The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Odditory (NSFW)
Jun 15, 4:00AM
I'm pretty sure having students play their heinies like bongos for the enjoyment of their instructor is illegal in at least 15 states, regardless of the lesson plan. And let's not even get into the desk licking, or the bra tearing, or the riding crops *shudder*

Jun 15, 3:17AM
If you go deep inside the desert or climb a mountain or find yourself in the South Pole or a remote farm or any place that can be considered 'the middle of no where', guess what? You have no internet. Well, Wired is reporting that Google wants to change all that by sending high-altitude balloons into the stratosphere to give the world Wi-Fi. Whoa.

Here's a Beer Glass That Can Only Stand Up Using Your Phone
Jun 15, 3:00AM
Here's a silly little invention that is wonderful because it'll either make you more drunk or more human, preferably both. It's a beer glass. Huh? Yeah, the base of this beer glass is shaved down so that it needs to be rested on top of your cell phone to stand up straight. If you're too busy using your phone? The beer will spill over. If you want to be a human and talk to people? You can sit your beer down perfectly fine.

This Week's Top Comedy Video: YouTube Ad Clusterf*ck
Jun 15, 2:00AM
Do you remember the good ol' days when YouTube didn't have any ads yet? Or the slightly worse but still pretty good days when there weren't any annoying pop up ads that stayed on top of your video? Or the definitely worse but still pretty cool days when you could skip every commercial after five second days? What ever happened to that. Now it's ads on ads on ads.

Facebook Is Finally Releasing Its Data on Government Requests
Jun 15, 1:36AM
Facebook is finally going to come clean. Or well, as clean as the government will allow it to. Like Google's Transparency Report and like similar reports given by Microsoft and Twitter, Facebook is releasing its data on the amount of government requests it receives. Of course, the numbers are completely unspecific but that's not exactly Facebook's fault, it comes with the territory.

Watch Flowers Dipped in Liquid Nitrogen Get Smashed in Slow Motion
Jun 15, 1:00AM
If you're a human, you've probably always been fascinated with liquid nitrogen. The freezing temperature. The sweet smoking effect. Hell, even the container that held liquid nitrogen was cool. And if you combine liquid nitrogen with slow motion, things get even better. Watch flowers and fruit get dipped into liquid nitrogen and then smashed into smithereens in slow motion. It's like seeing breaking glass explode. [Distort via Test Tube]

So What Would Happen if Superman Punched You in the Face?
Jun 15, 12:13AM
Man of Steel is out and if you want to get your eyes pummeled with insane fight sequences, I suggest you watch it. But what if Superman actually wanted to pummel your face instead? What would a punch by Superman feel like? A lot worse than even getting punched by Mike Tyson.

Stuck In The Sound - Pursuit
Jun 14, 11:00PM
Who doesn't enjoy getting lost in a big budget action adventure flick; maybe even pretending you're the swashbuckling hero, if just for a little bit. Well, French indie rock quartet, Stuck in the Sound, took those cinematic fantasies a step further in Pursuit, the title track from their identically-named 2012 album. Watch, you'll see.

Jun 14, 10:38PM
E3 is over, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop. An internal, seemingly official Microsoft PR document about the Xbox One just leaked out, but it's not full of horrible secrets, or general shadiness. Nope, it's actually full of good news that Microsoft just didn't bother to stress.

Jun 14, 9:40PM
The Kai Tak Airport, better known as Hong Kong International, dutifully served the island city for nearly three quarters of a century before shutting down in 1998. But rather than let that prime civic real estate fallow, the Hong Kong government has transformed it into a dazzling new cruise ship port.

Cover Your Walls In Brooklyn With This Wallpaper By Beastie Boy Mike D
Jun 14, 9:20PM
Yesterday, the New York Times ran a tour of the amazing Brooklyn townhome Beastie Boy Mike D lives in with his family. The house is super cool, but most of the stuff inside is either one-of-a-kind or wildly expensive, by non-famous-person standards. Except for the amazing Brooklyn-themed wallpaper that Mike D designed for the MoMA Store. And guess what? You can buy it!

I LOVE ALL CAPS AND I AM NEVER GOING TO STOP USING THEM
Jun 14, 9:15PM
THE U.S. NAVY ANNOUNCED TUESDAY THAT THEY WILL NO LONGER TRANSMIT INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS IN ALL-CAPS. LOWERCASE MESSAGES, THEY SAID, "PROVIDE A MORE READABLE FORMAT" AND ARE "HERE TO STAY." LOWERCASE MESSAGES ARE THE FUTURE. ALL-CAPS CAN SUCK IT.

How To Make a Multi-Layered Drink
Jun 14, 9:00PM
Drinks are generally one boring, homogenous color. Usually it doesn't matter because you're in a dark bar and we're drinking for the flavor (or more likely, to forget). But sometimes it's fun to shake things up. Add a little color, add a new dimension to your drink. And wouldn't you know it, the key ingredient is science.

The Promise of the Future Was That You Wouldn't Have to Code
Jun 14, 8:28PM
When I was in middle school there was nothing I wanted more in the entire world than to learn how to program my own computer games. So, armed with Foundations of Mac Programming, I spent weeks chugging along sporadically, doing my best to understand the concepts. Ultimately, I gave up. And I don't regret it one bit.
