About a year ago, Rick Rolling someone was the coolest fucking thing on the Internet. I mean you were seriously the man if you fooled one of your friends who actually knew what the hell Rick Rolling was all about. Now that the meme-of-all-memes is passe, why not change the game up and literally make a Rick Astley Roll? I’m ...

Forest fires are morbid scenes. Sure, there are all of those precious woodlands which are destroyed, but more important, our homes and families are at risk. Enter the forest fire prevention robot, designed by Jordan Guelde. Smokey The Bear (or even OLE, the fire fighting beetle bot) ain’t got nothing on this tough mofo.

I mean, I can’t think of a day that has passed in years where I haven’t relied on my cellphone or computer for some major aspect of my life.

We’ve all heard enough about the presidential election in the recent months, but of what constructive use does this give us? Sure, we have a better idea of who could be running the free world for the next 4 to 8 years, but come on, we need some LOLz in our life! A change of pace from all of the ...

A typical unicycle is a one wheeled vehicle, where you can usually spy the driver of the said vehicle positioned on-top of the single wheel, flopping around like a trained circus performer. It’s time for a unicycle revolution! And the Monowheel delivers on all counts. Instead of riding atop of a wheel, the Monocycle puts the driver inside of the ...
