May 24, 11:30PM
BOOM! That's what happens when you load 164 pounds of Tannerite, the aluminum and ammonium nitrate explosive used in exploding targets, inside a barn you want leveled. Fire at the Tannerite with a rifle, and take cover—bye bye, barn.

May 24, 10:05PM
Prolific doodler Marty Cooper carries around animation cels, a marker, and some Wite-Out as he wanders the city, creating whimsical scenes that turn mundane background imagery into charming mini-stories. And he painstakingly captures them on his iPhone to create the animated world of Aug(De)Mented Reality.

Wired reports that Hector Xavier Monsegur, a.k.a. Sabu, the LulzSec hacker who became an FBI informant and helped take down numerous other hackers , will be sentenced on Tuesday, May 27th.

What Would Change If Politicians Wrote Laws Based on Internet Polls?
May 24, 9:00PM
A new political party, designed by software devs and engineers, is joining the race in California. If elected, PlaceAVote's Congressional candidates vow to decide on every bill based on the majority vote of their constituents—as measured via online polling. Could that sort of direct, digital democracy improve how Congress works? Would it make government more dysfunctional? (Is the latter even possible?)
1914 Coney Island Diorama Is World's Largest Desktop-Printed Sculpture
May 24, 8:00PM
Luna Park opened in Brooklyn in 1903, during the heyday of Coney Island attractions. This weekend, artist Fred Kahl pays tribute to the park's history with a 3D-printed model depicting it as it appeared 100 years ago. It's being billed as the largest art installation ever created on a desktop 3D printer, and building it involved some fascinating, custom-made technology.
Meet the Man Who Makes WWE's Official Championship Belts in His Garage
May 24, 7:00PM
In pro wrestling, the moves may be fake choreographed, but the glittering gold-and-leather championship belts are very real. And while most of what happens at the WWE comes out of an enormously wealthy corporate powerhouse, CNN Money shows us the humble origins of those testosterone-cherished waist trophies: Dave Millican's house in Tony, Alabama.
Pot-Smoking Hackers, Amazon's Dirty Tricks, Surface Pro 3, and More
May 24, 6:00PM
This week sure gave us a lot to talk about over the long weekend. From a giant sinkhole that opened up mere blocks from our NYC office to the weird way that colorized photos are changing how we view history, here's the best of what we wrote about this week.
Lab Mice Got Really Unhealthy When They Only Ate Powdered Food
May 24, 5:00PM
With Soylent to eat (or I guess drink) and Palcohol to drink (or maybe eat), it seems the kitchen of the future will just be a blender. But don't haul your stove to the curb just yet: an admittedly small study says that mice who ate nothing but powdered nutrient ended up more sickly than their friends who had to chew.
How to Become an Astronaut
May 24, 4:00PM
So you want NASA to fly you to the moon and let you play among the stars. Maybe let you see what spring is like on a-Jupiter and Mars? Well, you're going to need more than a solid Sinatra impression to get NASA to accept you into its spacefaring ranks—a whole lot more.
Those looking to command a spacecraft must meet the following requirements:
Your "Gluten Intolerance" May Actually Be From Something Else in Wheat
May 24, 2:00PM
Oh gluten, the least trendy protein of our time. As gluten-free has transcended science and exploded into diet fad, scientists increasingly suspect that gluten intolerance—apart from actual celiac disease—doesn't exist at all. The true culprit could be a group of carbohydrates, including one in wheat called fructan.
Using Google Street View to Study the Great Barrier Reef
May 24, 1:00PM
The Catlin Seaview Survey is a Google and University of Queensland project using a nifty underwater camera rig to create a zoomable, 360-degree image of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Destin from SmarterEveryDay got to hitch a ride with the team that records this sea-floor Street View. You don't want to miss this.
The Most Awesomest Song About Dreamcatchers You'll Hear This Week
May 24, 4:00AM
Take a fun and fancy free tour of your subconscious in this delightful animated short. Because, really, who among us hasn't dreamt of 1000 Robocops dancing in order to awaken a Kracken while Emilio Estevez calls for the Flying V?
Watch this guy jump over an entire island while kitesurfing
May 24, 3:22AM
I'm fairly certain that the idea of jumping over an island has never crossed my mind in all my years of thinking. But if you're a champion kitesurfer like Youri Zoon and you stumble across a small enough island, well, that's just another day on the beach for you. Jumping the damn thing and nailing it is just how you live. Watch Zoon catch the perfect gust of wind and fly over an entire 120-foot island near New Caledonia. Sick.
Why the moon landings could have never EVER been faked
May 24, 2:39AM
I noticed that this article was being passed around again, so I watched the video once more. I forgot how amazingly good it is—so here it is again for your viewing pleasure: The definitive proof of why the moon landings could have never been faked:
Wow, this video makes India look like the most magical place on Earth
May 24, 1:53AM
I think I've seen the magic kingdom and it's in India. The architecture, the animals, the colors, the life, the people, they all add up to create one of the most visually spectacular places in the entire world. Jacob and Katie Schwartz captured parts of northern India in this video and it's a joy to watch.
This is how they load missiles on a US Navy ship
May 23, 11:44PM
I've seen them firing many times, but I've to confess that I've never seen one of these missiles systems getting loaded. It seems as easy as inserting a cartridge in a Nintendo Entertainment system.
Get to Know The Painters Who Turn Lettered Signs Into Modern Art
May 23, 11:00PM
There is something seriously satisfying about watching someone with steady hands drag a paint-laden brush along a smooth surface to make a picture-perfect letter. Sign Painters is a new documentary that offers that—so much of that—and profiles people in the in-flux industry who continue to make the way-finders and place-markers in our cities truly beautiful.
Pink Slime Is Back
May 23, 10:15PM
Remember the great "pink slime" panic of 2012? Well, it's back—both pink slime and the ridiculous panic surrounding it.

