48 - Top 10 Incredible REAL LIFE MacGyver Moments That Saved Lives Sep 17, 2019

Show notes

Fictional secret agent Angus MacGyver, featured on an American TV series that ran from 1985-1992, had unparalleled ingenuity. MacGyver used everyday objects to create complex solutions to overcome obstacles and prevail in life-or-death situations, saving his life (and sometimes the world) with his quick engineering hacks. MacGyver’s ability to perform extraordinary feats with ordinary objects may seem far-fetched. However, ingenious improvised solutions to life-threatening problems are not merely the province of TV. Below are 10 real-life examples of people who had a “MacGyver moment,” thinking quickly and devising surprising solutions to save lives. Disappointingly, with fewer rubber bands and paper clips than we’d hoped.

Show notes

What is the most reliable source of beauty in photography? If you believe Instagram users and what they upload, then apparently it’s good meals.

Epic vistas, gorgeous arrays of color, dramatic situations of life and death, all there waiting for the camera person determined or lucky enough to find it.

Show notes

Many of us often joke about restaurant employees spitting in our food, or giving us a product that’ll lead to projectile vomiting and extended bathroom breaks, but we tend not to think too much about it most of the time because it can be rather worrying. However, it is important sometimes to know what may be done to your food, and how the industry is dealing with the current issues they face from disgruntled employees, and a culture of speed that makes following proper health procedures difficult. If your New Year’s resolution is to drop a few pounds, maybe this list will help you avoid ordering that next Big Mac.

45 - Top 10 HORRIFYING Acts of Chemical Warfare and Gas Attacks Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

In this age of terror, there might be nothing more terrifying than the thought of an attack carried out with chemical weapons. We’ve all heard the horrific stories of soldiers being gassed in WWI, and the idea that it could happen in the here and now is blood-chilling.

44 - Top 10 Horrible Weapons That Are Still in Use Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

Today we’re going to talk about weapons which have been developed over the years and can only be described as being invented by heartless maniacs, bent solely on human suffering. These weapons are off course very effective in what they do, and this is probably why they were designed in the first place. Nevertheless, the power some of these weapons have and the suffering they bring can’t even come close to justifying using them. Many are in the process of being banned or have active campaigns to outlaw them. Some have even become part of our everyday life and we don’t even notice them anymore. Here are just a few…

43 - Top 10 Fictional Presidents Way Better For America than Trump or Clinton Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

Given my status as an outsider to the American political system (I’m British, baby), I am in a fairly unique position amongst the writers of this site in that I have no real stake in who becomes President next year. Which means I can do something no American writer can: Dump all over candidates from both sides of the political spectrum instead of just the side I personally don’t like. However, rather than mocking the current presidential candidates’ policies or faces, I’m going to compare them to these 10 fictional Presidents way cooler than they could ever hope to be, presidents like…

42 - Top 10 Fetishes You Wont Believe Sep 14, 2019

Show notes

Rule 34 states that if you can imagine it, there’s porn of it on the internet. But simple imagination has nothing on the bizarre realities of sexual experience.

Well, guess what? Today is your lucky day!

41 - Top 10 Fascinating Attempts at Creating PERPETUAL MOTION Machine Sep 14, 2019

Show notes

A perpetual motion machine is a machine that, once it’s started, won’t stop and doesn’t need any additional energy to keep going. That means the machine could be used as a source of unlimited free energy. Which is great, so why don’t we just make one? Well, it isn’t because of some conspiracy theory by the energy sector. The reason none have ever been built is because they’re actually impossible to build since perpetual motion breaks the first two laws of thermodynamics. The first law is that energy is constant; it cannot be created or destroyed. The second is that entropy will either increase or remain the same. Essentially, you can never get a greater output of energy than inputted and energy will always decrease over time.
