The clothes and accessories we wear during the summer can make us look cool
Creative people by definition cannot be categorized, nor are they easily understood by those who refuse to deviate from the norm in terms of opinion, imagination and train of thought.
And yet the creator of this comic claims creatives all dress funny, live quirky lifestyles and dream the day away, which makes this creative person want to tell them to take a flying leap.
ordinary people: smile, drive a nice car creative people: own nothing, jump to your death pic.twitter.com/7iXctAW3Zr
So when the blog Bright Side posted their pretentious comic Ordinary People vs Creative People the internet couldn't help but get creative about ripping them a new one.
According to their comic ordinary people cannot be creative and creatives would never play video games, watch television or drive a car without imagining they're soaring through the air like Peter Pan.
Personally, I prefer to pretend I'm a Transformer or Turbo Teen when I drive, does that make me less creative?
This is Jonny Dow, and Jonny has lots of friends who look forward to spending his birthday with him each year because he throws one hell of a house party.
But this year Jonny wanted to do something a bit different for his birthday, so he decided to go to Disneyland for some theme park fun.
Unfortunately, only a handful of Jonny's friends have year passes, and after weeks of planning a trip all of his Disneyland buddies bailed on him, leaving Jonny to go it alone.
Planned to go to Disneyland 2 weeks in a row for my b-day. Had a friend bail each week, so I went by myself. I'm gunna have so much fun! — at Disney California Adventure Park.
Jonny tried not to let his loneliness get him down, but after posing for a few sad and lonely pics it became clear Jonny was feeling pretty bummed about being at The Happiest Place On Earth all by himself.
So he put on a pouty face and tried to make his friends who'd bailed feel bad by sharing some radically sad photos on Facebook.
Now Jonny has a bunch of great pics to commemorate the day he spent at Disneyland with his best friend- himself!
Back in 1982 Michael Jackson introduced us to the acronym P.Y.T. with his song P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) on the album Thriller, a fun, lighthearted and dancy jam about a girl who makes Michael go "woo-hoo!".
But if you think the title says it all you're wrong, because this seemingly simple pop song has been hiding a mystery all these years- hidden lyrics in the high pitched, chipmunky part at the end of the song.
Music copyright expert Drew Seventeen used audio software Audacity to pitch shift the outro of P.Y.T. and discovered some hidden messages sung by Michael himself:
“‘Good Life’ by Kanye West featuring T-Pain (heavily sampling that section) is actually my iPhone morning alarm song. So after hearing the voice hundreds of times in the dream-wakefulness transition, I became obsessed with knowing what the actual lyric was. I assumed the ‘tee’ and ‘see’ were chopped off in the final mix due to timing limits on early sampling technology, but the exposed stem also makes it clear that he just hits a lower note there which becomes unclear in the master recording.”
There are some seriously shady individuals out there selling used cars and the law, and some of them are so sleazy they look like characters from a TV show, with cheap suits, fake tans and even faker smiles.
But if dogs could walk and talk they'd make sales left and right without deceiving buyers, because customers wouldn't be able to resist their powers of cuteness.
Still don't believe dogs would make the ultimate salescritters?

Just try and say no to Mr. Griff the Brussels Griffon when he tries to sell you his services as a lawyer or a used car, he would've had you at herro!
Here's Mr. Griff in a commercial for Brus Griffin's Motor World, where all used cars have their tires peed on thoroughly inspected and all windows cracked for maximum wind-to-face ratio.
To truly understand animals you have to see what lies beneath their skin both literally and figuratively, so you can better understand how they think, how they behave and how their bodies help them survive in the wild kingdom.
Inside most animals is a skeleton, which forms a support structure and keeps their bodies from becoming a blob of organs, and this skeleton can be used to identify an animal long after its flesh has been stripped from its bones.
If you fancy yourself a bit of an expert on animal anatomy then identifying the skull at the top as that of a deer should have been fairly easy, and identifying the boar skull above even easier. But is this the skull of a gorilla or a chimpanzee?
