I Want to Ride All These Insane Roller Coasters from the Centrifuge Brain Project

I don’t like riding roller coasters because I’m a big weenie when it comes to mechanical excitement. But I have no problem believing that I would ride these ridiculously thrilling (and totally fake) roller coasters from the Centrifuge Brain Project. The first roller coasters in the video start off harmless enough that you could believe…

An Awesome Interactive 72,000 LED Display Is What Every Children’s Hospital Needs

This is wonderful. Jason Bruges Studio created an interactive installation that can react to touch and reveal digital animals inside a children’s hospital. It’s really clever, there are 70 LED panels with 72,000 LEDs in total hidden behind the wallpaper of the rainforest. When started, the wall makes it seem as if animals are traveling…

Are Google Ad Results Racist? (Updated)

It’s tough to imagine computers and robots and electrical wiring being racist but a Harvard study has found “significant discrimination” in advertising results depending on the perceived race of the name you search for. Names typically associated with black people produced more ads related to crime. Searches for white names would be harmless. That would…

How the Heck Did This Photographer Take These Falling Self Portraits?

Kerry Skarbakka is a photographer who loves to capture himself falling to the ground. It could be falling off from a ladder, falling off from a building, falling in the shower, falling while lifting weights and/or anything horrible and awful and terrible that you would never ever want to fall off of. How does he…

This Woman Is Going to Be the First Porn Star to Go to Space

Coco Brown, whose work I’m surprisingly not exactly familiar with but has appeared in adult masterpieces like Big Booty Bomb 2, is training to become the first porn star to ever go to space. She’s already paid $100,000 to be part of a SpaceXC mission for 2014 and has already gone through anti-gravity training for…

Watch the Spellbinding Process of How Nikon Makes Its Lenses

It’s a work of art. The magnificently choreographed dance of manufacturing lenses seems like an ancient tradition as old as making swords or soap or something (which I guess isn’t surprising because it is glass that they’re making). We’ve seen Nikon produce the glass inside its lenses but this video shows the entire lens making…

The Secret Algorithm That Controls Everything About Orange Juice

If you ever wondered how orange juice can always taste so damn perfect every time you have it, it’s because of an algorithm. Coca Cola, which makes Simply Orange and Minute Maid, has an algorithm called the “Black Book” which allows it to standardize Mother Nature. It’s crazy. We knew the odd process that orange…

Here’s GoDaddy’s Super Bowl Commercial with a Supermodel Kissing a Nerd

Because the Super Bowl brings out the sleaziest in GoDaddy (no small feat!), its commercial is always water cooler fodder the Monday after Super Bowl. So get this: supermodel Bar Refaeli making out with uber-nerd (and extraordinary extra) Jesse Heiman because that sells websites. Of course Danica Patrick makes an appearance in the commercial (she’s…

Twitter Has Been Hacked: 250,000 Twitter Accounts Compromised

Why the Hell Does Hulu Show Spoiler Commercials for the TV Show You’re Watching?

Hulu, for all its good intentions and fairly solid stream quality, kind of sucks. It doesn’t have enough TV shows, it doesn’t have enough episodes, you still have to watch commercials even when you pay for Hulu Plus but worst of all, sometimes those commercials you’re forced to sit through are about future episodes of…

Google Street View Captured a Couple Getting Naked in a Fitting Room

Because Google Street View is the all seeing eye of the universe, it has done wonderful things like go underwater, trek the Grand Canyon and… blessing us with an endless amount of laughter because of the ridiculous things Street View finds. This one might top it all though. A couple was found pants down (or…

Did Path Screw Up and Steal Your Data Again?

Yikes. Path, which got in trouble around this time last year for stealing your entire address book without your permission, might have another privacy snafu on its hands. The app will automatically geotag your photos even when you’ve completely disabled Location Services for the Path app. It’s basically doing something you explicitly told it not…

Long Exposure Photographs Reveal How Lovers Sleep

I’m such a wild sleeper that sometimes I wake up in the most awkward of positions. Face planted, facing the wrong direction, diagonal, on the completely other side—you name it, I’ve woken up in it. I was always wanted to know my movement patterns. Photographer Paul Schneggenburger created a photography series that showed long exposure…

Some days, after a good night’s rest and a protein rich breakfast, my brain works wonderfully. It’s well wrinkled, filled to the brim with answers and snapping synapses.
