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.

— Kosher. Vegan friendly. —

Disclaimer for idiots: Don’t eat it.

Shared: RSA Shorts – The Power of Quiet

RSA Shorts – The Power of Quiet by theRSAorg:

The world is full of noise and those that are the loudest are the ones we tend to follow but what about the quiet ones?

Author Susan Cain shines a spotlight on introverts and reveals how over time our society has come to look to extroverts as leaders. Not suggesting that one is better than the other, Susan argues that the world needs an equal space between introverts and extroverts; that an innovative, creative world wouldn’t be the same without the two coming together.

Speaker: Susan Cain

Artist: Molly Crabapple
Director: Jim Batt
Production Coordinator: Kim Boekbinder

Rufus Tower by billybrowne:

A present for my cat ‘Rufus’. He began to resent me due to painful ear drops to fix an infection. I would return from work and he would run from me! Now the ears are better I wanted to do something to show my gratitude for his putting up with my torture. Rufus loves boxes as all cats do so this is what I made for him. The music is from my brother Ollie’s band, ‘Parallel Lions’, I hope you don’t mind me using it bro. Enjoy. (here is a link to the music parallellions.bandcamp.com)
