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.

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.

Jun 28, 10:00PM
This week was a little light on Android app quantity, but the quality of the ones we do have for you is pretty fantastic. Perhaps not entirely, well, 100% ethical in a certain WiFiKiller's case—but fantastic nonetheless.

Over-Engineered Speaker Cables? Nope, Actual Speakers
Jun 28, 8:40PM
Do you live in a bizarre, warped, Escher-style home that's made installing a booming sound system next to impossible?

How to Meet an Online Friend in Real Life Without It Being Awkward
Jun 28, 8:32PM
You're not looking to bang every person you meet online. Sometimes, you're just looking for friends. But somehow, meeting someone you know online platonically has become a far more awkward endeavor than a random OKCupid date. You know her but you dont know her. Do you shake hands? Do you hug? Do you do that open-palmed half-wave? God forbid she goes for the hug and you go for the handshake like you're in some jerking, uncoordinated, chest-poking dance.

These Fur Coats Are Made Entirely of Human Chest Hair Because… Milk?
Jun 28, 7:29PM
If you were an advertising executive tasked with selling chocolate milk, what approach would you take? Fun cartoon characters? Promoting the health benefits of calcium? Touting its delicious taste? Wrong, wrong, wrong. The right answer is to commission the creation of a fur coat hand-woven from over a million strands of male chest hair. Because nothing pairs better with food than human hairs.
