Watching the Beautiful, Intricate Handiwork of Scrimshaw
May 19, 12:00AM
Scrimshaw is a traditional art developed by 18th-century sailors on whaling ships. To pass the time during journeys that could last years, sailors took to hand-carving intricate, flowering designs in the cast-off teeth or bones of the whales they hunted. Whaling has long been outlawed, but scrimshaw lives on in the hands of masters like Brian Kiracofe, who showed his craft to the filmmakers at American Hand.
AT&T and DirecTV Will Follow the Old Net Neutrality Rules For 3 Years
May 18, 11:16PM
In the wake of such craziness as the Comcast-Time Warner merger and the FCC's proposed net neutrality rules that threaten to destroy the internet , AT&T and DirecTV are trying to be the good guys. AT&T, which announced its acquisition of DirecTV today, will follow the old, good net neutrality rules for three years.
Breaking Down Quotable Movie Lines By Grammatical Construction
May 18, 11:00PM
Are highly quotable, questionably cheesy lines essential to make an action movie good? Not necessarily—but they will help make them memorable. Long after the fight scenes and blow-'em-up sequences have faded from memory, we will—all of us—still be imitating Arnie in T2. Now you can follow the grammatical construction of some of cinema's most bad-ass and completely ridiculous catchphrases. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!
The hydroponic kitchen of the future!

The hydroponic kitchen of the future! You can come see it for yourself (in non-GIF form) if you swing by the home!
A Cordless Canister Vac Lets This Robovac Clean More Than Just Floors
May 18, 10:00PM
Even letting the cheapest of robo vacuums clean your floors is still better than wasting your precious time pushing an upright all around your home. But do you know where robovacs like the Roomba are still useless at cleaning? Everywhere other than your floors. So the new Deebot D77 from Ecovac includes a cordless, carry-able canister vacuum for eradicating dust anywhere above ground level.
AT&T Is Buying DirecTV for $50 Billion
May 18, 9:07PM
After nearly a month of will they or won't they , it's finally official. AT&T has entered into a "definitive agreement" to acquire DirecTV for a cool $50 billion. Meaning AT&T is about to hold the keys to roughly 26 million TV subscribers.
Watch This Table Transform Into Two Totally Different Shapes
May 18, 9:00PM
This brain-bender of a coffee table by Brooklyn-based designer Ian Stell looks like an oversized game of Jenga, but the slats have been engineered to shape shift from acute triangle to equilateral with absolutely no toppling. Pretty sneaky, Stell.
In the Future, You Can Eat What You Drink Too
May 18, 6:39PM
Don't worry, no one's eating glass in this GIF. That's the Loliware biodegradable edible cup.
The FCC Thinks We're All Idiots
May 18, 5:50PM
Just a few days ago, the FCC voted in favor of a pretty uniformly terrible proposal to allow internet fast lanes. And throughout the 99-page proposition, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler makes one thing painfully apparent: The FCC thinks we're all a bunch of goddamn idiots.
Researchers Make a Circuit So Flexible, It Can Wrap Around a Vein
May 18, 5:00PM
If we really want to get the dream of implantable electronics off the ground, we'll need to figure out how to make circuit boards flexible enough to morph and move with our bodies. Thankfully, a team at The University of Texas at Dallas seems to have solved that, with thin film transistors that are flexible enough to wrap around a nerve or blood vessel.
Crazy Humans Explain Why They Swim Outdoors in Below-Freezing Temps
May 18, 4:00PM
There are some folks for whom stripping down to a Speedo in the dead of winter to hop into in a snow-lined outdoor pool sounds like a special kind of frozen-over hell. And then there is this dedicated gang of water-lovin' types who will get their laps in at the London Fields Lido no matter the weather. It's a true testament to thick skin, dedication—and a damn fine public pool.
These Are the Streets You Want to Avoid When You're Riding Your Bike
May 18, 3:00PM
Whether you're a commuter or a leisure rider , when you head out on your bicycle you want to be safe. That could mean wearing a helmet, making sure your bike's tuned up, or avoiding the streets where the most bicycle crashes happen. That last part just got a little easier, thanks to these data-derived maps by You Are Here.
Report: Facebook Is Building an App to Take On Snapchat (Again)
May 18, 2:25PM
Well if you can't beat 'em (or buy 'em), might as well try to beat 'em again. Not quite as catchy as the original, but according to a report by the Financial Times, it's Facebook's newest strategy when it comes to ephemera. We could very well be seeing a Facebook-brand Snapchat clone as early as this month.
A Semi-Soft Silicone Ladle Would Scoop Out Every Last Drop
May 18, 2:00PM
Trying to get every last drop of liquid out of a serving bowl with a ladel is all but impossible. The contours of the rigid scoop and the bowl never seem to match up. But designer Jeho Yoon had a brilliant solution. Since a ladel made entirely from silicone would have no rigidity, he compromised by only making half the scoop from the flexible material, allowing it could squeeze into contoured corners.
You Can Now Make an Offer to Buy Dracula's Castle
May 18, 1:00PM
If you prefer your houses large, drafty, and associated with vampire lore, then now's your chance to bid for Bran Castle. The castle isn't technically up for sale, the owners insist, but they're willing to entertain offers from the "right" people. Buyer beware though—this isn't the only castle purporting to be Dracula's.
This Week's Top Comedy Video: Mark Zuckerberg vs. Pat Cassels
May 18, 1:00AM
Mark Zuckerberg turned 30 this week, which gave all of us nearly-30-somethings a reason to reflect on our chances of becoming the next social media billionaire. But not everybody's willing to admit that Zuckerbergian success is probably not in their future.
Meet the Illustrator Who Drew Kids' Books, Anti-War Posters, and Erotica
May 18, 12:00AM
At one point in the documentary Far Out Isn't Far Enough, French illustrator and provocateur Tomi Ungerer is sitting on a bench in a quaint town square, when from offscreen someone hands him a small, disembodied doll's arm. His face lights up; then he picks his nose with it. Meet one of the most wonderfully artistic, blissfully twisted octogenarians on the planet.
Just Like Stupid Humans, Fish Get Cocky When They Drink
May 17, 11:00PM
We humans love booze as liquid courage, but we're not the only ones who feel extra capable after a few swigs. New research shows that a tipsy zebra fish will swim faster than the sober fish in its school—like a big showoff. And just like humans, the sober fish will speed up rather than be outdone by a drunkard. Humans: basically, we're just big fish.

May 17, 10:00PM
Pro biker Danny MacAskill enjoys a casual Sunday bike ride, just like any of us. But for Danny, a leisurely ride includes some of the sickest jumps and stomach-dropping balancing acts you've ever seen. Luckily, he strapped a GoPro to his helmet so we could ride along, no broken collarbones involves.
Exploring the Great Outdoors From a Remote Control iPad-bot
May 17, 9:59PM
It's a beautiful day outside! You should go and get little sunlight. But you just can't bring yourself to move; the couch is just too comfortable. Luckily at Gizmodo's Home of the Future you can have it both ways, and it is glorious.
A-10 Thunderbolt attack jet lands on German highway
May 17, 9:01PM
It's hard to believe that it was less than seven decades ago that German highways were used by Luftwaffe pilots on their Messerschmitt bf109s or Focke-Wulf Fw 190s as improvised airstrips, but it's even harder to believe that A-10 Thunderbolts, F-16s, and even Hercules cargo plane can still do it today.
