I am pleasantly horrified by these ‘wet unboxing’ videos

Thankfully, the cultural peak of the unboxing video has come and gone. Do you really want to watch another person open a new iPhone or a box from Glossier? But there’s still room for riffs on the genre — for example, these profoundly disturbing “wet unboxing” clips from artist Alex Frost.
Each video shows Frost opening up a package of some kind underwater. The stuff, whatever it is, oozes into the water, usually turning it gray and filling it with weird flakes. It’s absolutely nauseating. I can’t stop watching. Read more…

The Art of Plating Instagram will make you fall in love with tweezer food again.
For those unfamiliar with the term: tweezer food is a term — typically laced with vitriol by critics — used to refer to food that appears meticulously plated, often by tweezers, to create elaborate effects.
In 2012, the Guardian argued that tweezers used to garnish food is excessive and superfluous. And in 2015, Thrillist suggested that “the whole tweezer thing” ought to be retired for good. The general perception of tweezer food is that it’s over the top, laughable, pretentious, and is in no way an indication of a delicious meal. Read more…

The Notes app: Where our weirdest, purest selves reside

Open up your Notes app. Take a quick scroll. Not 100% sure what’s going on there, are you?
For the most part, we don’t compose Notes with an audience in mind. In fact, we assume that no one but us (if we remember to look) will ever see them again. The result is a surprisingly authentic account of what we’ve been up to, what we’ve seen, what we want to remember — a stupidly earnest, unintentional diary.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is here to warn us about unsafe products and best practices when using certain products. And, it seems, to also keep us entertained with some of the weirdest meme-filled tweets of any government agency.
Most recently the account has received attention in the past for its unusual approach to education and recently got the attention of unfamiliar users with a single-word tweet.
Horses.

An ode to the Instagram account that shames our terrible but lovable cats

Oh, cats.
Please don’t come after me for saying this, but cats are terrible pets. They’re mischievous monsters that will completely ignore the perfectly good toys you buy in favor of shredding every piece of furniture in your home. They’ll have no interest in being pet at a reasonable hour, but will wake you up in the middle of the night for a chin scratch. They’ll leave the worst gifts for you as a token of their affection — dead mice, pieces of centipedes, and socks you thought you lost forever.
But despite how awful they can be, they’re so freaking adorable. Read more…

Many of you have probably thrown on Netflix’s delightful three-episode fireplace series, Fireplace for Your Home, to cultivate a cozy aura around the holidays.
This is a great idea — for apartment-dwellers like myself, nothing says wintertime relaxation like a pungent, fir-scented Yankee Candle and a crackling, roaring fake fire on my television screen. It gives me a pleasant feeling of cocooned solitude, like I’m in a cabin filled with Pendleton blankets and no one can reach me by phone or email. The dream. Read more…
