Flying race car narrowly avoids decapitating another pilot
Jul 18, 1:46AM
The best part about the video—other than that ridiculously close call of the flying race car launching right pass the driver—is how the driver who almost got crashed into, calmly fixes his side view mirror and keeps driving.
Yikes, these animal hybrids are so hilariously terrifying
Jul 18, 1:27AM
Don't be surprised if in the future crazy scientists will have tampered with genetics so much that they'll create insane animal hybrid mashups. And not just designer dogs but psycho frigs, horsquirrels, eagluanas and chinchillapotamuses. They'll probably look a lot like these excellent photoshopped animals.
The Greatest Eulogy of All Time For a Broadway Legend
Jul 18, 12:00AM
Elaine Stritch passed away today at the age of 89.

Electricity-Eating Bacteria Are Real and More Common Than We Thought
Jul 17, 11:47PM
In the extreme world of bacteria, stunts such as living in hot springs or without oxygen are, like, totally unimpressive. But then there are bacteria that live off electricity, feeding directly on naked electrons. Even more surprisingly, scientists are finding that these bacteria are not even that rare.
These lunar shoes make you feel like you're walking on the moon
Jul 17, 11:40PM
To celebrate the 45th anniversary of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, Nike has made a pair of shoes that'll make you feel like every step you take is on the moon. Because of the all over lunar print, the silhouette of the shoe completely disappears and makes it look like the shoe is made from moon rock.
What's hiding behind these giant holes on the Moon?
Jul 17, 11:37PM
You've probably seen the mysterious giant hole that was discovered in Siberia, which appears to lead into a large cave. We don't know its origin yet, but it isn't the only hole like that on Earth. Or the Moon: NASA found these formations there too, which are perfect for future human outposts. Or current alien/Nazi UFO bases.
How a Cat Poop Parasite Could Help Scientists Beat Cancer
Jul 17, 11:11PM
This week, a team of researchers at Dartmouth announced an exciting, if terribly disgusting, medical discovery. A single-celled parasite usually found in cats' intestines—and later in their poop—shows unique promise as a cancer treatment. The researchers even think the parasite could enable them to create personalized cancer vaccines.
MØ's Infectious Electropop Is the Perfect Backyard Barbecue Backdrop
Jul 17, 11:00PM
Copenhagen-based singer MØ (real name: Karen Marie Ørsted) was described to me as the Danish Lady Gaga by my Danish friends, who saw her last week at the Roskilde Festival. I think she's closer to the Danish Grimes , though there's no need to compare her to anyone: MØ's splashy, bombastic electro-pop isn't only good relative to her contemporaries. It's just good, and it's exactly what I want to hear this weekend while I'm eating watermelon and drinking several shandies at a backyard event that involves grilling meat.

This Chlorine-Free Pool Is Biofiltered and Freaking Beautiful
Jul 17, 10:08PM
'Tis the season for stripping down and getting wet in the great outdoors. Unfortunately, the chlorine and chemicals used to keep man-made, al fresco watering holes clean can do a number on sensitive skin, which makes this Swiss pool all the more appealing; Herzog & de Meuron designed this beautiful lagoon with biofilters. Au naturel, ooh la la!
A Hoodie Made From Speaker Fabric Won't Muffle Your Headphones
Jul 17, 9:50PM
Originally designed for home or recording studio use, over-the-ear headphones somehow became a popular choice for music aficionados on-the-go. We can probably blame Sony's Walkman for that, but it means that Betabrand's new Audio Engineer's Hoodie—which uses speaker fabric on the hood so headphones can be worn over it—isn't necessarily just for those hiding in an over air conditioned studio all day.
How the Internet Is Helping a Father Fight an Illness Unknown to Science
Jul 17, 9:30PM
In 2012, Matt Might sat down to write a blog post. The 5,000-word essay titled "Hunting Down My Son's Killer," which was also republished on Gizmodo , documented his and his wife's harrowing attempt to make sense of their son's mysterious illness. The post went viral online—setting the family down a road that could change medical research. In the New Yorker, journalist Seth Mnookin tells the story of what's happened since.

Why Google Is So Interested In Kenya's Transit System
Jul 17, 8:07PM
The thousands of graphics-covered minibuses called matatus that zip through Nairobi make up one of the largest (and liveliest) informal transportation systems in the world. This unregulated—some might say renegade—transit keeps the city moving rather efficiently, and, until recently, was an all-cash business. Until Google stepped in.
My Life in Canadian Netflix Hell
Jul 17, 7:50PM
I'm American, but I've spent a big chunk of the last eight years in Canada, first for affordable education, and then for love. Canada is a gentle foster motherland, suckling me on her polite, maple-flavored bosom. But Netflix here is some bootleg FUBAR bullshit.

Jul 17, 7:36PM
General Atomics has a new cockpit for their MQ-1 Predators and MQ-9 Reapers, two of the most common hunt-and-kill drones used by the USAF, capable of destroying basically any ground—and some air—targets. It looks like a dream gaming setup. Heck, it even includes a gamepad (check out that guy's lap.)

Jul 17, 7:30PM

These Cemeteries Are All That Remain of Mountains Destroyed by Mining
Jul 17, 6:35PM
Mountaintop removal mining is exactly as destructive as it sounds. In West Virginia coal country, entire mountaintops have been stripped into barren wastelands for the sake of coal. But every once in a while, you'll see a lonely island of green—a centuries-old cemetery that just barely continues to exist.
