Scientists analyzing a two-mile deep mine in Ontario, Canada have discovered what is currently the oldest water known to date, at 2.6-billion years old. "Pfft, that's nothing." METHUSELAH YOU STAY OUT OF THIS. The scientists analyzed water they found 2 miles (2.4 km) deep. T... / Continue →

This is astronaut Chris Hadfield demonstrating what happens when you wring a washcloth out in space. It's completely different (read: cooler) than what happens here on boring old earth. Also, who the hell uses washcloths anymore -- this is 2011, folks. "2013." Right. This i... / Continue →

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 →

This is a video from Youtuber Brusspup of a stream of water appearing to fall to the ground in a zigzag pattern. Presumably because it's hipster water and a regular flow would be -- wait for it -- too mainstream. I'll be here all week, folks. The camera is set to match the v... / Continue →

At first I didn't understand what the big deal with this thing was, because it's just a wetsuit with membranes stretching from the arms and between the legs, but apparently it's supposed to give the wearer a sense of FLYING UNDERWATER. Cool, but do you know where I really want... / Continue →

I posted the Flyboard back in 2011 when the company first came on the scene, but now they're back with a fancy commercial. This is that commercial. And it's set to one of the most questionable songs I've heard in recent history and that's saying a lot because my little sister... / Continue →

This is a video of the Ultra Ever-Dry hydrophobic (water repelling) and oleophobic (oil repelling) spray being tested on a variety of surfaces and with different liquids. I know the screencap I used sucks pretty hard, but the video is actually worth a view. That is, if you li... / Continue →

This is a video of ink drops being dropped into water shot at 4k resolution (4,096 × 2,304). I included a diagram after the jump so you can appreciate how big 4k is versus 1080. Sadly, your monitor won't be able to play the video in its native resolution, but if you click the... / Continue →

Allegedly 8 Second Spaghetti from Royal Chef can cook in boiling water in 8-seconds. How, I don't know, presumably because it's already been cooked (or made from 100% unnatural, cancer-causing ingredients) and you're just heating it up. Kind of like how SpaghettiO's are ready... / Continue →

Because who doesn't want to barreling down a mountain covered in frozen grossness, the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort has just started making artificial snow with waste water from the town's local sewage treatment plant. It's not actually toilet water though, it's just the water ... / Continue →
