Burger King | Whopper Neutrality

We'll just file this one under 'creative advertising'...

The repeal of Net Neutrality is a hot topic in America, but it can be very difficult to understand. That’s why the BURGER KING® brand created WHOPPER® Neutrality, a social experiment that explains the effects of the repeal of Net Neutrality by putting it in terms anyone can understand: A WHOPPER® sandwich.

This effort aims to help people understand how the repeal of Net Neutrality will impact their lives.

The BURGER KING® brand believes the Internet should be like the WHOPPER® sandwich: the same for everyone.

Ford Has Created A Trucker Hat To Wake Sleepy Drivers

Good for Ford! But you won't be needing these hats for those driverless trucks...
This cap could save a truck driver's life. SafeCap is designed to keep you awake and it was developed by Ford and Sao Paulo-based creative agency GTB. They're conducting research to tell the difference between attentive and non-attentive driving. The hat uses sensors and a gyroscope to sense head movements. If a driver starts dozing off, it'll wake them up with sound, light, and vibration. It's estimated that 250,000 Americans fall asleep while driving each day. Ford is interested in making the hat widely available, but first it'll need to undergo some additional testing.

I’m Not A Child, I’m 20 | BORN DIFFERENT

"My dream job is being a pediatric doctor in a year", she says confidently in that cute voice, "and I got 2 backup jobs just in case they don't work..."

A 20-YEAR-OLD woman has a rare genetic disease that means she is regularly mistaken for a child half her age. Michelle Kish, from Illinois, USA, was born was Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, a condition so rare that at the time of her birth there were only 250 known cases worldwide. Her symptoms include distinct round, childlike facial features and a form of dwarfism that means Michelle only comes up to just above her sister’s waist. But despite requiring round-the-clock medical care, Michelle has flourished into a warm, bubbly adult, who loves playing on her iPad and hanging out with her dog Piper. Michelle now dreams of following in her sister Sarah’s footsteps and finding a boyfriend - ideally a long-haired man who is in touch with his emotions.

CARNIVAL SCAM SCIENCE- and how to win

Prepare to drop some knowledge next time you visit the carnival.
 I collected data at the carnival for a full day.  Then I used that information to figure out which games are the biggest scams using science to analyze them and show you how to beat them.  I also figured out how much the carnival actually pays for the prizes so even if you win, you lose.  And then I visited the carnival with my professional baseball playing buddy to dominate all the games.  It worked well.

We're just loving how the uploader managed to capture the incident so superbly! Wait for it...

On New Year's Eve 2017, the bridge got another holiday feast, peeling the top off another Penske rental truck. The driver left the scene of the accident after a few Minutes and left the busted truck sitting there in the middle of a busy city road without hazard lights on or any attempt at securing the accident. Later, the Police had to extract the truck from under the bridge. Not sure what the deal was with that.

“Acne Doesn’t Make You Ugly" | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

She's beautiful! Good for her. Inspiring!...

A teenage girl uses social media to fight the stigma of acne by showing off her pimples rather than covering them up with heavy make-up. Since the age of 11, Hailey Wait, from Buena Vista, Colorado has been dealing with cystic acne – a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged underneath the skin leaving behind painful bumps. The 17-year-old decided she didn’t need to say sorry for how she looked and wanted to fight back by helping other young people struggling with their skin by posing pictures barefaced to “take one for the team.”

Energy saving auto dimming street lights

Cool! A five-mile stretch of road near Hole - just outside Oslo, Norway - uses hundreds of radars to detect cars, bikes and pedestrians...
At highway 155 in Nes i Hole, 220 radars have been installed on each light pole. They detect oncoming traffic and adjust the strength of the light. By doing this, the 9 km/5.5 mi stretch saves a whopping 2100 kWh per week. The extra investment will break even after just 4.5 years.

How an AK-47 Works

Fascinating! Even for those who have never fired a gun... ever! Fantastic animation explaining how a gun works...

A 3D animation created in Cinema 4D and After Effects showing how an AK-47 rifle works. Corona renderer was used in order to create realistic materials and reflections.
*Correction: The firing pin does NOT puncture the bullet primer. It just strikes it against the anvil, initiating the firing sequence.
