Science Is Magical - Watch Me Pull An Atom Out Of My Hat!


Science is Magical by JRBERGER

When you know nothing about how the world works, and you're easily distracted or confused, then the tricks performed by those showy folks who claim to be real-life magicians are super impressive. But when someone doesn't know anything about science, or how scientists have helped us make many important advances in our lives, they argue that science is nothing but hocus-pocus, which is odd since the less you believe in science the more likely you are to believe in magic. So maybe if we started presenting science as magic the rubes and luddites of the world would start taking it all a bit more seriously and stop claiming it's all fake news...nah, they probably still won't get it, but at least science class would be a bit less boring for them!

Get people excited about the wonder of science with this Science Is Magical t-shirt by JRBERGER, it's the fun way to show the world you're scientifically minded and a fan of the wonderful things science brings to our lives.

An Auto Shop In Poland Still Uses A Commodore 64 To Run Their Shop

(Image Link)

In the 80s I was a full-blown Commodore 64 fanboy, and I still believe the C64 was the best computer in its time due to the fact that it was user friendly, affordable and had floppy discs so you could share games with your friends.

Now as much as I loved my C64 back in the day I haven't had one since the 90s, and I would never trade my modern PC for a classic Commodore, but some people don't feel the need to upgrade.

In fact, there's a small auto repair shop in Gdansk, Poland that is still using a Commodore 64 to run their operation, a computer they've been using for over 25 years that has survived a flood and keeps on keeping on.

Almost makes me want to buy a C64 again...never mind, I found an emulator.

An (Almost) Comprehensive History Of Rat Kings

The idea of a bunch of rats linking up to form some kind of grotesque rodent version of Voltron sounds like the stuff of fairy tales, but it turns out Rat Kings are real- and they're horrifying to behold too.

Rat kings are created when a bunch of rats end up with their tails so entangled they can't pull them apart, causing this cluster of rats to go in to full blown freak out mode.

Rat king sightings have been limited mostly to Germany, where they were seen as far back as the 16th century, and their existence is hotly debated by zoologists, who believe preserved rat kings are nothing but hoaxes.

And yet there have been too many sightings for rat kings to be nothing but a myth, and all the more recent squirrel king sightings have proven the theory of tail entanglement to be true.

So the real question is- how do the tails become entangled so tightly?:

The most plausible explanation is that black rats—which have long, supple tails and reside in close quarters during winter—may come in contact with a sticky or frozen substance such as sebum (secreted from the critters’ skin), sap, food, feces, frozen urine, or frozen blood. The bonding agent may solidify as the animals slumber. Once the rodents realize their tails are glued, they might create a tighter knot as they attempt to wriggle free.

This explanation has a ring of truth: Most rat kings were discovered during the winter or a frosty shoulder season, and they’re usually found in a tight shelter.

Orcas May Be Proving They're The Ultimate Predators By Preying On Great White Sharks

It's common knowledge that orcas and great white sharks are two of the scariest and most vicious oceanic predators, both fairly evenly matched in terms of size, speed and ferocity.

What we don't always know is which one of the two savage predators would win in a fight, because depending on the circumstances it's pretty much a toss-up.

But a recent discovery on the shores of South Africa's Western Cape province proves once and for all why orcas would win- because they're smart and precise killers, like Jack the Rippers of the sea:

The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is considered the most voracious apex predator in temperate marine ecosystems worldwide, playing a key role in controlling ecosystem dynamics.

As a result, it is difficult to imagine a great white as prey. And yet, earlier this year the carcasses of five great whites washed ashore along South Africa’s Western Cape province. Ranging in size from 2.7 metres (9ft) to 4.9 metres (16ft), the two females and three males all had one thing in common: holes puncturing the muscle wall between the pectoral fins. Strangest of all, their livers were missing.

The bite marks inflicted, together with confirmed sightings indicate that orcas, Orcinus orca, were responsible for this precisely-targeted predation.

The diet of orcas is often geographic or population specific. Those populations predating in South African waters have been documented targeting smaller shark species for their livers. Cow sharks, blues and makos caught on longlines have had their livers removed by orcas, alongside the brains of the billfish also caught. Cow shark carcasses without livers have also washed ashore near Cape Town, and again, this followed nearby orca sightings.

With no doubt that orcas are using highly specialised hunting strategies to target the liver; the real question is: why?

Beer Can Innovations We'd Actually Use

Do you have a beer swillin' buddy who claims they've come up with a hundred different uses for beer bottles and cans?

I sure do, and these crazy guys are always coming at me with beer-related crafts, household uses or life hacks that seem too weird to work, but most of the time they're actually on to something.

However, the lack of uses for empties isn't the problem, it's the lack of progress in how beer is bottled and canned that needs to be addressed, and Caldwell Tanner's 8 Beer Can Innovations We'd Actually Use can help.

