Travel Back to the Non-Existent Past With a Functional Google BBS
Nov 15, 3:11PM
Back in the day, the internet was hard. There weren't search engines or pretty HTML5 websites. There weren't address bars or social networks. You had to dial up other computers and make connections yourself. At least that's what they tell me.

And unlike similar wireless thermostats from Honeywell and Nest, Starck has ensured that Netatmo's offering doesn't overcomplicate things.

Harness Thor's Mighty Mjölnir Hammer To Charge Your Gadgets
Nov 15, 2:20PM
With seemingly unlimited celestial power, it only makes sense that Thor should share a little bit of the Mjölnir Hammer's capabilities with humanity when he's not battling Loki or alien invaders. After all, a dead smartphone can be just as catastrophic to some people as the world ending. And while it might not be Thor's exact hammer, this version of the Mjölnir is far more useful to humans addicted to their phones.

12 Temples of American Finance Gone to Waste
Nov 15, 2:00PM
In 19th and early 20th century America, fledging banks depended on conveying stability and trust to their customers. That usually meant architecture—and the construction of pint-sized Greek and Roman monuments in towns all over the country.

Bloomberg: Samsung's Planning a Three-Sided Wraparound Display Phone
Nov 15, 1:46PM
If your phone is lacking one thing, it's a display that covers multiple sides of its boring little rectangular frame. At least, that's according to Samsung, because Bloomberg is reporting that the company has plans to produce a phone with a curved OLED screen which wraps around three of its sides.

Doctors Aren't Actually Bound by the Hippocratic Oath
Nov 15, 1:00PM
A binding agreement, as much a social contract as Social Security or Medicare, the traditional Hippocratic Oath holds those who swear to it to a strict code of professional and personal conduct. Contrary to popular belief, though, most doctors never take this oath—and, actually, most of us are probably glad they never do.

What Earth Would Be Like if Humans Had Never Existed
Nov 15, 12:15PM
It's one of those things you've probably idly wondered but never really lent masses of thought: what the hell would the planet be like if humans had never existed? Fortunately, this video tries to explain.

Nov 15, 10:50AM
The PS4 has landed and it's great—but what lurks beneath its slick, slanted frame? Fortunately that's not something you need to keep wondering, because iFixit has gone and torn the console down so we can all see the guts within.

What Your Email Signature Says About You

What you type in your email says a lot about the kind of person you are—but what you add at the bottom of every message can be just as revealing. Your email signature can speak volumes about your personality.

Watch people get pranked into thinking they're trapped in an IKEA room
Nov 15, 6:00AM
This is hilarious. Imagine shopping inside IKEA and hopping inside one of those strategically decorated rooms where every single thing has a price tag and playing with the faucet and looking at all the weird Swedish names and then... realizing you have no idea how to get out. That's because you've just been pranked. There's no way out anymore. The original entrance has been replaced with a room that just boxes you in. Genius.

Robot deers catch illegal hunters who shoot at them
Nov 15, 3:48AM
Though it may look like a deer, though it may move like a deer and though it may even smell like a deer... it still might just be a robotic deer that officials use to catch illegal deer hunters. Like the robot deer above, who totally looks like a normal deer but actually got a hunter who shot the robot in the neck arrested.

Everything you didn't notice about Back to the Future
Nov 15, 2:33AM
Usually, CinemaSins makes a hilarious video pointing out all the goofy errors and everything wrong with a popular movie and we all get a good laugh out of it. But when it comes to a classic like Back to the Future, well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that masterpiece of cinema! Not Doc Brown's science, not the continuity errors, not Marty's logic and most certainly not anything dealing with the DeLorean. So think of this video as things you maybe didn't notice—instead of things wrong—about Back to the Future.

Nov 15, 1:52AM
Think you're cool cause you can blow o's when you smoke? Mother Nature has still got you beat. Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy took a little break from erupting to blow O-shaped smoke rings hundreds of feet in diameter to make every smoker and pot head in the world jealous. Just look at it. It's perfect!

How the hell did they cram an aircraft engine inside this van?
Nov 15, 12:31AM
This rather nondescript van is being powered by something much more beastly than your usual pistons: an actual airplane turbine engine. Seriously, over in Russia they crammed a real gas turbine engine inside this van (it fills up the whole van, basically) with gigantic hoses, an humongous fuel tank and a sweet control panel. It's so powerful that it's used to help power planes.

Nov 15, 12:00AM
What do you get when Google, the University of Maryland, and NASA's Landsat 7 satellite team up? A very sobering view of man's impact on the earth. It only took us 12 years to destroy all that forest.

These Pencils Eventually Sharpen Into Spinning Tops
Nov 14, 11:30PM
What do you normally do when you've sharpened a pencil down to a nub—just throw it away? That's the most likely outcome, but if you opt for these wonderful Spincils, you're instead left with a spinning top to add to your collection of desktop distractions.

What Finally Makes Train Travel Bearable Might Be… Starbucks?
Nov 14, 11:20PM
Trains are awesome. Their serpentine strings of steel cars travel hundreds of miles an hour, yet give passengers enough stability to sip a tasty beverage. On the other hand, trains are awful. Have you ever seen the sickly cafe cars that serve those drinks?

Nov 14, 11:00PM
OK, if you are one of those weirdos who thinks GIFs are irritating and pointless, this website that lets people insert their own faces into a variety of animated scenarios will not please you. Not one bit.
