What Life on Earth Would Look Like If Earth Had Rings Like Saturn
May 24, 5:00AM
Every so often when the Moon is especially ginormous or we can see Venus or Mars from Earth, humans collectively freaks out. So cool three exclamation points, we scream. Look how big with thirty i's, we yell. And it's warranted! Seeing things that don't belong in the sky pop up, well, in the sky is fun. So could you imagine if one day Earth developed rings like Saturn? It would be insane.

The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Planet Online
May 24, 4:00AM
Between ads for action figures, micromachines, and sugar-laden cereals, there used to be a time when Saturday morning commercials were just as riveting as the cartoons they interrupted—especially for gullible 8-year-olds. And though the ads themselves no longer deliver that overwhelming sense of excitement and grandeur, Neosignal's newest track adopts the same flashy, hyperactive style but with a modern twist.

May 24, 1:41AM
If you think you're looking at color palettes of different shades of brownish gray, you're not exactly wrong. I'm sure people would love to paint their bathroom Roman Rotunda Slate or some made up name like that. But it's not that simple. You're actually looking at the seasons—spring, summer, fall and winter—and you just don't know it.

You Don't Hate the Xbox One, You're Just Jealous
May 23, 11:18PM
Gamers seem to hate the Xbox One. If you wade into a comments section or ask a man-on-the-street at your local Mountain Dew distributer, you'll hear a variety of reasons why the Xbox One is not for gamers—why it's a horrible misstep, presumed dead on arrival. Some of these criticisms will ring a little truer than others, but none really tap into what's really eating at the gaming elite. They're mad that they're not the center of attention.

May 23, 9:53PM
As excitement over Google Glass builds, we all really need to take a step back and seriously think about how the new technology will impact our lives. Sure, having directions and face recognition always accessible could be kind of neat. But if you're already annoyed with people using smartphones and tablets as cameras, imagine a world where everyone's filming everything with their glasses.

Scientists Found the Itch Molecule—and They Know How to Turn it Off
May 23, 9:06PM
It is not the louse we hate. Nor is it the mosquito, shirt tag, wool sweater, chicken pock, or sudden rash that torments us—the itching itself is what drives us mad. But finally, scientists have been able to identify the molecule that signals our brain to start scratching us raw—and removing it kills itchiness forever. But don't we itch for a reason?

Tomorrow's Galactic Explorers Could Use Pulsars as Interstellar GPS
May 23, 7:00PM
Space is so ludicrously vast that keeping a precise fix on our spacecraft—even within the solar system—is really tough. So rather than track them from afar, a team of researchers want spacecraft to govern themselves—using pulsars.

Ride Along As a Madman Drives a Snowmobile Off the Edge Of a Mountain
May 23, 6:45PM
If there's one thing the popularity of GoPro cameras have given mankind, it's the ability to enjoy near-death experiences from a safe and comfortable remote vantage point. Like Erik Roner, who was kind enough to strap a couple of GoPros on as he drove a snowmobile off the edge of a cliff so we can all experience what it's like to almost end our lives prematurely.

A Tactical Apron For Chefs Who Take Their BBQ Very Seriously
May 23, 6:32PM
For some, barbecuing is simply a means to heat food that involves the opportunity to play with fire. For others, it's as serious an operation as open heart surgery. And if the act of grilling a steak is far more important to you than actually eating one, you won't ever want to go near a BBQ again without this tactical apron backing you up.

Incredible Slo-Mo Footage Of the Pistol Shrimp's Devastating Attack
May 23, 5:35PM
Most clawed crustaceans use their pincers like a pair of deadly scissors, either for defense or tearing apart their prey. But the Pistol Shrimp has developed a far more devastating use for it. Its claw is able to open and snap shut with enough force to create a cavitation shockwave that kills fish and even heats the water to an impossible 7,000+ degrees fahrenheit. If any creature was meant to be studied in slow motion, this is it.

Bowling with God: Vint Cerf Talks Time Travel, Porn, and Web Addiction
May 23, 5:22PM
They say that success has many parents but failure is an orphan. Judged by that standard—or any other—the Internet is a success. Al Gore invented it. Tim Berners-Lee got a knighthood out of it. Everyone was using it before it was cool. But only two men have ever borne the title "Father of the Internet." One is the late computer scientist Bob Kahn. The other is Vint Cerf.
