Aug 02, 5:00AM
Confession: I don't drink coffee. I know next to nothing about what makes a good cup of brown flavored water other than it involving sniper precision measurements, calculus-level math, tools that are fit for a serial killer, forearms that would make Popeye jealous and a full beard.

Aug 02, 3:19AM

But! The things you do on the computer at work should probably be different from your Internetting at home. But sometimes you forget! Sometimes you use your work computer to go to porn sites. Sometimes you click a NSFW picture from your cubicle. Sometimes you opened Excel at home *GASP*.

Aug 02, 2:30AM
Though we may think we pump out roses when it's go time on the ivory throne, nobody in their right mind would actually want to keep those roses around. So flush them away and down the magical toilet they go! But where do they go? To the vague destination of the sewers. And then where? To the ocean? To the city "river"? To anywhere that's away from here? AsapScience explains the cycle of poop, from your bowels into the system with condoms and pebbles through bacteria and sludge into fertilizer for more poop.

Aug 01, 10:56PM
This may not come as a huge surprise, but life is different for the rich and the poor. Rich people relax by eating oysters. Poor people relax by smoking cigarettes.

By now we all know that too much salt is bad for you. Excess salt intake leads to high blood pressure, which leads to all kinds of terrible things.

Besides, how much is "too much"? The folks at Thanko have brought some hard numbers to this ambiguous world with their new Handy Salt Meter.

What Queen Elizabeth II's Speech Would Have Been If WWIII Had Happened
Aug 01, 8:51PM
The early 1980s was a time of serious dread for many people worried that the U.S. and the Soviet Union might start World War III. And it's easy to understand why. One wrong move by either nuke-equipped country, and it was the end of civilization as we knew it. In fact, that's nearly what happened on September 26, 1983 when a Soviet early warning system falsely detected U.S. missiles headed for Russia. Had Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov not been skeptical, there's little doubt we'd have seen World War III. And a newly released speech written for the Queen of England gives a peek at what that alternate history may have looked like.
