These days the United States is truly a nation divided, with Democrats and Republicans at each other's throats, civil unrest causing people to clash in the street and white supremacists openly stirring the pot with their hate speech.
So until the turmoil dies down you may want to refrain from sharing these hilarious maps created by Yanko Tsvetkov because they may cause further complications in your life.
Or maybe you like sticking it to people who walk around acting like their s#%t don't stink, if shock value in an easy to share color map suits your needs then these maps from Yanko's Atlas Of Prejudice: The Complete Stereotype Map Collection are for you!
Rendering realistic looking water in a painting or illustration is a very difficult task, since the translucency of water is hard to replicate, but can you imagine how impossible it would be to actually draw on water?
Without the use of foam or a similar substance floating on the surface ink or paint or any other medium simply dissolves in the water, but dry erase marker ink actually floats on the surface and retains its shape remarkably well.
This video from The Action Lab shows you how it's done, and watching doodles float is really fun!
It might seem like the people creating the advertising for KFC have lost their minds, but they're actually using well-crafted madness to create one of the most memorable ad campaigns of all time.
But the branding doesn't stop with the customers, because new employees are also treated to some fun with the Colonel when they play a bizarre VR training game that teaches them how to make fried chicken the hard way.
It can be hard for people to admit to their movie loving friends that they've never seen any of the movies in classic franchises like A Nightmare On Elm Street or Planet of the Apes because they think their friends will make fun.
So rather than dealing with any ribbing they skip these movie franchises altogether, which is a shame since these films are really fun to watch and referenced in pop culture so often it's crazy.
For A Nightmare On Elm Street Daniel rightly suggests watching Freddy's Nightmares Episode 1 to get Freddy's backstory, then watching the first Nightmare film followed by the third film Dream Warriors.
As for Planet Of The Apes Daniel says the first installment is the only required viewing, but I love all the films and feel like Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes is eerily relevant again with all the madness in the world today.
Have you seen this picture of a mug full of ice with a quarter on top going around the internet? It has been going around a lot lately due to the hurricane situation in Texas and Florida because it's a visual depiction of a life hack that is truly a life saver.
So here's the trick- if you're going to be away from your house for an extended period of time, by choice or otherwise, you should freeze a mug full of water then set a quarter on top of the ice and put the mug back in your freezer.
If you come home and the quarter is still on top then your power stayed on and the food in your freezer should be fine, but if the quarter is anywhere else but on top of the ice then the power went out while you were away and the food in your freezer might be spoiled.
JP isn't just a spiritual guru and a life advice giver guy- he's also Vegan AF and one hell of a cook, so if you really want to Awaken your Ultra Spiritual life you've gotta eat like JP too.
And, as JP shows us in his Raw Vegan Cooking video, it's pretty easy to cut out all the worst foods and replace them with super power foods like cucumber, which is one of the best universal replacement foods out there.
What other vegetable can be used as the crust, the sauce and the cheese of a pizza? None other, that's what other, and JP's super fresh cucumber pizza will change the way you think about fake food.
Most people try to live on either the light or dark side of life, striving to do mostly good or the most harm as they live in a morally black and white world.
They are stuck in a role, unable to seize all the opportunities life throws their way, which is just fine by those who live a morally loose life because it gives them more chances to come up.
Need to make some cash on Craigslist? Lowball the seller anonymously then buy low, it's only a slightly awful thing to do, not full blown evil so you won't go full blown dark side.
Spilling soda at the movie theater ain't such an evil act either, nor is using an old pic of your flat tire to bail on work or an event because you know what? You deserve to enjoy your leisure time to the max, so block the movie ruiners and skip the social obligations- for your health.
The contestants who dedicate their faces to the World Beard and Moustache Championships are serious about their facial hair, and even though many of the guys look seriously funny their level of commitment is impressive.
Can you imagine walking around for months, if not years, with lovely locks long enough to braid hanging off of your face? Neither can I, nor could I ever imagine a scenario where I would want to shape my beard into a duck bill, but this guy went there and the result was glorious.
Photographer Greg Anderson shot these amazing pictures and many more at the 2017 World Beard and Moustache Championships, and Greg says "This is my 4th year shooting this project, and it just seems to keep getting better."
Normally people lose a few bucks and give up on those supposedly rigged and "impossible to beat" games at the carnival, but each one has a trick to it that can help you win every time, after a little practice, of course.
Tossing a softball into the mouth of a milk jug seems impossible because the ball always bounces off the edge, which is by design- the opening is only 1/16 of an inch wider than the ball you're tossing, so you have to hit the sweet spot with a bit of backspin:
“The secret to winning Milk Can is to give the ball a bit of backspin and hit the back of the can’s rim. The backspin will decrease the ball’s momentum, and instead of bouncing off the can, it will slide into the hole. Easier said than done, of course!”
