Today I learned one use for human pee and debunked a myth about it while I did my research. Respectively, they are as follows:
I don’t think I need to cover the second point, since it’s pretty straightforward. The first point, on the other hand, is a different story.
Whether you’re eating breakfast on the go because you woke up late or are having takeout for lunch, the common factor between both (and with most other meals that you eat outside a proper dining area) is plastic utensils. They might not seem like much since they’re relatively small and all, but a little goes a long way. And since it takes more than twenty years to fully decompose, I’d say we’ve got more than enough of these spoons currently sitting in our landfills.
So Triangle Tree came up with a solution in the form of edible spoons called the Eco-Spoon.
Reddit user XsimonbelmontX aka Brandon wanted to get something nice for his wife since her birthday was coming up. Instead of getting a generic present like perfume or something crappy like a mug, he went above and beyond by making her a customized and one-of-a-kind Fallout version of the board game Monopoly.
Brandon basically painted over a regular Monopoly board and used his imagination and artistic prowess to add various scenes and locations Fallout, like Tenpenny Tower (it’s on the Boardwalk spot on the board, if you’re wondering.) He replaced the paper money in the set with bottle caps that ranged in value from $1 Nuka-Cola Quartz to a $500 Sunset Sarsaparilla Star piece.
Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a custom set of game pieces, so Brandon fashioned some from melted action figures and other random stuff like a miniature set of Coca-Cola bottles. You can check out more photos of Brandon’s masterpiece after the break!
How can someone mistake a ferret for a toy poodle? When the latter has had its hair fluffed up with hair products and its system pumped with steroids, that’s what. It sounds ridiculous, but apparently, it’s actually happening in Brazil. A man was recently duped when he bought what he thought were two toy poodles for $150. A toy poodle normally costs $1000, so he probably thought he was getting a bargain…until he dropped by his vet and was told that his dogs were actually poodles instead.
Because since more traditional toy poodles (of the canine variety) can go for upwards of $1,000, one merchant at Argentina’s largest bazaar got the brilliant, nightmare-inducing idea to pump a few of what Argentinians refer to as “Brazilian rats” (otherwise known as ferrets) full of ‘roids and hair product, pass them off as warped, perhaps inbred poodles, and turn a handsome profit in the process.
When it’s too good to be true, it usually is. But I’m sure you already knew that.
P.S. Instead of buying pure-bred or toy dogs from a breeder or pet store, why not adopt an equally lovable pooch from your local shelter instead?

Isn’t it a pain to drink beer or soda from a can and chug it down quickly so you can get to your next sip? You could use a glass, but then that would take some of the fizz out of your drink. The solution? Cans with tops that come off completely so you can sip your drink from the can as if it were a glass.
Not many companies are doing this, but the Sly Fox Brewing Company is and we think it’s a great idea. Head brewer Brian O’Reilly explains that the modification “allows the full flavor and aroma of the beer to hit the drinker’s senses.” The special lid can only be found on the company’s Helles Golden Lager, which is available across their Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey distribution area.

We’ve seen our fair share of awesome moms and dads who go the extra mile to make their kids happy. There’s Cory, who modded her kid’s push car and turned into a DeLorean, and geek dad Mike, who modded Legend of Zelda so that his daughter could play as a heroine instead of Link.
Then there’s awesome grandpa Alan Bennet who modded an old Daewoo Matiz and transformed it into an original-series Batmobile with an accompanying red Bat phone.
The guy you see in the picture above is 19-year-old Dandre Moore. And he’s a douchebag.
Dandre and Dartavious Moore were arrested last week when officers spotted the former texting while driving as they passed through the George Wallace Tunnel. The police realized things were much worse than they initially thought when they found out that Dandre was driving with his knees because he was double-texting. As if that’s not crazy stupid reckless enough, officers found that he had two women passengers and a 3-year-old toddler on board! To seal their fate, Xanax, 386 oxycodone pills, marijuana and $5,000 in cash was found in the car.
Dandre eventually admitted to police that he had been double-texting and knee-driving ever since he was 15. This guy’s got to do a lot of thinking so he can see the error of his ways–before it’s too late.

The things that you can do with an old hard drive is virtually limitless. If it’s beyond repair, then you can have it taken apart and salvaged for parts. You could sell the components, or use it to create hard drive works of art, like the Shadow of the Colossus hard drive. If you’re not very artsy, then you could mod it so you can use it as a paper weight, door stopper, or a book end.
However, if you’re particularly handy with tools and have a sweet tooth, then you might want to embark on a little DIY project and turn it into a cotton candy machine instead.
Nothing is free in this world. I mean, you can sign up for free offers or subscriptions, but you’ll end up paying for these sooner or later, one way or the other. For example, there’s this site in Japan that’s called Free Pants, and while they’ll send anyone who wants a pair some free underwear, it’s not as free as they’ll think.
You see, each of the pants they’ll be shipping out will have some ad of some sort on the bottom. The logo of some deodorant or shampoo brand or a cable company will be printed and displayed prominently all over the wearer’s butt for the whole world–or for whoever happens to be with them in the bedroom, anyway–to see.
Interested? Sign up for a pair on Free Pants.
