C-3P0 Is the Best Worst Rapper
Jun 30, 12:00AM
If there was a list of people (and robots) that should avoid rapping—and maybe there ought to be—C-3P0 would be sitting pretty far up towards the top. Fluent in six million forms of communication and not an ounce of flow.

Portland's New Streetlights Are Psychedelic, Carnivorous Plants
Jun 29, 11:01PM
If you've seen one streetlight, you've pretty much seen them all. They're important, sure, but they're usually not much to look at. The lamps that popped up across Portland are a little bit different. A little more like giant, carnivorous plants.

Jun 29, 10:00PM

All the Hidden Chemicals That Are Lurking In Your Coffee
Jun 29, 5:00PM
Caffeine. For most of us, that's the only chemical compound in coffee that's worth a damn. But that's far from the only thing that's hiding in that simmering cup of black (or light brownish) glory that you suck down every morning. Cockroach pheromones? Rotting meat-smell? Check and check.

Jun 29, 2:13PM
Plaster casts are bulky, obnoxious, heavy, inevitably sweaty, occasionally pink. In short, they are no fun. But this 3D-printed "Cortex" cast could change all that. Sure, it looks a little like a fishnet stocking, but have you seen a old-fashioned cast lately?

Jun 29, 1:17PM

These Heartbreaking Ads Show How Useless Facebook Likes Can Be
Jun 29, 5:00AM
We toss around likes as if they were high fives on the Internet. As affirmation of people doing the right thing. As oh hey look cool. As being silly and ironic. As the digital form of support. As a hug. As a fist bump. But what do those thumbs up actually do? Boosts someone's ego? Spreads your online seed? In reality, nothing.

Jun 29, 2:18AM
Combining the genius of Reggie Watts with the ridiculousness of Aziz Ansari can only mean good things. How good? A sweet serenade about eating sandwiches, tolerant veganism, muenster cheese and female attraction. Yeah, I know. I sing about those four exact things every day too.
