These Coffee Cups Are Made of Coffee Grounds

(Photo: Kaffeeform)

You can now drink coffee from coffee cups--literally! After 5 years of research, Julian Lechner hit upon a formula that works. He combined used coffee grounds from cafes in Berlin with glue and wood to create Kaffeeform Cups--espresso cups that are made of compressed coffee grounds.

The combination forms a liquid that Lechner injects into a mold, then seals with a waterproof resin. Despite this industrial processing, the cups still smell like coffee. They're sturdy enough to withstand a dishwashing machine and have already been tested for durability in a commercial cafe.

Sports have become mega brutal since the world went to orange hell, and the only people still interested in participating in these bloodsports are the gangs that used to roam the city ruining lives. Thugs spend their young lives training for their own kind of ultraviolence, and they get used to taking hits and tackling their problems head-on, which makes them perfect for arena ball. There's just one problem with this new wave of players- every game, like clockwork, somebody ends up dead!

New Chrome Extension Changes Word "Millennial" to "Snake People"

No matter what you think about Millennials chances are you don’t think of them as snake people, but if you do, and you use Chrome, then this is your lucky day!

A crafty new Chrome extension created by Eric Bailey hunts down and transforms the word “Millennial” into the words “Snake People” in every document you encounter online.

Eric either has an axe to grind with Millennials, or he's a Millennial who's just having a bit of fun with the net. Either way, you’ll never have to see that terrible word online again if you don’t want to. 

The extension also changes "Generation Y" into "Serpent Society" and "digital natives" into "Parseltongues", both of which are vast improvements in my book.

Free Hugs? Let's Try Free Slaps Instead!

Perhaps you've occasionally seen a man standing on the street corner offering free hugs. Don't judge me because I'm lonely.

The Japanese comedy troupe Guts and Death offers a different take on the practice. Its members stood in a busy area of Tokyo and offered to let people slap them--for free! Some people hesitated to slap with any force. Others seemed to enjoy it a bit too much.

Quentin Tarantino is more than just a filmmaker. He's a scholar of film who loves the craft. Tarantino's works are filled with references to other movies that inspire him--some of which you've probably never heard of. In this video, Jacob T. Swinney shows you some of those allusions in Tarantino's movies.

The Best Game Of Thrones Infographics Money Can't Buy

In the world of fandom related infographics there are the crappy advertising type infographics that don’t contain well researched information, or any real info at all, and then there are the awesome visual info charts that tell you lots of good stuff quickly and please the eyes to boot.

(Image Link)

The more popular a fandom franchise becomes the more infographics seem to pop up online, and since everyone in the world seems to be suffering from Westeros flu at the moment it makes sense that Game of Thrones themed infographics are as popular as a rain poncho at a red wedding.

(Image Link)

But how can you find a bunch of infographics that will tell you what you want to know about the show and won’t make your eyeballs bleed?

You check out this collection of 15 Incredibly Important Game Of Thrones Infographics and watch your geeky world become a paradise of visual information!

(EDIT: As I looked closer at this collection I noticed that a few of the infographics included are indeed used to advertise stuff like cable TV and internet ad software. But they're all posted in a very viewer friendly size on Dorkly so you can enjoy looking through them there without clicking on advertiser links!)

When his human friends sang "Happy Birthday," JD the horse knew exactly what to do! He blew out the candles, then laughed. He's so happy to be the birthday boy!

JD lives at Ilithien Stables (yes, that's a Lord of the Rings reference) in Whitehouse, New Jersey. Hopefully he got some good presents to go with his cake.

Norwegian Navy Beard Application

According to internet rumor, this photo shows a form that sailors in the Royal Norwegian Navy fill out if they wish to grow beards. A sailor completing this form will explain why he wants one, then draw a picture of what it would look like when fully grown. Redditor alleguta offers this translation:

On the top it says "BEARD APPLICATION", then it's rank/ military ID-number, full name and platoon/ division. Then it says "Reason:" to which I wrote "I get irritated skin from daily shaving and it's starting to get cold outside." Under the sketch I drew, it says "DRAW HERE!" and at the bottom the Lieutenant has written that he will inspect it after the next excercise (which gave me about 2,5 weeks) followed by a stamp to show my application was accepted.

Beards are serious business in Norway (as is proper). In 2011, the worldwide beard champion wove a moose and the Norwegian flag into his beard.

Farmer Is Breeding Pigs with More Ribs


(Photo: Edwin)

Look at the barbecue photo above and imagine a better future--if such a thing is even possible!

Jeff Braun, a farmer in Mount Gambier, South Australia, has bred pigs for the past 30 years. Pigs are unusual in that they can vary in the number of ribs, ranging from 13 to 17 ribs. Braun wants to breed pigs to have 16 or 17 ribs, which increases their meat capacity. Additionally, longer sows have larger udders that produce more milk. ABC reports:

"A sow has double the butter fat and double the milk solids in its milk compared to a dairy cow and when we look at the 21-day litter weights we are now achieving, it has to produce more milk solids in a day than the best dairy cows in the world," Mr Braun said.

"We can alter the length and the capacity of that udder as we change the length of the middle.

"By selecting for sows with 16 to 17 ribs we can get 30 per cent more udder capacity."

Most sows at Myora Farm now deliver 21-day litter weights of more than 100 kilograms.

"Europe is typically averaging 80 kilograms," Mr Braun said.

"This has enabled us to now produce a 100 kg live weight animal by 16 weeks of age, which is also some of the highest growth rates of animals in the world."

Myora Farm pigs are also resistant to E. coli and the next goal is to eliminate all respiratory diseases, along with the need to administer vaccinations.

Slave Leia Tinker Bell

(Photo: David Ngo)

Cosplayer Jessica--the internet's Maid of Might--has made a niche by altering Princess Leia's iconic slave outfit from Return of the Jedi with Disney characters. In the past, she's done Rapunzel, Elsa, and Ariel. Now she's working with Tinker Bell from Peter Pan. Cosplay builders Mantinum Industries made components of this outfit for Jessica, which she wore last week to FanimeCon in San Jose, California.

Suggestion: let's see a slave Leia version of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and Sebastian from The Little Mermaid.
