Bastards. The team at NYCResistor have a new laser cutter and they want you to know about it. Check out this tiny, tiny, TINY dinosaur that’s like half the size of a fucking penny. How in the world do you even design things this small? Either way, it’s awesome and I want an entire fleet of robo-dinos to battle my ...

There’s no rock and roll here. Just pure fucking metal. Oh, and a pizza too. Watch in amazement as a 2KW laser punctures a pie to perfection. I love the dude at the end who actually goes in for a slice. After all, if you’re not going to eat a laser-cut pizza, then what the heck’s the point of making ...

For those not familiar with Marc Owens’ work, he’s the man behind the Avatar Machine. It’s a suit which allows the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface. Now he’s working on another suit that’s sure to turn heads. According to a study that found that 54 percent of all males ...

Take a peek at this video of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Who doesn’t love messing with an amusement park’s rides to make massacres occur at will? In Tycoon 2, I used to build the free fall rides real short, but make it launch at high speeds. It was a death trap ride I named “Suicide Machine“. This video shows a roller ...

Good job, kid. I thought I was the master at winning at those claw machines/crane machines you see in the arcade. That was, until I saw you crawling into the goddamned machine in the above video. You sneaky shit. You think you can just climb in there and take all the XXL New York Mets t-shirts you want? Not on ...

I think we can all agree that drinking cold beer is the best activity ever created. But after a long day at the beach, drinking cold brews under a hot sun, we’re left with tons of empty bottles. Now because we’re vacationing in a shitty state (we’re cheap), we can’t recycle these bottles for money. So what can we do ...

If you’re like Vince and I, competitive bikers and participators in the Tour de France, then you’ll be happy to know that the bike company Trek is pioneering the forefront in vending machines for bikes called “Trek Stop.” It’s the cycling convenience center that provides nearby stranded bikers all the needs (without the know-how) for bike repair. At the moment, ...

So you’ve seen the Star Wars Rube and the perhaps that viral ad Cadbury did with the eggs. Now we’ve found a Rube Goldberg machine that most Americans would be proud to build. It’s none other than a cocktail-mixing machine! But not just any cocktail… This Rube Goldberg machine makes sheer delight out of the process of mixing a Falling ...

Neatorama has done a great job at rounding up some wacky and unique vending machines. While we’ve all reached for that 5-year-old bag of Party Mix before, these machines offer everything from marijuana to hot dogs to iPods. Though iPods aren’t anything new, I was surprised to find you can get a delicious (and kosher) Nathan’s hot dog from a ...

A Japanese company called Fujitaka has introduced a “Child Check System” for cigarette vending machines that uses facial recognition. It then compares the face with 100,000 faces in the vending machines database after taking a digital photograph of the consumer. The legal smoking age in Japan is 20, so if you just so happen to be a 13-year old looking ...
