Artificial intelligence can be used to reimagine horror movie posters or generate a never-ending ‘Seinfeld’ sitcom on Twitch, called ‘Nothing Forever’. Created by Skylar Hartle and Brian Habersberger, this sitcom was made possible using a combination of machine learning, generative algorithms, and cloud services.
Larger than life PlayStation 5 consoles have started appearing around the world, allegedly for the company’s ‘Live from PS5’ marketing campaign. So far, they have been spotted in Dubai and Rome, with a giant Leviathan Axe from God of War Ragnarok popping up right next to the London Eye.
Lasers can be used to reveal a toilet’s spray, and also, to remove ink from currency. More specifically, Kevin Kohler of Backyard Scientist fame decided to test a laser chainsaw / welding machine with various attachments to see if it was able to successfully complete random tasks, including removing cobwebs, cutting down a tree, and even removing ink from currency.
A strange blue spiral appeared in the night sky over Hawaii’s Mauna Kea last week, and many speculated that it was some sort of UFO, but in reality, the phenomenon was due to frozen rocket fuel ejected during a SpaceX launch. A Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) was sent into space for the U.S. Space Force on Wednesday (Jan. 18) at 7:24 a.m. EST, and this blue spiral was captured by the Subaru Telescope shortly after.
GameFlavor teamed up with Capcom to launch a bizarre limited edition Resident Evil First Aid Drink Collector’s Box that can be used for cocktails or even cosplay. Limited to 4,750 boxes, the kit visually resembles the in-game model, complete with memories of Spencer Mansion. It contains ten 330ml first aid spray cans, four ink ribbon cans filled with spice mixes, a spray cap, matching cocktail recipes and a serial-numbered certificate of authenticity.

There’s nothing particularly special about the standard Porsche 944, that is unless…you’re talking about this bizarre six-wheeled pickup truck conversion being offered for $188,347 USD. Think of this as the Frankenstein of Porsche mods, as the front is sourced from a Porsche 944 S2, while the headlights were taken from a 924 Carrera GT, complete with six 993 Turbo 17-inch BBS alloy wheels.
You’ve seen id Software’s classic DOOM game running on a Milky Way bar, now a programmer has created a functional calculator inside the title, and without using any mods. Danny Spencer didn’t build the adding machine in a level editor, as he wrote code in the programming language Clojure using Boolean algebra.
Just like the AcryPhone, the Stone Watch is designed to purely be a showpiece rather than a functional device. It is made by Tama-Kyu, a Japanese Gashapon maker, or vending machine-dispensed capsule toys that date back to the 1960s. The display is just a piece of shiny plastic, which means you won’t be able to pair it with a smartphone.
Some may have seen Commuter Cars Tango before, while most have not. Donut Media wanted to introduce the all-electric Tango T600 to the world in their latest video, as it just might be the world’s most expensive as well as narrowest tiny car, or the complete opposite of the 2023 EarthRoamer SX.

Scientists from Harvard University, University of Vermont, and Tufts University have created the world’s first AI-designed Xenobots that can replicate. Though it sounds as creepy as this robotic finger with human-like skin, these living robots are essentially computer-designed, hand-assembled organisms capable of swimming out into their tiny dish, find single cells, gather hundreds of them together, and assemble “baby” Xenobots inside their Pac-Man-shaped “mouth”.
