are actually the real deal. Take this terrifying photo for instance: People screamed fake when it was posted, but if the accusers had simply rotated their point of view they would see it for what it really is- a visual gag done well. And then there are those who refuse to believe bright, vibrant colors like these can be captured in the wild, when we all know Mother Nature is one hell of a painter. People said a lizard couldn't be caught on camera while chillin' with a leaf, but those buzzkills were just trying to harsh this little guy's mellow. And as for the image at the top of the post- just a trippy optical effect caused by a tarp thrown over the Hausmannian building in Paris during renovation in 2007. No Photoshop, no bull!

| Posted: 01 Jul 2016 11:00 AM PDT Believe it or not, this picture was taken this morning at the Waterloo train station in London. A friend of redditor Raimon86 snapped it on the way to work. Others assure us that the same scene is happening all over Britain, as they commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.

| How on Earth Do These Optical Illusions Work?! Posted: 01 Jul 2016 10:00 AM PDT Kokichi Sugihara, a world-recognizedexpert on crafting optical illusions, has really outdone himself. My best guess is that the camera is angled precisely to create inaccurate impressions from both the viewer's perspective as well as the mirror reflection. When the hands turn the forms, they briefly take on strange shapes that don't jive with the previous impressions Sugihara quite rightly won second place at the Best Illusion of the Year competition this year with these odd cylinders. -via Nerdcore | ||||||||

| Posted: 01 Jul 2016 08:00 AM PDT How do you convince a baby to clean your house? It's really easy because before they hit the terrible twos, babies will do pretty much whatever you ask of them. The dad of the How to Dad YouTube channel shows how in his latest instructional video. The entire channel is worth exploring, as it provides helpful tips for new dads, such as how to put a baby to sleep, how to get a child to fetch you a beer, and how to develop a dad bod. -via Simone Giertz | ||||||||
| Ten Medical Innovations of World War I Posted: 01 Jul 2016 07:00 AM PDT The Battle of the Somme began 100 years ago today, July 1, 1916. The global toll was over a million dead and wounded in the battle that lasted for months. The number of wounded in World War I far exceeded anything the western world had seen before. As the war dragged on for years, medical personnel feverishly developed ways to evacuate the wounded, save lives, and alleviate suffering from the new and terrifying weapons that were used. Many of those innovations led to modern medicine and methods we take for granted today. A new exhibition at the Science Museum in London called Wounded: Conflict, Casualties and Care highlights some of those innovations, like blood transfusions.
Other medical advances that came out of World War I were oxygen masks, anesthesia delivery, prosthetic limbs, the portable fluoroscope, and more. Read about ten medical innovations of World War I at BBC Future. -via Digg | ||||||||
| Strong Is The Force, Of Course! - Luke And The Little Green Man Posted: 01 Jul 2016 06:00 AM PDT Strong Is The Force, Of Course! by djkopet With a wave of his hand the little green man sent Luke floating into the sky, and as he dangled there he couldn't help but stare at that tiny little guy.

| Rolls-Royce Unveils Their Futuristic Self-Driving Concept Car Posted: 01 Jul 2016 06:00 AM PDT Rolls-Royce put themselves in a rather precarious position by setting their price point so high few can afford their cars, and by making their cars so luxurious customers have come to expect interior perfection. And now that competing companies are upping the ante by adding cutting edge tech to their newer models Rolls has to work even harder to stay on top. So they've unveiled their concept car which represents the future of autonomous automotive technology- the Rolls-Royce 103EX. The 103EX features a massive OLED display, gull wing doors that light your way with a "red carpet" effect, and an artificial intelligence named Eleanor who will drive you around so you can relax in the lap of luxury. The future's looking mighty fancy! -Via Boing Boing |
