Here's How the Scooby Doo Crew Would've Dressed Through the 20th Century

by Katharine Trendacosta

In her delightfully titled “Scooby Doo, When Are You?” series, artist Julia Wytrazek has perfectly imagined what Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Fred would have worn from 1910 through to the ’90s. I might be biased, but I like Velma’s looks the best.

by Andrea James

"We'll call it the Horsing Around Club, and we'll just f***in' go to town on each other, just visceral disturbing sh*t, y'know?" The only thing that would be better than Chuck Palahniuk reading Fight Club 4 Kids would be if this book were real. (via) Read the rest

People who take tiny doses of LSD and other psychedelics every day say it's wonderful

by Mark Frauenfelder

A strong dose of LSD is 500 micrograms. Some people are taking daily microdoses of 10 to 15 micrograms, which is not enough to feel trippy, but provides a sense of well-being and mental clarity.

My Smartphone Gave Me a Painful Neurological Condition

by Adam Clark Estes on Gizmodo, shared by Ria Misra to io9

A few months ago I started getting headaches, and they were weird. If a bad hangover headache feels splitting, I’d describe these headaches as searing, as if someone had hit me over the head with a red hot rod of steel sending electric bolts of pain across my skull.

The Rules Of Riding On The Back Of Another Man's Motorcycle

by Patrick George on lanesplitter, shared by Damon Lavrinc to Jalopnik

Besides chain smoking, or being a 1960s movie star, nothing makes you look sexier than riding a motorcycle. But when you’re a man it’s awfully hard to look cool on the back of another man’s bike, an unceremonious position referred to as “riding bitch.”

Attention Police Officers: Please Enforce The Left Lane Law

by Doug DeMuro

So I’m driving along the other day in the left lane of a major interstate highway, and I get up behind a Honda CR-V with “Conserve Wild Resources” license plates. These license plates have a picture of an owl on them. It was at this moment when I knew I would soon be passing on the right.

Facts You May Not Know About One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

by Lisa Marcus

Image: United Artists

It's hard not to be moved by Milos Foreman's classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The film can lead even the most hardened of filmgoers from laughter to tears. Yet it's not only the audience that is emotionally affected by the material. One cast member even had his sanity questioned by the end of the shoot.

The place in which the actors lived during production didn't help the situation. In fact, all of the actors who played patients in the film lived at the Oregon State Hospital psychiatric ward during the shoot. The men brought personal effects to their sleeping spaces, spent their days inside the ward and regularly interacted with the psychiatric patients there. That's more than a flyover — it's moving right in.

Tabby EVO – the $4000 open source electric car you can build yourself in an hour

by Nigel

tabbyevo

Do you want to know what’s keeping car industry execs awake at night right now? It’s not oil prices, it’s the convergence of open source and 3D printing technologies. Sure, right now the whole idea of DIY cars is a pipe dream, but look forward a decade or so and you can easily see a situation where car production goes completely local.

The new Tabby EVO is a prime example of how things could develop in [...]

Giving A Truck A Camera And A TV Is The Best Idea We Never Thought Of

by Michael Ballaban on Truck Yeah, shared by Nicole Conlan to Jalopnik

Alright, ignore that this is a terrible ad from Samsung, a massive South Korean multinational conglomerate that also dabbles in surveillance and weapons technology, for a second and just BASK IN THE GENIUS. Mostly because it seems like one of those brilliant ideas that everyone should’ve thought of before but didn’t.