Caldwell's clever bottle and can upgrades include beer pong ready conical cans with pull tab lids, 2-in-1 cans that keep the Black from the Tan, and a side shotgun tab that'd make parties way sicker...because everyone would be puking.

The Shocking Made-For-TV Documentary Too Real To Air

Many made-for-TV documentaries with a teen target audience attempt to scare them into avoiding sex, drinking, drugs, crime and violence by showing them fictional scenarios depicting what might happen if they engage in these activities.

These cheesy TV specials are ineffective and panned by teens and parents alike, which is why filmmakers Joel DeMott and Jeff Kreines didn't want to use scare tactics or reenactments in Seventeen to change teen minds- so they used raw footage instead:

Seventeen would’ve been the sixth installment in Middletown, a five-part documentary series on small town American life. Middletown was filmed in Muncie, Indiana, conceived as a follow-up to two Depression-era sociology studies that took place in Muncie, Middletown: A Study in Modern American Culture and Middletown in Transition: A Study in Cultural Conflicts. The series aired on PBS in 1982.

Seventeen is the work of filmmakers Joel DeMott and Jeff Kreines (note that DeMott is female, despite her traditionally male forename). The duo followed a group of Class of 1981 seniors during their final year at Muncie’s Southside High School. In the film, students mouth off to their teachers, curse up a storm, talk openly and graphically about sex, get drunk, get high, and are generally seen acting in an irresponsible fashion. Race relations is a recurrent topic—the language used will be shocking to the average viewer—with the threat of violence breaking out between black and white residents so frequent that it becomes unnerving. A number of students appear in Seventeen, but the focus is on Lynn Massie, a particularly outspoken and vivacious teen. Massie, who is white, is dating a black classmate, which is frowned upon by many in her community. At one point, racist neighbors burn a cross on the Massies’ front lawn...

Wasted - Bender On A Bender, How Redundant


Wasted by daletheskater

It's important to know your limits when celebrating this holiday season, especially when it comes to enjoying libations, so you don't end up making a fool of yourself or, even worse, causing harm to your loved ones. Because even though the alcohol coursing through your veins will make you feel like a Zapf Brannigan-level hero or an invincible Bender you're really just a Fry- a regular old human being who does really dumb stuff sometimes. The difference is Zapf, Bender and Fry are cartoon characters so they have unlimited lives, but you only get one life- so live smartly and drink responsibly!

Celebrate responsibly while wearing a super geeky shirt, like this Wasted t-shirt by daletheskater, it's the perfect attire whether you're headed out for a night on the town or staying indoors to binge watch your favorite animated TV show.

People Are Transformed Into Who They've Always Secretly Wished They Could Be

It takes a lot of courage to be okay with the weirdo inside you when society is constantly pushing you to conform, especially when the conformists of the world make fun of you for freely expressing yourself.

But as you get older you realize people who poke fun are just jealous of your bravery, because they often secretly wish they were free to let their freak flag fly but are too worried about fitting in to give nonconformity a try.

So when photographer Holly Falconer and stylist Kylie Griffiths offered people the chance to become the person they've always secretly wished they could be they jumped at the chance to freak out for a day.

Going goth, punk or full blown Trekker may seem like no big deal to a geek, but to those who've chosen a more conservative look and lifestyle it's a bold step toward having more personal freedom.

Hair's Something Interesting About Superheroes

When you're one of the hairiest superpeople in the Marvel Universe you start to wonder- what would life be like without your signature hirsute look?

Beast had the chance to be hair-free for a while and he found he missed his shaggy blue coat almost immediately, and when Tigra shaved her legs she immediately realized she'd made a terrible mistake.

So, as this comic parody by Kerry Callen shows, it's best to simply embrace who or what you are and wear your superhair proudly, or else you'll end up feeling cold, alone and totally un-special like all the other hairless normies in the world.

Man Makes Huge Leap Over Road

Saying you live a hop, skip and jump down the road is just an expression for most people, but for the guy in this video it's not just an expression or an empty boast- it's a claim he can easily back up by literally leaping across the road.

It's unclear whether the guy is a long jump champion or a human-frog hybrid, but whatever the case he has definitely proven he knows how to cross a road better than a chicken!

Hilarious Moments Of Cringe Inducing FAIL

(Image Link)

FAIL is something that never seems to go away, and no matter how many times people fail hard and become a laughing stock online there's always another yutz waiting in the wings for their chance to fail spectacularly. And sometimes that yutz is wearing a cheap Halloween store tophat.

(Image Link)

When faced with someone's FAIL your first response may be to feel bad for that person, but that's the last thing you should do because it was their bad decisions that led them to FAIL in the first place.

The kind of bad decisions that leave you eating your burger and fries off the bathroom floor like a FAIL gourmet.

Without FAIL we wouldn't have American heroes like this brilliant man out there making America stupid again.

And if not for the FAIL this guy would go on crying to his own songs forever, songs I'm guessing his love interests don't find half as moving as he does.