Fashion designers, and the fashion industry as a whole, have always had a healthy respect for the avant-garde, and couture houses in particular never stray far from their surreal muse when they design a new line.
But when it comes to models the fashion industry did away with diversity a long time ago, claiming "tall and super skinny, preferably with big shoulders" is the ideal look for fashion.
Thankfully the rules of fashion are changing once again, and modeling agencies are replacing the superclones of the past with interesting looking people of all sizes and from all walks of life.
The Anti-Agency is one of the forward thinking agencies who are doing away with this conformist attitude towards models, and when the UK-based agency opened their NYC branch they doubled their efforts to recruit fresh faces.
Now it's only a matter of time before other agencies see the Anti-Agency making a splash with their super diverse roster and follow suit, infusing the modeling industry with some much needed new blood.
We've been told for decades the best way to treat a jellyfish sting is to have somebody pee on the site, which will somehow stop the pain and help counteract the jellyfish venom.
This myth has given "helpful" people license to urinate on the unfortunate souls who tangled with a jellyfish, and yet it's fairly common knowledge that urine doesn't do much more than stink up a jellyfish sting.
So to flush this myth once and for all ACS Reactions visited San Francisco's Aquarium of the Bay to discuss the real science behind the process:
..the amount of acid you’re looking for just isn’t in urine. While your pee IS acidic, usually with a pH of around 6, it isn’t acidic enough to denature porins and prevent them from hole-punching your cells. And the same goes for rinsing with fresh water. …Your best bet is to find a safe, jelly-free area in the same body of water where you were stung and rinse the affected area with salt water.
It's funny how many "raw food" fanatics out there don't actually know what their favorite natural foods look like in their raw form, and thereby would probably walk right past dates or artichokes if they were out foraging.
Many of the "organic" foods you buy in stores go through quite a bit of processing before being sold, which totally makes sense from a consumer standpoint- considering this is what rice looks like before it's harvested.
But if you truly want to call yourself an organic foods expert you should be able to identify this very popular yet quite obscure food. Here's a hint- it goes great with sushi.
Not all teenagers find their parents' work totally lame and boring, some teens actually admire their parents' career choice and pay attention when their folks talk about work at the dinner table.
Sixteen-year-old Ben Wald must have been listening to his cardiologist father David when he went with him to Bart's Heart Centre on work experience- because Ben came up with a brilliant code to help reduce heart surgery risks.
Ben's code involves orienting the wires used to hold the sternum together after heart surgery so they tell the surgeons what kind of bypass graft the patient has, so surgeons know what they're dealing with:
Ben’s idea was designed to tackle the problem of surgeons not always having access to patient records, increasing the risks of repeat surgeries. At Barts around one in 10 patients have previously had a cardiac graft. That’s a part of heart bypass surgery where a vein or artery is grafted on to the heart to reroute around a blockage. Knowing whether and where grafts are already present makes future operations considerably safer.
The problem is that it’s not always easy to find such grafts through X-rays before opening up the patient, leaving surgeons relying on medical notes. However, with around one in six of the Barts patients who had a graft, the notes weren’t available. This can be because the original operation was overseas, carried out too long ago, or simply that there’s a problem retrieving the notes in a situation where there’s no room for delay.
Heart surgery involves breaking open the sternum to access the heart. After surgery, a series of relatively sturdy wire loops holds the sternum back together so it can fuse back naturally; unlike with stitches, the loops remain in place permanently. Ben’s idea was to use these wires – which do show up easily in X-rays – as a code.
The idea is that the top wire (nearest the clavicle) would be placed pointing upwards – which is not usual practice – to indicate that the code was in use. The wires below would point to the left or right to indicate the number of grafts, with the direction showing if a graft started from the subclavian artery or aorta. A wire pointing straight down would show the code had ended and that any wires further down were not part of the code.
Mac DeMarco is one of the most chill dudes in the indie music scene, and that's saying a lot considering how totally chilled out soft rock-inspired lo-fi bands can be.
