Antikythera computer from 2000 years ago more complex than first imagined

The findings, published in Nature, are probably best described as "mind blowing." Devices with this level of complexity were not seen again for almost 1,500 years, and the Antikythera mechanism's compactness actually bests the later designs. Probably built around 150 B.C., the Antikythera mechanism can perform a number of functions just by turning a crank on the side.

Been following the Antikythera phenomenon for most of my life...since I gained interest around age 11. It is so amazing that people overlook simple - yet mind-blowing - discoveries such as this.
Don't you understand? We had advanced computers and calculating mechanisms 1500 years before ANYTHING ELSE of its kind was seen. And this device was seemingly mass-produced. The encroaching hordes of religious warriors and dogmatic belief systems have set us back thousands of years.

This Is Crabcore

Music video for the song Stick Stickly by the band Attack Attack.
Please bear with the terrible nature of the band, if just for the rediculous nature of the music. Stay tuned for a EuroHouse/Autotuned ending to this magnificent piece of crap. Absolutely astounding.

This is how far the Women's Rights movement has brought us

Sad thing is that it's a real product. No photoshop here, folks.
At least the little girl looks white.

Ever seen this man in your dreams?

thisman

HISTORY

In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life.

That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist's desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life.

The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN.

From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.

At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams.

Time Displacement Experimental Video

Most excellent video of an experimental frame-delay technique. Causes the model tolook like she is moving impossibly.

Yoshimoto Cube

The Yoshimoto Cube transforms into two stellated rhombic dodecahedrons. Awesome.

Toys like this need to be in every school. Having your mind blown on a daily basis is probably really healthy.
