There are only two kinds of people of that you normally find on Chatroulette – bored randoms or half naked dudes doing things that might well affect their vision in the future. It’s very rare you actually stumble across anything cool. And there’s not much cooler than the chance to help fight a zombie apocalypse! But that’s exactly what the Chatrouletters and Omeglers in this video were given. British-based studio Realm Pictures mocked up an end of the world scenario, giving them control over the first person shooter on their screen. An actor with a videocamera on his head was navigating…
No one likes to see an animal in pain (except maybe that douchebag dentist that killed Cecil the Lion). So the start of this video might not make for a very entertaining watch. But you needn’t worry, the animal in strife soon sorts himself out. And then goes on the attack! We’ve seen sharks attack and why it isn’t a good idea to taunt alligators, but how about bears? Well, it’s a bear we see here. One that’s been run over by a SUV. It looks like maybe a paw is trapped under a wheel. But the clever bear gets out from…

He’d been unable to locate any of Kaas’ family and tried via the social network. But on the day?

We’re all fascinated by sharks, aren’t we? You’ve only got to see the viewing figures for Shark Week to know that.The giants of the deep, with their enormous teeth and aggressive attitudes. Movies like Jaws and Sharknado (to a lesser degree…) have cemented sharks’ reputation as the toughest animals in the water. But the shark isn’t man’s natural enemy. Not by a long chalk. Sure, there have been fifteen reported shark attacks in 2015 already, but they only come about when we muscle in on their turf. You don’t hear stories of Great White Sharks strolling into bars, necking a few…
We all loved Legos as kids, didn’t we? Those tiny little brightly-colored Danish bricks can make anything, after all. What’s not to love?! But it turns out that Legos aren’t just for kids, you know. Adults can have plenty of fun with them too! Imgur user and YouTuber RedTec knows all about this first hand. He’s spent the past THREE YEARS creating a fully-functional bolt action, detachable sniper rifle with a removable nine round magazine. And it’s pretty amazing… We’ve heard of guys making Lego guns before, but never anything this epic! Three years is a long time, huh? He must be…
When you get a taxi, the most connection you normally make with the driver is some polite chit-chat about when his shift ends or how busy he is. In return he might ask you few generic questions about where you’re going and what your plan is. But Irishman Liam Murphy’s a little different – he goes the extra mile! Liam’s working over in Dubai at the moment, the super rich Arab state. On a day off he decided to visit Ferrari World, a theme park in Abu Dhabi all themed – naturally – around the Italian supercar manufacturer. In the…
UK pharmacy chain Superdrug have an ‘online doctors’ website and they recently launched a campaign designed to find about all about how people see beauty and physical perfection across the world. They wanted to find out the answer to the question, ‘how do perceptions of beauty vary across the globe?’ To find out they took a standard picture of a pretty normal looking young woman. They sent that picture to 18 different graphic designers from all across the world with the brief to ‘retouch’ the image in order to make the girl ‘more beautiful’ for the people of their homeland. The…

When food goes missing from your fridge, the most logical answer is that whoever you live with ate it or threw it out. What’s less likely is that there’s a strange, feral girl living secretly in the vents. Unless you’re New York City resident Joe Cummings, that is. It wasn’t just missing food that made Cummings suspicious. Other strange and unexplained things were happening at home. His girlfriend pleaded ignorance and so – seemingly to catch her out – he set up a hidden camera to try and find out what was happening. And find out he did… And he…
