Dec 24, 3:14PM
Just because a blockbuster tanked at the box office, doesn't mean the talented folks who worked on the film didn't pour their hearts and souls into every frame. Especially those responsible for a film's visual effects, whose work often goes unnoticed when they've done their job right.

This amazing T-rex illusion is somehow moving its head to follow you
Dec 24, 2:00AM
As far as tyrannosaurus rex replicas go, this one seems pretty cheery. Sure, it has sharp teeth and claws but they look playfully toothy. One thing scary about it though: the head and eyes seems to follow you wherever you go. Like the paper T-Rex is watching your every move. What's scarier? It's not actually moving. How is this possible?

City lights are almost as beautiful as stars in this time lapse
Dec 24, 1:00AM
It's usually one or the other. If you live in a big city, you forgo nature and stars in the sky. And if you live under the starry night sky, you're out in the boonies far away from civilization. But what if you can have both?

Whoa, this YouTube video will hurt you when you watch it
Dec 24, 12:00AM
We've all heard about the placebo effect but what about the nocebo effect? That's when you take something completely harmless but begin to think something harmful is happening to your body. This informative video by CGP Grey takes a deeper dive on it and reveals how some studies showed people gaining rashes from harmless injections when told side effects were rashes, people getting addicted to non-addictive pills and so forth. A fascinating discussion about our ability to fake ourselves out.

Let's laugh at all these old ridiculous inventions we came up with
Dec 23, 10:52PM
Visions of the future from the past always serve as an endless source of comedy. Look how dumb we were! Look how silly those people look! Look! Look! It's completely true. Our imaginations of the future are rooted in the limits of today which typically makes it an awful thought exercise. So in a few years, we'll look back at 2013 and poke fun of ourselves. But in the mean time, let's laugh at the 1930's and 1940's for these ridiculous inventions.

Every year, my parents' neighborhood in Dallas goes all-out for Christmas.

A Toaster For a Single Slice of Bread Is Nothing To Be Sad About
Dec 23, 10:00PM
Most people's first reaction to a toaster with just a single slot is to feel pity on the lonely soul who would need such a device. But that's the wrong reaction to have here. The pity part is ok—but not because the probable owner of this toaster must be single and lonely. It's more likely because they live in an incredibly cramped apartment with a kitchen no bigger than a closet.
