This instagram page posts videos of addicting optical illusions known as parallel view stereoscopic 3D videos. These videos feel like watching a 3D movie but without the red and blue goggles. It takes a bit of practice to train your eyes to view the illusion, but once you...
This awesome website created by Alex Plecsan is a mosaic collection of random old-school GIFs, pulled from the Internet Archive's GeoCities collection, The mosaic of GIFs slowly moves across the screen. As the GIFS on the left-hand side of the screen disappear, a constant s...
Since at least the early modern period, shoes have been deliberately hidden in buildings across Europe and beyond, including in chimneys, roofs, floors, and near doors and windows. This odd phenomenon is referred to as 'concealed shoes.' Historians believe that many of these ...
Despite Trump's many, many attempts to deny and deflect from his long friendship with professional child abuser Jeffrey Epstein, the cry for him to release the Epstein files hasn't dimmed (much). He won't, of course, if only for the simple fact that he's named in them, but...
Convicted felon Donald Trump may be desirous of the Nobel Peace Prize, but he clearly has no clue what is going on in Israel, the Middle East, the United Nations, the United States, or anywhere else. This is an interesting take on the Gaza Disengagement Plan of 2005. — Read...
My initial reaction to the phone cases by artist and industrial designer Bailey Hikawa was 'Hell, no.' My pockets are already too small for my phone, with the thinnest possible case on it. Then I read the first question on the FAQ: but… WHY?? — Read the rest The post...
Georgia's reprehensible congressperson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, seems to think it is a foreign government standing in the way of releasing the Epstein files. Even stranger, Texas reprehensible Senator Ted 'Cancun' Cruz seems to immediately jump to Israel as being the...
This video is more reminiscent of Benny Hill than the image of glorious defenders of Americana, ICE Barbie, and bribery-prone Tom Homan portray them as. Humiliating CBP and ICE? That's the Chicago way. Trump's Snack-Ops brigade exists to terrify people. — Read the rest ...
In March 2025, Chuck Schumer caved, claiming fear of a government shutdown could further empower Donald Trump. Rather than sit on his hands and force the Republicans to find a way to get nine Democrats to support the bill, Schumer gave up all leverage and enabled executive...
Thanks to the European Commission, websites worldwide have cookie consent pop-ups. The annoying unskippable windows warn and allow customization of cookies, the tiny bits of data that can keep users logged in between sessions, or track their activity across the internet. —...
When I was 14, I worked under the table at a car wash owned by my great uncle. The pay sucked, but hey, it was tax-free. Most days, excluding Sundays (holy shit, the queue of sedans owned by the after church crowd), there'd be long lulls between cars. — Read the rest The...
Tabletop game designer Joseph McCullough is forever on a roll. Ten years on, Frostgrave and its sci-fi analog, Stargrave, remain two of the most consistently inventive skirmish miniatures games out there. What amazes me is how McCullough keeps finding new ways of...
Mike Lindell, the MyPillow entrepreneur who threw it all way for Trump, had another bad day in court after losing a $2.3m defamation case against an election worker. He also defamed Smartmatic, maker of election tech, a judge ruled Friday. — Read the rest The post Judge...
The UK-based Telegraph has a long piece that describes former Marine Thomas Jacob Sanford, the man shot and killed by police after attacking a church, as a known Trump supporter. The US media doesn't seem to want to tell that part of the story. — Read the rest The post US...
Electronic Arts, one of the world's largest game publishers, is to be sold to Saudi Arabia in a $55bn deal said to be the largest such buy-out in history. Joining Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund in the consortium are Affinity Parnters (run by Jared Kushner, son-in-law...
A viral story of a sausage-loving kookaburra too fat to fly resurfaced online. The tale even inspired Hazmat Modine's 2019 song Too Fat To Fly. The Internet is huge. I've been farting around on it as my full-time job for over 15 years and there's tons of stuff I miss. —...
Chinese companies have been aggressively pursuing the nascent humanoid robot market. So far, most of the robots are not very practical, but they can do cartwheels, show off their kung fu, and play soccer, only occasionally turning murderous. — Read the rest The post...
The emerging indie game scene continues to be cool as hell. If you're already finished with Silksong or just found it a little too difficult (no shame in it), upcoming indie MotorSlice looks equally cool as hell. Elevator pitch: imagine Shadow of the Colossus, but you're...
