Shared: Cheetahs on the Edge–Director’s Cut

Cheetahs on the Edge–Director’s Cut by Gregory Wilson:

Cheetahs are the fastest runners on the planet. Combining the resources of National Geographic and the Cincinnati Zoo, and drawing on the skills of an incredible crew, we documented these amazing cats in a way that’s never been done before.

Using a Phantom camera filming at 1200 frames per second while zooming beside a sprinting cheetah, the team captured every nuance of the cat’s movement as it reached top speeds of 60+ miles per hour.

The extraordinary footage that follows is a compilation of multiple runs by five cheetahs during three days of filming.

JoJo’s Sriracha: Bringing More Hot Pepper Flavor To The Party by SkeeterNYC:

“Food is naturally different. So, I just really want to honor that variety and let the chili peppers do the talking.”

Meet Jolene Collins, the founder and artisan behind Jojo’s Sriracha in Brooklyn, NY. Jolene is obsessed with sriracha. She discovered the chili sauce at age 15, when, in a hunger frenzy, she coated her tuna sandwich and potato chips with the unfamiliar condiment. When she recounts the story, you can see she remembers it as if time stopped. It was a moment she’ll never forget. A moment that maybe, just maybe, foreshadowed her destiny.

So, enjoy Jolene’s spicy little story about the unlocked potential of the sriracha you know and, probably, love. She’ll have you convinced that her artisan sriracha, is so much more than the average cock sauce.

Thanks so much for supporting food. curated. and small artisans! Happy Eating!

Is YouTube Making Us Smarter? | Idea Channel | PBS by pbsideachannel:

Did you know there’s a place where you can learn just about anything you’d like? It’s true! It’s called YOU TUBE!!! Sure, YouTube has hundreds of thousands of hours of deliciously time-wasting content, but it’s a whole lot more than just a black hole of pet videos and FAIL clips. If you know where to go, YouTube has some of the best educational content on the planet! And although watching Kahn Academy all day might be a bit dry, the creativity of YouTube creators has allowed “education” to be transformed in variety of amazing and engaging ways. YouTube probably won’t replace schools anytime soon, but it’s a pretty rad alternative. So time to stop watching cat videos and get your learn on!

Shared: Bacon Mobius Strip

Bacon Mobius Strip by zell777:

Endless motherfucking bacon! 3D-printed, you can get your own print here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/735764/bacon_mobius_strip.html

A full color, delicious strip of bacon, twisted around itself, having only one side.

All the textures are raised and carved onto the surface, the colors are bright and clear, and the edges have a scrumptious wavy twist. The material is thin enough to be semi-translucent, and of undeniable baconness.
