Ode to Yelling Cat Posted: 17 Jul 2020 11:20 PM PDT A classical musician created a harmony specifically to match this cat's wailings from r/funny You might recall the yelling cat video that went viral nine years ago. We posted the version that was dubbed in French by Faireset. Now we have the musical. Irish classical pianist Conor Broderick analyzed the cat's tune and made a harmonic arrangement around it.  "Today I harmonised a deranged yelling cat," the musician writes, describing the edit as his "magnum opus". "I have too much free time," Broderick writes at the end of the video. "What is wrong with me?" Absolutely nothing, Conor, you are doing the Lord's work. You may have to click the image twice to start the video. -via reddit

Decameron Row Posted: 17 Jul 2020 11:20 PM PDT Decameron Row is a quarantine art project that invited 100 artists from all over the world to contribute a one-minute video of what they've been doing during lockdown. At the site, you'll see a building. Click on one of the lighted windows to launch a video. Then another, and another. From the about page: In Boccaccio's 14th-century Decameron, a group of friends avert the loneliness of quarantine during the Black Death by squatting together in an abandoned villa outside of Florence and telling each other stories — 10 people, 10 days, 100 tales. Their stories gave them solace. Since in this moment, global community cannot meet under one roof for comfort and insight, we wondered, how could we gather people from all over the world into one neighborhood, onto one street, where they could share their disparate responses? In this idiosyncratic, virtual place, the curious could click on a window and peek into each others' lives, much like we had already been doing with one another. Decameron Row is an experiment in community. We've been deliberate about diversity and geographic variety, but we've chosen to be guided more by intuition, the generosity of others, and happy accidents than by curatorial intention. The result is a quirky and incomplete record of this strange time. We hope you find it diverting. New videos will be added weekly through the summer until all the windows are occupied. So far, 27 windows are illuminated, so that's 27 bite-sized videos for all of us to enjoy. Check it out here. -via Boing Boing

Norway Bans The Use Of Palm Oil In Biofuels To Stop Deforestation Posted: 17 Jul 2020 10:03 AM PDT The Norwegian Parliament voted to ban the purchase of biofuels made with palm products that do not demonstrate that they were produced sustainably. This makes Norway the first country to ban the use of palm oil in biofuels to stop deforestation, as Vocal detailed: In June 2016, Norway became the first country in the world to ban deforestation. To this end, the Norwegians promised that all products in their markets would come from products with "clean" production chains. A first measure was to stop donations, contracts and national investments with companies that had ties to deforestation. Now, the country takes a new step forward in the fight against deforestation, by approving the ban on the Norwegian biofuel industry from buying palm oil and other products associated with deforestation. "The Norwegian Parliament decision sets an important precedent for other countries and underscores the need for serious reform to the global oil palm industry, " said Nils Hermann Ranum of the conservation group Rainforest Foundation Norway after the decision. image via Vocal

Eating 100 Plates From The Sushi Train Conveyer Belt Posted: 17 Jul 2020 10:03 AM PDT I wouldn't be able to handle this much food, or spend a huge amount of money for a lot of sushi. But the Internet always gives us an opportunity to experience eating a lot of good food without paying, so watch as this woman eats one hundred servings of sushi. Get some snacks too, so you won't be that hungry watching her!

Colorful Characters Are Ready To Greet Visitors At Nantes’ Jardin Des Plantes Posted: 17 Jul 2020 07:51 AM PDT Paris-based artist Jean Jullien created a cast of playful and colorful sculptures that are scattered around Nantes's Jardin des Plantes. Part of a new exhibition called 'Filili Viridi', each sculpture spans more than eight meters and they can be found around the park floating in a fountain, raking the grass, or joining hands to hug a tree.  image via Colossal

Real-Life Wedding Crashers Posted: 17 Jul 2020 07:49 AM PDT The 2005 movie Wedding Crashers was a comedy, but there really are people who make a game out of going to weddings where they don't know anyone, eating the food, sipping cocktails, and bringing no gift. It's not common, but it happens. Orly Minazad went to many strangers' weddings in Iran, where the crowds are big and no one minded. Fred Karger is the "World's Greatest Party Crasher," although he doesn't do weddings. And then there's Sean, who exemplifies the dudes from the movie.     Sean, a miner stationed in Juneau, Alaska, is one such man. Though he's pushing 50 now, he was a prolific crasher back in the day, cutting his teeth at the fancy weddings that took place in the airy ballrooms of Anchorage's finest hotels. He fell into crashing somewhat naturally after he and his buddies — who worked as bellmen — started noticing that the extravagant weddings that took place inside their hotel were often full of "free booze" and "babes," both of which were often bragged about by the drunk men who stumbled down the carpeted hallways in undone ties. Sean and his friends knew they couldn't get away with crashing weddings at their hotel, so they developed a habit of inserting themselves into weddings at some of the fancier ones around town. Their bellmen background came in handy; as hospitality professionals, they had the "gift of gab," and were accustomed to dressing up, striking up chipper conversations and moving around hotels like they knew where they were going. Read about real-life wedding crashers and how they do it at Mel magazine.
