I couldn’t help but laugh like a jackass when I saw this. What’s even funnier is that reddit, which is overwhelmingly male, agrees with the headline. The discussion under this .gif is about the joys of bonking your head with an empty soda bottle.
Hank Hill Pixel Pop by RcklssGraphx21
Hank Hill don't like any of those new fangled vidya games, because he thinks people should just settle for super square graphics like the good old days if they're gonna waste time playing games all day. Don't get that guy started on the dangers of video game addiction, I tell ya what, because Arlen's resident fuddy-duddy will go on and on with his gripes even though he was once hooked on a super violent game called Pro-Pain!
Add some old school cartoon cool to your geeky wardrobe with this Hank Hill Pixel Pop t-shirt by RcklssGraphx21, it's super square and super fun at the same time!

It was on this humble throne that the great J.K. Rowling sat while composing the first two Harry Potter novels. Rowling acquired the chair for free while living in poor conditions in Edinburgh.
She personally decorated it, then donated it for an auction in 2002 that benefited child abuse victims. It sold again in 2009. Now it's up for sale again at Heritage Auctions in New York City. The Daily Mail quotes Rowling about her memories of this chair:
"This was the comfiest one, which is why it ended up stationed permanently in front of my typewriter, supporting me while I typed," Rowling wrote in a letter accompanying the chair, the auction house conducting the sale, Heritage Auctions, wrote on its website.

Kera is an 11-pound, 15-year-old dachshund. She decided she wanted in on a tug-of-war between two 100-pound Bernese mountain dogs pulling on a thick rope. Does little Kera stand a chance against these giants? She think she does!
It turns out that a little dog with some years on her knows a thing or two. Determination and tenacity will win over brute strength, especially if your opponents are not too bright and have to stop and bark every once in a while. Way to go, Kera! -via Tastefully Offensive
Surely all of us have looked at Counselor Troi and thought, "I wish that I could look like that."
Now you can get a chance! The MAC Cosmetics company is selling a line of cosmetics inspired by four chararacters from Star Trek: Uhura and Vina from the original series, Deanna Troi from The Next Generation, and Seven of Nine from Voyager.
MAC Cosmetics is doing this to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, which takes place this year. The 25-piece collection includes makeup for the eyes, lips, and face. It will debut at the San Diego Comic Con this summer. You can read more about it at Elle.

"Is this nonfiction? Is this just fantasy?"
The staff of the Shoalhaven Libraries in New South Wales, Australia, made a music video to celebrate the end of the school year. They not only sing, but they do a chorus line with their carts, play air guitar, and show off their books to the tune of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
This is typical librarian behavior. Every time I go into my local library (not that I have time for books, but they have a printer), there’s someone behind the desk in costume, and usually at least a couple of people dancing. -via Metafilter
Mattia Menchetti is a graduate student in biology at the University of Florence in Italy. He specializes in the study of the social wasp (Polistes dominula). This study is not one of merely science, but also art.
Menchetti says that the cellular nests of wasps are natural wonders. All they need to gain human notice is a bit of flair. So he gave captive wasps pieces of colored paper, which the wasps then used to build their nests. You can see more photos here (translation).

Screen Junkies already did what they called an “Honest Teaser” for The Force Awakens, because at the time, all they had to go on was the trailer. But now that everyone has seen the movie, and it hits home video today, the full Honest Trailer is here!
What’s the worst thing they can say about The Force Awakens? That it’s like the original Star Wars movie. But how is that bad? Still, there's other shenanigans to enjoy in this Honest Trailer.
This is a lot of responsibility, being 16 and being the only one who recognizes the problems with totalitarianism.

The Commander calls me into her Chamber. This seems normal. Leaders of nations meet with 16 year olds all the time.

You're still reading paranormal teen romance novels? Those are so 5 years ago. The strongest market is in dystopian young adult fiction. That's what the cool grown ups are reading these days.
Why is it so popular? For your typical teenager, real life is a dystopia. And, ideally, he can heroically escape it and possibly liberate his friends.
The twitter account Dystopian YA Novel pokes fun and this genre and its sometimes worn-out tropes. Here are some of the best tweets from it.
Okay, this deal gives you a lot of options. Which would you take? Maybe 25% off the full set, or maybe pay only 75%, but the buy three and get one free still seems like the best deal. However you parse it, giving the customer a choice is always the best way to go. This ad was spotted in Wellington, New Zealand.
It's not enough to simply think like a turkey. You have to become the turkey. And this toddler can do it. Turkeys respond to him. In 20 years, he'll be Turkey Boy, the sidekick of Squirrel Girl.

Juergen Horn and Mike Powell made a stop in Savannah, Georgia, between living in selected spots For 91 Days. They took in a museum they hadn’t visited before (Savannah is full of them) at the Mansion on Forsyth. There you’ll find the “Kessler Collection Celebrating a Century of Hats” exhibition.
A few glass cases in a first-floor hallway of the Mansion contain dozens of bonnets and fedoras dating back to the 1860s. Some of them are pretty, while others are just insane. And whether or not it was intentionally designed this way, you can position yourself so that your reflection appears to be wearing the hats. Have I always wondered what I’d look like in a sassy silk bonnet? Well, not really. But it turns out I look like a cross-dressing psychopath.
Even if you’re not an aficionado of antiquated fashion, the Mansion’s Lady Hat collection is a sight which is fun, free and bizarre… and somehow feels right at home in Savannah.
See pictures of all kinds of hats from the museum at For 91 days.
People like to carry stuff around in their pockets, and when tees have pockets sewn onto them people tend to put stuff in there that they want to keep front and center as they walk around all day. That's why food, smokes and cute little fuzzy things make perfect tee pocket fillings and loudmouth mercs do not. If you're brave enough to put a tiny Deadpool in your pocket by all means go for it, but don't be surprised when his constant chattering about tacos and chimichangas drives you batty!
Carry an annoying merc with a mouth with you wherever you go on this Pocket Wade t-shirt by Tripinmidair, and let it do all the talking for you!

Since Hollywood is constantly running out of fresh ideas and always looking for a retro franchise to reboot maybe they should keep mining the 80s for awesome shows to turn into mediocre movies.
Of course, if they really tried reboots of 80s cartoons and toy lines like the Silverhawks, Inhumanoids or those battle ready Dino-Riders could be amazing and lots of fun to watch.
Dinosaurs decked out with armor and advanced weaponry, now that has Michael Bay written all over it!
All kidding aside, how in the world can Hollywood filmmakers hungry for recycled content reboot the Ninja Turtles twice and give them four movies without making one Thundercats flick?
I'd love to see the look on my face when a time traveler tells 80s me about the Thundercatless future he has to look forward to...tragic!

Do you see the face in this image by Wenceslas Hollar? At first, it looks like someone just painted what they saw in the countryside. But it’s a made-up landscape with an illusion embedded. These pictures became somewhat of a fad in the Netherlands during the 1600s.
Prior to the Renaissance, landscape was principally used as a scene-setting backdrop for figurative art. Trees, fields, mountains, and storm-tossed seas were only present to add verisimilitude to the human activity contained within the frame. It seemed as if landscape was nothing without a human narrative. But this gradually changed. Landscape painting soon became an artistic form of its own. During the transitory period between the two forms there was a moment when figurative art and the desire to depict landscape briefly coalesced in anthropomorphic etchings and paintings.
You’ll see a whole bunch of these landscapes at Flashback. -via the Presurfer
