10 biggest internet security fails of all time From Kurt Eichenwald's eternal association with tentacle porn to simply asking celebs for their PWs so you can download their nudes, and everything in between.
Technology has brought many positive changes to our world, but it also means millions of people at a time have their sensitive and personal data leaked – a story by now so common that we’ve all been desensitized to it. In fact, if you go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and type in an email address you’ve used for many years, chances are it’ll show you your account has been part of a leak somewhere. It’s practically inevitable and basic internet security now means you should never tie any data point – on any service – to a public email address unless you want the entire world to eventually know it. PS. If…

46 things I learned from being gulaged Varlam Shalamov spent much of the period from 1937 to 1951 gulaged in the arctic cold of Kolyma. These are the 46 things he learned from the experience.
Varlam Tikhonovich Shalamov (June 18, 1907 – January 17, 1982) was a Russian writer, journalist, poet and Gulag survivor. He spent 15 years enslaved in Soviet gulags — six of them in the gold mines in the bitter arctic cold of Kolyma — due in part to having supported Leon Trotsky and praised the anti-Soviet writer Ivan Bunin. One of Shalamov’s surviving writings is a 1961 list of 46 things he learned from his gulag experience. You will benefit the most from it by already knowing the basics about these slave camps which worked many inmates to death (and in some cases even forced the slaves to eat each other),…

10 cathartic ways to quit your shitty job (that people have actually pulled off) Sometimes your typical two weeks notice just won't do...
Many people fantasize about creative ways to quit their jobs in a way that humiliate their horrible workplace and/or boss, and the theme has been the subject of great cult classic movies like Office Space.

Still, you know as well as I do they won’t ever actually take that fantasy to real life. You want to keep that reference as clean as possible after all. Here are 15 people who actually did epically quit. Resigning in…

6 mental ways to have sex like an ancient Roman Age-old inspiration to put chariots of fire in your loins and give your erection a new direction.
Many current health trends take their cues from times long gone by: the Paleo Diet, for example, prescribes meals that mimic the foodstuffs chomped on by our caveman ancestors. It works on the premise that humans are genetically adapted to best digest only the types of grub that would have been available to Stone Age hunter-gatherers, so if you want your abs to look more ‘washboard’ and less ‘washed up’, you should avoid modern munchies like wheat and dairy. Then there’s the 300 Workout, an exercise plan designed to transform your figure into a mass of muscle that roars ‘Ripped Spartan Soldier from Ancient Greece,’ rather than flabbily gargling ‘Nipped…

10 reasons to believe alien life really exists The mindboggling scale of the universe represents gazillions of lottery tickets for alien life, but here's the evidence and arguments so far.
The search for extraterrestrial life begins with a simple assumption: if intelligent life exists, then these beings must leave behind clues to their existence that would be recognizable to us. For example, to a space-faring alien, a tell-tale sign of intelligent life existing on Earth could be that there are trace periodic elements present that can only form from nuclear fission. Fission is not generally known to occur naturally except under specific conditions, so it is logical that there is an unnatural explanation. “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” With this in mind, we count down the top reasons to believe that…

This family in China lives with 11 sex dolls. The father and son are less interested in having sex with the dolls than they are in taking the lifelike doll on real dates and modeling them for photo shoots.

Chinese police cage, interrogate man for criticizing traffic cops online "Uncle Police, I'm so sorry, I'm wrong."
A viral video from China shows a man in a strange Thomas the Train like cage being interrogated by police. According to the translation, the caged man, who says his name is Luhua, is remorseful for WeChat group comments where he criticized traffic cops for confiscating motorcycles. “Uncle Police, I’m so sorry, I’m wrong,” Luhua pleads with the police officers, who demand information on the WeChat group and a grovelling apology. He repeatedly excuses the crime by claiming he was drunk, and he probably ended up getting off with a fine and a light beating. The video is a helpful reminder that freedom of speech is a radical concept and…

Russian cows are living in virtual reality to produce more milk The Matrix is preferable to Russia, according to the cows' measured stress levels.
Farmers in the Moscow region have fitted their cows with virtual reality headsets to see if it helps them produce more milk, The Moscow Times reports. “Experts noted reduced anxiety and improved overall emotional mood in the herd” during the VR experiment, said the agriculture administration for the region. Citing Dutch and Scottish research suggesting that a calming atmosphere increases dairy production, it said that milk production is what is now being studied during the second phase of the experiment. It also said that some Russian farmers are already playing classical music to their cows to achieve a similar “positive effect on milk flow.” The virtual reality the cows are…