You’ll want to aim for the back of the rim and deflect the ball into the hole, instead of hitting it like a nothing-but-net basketball shot. Grip the ball underhand like you’re going to loft it with the flick of your wrist, and give your throw some serious backspin and a small arch to it can roll backwards off the rim into the hole.
The rope ladder is the other game which always seemed impossible to me, but just like with the milk jugs there's a simple trick that makes the game fairly easy to beat with a little practice:
“The trick to climbing carnival rope ladders is to completely ignore the "rungs" and only use the outside ropes to climb on. While applying equal pressure with your right foot and left arm, move your left foot and right arm uat the same time. Then do the same thing with the opposite limbs -- shimmying yourself up the ladder. Do not move both hands or both feet at the same time - you will lose your balance.”
Basically, you want to stay low and flat and shimmy up the ladder using opposite and equal body movements: left arm, right leg, move at the same time and shimmy; then right arm, left leg, move at the same time and shimmy.
In the beginning we were introduced to Mario and Luigi, two Bros who were supposedly plumbers clearing the pipes of turtles, crabs and other clogs.
But then the duo became Super and started doing way more than merely clearing the pipes, and people began to wonder "is Mario really a plumber, or does he just dress like one for the sake of character?
All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, he [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago...
Maybe the Super Mario Bros. can find work as professional dancers?
If you enjoy watching stop motion films and animated features then you're probably already familiar with the incredible movies created at LAIKA Studios, and you're most likely already a fan of their films.
However, if you're an animation fan who hasn't seen Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls or any of the other amazing films created by LAIKA then get to streaming one or all of them ASAP!
But if you're still on the fence, or you're a fan who has never taken a peek behind the scenes at Laika, then feast your eyes on this incredibly cool short video entitled "The Art and Science of LAIKA Studios".
In it you'll see how LAIKA uses cutting edge technology to help unleash the creativity of their artists, and how 3D technology has saved stop motion filmmaking from the rubbish bin.
I understand bees are disappearing from the planet at an alarming rate and I'm all for being super duper nice to bees and not killing them, maybe even going so far as to give them some flowers to hang out on.
The tenders and keepers of apiaries make perfect sense to me too, and God bless 'em for keeping bee colonies alive and that honey flowing, but boy does it look wrong when a beekeeper is covered with a swarm while pregnant!
Emily Mueller and her husband run Mueller Honey Bee, which opened in Ohio in 2015 with one mission in mind- save the bees.
Therefore it seemed natural for Emily to have her maternity photo shoot with Kendrah Damis centered around bees, and since she'd just rescued a swarm from a park the shoot came together without a hitch. Lots of buzzing but no hitching...excuse me while I take a sedative to calm my nerves.
If you're ugly and you know it then you probably don't give a crap about what people think of your appearance, which is the right way to be because looks are definitely not everything in life.
But if you only think you look ugly in pictures then you should stop posing for pics and get behind the camera, so you can take terrible pictures of your friends and tell them they look "fine" and "normal" when they really don't.
Don't just get all weepy like the girl in this Dami Lee comic, take action against those who act like you look fine in horrible pictures before they post those pics to Facebook!
I really hate waking up to bad news or other unsettling things that put me in a dark mood before I've had my coffee, and I really hate being woken up by a disaster when I'm sleeping sans pajamas.
But being woken up by a fox after falling asleep at the bus stop doesn't seem so bad, as long as you don't have a pepperoni in your pocket.
Waking up to find a cat floating above you is pretty weird but at least it's a pleasant sight to behold- unlike waking up to this horrific sight on the baby monitor.
There is one thing that makes being rudely woken up in the middle of the night a bit more tolerable- seeing a friend crashed out so hard the memory of their sleepy face will forever make you chuckle.
Automotive designers and manufacturers released some really far out looking vehicles in the mid-20th century, but no car embodied the Space Age design ideal like the Astra-Gnome, the "time and space car".
The Astra-Gnome was a science fiction vehicle come to life, and its creators at the Richard Abib Company were sure their futuristic car would change the way we drive when it was released in 1956.
The concept car was constructed on the chassis of a 1955 Nash Metropolitan, measured 6 feet wide and 13.5 feet long and contained the kind of features you'd expect to find in a car from the year 2000:
Everyone has always wanted a smaller car that has plenty of luggage space! The Astra-Gnome provides just this through its unique “integra-luggage” system with distributes suitcases into otherwise wasted space areas.
Everyone has always wanted a full vision top without troubles of a convertible! The Gnome’s bubble canopy, plus air conditioning, gives this open feeling, but with no wind noise and “walk-in” entrance and exit ease. Everyone has always wanted futuristic styling, but in a practical form that is functional – not just different! The Gnome has an “out of this world” look, yet features interchangeable colored aluminum trim panels in place of gaudy paint schemes, functional big car bumpers in place of small car weaknesses, and admirably adapts to unit-body construction.
