Beautiful woman in bikini turns into Santa Claus in reverse Photoshop

Well played. Ad agency Victors & Spoils poked fun of mass media’s tendency to turn normal humans into plastic Barbie and Ken dolls through their abuse of Photoshop by, well, using Photoshop in reverse. That is, they took a viral photo of a girl in a bikini that had been heavily altered and added more…

Watch the visual effects reel of Thor: The Dark World’s prologue

If you watched Thor: The Dark World, you surely remember the epic sequence that kicked off the movie. The opening battle did a great job in setting the tone and looked absolutely incredible. Blur Studios, the shop who did the visual effects for the prologue, lifts the curtain a bit to reveal how they made…

Insane bike trick seems to murder the laws of physics

We no longer live on Earth, my friends. We’re in some weird world where people can do the impossible. Do you want to fly? You should try. Do you want to spin in the air in both directions? I think you can. Because this insane Superman double backflip bicycle trick destroys everything that should be…

Stabilized video of lunar buggy ride is even cooler than the original

There are few things more amazing than watching humans driving a lunar rover. I mean—these guys came in a spaceship from another planet to drive a goddamn buggy on the bloody Moon. The only way to better that video is to stabilize it. For comparison, here’s the original: I’m loving this trend of stabilizing shaky…

Hilarious video shows everyone Arnold Schwarzenegger has ever killed

It’s Ahnold. It’s 28 minutes long. It’s every kill he’s ever made in movies. It’s amazing. It’s everything the Internet was ever created for, really. From popping up in TV series like the Streets of San Francisco to becoming a star in Conan and Terminator to all time classics like True Lies and even post-gubernatorial…

This Algorithm Can Make Pictures of Your Face More Memorable

We all know somebody with one of those faces. You know, the friend who always gets mistaken for someone else. They say, “I know I remember you from somewhere!” But they don’t.

The Monolithic Sculptures of Data Viz Whiz Edward Tufte

Edward Tufte is a data viz pioneer, well-known for making complex information easy to parse. But the man is also fascinated with manipulating the physical world; he has transformed the rolling hills and wooded terrain of Hogpen Hill Farms in rural Connecticut into a 234-acre sculpture garden that’s like a modern-day Stonehenge—if those pre-historic folks…

Why the Swiss Evacuate Their Cows by Helicopter

At first, it’s kind of charming. Look how well the Swiss treat their cows! A helicopter is dispatched just to carry an injured bovine stuck in the mountains! It’s not an uncommon sight in the Alps, either: in Switzerland, insurance that covers helicopter evacuation for your family also includes your cows. But this is not…

Have a Blast Preparing for the End Times in This Luxurious Compound

At first, this 4,000 square-foot cabin in Colorado seems like nothing more than a gorgeous high-elevation getaway. But then you start to notice a few things—signs that this place is for more than just maxing and relaxing. The helicopter pad. The UV cannons. This is some serious prepper porn. Located on a little over two…

A Butterfly Multitool For the Do-It-Yourselfer With an Attitude

A good pocket knife is one of the most useful tools to have on hand at all times. But you know what can be even more useful? A knife that doubles as a saw, a screwdriver, a hex-head wrench, and a bottle opener. In fact, skip the knife altogether—who needs it when all of the…

Helicopter incredibly rescues a man trapped on a crane after explosion

Here’s where you don’t want to find yourself in the freezing cold after a building explosion: stranded on top of a freaking crane with no way to go down because of said explosion. Luckily, you can go up. What? Yes, up. Like a scene from some impossible 80’s action movie, a guy trapped on top…

Bizarre New Art Project Stalks Shaquille O’Neal for Custom “Dunk Rig”

What if, instead of marketing to a general demographic, you marketed to a specific individual? What if, instead of waiting for a patron to commission new work, an artist simply designed it based on someone’s psychological profile? If an online ad asked for you by name, could you resist? These are some of the questions…

Google Glass Just Made Winking the Creepiest Way to Creepshot

Google announced a bunch of Glass updates today, the most befuddling of which is Wink, a setting that lets you snap a picture simply by winking. Convenient? Perhaps. Especially if you’re the kind of creep that likes to wink at strangers. Google’s intentions are ostensibly good — instant, one-step camera access is super convenient for…

We still have time to destroy ourselves before the future comes

According to Carl Sagan, the only thing that can stop us from reaching the stars is a) a global extinction event or b) nuclear self-destruction. I thought B was out of the question already but, according to the Wall Street Journal, perhaps we aren’t there yet. The news is that Russia has deployed SS-26 Stone…

This Keyboard Turns a Dial Up Modem’s Screeches Into “Beautiful” Music

Not so long ago, hopping onto the internet required more than just opening a browser. In the dial up days you’d have to wait for your modem to screech and squawk as it connected. Looking back through years of nostalgia, those sounds were strangely satisfying and often times melodic, which explains why someone has created…
