You really are a bastard, Ohcrapnick (I think that's your name. That's the what the guy called you at 0:28 of this video, anyway). But you're one hell of a driver, straddling the highway barrier in Grand Theft Auto Online, I'll give you that.

Do you know how to get the truth out of people? Not from some sort of movie truth serum shot or on a late night talk show or even in a conversation between two ferns, the way to pry the obscene truth is to stick them in a hot tub and feed them drinks.

Hashtag users of the world who saw the Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon skit that poked fun of our overuse of hashtags and yet are still hashtagging characters into the void: there's an even funnier dig on our language's growing reliance on hashtags and it was made nearly a year ago.

Remember that crazy Battlefield 4 E3 demo where the skyscraper came tumbling down and "leveloution" became a word? Yeah, that was great -- the collapsing building, not the buzzwords.

But have you wondered what it looks like to be in the building while it come down? YouTuber TerryxMasters did, and apparently the answer is that you just shuffle around some and die. I was hoping for some hamster-in-a-wheel tumbling, but I suppose that would be too tasking. If by some digital black magic that would be possible, oh please DICE, hear my prayers.

iOS 7 is allegedly making some people sick to the point of puking. But Jimmy Kimmel has come to the rescue with the perfect cure: stop looking at your phone all the damn time.

In August Google pushed out an update to its Chrome Beta channel that included quicker access to search by image via a long press or right click along with a slew of other features. Today, version 30 of the browser is hitting the stable channel, along with its revamp of gestures for the Android version. Over the coming days, users will receive an update on their handsets and tablets that moves all the gestures to the toolbar: swipe down to open the tab switcher and flip through open tabs by running your finger left or right. Chrome 30 also includes a host of backend improvements and access to new APIs such as MediaSource and DeviceMotion, for better integration between webapps and your handheld hardware. For more details about all the changes to both the mobile and desktop versions of Chrome, hit up the source.

You know the best thing about GTA V? It's not the scale, the cars, the missions or the guns. It's the fact there are swimming pools. And a brutal physics engine. This is the good Jackass game we never got.

Fun time waster alert: Filmillion. It's a movie guessing machine website that can figure out the movie you're thinking of by asking you 30 yes or no questions. You can be asked about the genre, the acting, if it's a blockbuster, how you feel when you watch it and so on. Some questions can get too revealing (what year the movie was released) but you have a range of answers that include probably yes, probably no and not sure, along with yes and no.

If you want a good idea of just how many people use Facebook on a daily basis, this dizzying site manages to cram every single user onto a single page—represented by over 1.2 billion colored pixels that can be zoomed to reveal the individual faces of every member.

Different strokes, different folks. Different guns, different countries. Here's a map showing the military issue rifle for each country in the world. You'll see familiar M4s, AK-47s, AK-74s, some M16s and tinkles of other weaponry. Judging by the map's choice of colors, it seems to group weapons that are of a similar family together by color.

It's a lazy Sunday. Maybe you slept in super late; that's kinda what Sundays are for. But what good is all that comatose-time doing you anyway? What if you just cut it out and were productive or something instead?

I love a well done infographic, and while we at Jalopnik pride ourselves on occasionally making ones of our own, when a really outstanding one gets sent along to us I'm delighted to show it off. And that's what we have here: an animated how-an-engine works infographic.

I feel like I could sing along to this DLC dub-jam from Destructoid blogger and YouTuber Genki-JAM (aka SMNtoob) without even knowing the words. Yes, it's partly because I've watched Aladdin more times than I've played Super Mario RPG (we're talking double digits, here), but also because of the salient, underlying truths bolstering this satire. And if nothing else, this is just hilarious; I think the bad singing actually helps.

It's probably a thankless job working a sperm bank since no matter how professional you keep things and no matter how numb your are to creeps and no matter how much paperwork you file and no matter how much pornography you offer, you'll still run into awkward situations. It's like a ruder version of working at the DMV where the people who work at the DMV are your customers.

Imperius, Mephisto and our scoundrel ally, Lyndon from Diablo 3 never looked as powerful and realistic as they do on digital artist TamplierPainter's paintings. These, as well as his whole gallery on deviantART, which features other games besides Diablo, are absolutely breathtaking.

The one in the show is cool, don't get me wrong, but in the books, it's described as being made of one thousands blades. HBO's version is nowhere near it.

Jalopnik's Travis Okulski: "Like Louis CK says, you're sitting on a chair in the sky. You should be freaking out the whole time." This video makes flying look like magicks indeed. Now think about this: Only a few centuries ago you could have been burned to death just for claiming that people can fly in metal machines.

Ah, speed-runners who do the impossible. A few days ago, the world record for beating Ocarina of Time was nineteen minutes and twenty seconds according to Zelda Speed Runs. Then, noted speed-runner Cosmo Wright came along and beat the game in a record nineteen minutes and fifteen seconds—and you can watch him do it above.

If you were to re-draw the map of the world according to each countries population, you would get a warped world that looked like this. Some giant countries like Canada and Australia become tiny strips and dots while other giant countries like China and India predictably inflate and take over the map. You can also see how crowded some countries are, Japan is bigger than Mexico! But at least all these countries made it on the map, Iceland and Belize didn't even have enough people to show up.
