Monoprice's 27" IPS Display, Solar Gadgets Galore, and More Deals
Monoprice's 27" 2560x1440 IPS display has long been a favorite cheap alternative to Apple's Thunderbolt Display, and they're currently offering it through their eBay storefront for just $300. Interestingly, that matches their advertised Black Friday price, so you won't need to worry about any buyer's remorse. […
The sounds of repairing shoes are surprisingly satisfying
I can close my eyes and just listen to the noises of all the work that goes into repairing shoes. The machines pressing down, the cutting of the sole, the sanding, the stitching, the brushing of the glue. It's a symphony of satisfying noises. It's the only soundtrack you need.
What would happen if you lived in a country with only terrible music
I totally agree with what this ad for Belgium-based radio station Studio Brussel says: Good music is a human right. Or at least, the United Nations should ban You're Beautiful and James Blunt from everyfreakingwhere.
Do the Over-the-Top Twitter References In Chef Totally Ruin the Movie?
I finally got around to seeing Chef, the Jon Favreau film about a chef who joins Twitter and (SPOILER ALERT) starts a food truck. Now food trucks and Twitter go together like Korean BBQ and tacos but in this film thetweet-integration was ridiculously blatant—really, to the point of distraction. So much so that when…
How a lock works explained in one perfect cutaway video
I'm a big fan of cutaway things, specially if they are real like this lock. It's fascinating to see how machines and mechanisms work, with the little pins and springs moving to fit the shape of the key, leaving the barrel free to move when everything clicks.
Help! It's the Holiday Season and My Parents Have Discovered Twitter!
Sometimes it feels like if you don't post, tweet, or Tumbl an event, it kind of isn't real. But while you're focusing on inflicting FOMO upon your frenemies, it's easy to forget about your most ardent and devoted social media fan base: your family. And now that the holidays are here, you've got some explaining to do.
Video: How to make those delicious looking porn burgers
Nobody makes a burger look better than pornburger master Matthew Ramsey. Each of his burgers are stunning works of art that you can almost taste and feel the savory meat juice just by looking at them. Here's a video he made with National Geographic that reveals how he makes his creations look so damn good.
Netflix Is Rescuing a Tina Fey-Created Series That NBC Killed
Saving shows that networks stupidly cancelled has been kind of a thing for the new wave of content creators, like Yahoo famously taking the reins of Community. Now a pre-emptively cancelled midseason replacement for NBC starring Ellie Kemper and created by Tina Fey has been scooped up by Netflix.
Beyonce: 7/11
As a Friday treat to her mortal fans, Beyoncereleased two of the songs off her upcoming deluxe version of last year's Beyonce, which is coming out November 24. Both songs are good, but I can't resist Beyonce when she raps so I'm favoring "7/11."
7 Drone Ideas Cooler than TGI Friday's Dumb Mistletoe Drone Idea
You might've seen a mistletoe-toting drone (sponsored by TGI Friday's) pop up in your Facebook feed this week. This idea is both dumb and unoriginal. Some maker-types deployed a mistletoe drone in San Francisco last year. That was cute. This is a marketing stunt.
Insane video of a truck racing and a Formula 1 car and jumping over it
Holy mother of God, this has to be one of the craziest vehicle stunts I've ever seen: The Formula 1 team Lotus got one of their giant trailer trucks to jump over one of their race cars running at full speed. It is absolutely insane.
Maybe Thanos' Real Quest Was Just a Cool Refreshing Drink
As the movie-going public slowly catches up on who Thanos is and what he has planned for the universe, the comic book fans of the world eagerly—but cautiously—wait to see how Marvel will bring The Infinity Gauntletto the big screen. There's one thing that's for certain, though, there's definitely going to finally be…
Back to the Future Wasn't Supposed to Have a Sequel
Great Scott! Did you know that Back to the Future was never supposed to have a sequel? Imagine that reality for a second — a world without Marty McFly's hoverboard and shoes and flying DeLorean? The mind reels!
Download This Free Tool to See If the Government's Spying on You
It's been over a year-and-a-half since documents leaked by Edward Snowden shook our sense of privacy to the core. Those documents proved that government is spying on us pretty much all the time. And now that we know Congress isn't going to do anything about it right away, it's time to find the tools to protect…
I Zapped My Wine With an Ultrasonic Decanter and It Tasted Pretty Good
Technology that can age wine within minutes sounds like it belongs in the same too-good-to-be-true boat as those ads for that "one food that kills belly fat." But the inventor behind a device that claims to do just that, the Sonic Decanter, recently invited to me to test out this fantastical technology. Does it work?…
There Are Some Countries Smaller Than This Epic Millennium Falcon Toy
First revealed earlier this summer, Hasbro's latest version of the most iconic spaceship in the Star Wars universe is finally available to add to your collection. The two-and-a-half-foot long Millennium Falcon toy (if you can even call it that at this scale) is packed with details and believe it or not is powered…
The Best Vape Pen for Every Appetite
Why settle for a vape pen that can only handle oils, waxes, loose-leaf marijuana or e-liquids when one pen can do it all? Multimode pens are getting easy to find, and they're quickly dropping down to double-digit prices. Problem is, a lot of these cannabis and tobacco-vaporizing devices perform like you bought them…
Let's Talk About Whatever You Want Right Now
You know how in 1997's Batman and Robin Mr. Freeze shows up and starts blasting everyone with his weird blue ice and making bad puns? I feel like that happened in America this week, somewhere, and we just haven't found out about it yet. What I'm trying to say is it's frigggggggggin cold out. Also I get the films of…
Tell Us Your Worst Reply All Horror Story
There is no good outcome if you hit "Reply All" when you meant to reply to just one person. There are just varying degrees of humiliating consequences, from suffering the indignity of your coworkers simply thinking you suck at email all the way to getting fired for accidentally telling the entire company your boss had…

If you're planning on purchasing a new DSLR or compact system camera this holiday season, Amazon has a deal going that will save you $25 any listed price, including Black Friday deals.
Titanic 8-foot-high Lego Guardian building took 22 months to build
Seeing a photo of this model was one of those rare times when I double take a Lego build to make sure that it isn't actually just a picture of the real thing. Jim Garrett has built a massive 8 foot model of the Guardian Building in Detroit and it is truly impressive.
No Time to Sew? A Clip-On Button Is the Perfect Temporary Fix
Just because your collared shirt came with a couple of spare buttons hanging off a tag doesn't mean you always have time to sew a replacement back on when the need arises. So an emergency replacement button that temporarily clips onto your shirt like a paperclip so you can quickly do it back up needs to exist—and,…
