How to Make the Worst YouTube Video in the World
Aug 28, 8:00AM
Have you noticed this trend in YouTube? You watch a video on YouTube. Maybe it's a minute, maybe it's two. Maybe you laughed, maybe you didn't. But then there are 5 minutes of additional post-video video that tells you to either subscribe to their other channel, add them on Facebook, tweet out a shoutout, click on their next video, see what they're up to, shill for a sponsor and maybe even do all of the above.

Melting Vinyl Records into Skulls Is Hauntingly Beautiful
Aug 28, 2:23AM
Dead media like cassette tapes, video tapes, CDs, DVDs and so forth should die. I have no problem admitting that. They take up space, offer a worse experience and are just unnecessarily inconvenient now. Who cares that I have a CD tower filled with music? Where would I ever listen to all that? But none of that applies to vinyls, which has maintained its charm. That's why seeing melted record skulls is so much more haunting.

Walking a Tight Rope Over a Canyon Never Looked Like Such a Party
Aug 27, 11:20PM
Leave it to our friends at Devin Super Tramp to make walking on a tight rope over a canyon look like such a freaking party. To be completely accurate, the people on the rope are actually 'highlining' which is like tight roping without the pole. I'd probably pee my pants just from setting one toe on the line. Points for using a Drone to create the tight rope though. [Devin Super Tramp]

This Clever Map Compares Chicago Before and After the Great Fire
Aug 27, 7:44PM
When the proverbial cow kicked over the proverbial lantern on a Tuesday night in 1871 Chicago, it set in motion an urban transformation that would see its hodgepodge of wooden buildings replaced with the Windy City we know today.
