The Walking Dead Was Fun for the First Time Ever

Whenever things get too dark on TWD—usually when a main character dies—the show likes to follow up with a light-hearted episode. Case in point: while last week’s episode was unbelievably brutal and horrific, last night’s “The Well” was easily the most delightful The Waking Dead has ever been. But there was a lot more to…

This Guy Treats His Back to the Future Nike Mags Like a Newborn Baby

If you’re still heartbroken about not winning a pair of the Nike Mag self-lacing sneakers, you might want to skip this video.

RC Stunt Chopper Defies the Laws of Physics

When ancient humans looked to the skies, they dreamed of flight. When modern birds look with jealousy and annoyance to see who’s making them look like a bunch of chumps, they see RC helicopter stunt pilot Alan Szabo Jr. The footage from this flight appears to be sped up. It isn’t. The illusion is testament…

The First Trailer for Life Promises a Tense Scifi Horror Story

Discovering the first extraterrestrial lifeform in our solar system will probably be a wonderful thing. What happens next, according to next summer’s big science-fiction film, won’t be quite so wonderful. Directed by Daniel Espinosa and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Olga Dihovichnaya, Ariyon Bakare, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Ryan Reynolds, the 2017 release takes place about…

How to Stay on the Strongest Wi-Fi Network at All Times

It’s not easy living without WiFi, especially when you’re traveling, so when your phone is in range of a steady wireless connection, you probably want to stick with it. Unfortunately, our phones aren’t always the best at identifying the strongest WiFi signal, but there are ways to fix this. On Android, you’ll stay on your…

Leg Waxing in Extreme Slow Motion Is Excruciating to Watch

We already know that waxing any part of your body is extremely unpleasant. But the point is further driven home when you watch The Slow Mo Guys wax their own legs at 28,000 frames per second through the lens of a Phantom V2511 slo-mo camera. Living with hairy legs doesn’t seem so awful in comparison.…

What Is the ‘Monster Mash’? An Investigation

When it comes to seasonal novelty songs, few have reached the level of dominance achieved by “Monster Mash.” Unlike, say, “Jingle Bells,” The Mash (as I will refer to it throughout this post) is now basically synonymous with its associated holiday, becoming the first and maybe only Halloween song readily named by the average person.…

Vine Stars’ Secret Plan to Save App: Give Us a Million Dollars

After months of declining user numbers, Twitter announced that it was killing short-form video app Vine on Thursday. To explain the platform’s stagnation, some might point to its failure to attract the hundreds of millions of casual users that drive growth on similar apps like Snapchat and Instagram. Vine’s own former stars, however, have a…

Jill Stein Still Ambivalent About Wi-Fi

In her latest Reddit AMA, Jill Stein pulled a Jill Stein, nicely evading a question about the effects of wi-fi on young children. In August, Gizmodo reported on a video where Dr. Stein responds to a question about wi-fi in schools with, “We should not be subjecting kids’ brains…to that.” On Saturday, the Green Party…

Producer Says There Likely Won’t Be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows may have been bizarre, entertaining, and surprisingly okay, but it wasn’t enough to keep the franchise alive. In an interview with Collider, TMNT2 producer Andrew Form said the movie didn’t do well enough to warrant a third film in the series, and that the series is probably…