Mac's latest album This Old Dog dropped on May 5th, which means summer 2017 is going to be one laid back and dreamy season of warmth, but can Mac maintain his chill while eating the spiciest wings on the planet?
Mac appeared on First We Feast's Hot Ones to chat with Sean Evans about his dope new album and see if he can keep his cool while the wings keep getting hotter and hotter.
Salma Hayek is the most successful Mexican actress of all time, and the Coatzacoalcos-born star has maintained a successful career in Hollywood without whitewashing her image or losing touch with her Mexican roots.
So when Vanity Fair needed a celeb to teach Mexican slang terms in their video they naturally turned to Salma- because Salma knows Mexican slang and she makes learning fun!
When I think back on the 90s I recall all the cringeworthy things my friends and I thought were so so sick during that decade between the radical 80s and blah 00s.
Trends like JNCO jeans, frosted tips, hemp bracelets, Big Johnson t-shirts and bowl cuts parted right down the middle didn't age well, so they'll forever be thought of as 90s throwbacks.
But aside from these horrible fashion trends the 90s gave us some pretty great stuff too, like Pokemon, Super Soakers and Rice Krispies Treats Cereal, which were sold to kids via these totally slammin' commercials!
When gaming consoles were introduced in the early 1980s they were so expensive many kids couldn't afford them, so the lucky kids who could were forced to share their rad new console with their friends and family.
This prohibitive pricing may have contributed to the North American video game crash of '83, which sunk the Magnavox Odyssey 3 before it could change the gaming world with its high resolution graphics and precision keyboard.
It took decades for game companies to realize price is everything in the world of gaming consoles, and yet EA founder Trip Hawkins didn't think about price when he left EA to create the 3DO, so it bombed hard.
Released in 1993 at a staggering $700, the 3DO was supposedly HDTV compatible with graphics that blew away the competition, but the 3DO simply couldn't compare to the mighty $90 Nintendo Entertainment System.
Nintendo has made their fair share of mistakes too, like the Virtual Boy or the more recent Wii U, but their biggest failure was also one of their biggest leaps forward in terms of tech- the 64DD.
The 64DD was released as a magnetic disk drive peripheral for the Nintendo 64, but console gamers couldn't wrap their minds around all the 64DD's high tech features:
"DD" is short for "dynamic drive".[1] Plugging into the extension port on the underside of the console, it allows the Nintendo 64 to use proprietary 64 MB magnetic disks for expanded and rewritable data storage, a real-time clock for persistent game world design, and a standard font and audio library for further storage efficiency. Furthermore, the 64DD's software titles and hardware accessories let the user create movies, characters, and animations to be used within various games and shared online. The system could connect to the Internet through a now-defunct dedicated online service called Randnet for e-commerce, online gaming, and media sharing.
Only 10 games were ever released for the 64DD, and Nintendo sold about 15,000 units worldwide, making it one of the worst console failures of all time.
Leather is a durable, embossable and paintable material, but it's also extremely rigid and doesn't make for the most user friendly sculpting medium.
But those artisans who choose leather as their medium of choice have figured out ways to crease, bend, and otherwise shape leather in a sculptural way, creating spectacular and wearable works of skin art.
New Zealand's creepiest hidecrafter Alle Ziele creates nightmarish leather masks that bring out the wearer's wild side- and scare the crap out of anyone who sees them wearing Alle's terrifying creations.
The German-born craftsman and "travelling science artist" had this to say about his works:
My objects sometimes take hundreds of hours to create due to fact that I use hand tools only. No machinery takes part in the process, every stitch is done by hand and there are thousands of it in every project.
Due to the fact that I am a traveller I focused on crafting leather items, because I don’t need to carry too many tools on my one-year journey. My leather items are all 100% hand-made, means: I use awl, needle and rivets instead of a sewing machine.
With a background of having studied Biology I find my inspiration in nature where I have fallen in love with organic shapes and structures.
The character design consists of my leather work combined with bodypainting, costume, props, basically whatever tells the story.
