58-year old Wen Hsu has lived in the same apartment building in Jilin city, China, for the last 35-years. Recently, all of Wen's neighbors were bought out of the building by a construction company wanting to build a mall in its location. Except Wen says they weren't offering ... / Continue →

OMG ADAM, IT'S STARTING. IT'S STARTING! This is a video of a GIANT 7.4 cubic km (~1.75 cubic mile) chunk of ice breaking off the Ilulissat glacier in Greenland (note: link has higher res video than I embedded after the jump). It was captured by James Balog as part of his doc... / Continue →

Apparently Mercer's wine flavored ice cream has existed for awhile but this is the first time I've heard of it so it was NEWS TO ME. You probably already knew about it though and feel the urge to call me a stupid idiot in the comments. DO NOT RESIST THAT URGE. Holding back y... / Continue →

Looking cool is just a bonus. This is Seqinetic, a pair of €59 (~$75) glasses that have six LEDs and a reflector to shoot a comforting white "daylight" spectrum of light around your eyes (but not directly in them) to improve your mood in the long, dark winter months. Me? I j... / Continue →

This is the $12,000 EatWave, a refrigerated vending machine with an integrated microwave that knows how long to nuke your selection to deliver it STEAMING HOT, like a pile of dog shit on a cold day. I'm not sure if the whole compartment where you pick up your food is the micro... / Continue →

This is the $424 Matt Nylon Hooded Down Jacket. It has a vented hood with integrated goggles (plus a sweet ass pom-pom on top!). Not only will you look cool, but you won't lose any precious body heat out of your uncovered face and neck. Just don't burp in there after eating ... / Continue →

SPOILER: It doesn't explode :( This is a video from Syracuse University of some homemade lava with a temperature of around 1371°C (~2500°F) being poured over a six-foot slab of ice. Personally, I think it looks like a cheese pizza but that's just me and I haven't had anything... / Continue →

This is a line of sci-fi/horror movie character popsicles from ice-cream maker/clothing company Stoyn. Mmmm, black licorice, hands down one of the most disgusting flavors known to man (this man anyways -- and I've drank curdled milk). Apparently they're actually making all th... / Continue →

This is West Coast Chill, a poorly named energy drink that comes in a self-cooling can. You just press a button on the bottom, and the can will cool the drink inside 30-degrees in 3-5 minutes. No word what happens if the can was already frozen to begin with, but hopefully a g... / Continue →

Parenting: you two suck pretty hard at it. Wheelblades are $248 skis for wheelchairs and strollers designed to make them easily pushable in the snow. Why you'd even want to go out in the snow if you were in a wheelchair or stroller is beyond me, but my guess is it wasn't your... / Continue →
