“The nudibranch is a soft bodied marine gastropod mollusk – but many people simply refer to them, perhaps somewhat unfairly, as sea slugs. You can see why they gained this nick name (even though it is often taxonomically inaccurate too!) but compared to the land bound version they are an explosion of color and grace. Here are just a few of the 3,000 species.” w/ photos

“Just the thought of mold is something that makes many people involuntarily shudder. Yet there is more to it than meets the eye – particularly if you are lucky enough to see Kim Fleming’s remarkable macrophotography. Up close we are witness to an enigmatic and beautiful alien world on our own doorstep. This strange and wonderful thing is Hemitrichia calyculata. It typically has stalked sporocarps. These are fruiting bodies which contain sporangia – the mold version of seeds. They look like the weird plants that featured in numerous 1950s science fiction B-movies. Or maybe even some strange alien egg pods, left to be discovered by innocent space travelers. No need to worry, though – at most they reach two and a half millimeters in height.” w/ photos

“Rules: Just the beeps, whirs, chirps, and scratches that make up the ‘dialogue’ for R2D2. He needed to be on-screen, and beeping/talking… everything else was cut.”

“Part of a water park near the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, Insano is known as one of the most thrilling water park attractions in the world. Constructed in 1989, it still holds the record for the highest water slide on Earth, at 134ft high. That’s as tall as a 14-storey building, in case you were wondering. What makes Insano ‘the most extreme equipment of this type on the planet’ (according to the beach park’s official site) is the very steep slide that really lets gravity do its number on anyone crazy enough to try it. Apparently, the whole decent takes just 4 to 5 seconds but during that time you can reach speeds of up to 65mph. That’s as fast as a Ferrari.” w/ photos + video

“I developed a strange obsession with a particular scene that uses this song, I’ve watched it probably a total of about 30 times. That’s why I made this. I regret nothing.” — m.m26

“Nice concept, but there’s no point putting a scope on it or pretending it’s going to have any sort of reliable accuracy when the first thing you have to do to fire it is remove your steadying hand and then jerk a trigger mechanism… at the slow mo bit, just look at how much your barrel bends and shakes just before you actually turn the release valve… just when you really don’t want it to move even a mm if you can help it.” — LordDarkwii
