We are truly living in the golden age of human innovation. 

Practical engineer and YouTuber Emiel Noorlander built a hands-free Oreo dispenser from scratch. The user simply has to place their chin at the dispenser, and it’ll send a perfect Oreo straight into their mouth. 

Cutting the wood precisely so it interlocks, Noorlander manages to create a dispenser complete with moving parts. Once he paints it, he mounts it by his workstation so he can snack hands-free. 

It’s brilliant, but where does the milk go? Read more…

A Keurig has the ability to unite people — they’re the one thing that poor college students, adults, and hotel continental breakfasts agree on.

Okay, they’re not the most decked-out DIY coffee and espresso maker you can get — but they’re small enough to fit on the tiniest counters, are just plain simple, and work with pods from over 75 brands including Starbucks and Folgers. Plus that low price? What’s not to love? 

(If you’re into the fancy devices, you’ll be happy to know that you can save up to 60% on Nespresso machines at Macy’s.)

Here are some of the best Cyber Monday Keurig deals at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart: Read more…

Clearly, both Walmart and Amazon are well aware of the stress that comes with all the entertaining around this time of year because they are coming in clutch for Cyber Monday with SO many deals on vacuum cleaners—but not just any vacuum cleaners: We’re talking Dysons. 

Safe to say Dyson doesn’t get its top-notch reputation from doing a lackluster job in the cleaning department. Whether you’re in the market for a cordless vacuum, upright, multi-floor or combination vacuum—Dyson products are pretty much a sure thing when it comes to getting the job done. And with all the shopping and planning you’ll be doing around the holidays, the last thing you need to worry about is picking the right vacuum to catch all the dust bunnies in the dining room you only use once a year.  Read more…

Ten years ago, Indiegogo launched the modern era of crowdfunding by creating a place where anyone could pitch their idea, product, or creative endeavor to the entire world, asking for the funds to make it reality. Today there are no shortage of crowdfunding sites, and even though Indiegogo isn’t as large as rival Kickstarter, it’s still tremendously influential, offering entrepreneurs not just a funding platform, but also support beyond their campaigns, with tools to ease the transition from concept to launch.

Indiegogo has always had a more worldwide audience than its peers, and now current CEO David Mandelbrot wants to take things further with more outreach to inventors in China as he leads the venture-funded company to profitability. Mandelbrot joined Mashable’s MashTalk podcast to talk about how crowdfunding has evolved since in the past decade, how the company approaches quality control, and what he thinks of Indiegogo’s “anything goes” reputation.

Most of us are just happy with a roommate who’s clean and pays rent on time.

Not this particular renter in London, whose fastidious list of demands for a future roommate has gone viral over the weekend. 

The requirements, posted by Twitter user @rxdazn, were originally sent to someone who wanted to check out the available room.

While some of the requests, like following a cleaning roster, are understandable, it’s fair to say most of the demands are asking quite a lot.  Read more…

Elon Musk has dismissed claims that humans moving to Mars is an “escape hatch for rich people.”

During an interview with Axios on HBO Sunday night, the SpaceX founder and CEO said he was “talking about moving there,” and that it’s 70 percent likely he’ll get there personally. Even though there’s a heightened risk of death.

Musk’s big Mars plans are no secret. In Sept. 2017, the 47-year-old billionaire announced his ambitious intention to get to Mars by 2022 — before preparing for a human crew in 2024. 

Musk backed up this timeline on Sunday, telling Axios that human trips to Mars would be possible in seven years time. Unsurprisingly, tickets to Mars ain’t gonna be cheap, priced at “around a couple hundred thousand dollars.” Read more…

As if to prove there’s no justice in the real world, Venom is on track to overpower two previous superhero box office titans — and possibly become one of the most profitable movies of its ilk.

After reaching $822 million in total global earnings over the weekend, Venom has eclipsed both Wonder Woman‘s $821 million and Spider-Man‘s $821 million. 

This might be cause for confusion and concern among superhero movie fans, since Venom received quite, uh, “mixed reviews” from critics and audiences alike.

Yet it’s still projected to become one of the most profitable big budget superhero movies yet after accounting for both its production budget and its gross earnings, according to Forbes. Read more…

Trump doesn’t understand most things, and that appears to include how giving thanks on Thanksgiving works.

While the rest of America spent the holiday expressing their gratitude for family, health, plentiful meals, loved ones, and a host of other blessings, the President seems to have confused the spirit of Thanksgiving with the opportunity for a #SelfLoveSunday post.

We all remember that one temporary childhood best friend who, for some reason or another, got away. Not many of us can say that the internet made it their personal mission to reunite us, though.

But such is the case for these 24-hour vacation besties, brought back together after twelve long years apart thanks to a viral Twitter post with 94,000 retweets (and counting).
