Sploid: Where awesome, wild, and breathtaking tech moments burst into view.
Randy Neugebauer—a GOP Congressman from Texas—should be fired. This disgraceful individual had the balls to publicly bully and shame a park ranger just for a photo opportunity, asking her to apologize for the shutdown of the Washington DC’s World War II Memorial. The shutdown that he and his cronies provoked. is one of the people…
Sinéad O’Connor recently wrote Miley Cyrus begging the ex-Disney star to stop allowing herself to be pimped out by the music industry. Cyrus recently said that her Wrecking Ball video was inspired by the Irish songstress’s Nothing Compares 2 U. So, Sinéad’s basically your Jameson-chugging, slut-shaming, older sister.
Everyone knows that in Taiwan—or the United States—people don’t have nipples until they are 18 years old—because body parts are dirty. Which is why TV channels censor them in the most ridiculous ways. Fortunately, in Japan they make an exception for blue tits.
Behold the stellar Chris Hadfield—the Canadian astronaut who became a space celebrity for his fun educational videos in the International Space Station—characterized as a pornstached Ziggy Stardust. Kids, may you be half as awesome as Chris when you grow up.
Dave Eggers’ new novel The Circle hasn’t even been released yet and already there’s plenty of controversy to go around. Kate Losse, a former Facebook employee who wrote a vaguely similar tell-all last year, is shouting plagiarism before she’s even read it. And Eggers quite famously doesn’t even use the internet, leading many to wonder…
The American Museum of Natural History has sent a team of scientists to the Solomon Islands equipped with “high-resolution underwater cameras, a submersible, and an on-board genomic sequencing lab.” They are searching for “dragons, living lanterns and other-worldly animals.” Here are some other other-worldly animals found by other expeditions.
The 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 is so stupidly huge that nobody can use it comfortably. However, to accommodate all the idiots who think that a bigger phone is better no matter how ridiculous it is, Samsung decided to include a normal-size phone mode that leaves the rest of the screen blank. I wonder how many…
Playboy Safe for Work has a two-part interview with Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson—who helped spark the sexual revolution—”about their research and what homosexuals can teach heterosexuals about sex.” It’s from 1979, but it’s still a fascinating read.
American writer and Ronald Reagan fan Tom Clancy has died today. Clancy was the author of many literary and cinema blockbusters, including The Hunt for Red October. His Cold War novels have probably been in every beach and pool chair in the planet.
Paris Hilton has recorded a song with Lil Wayne and, as expected, it sounds like shit. Listen to this embarrassing music terrorist act coupled with a pathetic video of morons partying. “And I may be a bit tipsy, but that’s ok ’cause you’re with me.” Kill it with fire.
There are three kinds of people in South Korea: those who make real money and live in real homes; those who make cents assembling your phones and share a room with six other people; and those lucky ones who make a few dollars and can afford these prison cells that they call “apartments.”
Seven new videos show that the group of idiots who attacked a Range Rover in New York City last week are even more obnoxious than anyone could have imagined. Look at these imbeciles riding their bikes in all kinds of dangerous and illegal situations just before the car incident.
I hate pacus. Look at those bastards’ teeth. They look like they have been retrofitted with four lines of human teeth, all ready to bite the testicles of any men swimming naked in a lake or river. Nobody is safe, my friends: The pacu was a native of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers, but now…
The origins of this anti-gay propaganda film are unclear. The video is so gross — a mashup of Hitlerite hate-mongering and American attack ads — that it could be a spoof. But assuming its authenticity, here’s what’s so shocking: the utter lack of self-awareness. Take just three refrains from the subtitles: that gays die early;…
If you go to Tanzania, don’t bathe in Lake Natron or you will end up like these animals: petrified for all eternity thanks to the water’s extreme alkalinity. The animals get confused by the lake’s reflectivity and stay there until they turn into statues. https://gizmodo.com/any-animal-that-touches-this-lethal-lake-turns-to-stone-1436606506
Nothing like a good trap loaded with luscious cheese to trap a rat. Like these fake homes full of electronic goodies to attract burglars—and then catch them in the act using hidden cameras. A simple and clever police trick that apparently works great. https://gizmodo.com/fully-furnished-fake-houses-in-uk-run-solely-to-trap-bu-1429599161

Government is a NO GO, which means that NASA is frozen. The immediate consequence: MAVEN—the next big mission to Mars—may get canned till 2016 because we may miss the current launch window, as Mars and Earth get out of the proper alignment. $600 million spent for nothing. https://gizmodo.com/government-shutdown-could-delay-a-650-million-nasa-mis-1433554228
Good news for gender equality! You can be badass female criminal in the new Grand Theft Auto V Online. Bad news for gender equality! Badass female criminals wear tiny white tops and denim miniskirts. https://kotaku.com/a-warm-welcome-to-the-playable-ladies-of-grand-theft-au-1433382090
This is Wilson Kipsang, who won the 40th Berlin Marathon on Sunday, destroying the world record with a 2:03:23 time. Why is this amazing?
