Dubai’s Robot Cop
Despite every bit of pop culture telling us that robots are going to kill all of us in horrifically violent ways (the most popular way being waging an extremely one-sided thermonuclear war), Dubai went ahead and built itself a robot cop. Supposedly the 5' 5" 222 lb robot will use…

12 Places to Consider for Your Summer Vacation

MIT Engineers Just Reinvented Shorts
Ministry of Supply's Going Places shorts can be worn any day of the week in any situation, from work to casual hangouts to summer vacations to just sitting around the house (though that'd make them a bit oxymoronic). Like the line's blazer and pants, the shorts are made of stretching, moisture-wicking fabric…
Camp in a Barracks with the Lodge Tent

Food comes up in Seinfeld pretty frequently, so it was only a matter of time before someone on YouTube cashed in. Lucky for the world, it was the series Binging with Babish, which seems to have the explicit objective of making us very fat. As part of his Seinfeld special, Andrew Rea, host…

The Funniest Shows You’ve Never Heard Of
Looking for a new TV comedy can take you to some pretty painful places. Sure, not funeral parlor levels of bleakness, but when you’ve spent two weeks sorting through every sitcom ever proposed by Hollywood’s hackiest writers, a funeral parlor might end up being a bit of a spiritual boon.…
