Why Do Humans Play Games?

Mar 24, 1:00AM

Every March (as well as any number of other months), those of us who aren't into sportsketball ask ourselves this question: we do people care about sports at all?

Is Fashion-Conscious Design the Future of the Stapler?

Mar 23, 11:00PM

Most of the documents we send these days are digital, but when it comes to attaching the physical ones together, there's nothing quite as helpful—and satisfyingly clicky—as a good old-fashioned stapler.

What's The Most Annoying First World Problem You Are Still Waiting on Tech to Solve?

Mar 23, 7:00PM

As tech makes our lives easier and easier, the little incoveniences that are left just get more glaring by contrast.

These Exploding Droplets of Glass Are a Bewildering Quirk of Physics

Mar 23, 5:00PM

Making a Prince Albert's Rupert's drop is easy; you just let some molten glass drip into a bucket of water. But the resulting structure is so much more complex than the process that made it. The guys over at SmarterEveryDay took an in-depth look to explain why part of it can't be destroyed with a hammer, while its other half explodes with the slightest nick. More »

Mar 23, 2:00PM

Condoms are a life-saving piece of tech, and for being little more than uninflated latex balloons, they do their job pretty well if you wear them. That's the part that Bill Gates is working on. No, he's not going around as a one-man condom-police army, but he is offering $100,000 to anyone who can make a condom less of a bummer to wear. More »

A Stop Motion Video Showing the Drawing of an Art Model from Every Angle Brings the Sketch to Life

Mar 23, 6:00AM

Stop motion videos are usually charming because they're so bare boned, the choppy movements are part of the appeal. But at its most wonderful, stop motion videos can bring sketches or toys or static objects to life. This super creative idea from Wriggles & Robins shows just that—every angle of an art model is captured and translated to stop motion. More »





If Star Wars Was Set in Jurassic Park

Mar 23, 5:00AM

Mashing up two wonderful things into one ridiculously wonderful thing should be the constant goal of mankind. That's how we got smartphones. And gummy bears infused with alcohols. And designer drugs. One Minute Galactica imagined what would happen if we mashed up Star Wars and Jurassic Park and they came up with Jurat-at Park. I've watched both movies so many times that it's a no brainer that I would totally watch this movie. [Slacktory] More »

Mar 23, 3:00AM

Jiggle. Blubber. Bounce. Gravity's a bitch. It's especially unforgiving if you jump up and down naked while getting filmed at 2000FPS.

A Meteor Streaked Across the East Coast of the United States and No One Has a Damn Picture Of It Yet

Mar 23, 2:45AM

At around 8 o'clock tonight, a meteor that's been described as "huuuuge green" and "very bright" and "blueish" and "glowing green" and "pretty big" and "very slow and bright green" was spotted across the east coast of the United States from NYC to DC to Baltimore to West Virginia to Boston and basically any big city where millions of people live.

What Happens When You Drop a Hot Ball of Nickel Into Honey

Mar 23, 1:00AM

Because dropping super freaking hot balls of nickel is always fun to do, seeing it get dropped in various substances never gets old. This time, honey gets the hot nickel treatment. It starts pulsating like a geyser while getting all bubbly and foamy until it squashes the plastic container holding down the steam. At the very end, the honey turns into some kaleidoscopic goop. The video takes a while to get started but you can spend that time wondering what other things you can drop the ball in. [Cars and Water] More »

Grown up life can be scary with technology! More »

Mar 22, 11:20PM

If your watch has perpetual oyster movement, tells time in five zones, doubles as a Swiss Army Knife, slice and dices Julianne fries, speaks German and Swahili, and can survive a dunk in the Marianas trench but you don't use those "features" daily, congrats! You're a sucker for marketing. More »





Is This the Samsung Galaxy S IV Mini?

Mar 22, 10:49PM

When we found out Samsung was making a mini version of the Galaxy S III we got excited... and then we were disappointed because it was so boring. If these leaked photos are true, it looks like we'll be disappointed again because even though the S IV Mini has a svelte body and not ginormous 4.3-inch screen, the S IV Mini will have neutered specs compared to the big brother full size Galaxy S IV. Boo. More »
