This is probably the most fun you can have jumping on a seesaw
I
think we should re-visit the playgrounds of our childhood to see how
much fun we can have now. Because if it's anything like these guys from
the Streaks Show, it looks like it'll be an insane amount of fun. I mean, they used a seesaw to basically jump flip out of the world of physics and gravity and momentum.
The Concise, Complex Art Of A Successful Creative Brief
Before
the creative project there is: the brief. It's a concise communication
nugget developed between a client and an artist, or an architect, or a
designer, that clearly lays out the mission for the task at hand. Briefly is a short doc that explores the complexity of this short form through the perspective of six…
Chinese noodle chef tries to hook customers using opium poppy shells
The South China Morning Post
reports on a noodle shop chef who was secretly adding opium poppy
shells used for the creation of opium and heroin. His hope was that the

This portrait made with electric sparks is the ultimate homage to Tesla
Phil Hansen is a multimedia artist "who
specializes in representative portraiture using media that connect to
the subject matter." This portrait of Nikola Tesla using electricity is
the perfect example of that.
Windows 10 Is What We Deserved All Along
Windows 8 had it rough. It existed for a
post-desktop world that (still) hasn't quite materialized, met by a sea
of people who weren't asking for something that new and strange. That's
why even though it feels like a regression, Windows 10 is still such a marvel. It's a step backwards into what Windows 8 was supposed…
This is the most bizarre Simpsons' couch gag ever
The Simpsons opened its 26th season with this surprisingly bizarre couch gag. Oscar-nominated animator and filmmaker Don Hertzfeldt asked himself what the Simpsons will look like in a very distant future. Well, this is what he came up with:
I wish these were real dollar bills because they are brilliant
Artist James Charles redesigned the US money by adding contemporary pop-culture icons. In this series called American Iconomics the classic green bills are modified or changed completely with the faces of Yoda, Einstein, or Mr. T.
Charring A Whisky Barrel Transforms It Into A Portal To Hell
Scotland might be the spiritual home of whisky, but Japan is perfecting its own unique take on the liquor. At Nikka's Yoichi distillery
in Hokkaido, watching a barrel get charred—for flavor!—looks a hell of
lot like the living flames of satan's demons are being unleashed from
within those wooden staves.
The Producer Behind the Year's Best Rap Tracks Makes His Own Music, Too
It's hard to find good, quality You Time when you're collaborating with
Kanye West, Rick Ross, and Pusha-T (not to mention Azealia Banks,
Action Bronson, and many, many others). But after a couple of busy
years, 28-year-old Scottish DJ Hudson Mohawke has finally put out a new
EP.
Arduino's New 3D Printer Will Cost You Less Than $1000
Arduino
is at the heart of do-it-yourself electronics, and now the company

The Arduino Materia 101.
Rare white shark on white shark attack captured in terrifying video
The
huge fish always eats the less huge fish: Witness the attack of a white
shark against a younger one recorded on Neptune Island, 50 miles off
the coast of Australia. Perhaps it was a mistake—the big one seemed
headed to the bait when the small one crossed its path closer—but the
final result is just the same.
Why You Shouldn't Freak Out About the First U.S. Ebola Patient
Today,
the CDC confirmed the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S.: a man

you panic about Ebola now? Nope, and here's why.
Why Selfie's Worth Watching Despite Its Name

Moon Seismometers From Apollo Are Still Helping Solve Physics Mysteries
When
Apollo astronauts landed on the moon, they left flags and footprints,
yes, but also dozens of scientific instruments. Among them was a network
of seismometers originally meant to study moonquakes. Forty years

A Visual History of the Windows Start Menu
Microsoft debuted Windows 10 today and it has a solid Start Menu.
Good job, Windows! But before getting Windows 10 on point, the Start
Menu went through more than one reinvention. Some went better than
others.
Watch a 7-Ton Steamroller Make a Letterpress Print on the Street
There
are lots of ways to put ink on paper, so why not use a goddamn
steamroller over pavement to make a massive letterpress print? At San
Francisco's Roadworks Festival,
an old-timey industrial construction beast from 1924 that's since been
spiffed and shined made literal street art. And it was awesome.
The Dirty, Dilapidated, and Delightful Water Towers of New York City
New Yorkers: How well do you know your local skyline? Enough to be able to tell these 23 water towers apart, and place them in the borough where they belong? It's a day ending in "y" which means—hey look, Popchartlab has a new print out! This time the team has icon-ized a selection of the city's distinctive (and often…
This Transforming Pod Is a Bed, Bath, Shower and Tiny Garden
When
we think of small living expertise, we think of NASA, submarine
engineers, or tiny house enthusiasts. Hotel designers don't come to
mind, but they ought to: Like these two Dutch architects managed to
wedge nearly everything you'd need to live comfortably into a wood
mechanism the size of a walk-in closet.
YouTube Community Scrambles to Address Its Creep Problem
Last
week, popular YouTube prankster Sam Pepper was justifiably raked over
the coals over a video that depicted him forcibly grabbing women's butts
and laughing at it like a stoned child after a dental appointment. Days
later, news reports raised some serious allegations against Pepper:
that he also sexually abused…
Antarctica Is Losing So Much Ice It's Throwing Off Earth's Gravity
Rising sea levels inundating coastal cities are the least of our global warming problems. According to a new report
by the European Space Agency, the loss of snowpack along the antarctic
ice shelf is throwing off Earth's gravitational field. Yeah, pretty sure
that's bad.
