Real Birds Tweet on Twitter

Real Birds Tweet on Twitter Finally, justice was served, and twittering was given back to the original source – the birds! Latvian conceptual artist and creative director Voldemars Dudums created a system for birds to type Twitter status updates: all he needed was a three-euro keyboard and some unsalted fat, attached to the keys with stainless steel screws. By eating off the fat, the birds would hit the keys with their beaks and post online! The birds, mostly tomtits, seem to appreciate the idea as well, as this innovative bird feeder gives them a stable source of food in winter. The installation itself isn’t affected by cold, either,...

Mind-blowing Anamorphic Illusions by Brasspup

Mind-blowing Anamorphic Illusions by Brasspup After seeing lots of anamorphic illusions (see here, here and here) you get really bored about this whole thing. Yesterday, however, a friend of mine showed me a video titled “Amazing Anamorphic Illusions” that just blew my mind. A master of such illusions, going by the Brusspup nickname, posted this video just two days ago and it already has more than 2 millions views. It shows three different anamorphic illusions – a Rubik’s cube, a shoe, and a tape roll. The trick of anamorphism is seeing the object from just the right angle, in which case it will seem perfectly normal and clear....

21 Heart Touching Dear Photographs

21 Heart Touching Dear Photographs What started off as a small blog with just 6 family pictures based on a principle of matching an old photo with the present day setting, has now turned into highly successful site of digital nostalgia with hundreds of submissions from all over the world. The idea about the project came to a 22-year-old Ontario-based Taylor Jones completely by accident. He was going through his parents’ old pictures and in one of the photos he saw his brother, sitting on the same kitchen table like Taylor was then. Taylor held the photo up in front of the table and took a new picture – in only 6 weeks, the response...

20 Hilarious Pinterest Fails

20 Hilarious Pinterest Fails Do you remember our super popular list of 20 creative DIY projects we’ve posted a couple of months ago? Judging by the enormous “like” count, it seems that many of you may have tried some of these DIY ideas yourself. However, often the results are so different from the photos that it’s hard not to laugh! Sites like pinstrosity spotted this unlucky trend, and started sharing funny DIY fails from Pinterest and asking users to submit their own. From modern hair buns turned into a cleaning-day-at-home sort of hairdo, to decorative pom poms looking like floor rags, the results are usually pretty disastrous....

China’s Goverment Paves a Highway Arround Stubborn Homeowners

China’s Goverment Paves a Highway Arround Stubborn Homeowners In order to build a new road, the Chinese government had to move a village of over 1000 people – two, however, said they would stay till the bitter end and didn’t leave. It wouldn’t be a big deal, only now their house stands alone in the middle of a new motorway of Xiayangzhang village in the province of Zhejiang. The phenomenon of a lone house that wasn’t torn down due to the constructions is called a “nail house” in China, referring to the image of an ingrown nail that’s painful and almost unable to remove. Luo Baogen and his wife, the only residents of the five-storey...
