Oct 18, 1:18PM
The romanticized image of a picnic in a beautiful park on a sunny afternoon never seems to come to fruition once you actually have to deal with the logistics of dining on an uneven blanket. But all hope's not lost; a creation awkwardly called the Tablanket—a compact folding table with a blanket built-in—could potentially save your romantic outing.

One Photographer's Three Year Tour of NYC's Best Rooftops
Oct 18, 1:00PM
Even if you've lived in New York for decades, gaining access to a rooftop you've never explored can still be surprisingly fun: The burst of wind, the sound of traffic, and an entirely new vantage point on a city you'd think you'd be sick of after so many years. That's the basic concept behind Stories Above New York, a visual archive of New York's rooftop views that's three years in the making.

What If Famous Books Had Ridiculous Linkbait Titles?
Oct 18, 10:12AM
The thing about literature is that it takes itself so damn seriously. What if, for a change, instead of pretentious and opaque titles, famous books came with ridiculous linkbait titles instead?

A Brief Social and Scientific History of Perverts
Oct 18, 9:26AM
can be weird. Changes in societal norms and human psychology can mean that some things that once seemed perfectly normal suddenly become taboo—so unpicking the murky world of perversion can be both interesting and difficult.

What Happens When You Drop a Red Hot Nickel Ball Onto Aerogel
Oct 18, 5:00AM
Red hot nickel ball of fire meet your toughest opponent yet: aerogel. In fact, aerogel is such an amazing material and excellent insulator that the eternal flame of the nickel ball does absolutely nothing to it. Like, seriously. It affects the aerogel as much as the normal air around it (or in it too?). But hey. We're in the business of seeing destruction and in order to destroy aerogel, the nickel ball brought in reinforcements in the form of an hydrogen and oxygen flame. Everything burns eventually.

Impressive image shows America's newest aircraft carrier about to float
Oct 18, 4:45AM
The first time you see an American nuclear super-carrier in person, you can't believe the size. It's simply astonishing. It must be even more impressive if you see it like this, fully naked in a dry dock about to be flooded. Expand it to see it at full resolution.

Fujifilm XQ1: Fuji's New Tiny Cam Packs Tons of Power in Your Pocket
Oct 18, 4:30AM
When Fujifilm announced its beautiful pocket camera, the XF1, last year we were genuinely psyched, which made the camera's disappointing handling even more of a bummer. With the XQ1, Fuji has fixed some of the XF1's annoyances and packed in the same hot image sensor that's on the badass X20. Now we're talking.

The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: The Baron
Oct 18, 4:00AM
Sometimes, even the most earnest attempts at positive self realization don't work out quite the way we hope. Like when you are trying to impress your co-workers but end up crab walking in a leather uni-suit and fright wig while screaming, "I waltz through the valley of death, swatting wankers as I go!"

Stan Lee Explains Why 3D Movies Suck
Oct 18, 3:26AM
It's not that 3D movies aren't worth watching because some totally are (see: Gravity). It's that Hollywood loves to shove it down our throat as something new and fancy and some sort of advanced technology and trendy and bullcrap like that. It's not! Most of the times, 3D movies are made just to squeeze more dollars out of us (see: any movie in 3D not named Gravity). Comic God Stan Lee explains why he hates 3D perfectly in his latest rant.

This Next Generation Conveyor Belt Sushi Restaurant Is the Future
Oct 18, 2:48AM
Conveyor belt sushi restaurants are usually only worth going to once in your life. The sushi is hardly ever amazing since it spins on the belt over and over again while the dishes you actually want might be snatched ahead of you so you never get to eat it. Not to mention plates stacking on your table, plastic covers getting in your way and the lack of personalized orders. It's a gimmick! It's okay though, Japan has figured out those problems with this next generation conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

Watch People Freak Out When They See Ghosts Inside an iPhone Camera
Oct 18, 12:32AM
This prank is such pure evil genius that you can't help but laugh. And feel bad because you'd get freaked out too. Funny man Jack Vale scared the creepy crawly goosebumps out of people by asking strangers to take his picture with his iPhone. Why's that scary? Because Vale had pre-recorded a fake 'ghost' (or zombie) walking through the frame of the camera so people would think they just saw a dead person that wasn't there in real life move across the screen. What the people thought they were seeing in real time was actually a horrifying recording.

Could an Ignition-Activated "Car Mode" Keep Drivers From Texting?
Oct 17, 9:40PM
Texting while driving accounts for more and more accidents every year, but there's no clear solution in sight (unless you think these new SMS rest stops will work). New York designer Joey Cofone is proposing another idea: An iOS "Car Mode," akin to airplane mode, that would prevent you from texting while your car is in motion.

These Canoe Paddles Will Make Even Landlubbers Dream of the Sea
Oct 17, 9:00PM
After my wife and I went canoeing up in northern Minnesota a few months ago—on a lake near the town of Ely, where we had gone to visit the giant neutrino detector of the Soudan Underground Mine State Park—I became strangely obsessed with canoeing.

New York Subway Backpack Opens To Reveal an Eerily Empty Platform
Oct 17, 8:40PM
If there's one thing you can count on in a large crowded city like New York, it's that there's always someone waiting on the subway platform. So while we love this gorgeous $48 backpack from Mojo featuring a subway door screen print that actually opens to reveal a platform, we're left a little unsettled by the lack of passengers waiting to cram on.
