Why You Can't Stop Getting Online Ads For Stuff You Already Bought
It's
happened to all of us: You buy one random thing online, and all of a
sudden every ad on every website is trying to sell you more, more, more

following you. Stalking you. Like they're out. To. Get. You.

NASA Will Reformat Mars Rover's Flash Memory From 125 Million Miles Away
NASA's Opportunity rover is still trundling across the surface of Mars, more than 11 years after its 90 day mission began.

backup, memory wipe, and reboot. It's just like your routine computer
cleanup, just from the next planet over.
11 Reasons Email Is the Worst
Email is one of those things that's just a part of your life, period.
Most of us know someone who has closed their Facebook account or

their ego, and you might even know someone who is thrilled with
themselves for not owning a smartphone.

Airline Seats, iPhone 6, Viral Hoaxes, How We Watch Porn, and More

stories we wrote this week, in case you missed them while you were
workin' hard for the money.
Here's How Anatomically Impossible That Spider-Woman #1 Cover Is (NSFW?)
A few weeks ago, our pals over at io9 showed the Milo Manara cover illustration for Spider-Woman #1 in all its as(s)tounding opposite-of-majesty. Now, a Redditor did a 3D rendering to show just how ridiculous that pose is, from an anatomical standpoint. Some nudity and a lot of weirdness ahead.
The Weirdest, Angriest, and Most Heartfelt Comments on Net Neutrality
The
FCC currently has over a million comments on net neutrality. They range
from touching, to weird, to apocalyptically angry. We've plucked out a
few superlative comments to highlight here, but the FCC extended
deadline to September 15th so there's still time for you to send a profanity-laced response.
6 Simple Things Google's Self-Driving Car Still Can't Handle
Self-driving cars are most definitely the future. They have been for decades. For Google, that future isn't quite as close as you might think—as of right now, its autonomous vehicle would fail a driver's license test before it ever got out of the parking lot.
Awesome Home-Built Elysium Exoskeleton Lifts 170 Pounds Like Nothing
YouTuber The Hacksmith has been working on his Elysium-inspired
exoskeleton for a long time. Now it's finally paid off: The

This amazing starry sky is a cave full of glowworms in New Zealand
NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day features an amazing photo by Phill Round.
It looks like a frame from a Spielberg movie—an humanoid figure

alien world behind it. In reality, it's a man getting into New Zealand's Hollow Hill Cave.
I
live about 8 miles from the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center on the
grounds of Dulles International Airport. I was there when Discovery

World's Most Badass GoPro Doesn't Even Blink at Up-Close Rocket Testing
When it comes to punishing GoPros, Copenhagen Suborbitals
definitely takes the cake: The experimental rocket-building startup
mounted an action cam right in the line of (literal) fire during a
rocket test. Astoundingly, the thing survived. It's been to hell and
back, and it has the video to prove it.
Happy 30th Birthday to Discovery, NASA's Greatest Space Shuttle

voyage to space. It wasn't the first, but over the next 27 years it

These hyperrealistic paintings of lips are so erotic they should be NSFW
Sometimes you don't need to show much to turn people on. For me, it's the lips and the tongue (and kissing and the licking) that send me into hyperdrive. Hyperrealistic painter Hubert de Lartigue seems to share this fascination. His series of large scale lips paintings are amazing—and so erotic.
I think I can eat 12 of these pintxo burgers for breakfast right now
The Basque Country is the culinary center of the world. Not only for its many gastronomical temples—like Lasarte, Arzak, Zuberoa, or Azurmendi—but for the infinite amount of places where they prepare amazing plates—and pintxos. The Inglorious Basque-ard Burger is Pornburger's homage to the latter.
