If you were looking for the definitive instructional video on how to properly use chopsticks, then look no further. At least The Japanese Tradition is somewhat educational for the first few minutes — until the video takes a bizarre turn and starts following standard Japanese protocol, i.e. bat-shit-craziness. Please enjoy.

If you’re undecided about how to take your eggs this morning, the decision just got made a bit easier. Scrambled Hard Boiled Eggs combine a few different techniques. First, scrambled….The preferred method of the boring and lazy. And hard-boiled… For those who need their eggs stinky and portable.
The result is a scrambled, stinky, egg on-the-go. And it’s all yellow, so you can really freak your friends out. Please watch this…
Pizza boxes are an under-appreciated marvel of engineering, but an empty one takes up so much space in your recycling bin. Unless of course you find a more creative way to repurpose the now useless vessel.
Brought to us by Russian artist Ilya Andreev, The Pizza Box Laptop Stand is the perfect way to get the former pie holder back in action. And, think of all the space you’ll save on recycling day… Unless you’re throwing out a few less cool laptop stands.
See more about the project here.

Sure, you could dirty two bowls and a scoop making ice cream for two. Or, you could test the effectiveness of those new knives, and split a pint of ice cream right down the middle.
And, boom — it’s Valentine’s Day, so go ahead and cut a pint in half for the one you love. You’re welcome.
Even in 1974, our laziness and yearning for pizza knew no bounds. So, for the first “high-tech sociolinguistic experiment” of its kind, computer scientists Jerome (J.J.) Jackson and John Eulenberg of Michigan State University’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory developed a system for ordering a pizza with a computer.
Using type-to-speech conversion, a phone hooked up to an old-school modem attempted its first order with Domino’s. Lucky for our scientists, Domino’s lost patience for the robot voice and long awkward pauses, and hung up. Eventually, Mr. Mike’s Pizza took the order for a 16″ pie with mushrooms, pepperoni, ham, and sausage. Success!!

You too can turn your cat into Iron Man. All you need is a spare grapefruit rind, some mad cutting skills, and a cat who won’t claw your eyes out in the process. Good luck.