May 23, 10:00PM
Hey friends, it's the weekend—and not just any weekend, but a holiday weekend. For a lot of you, that means an extra day off work, and therefore an extra day to idly play around with your smartphone. Make it a great one with these, our favorite new apps.

Get ready, my friends. Get ready to feel all kinds of emotions.

Let's Talk About Whatever You Want Right Now
May 23, 9:39PM
"There's a long weekend in your future," the palm reader told me this morning. Perhaps she told you, too. Or perhaps she told you a stranger from the internet would bring you important news. That stranger is me. Welcome to the weekend.

May 23, 9:32PM
Dr. John All was taking snow samples on his own on Mount Himlung—in Nepal's Himalayas—when the glacier broke under his feet. He fell into a 70-foot crevasse and suffered multiple injuries, but he managed to escape using an ice pick, filming himself during an agonizing adventure that lasted six hours.
This USB-Friendly Flashlight Is So Bright It Hurts—in a Good Way
May 23, 9:30PM
Now that we all have pocket computers with camera flashes, the need for a good flashlight just isn't what it used to be. But if you're lost in the woods at midnight, that little LED is not going to cut it. The Maelstrom Regen MMR-X will.
Blood, Bondage, and Silver Bullets: How To Drink Gothic
May 23, 9:00PM
Vampires and zombies, ruined castles and gloomy dungeons: the scary tropes of Gothic horror, which first terrorized the world 250 years ago with the publication of Horace Walpole's Castle of Otranto, still colonize our imaginations today. What better way to celebrate the anniversary than by mixing yourself a Silver Bullet or Nosferatini and settling in for a Twilight marathon or to re-read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?
Tonight's Meteor Shower Will Be Like Watching the Jump to Light Speed
May 23, 8:40PM
Already being hyped as one of the best of 2014—with some calling it a once-in-a-lifetime experience—the Camelopardalids meteor shower, which starts tonight, will also be unlike many meteor showers you might have seen: Instead of lights streaming across the sky diagonally, the meteors will be radiating out from a very visible point in the sky. WHOA.
