Unique architecture and the way that things are made is so interesting to me. I love seeing interesting homes, and realizing that people actually live their day-to-day lives there. Some of these must have been a total pain to furnish- you can't really have a stunning house and then toss some IKEA furniture in it. The furniture has to be as one-of-a-kind as the house! These houses are architecturally fascinating, and must make for really good dinner party conversation.

Back in 1953 the BBC made a time-lapse of a train trip between London and Brighton. They recreated the film 30 years later, in 1983. Fast forward 30 years to 2013 and they’ve done it again. You can see all three time-lapses—spanning 60 years—in this side by side video.

Czech car manufacturer ŠKODA, best known for bringing us The Manliest Stroller EVAR, is back to jack up something new — an ice cream truck. Enter The World’s Biggest Ice Cream Van (EVAR!!!!), a 5 1/2 ton, 21 foot tall monster truck with 5 foot wheels that serves ice cream. Well this certainly beats the hell out of my neighborhood ice cream truck. A, it’s not even a truck, it’s just a van with all the seats taken out. B, they play Christmas music all year round. Do you know how it feels to hear Jingle Bells blasting over some shitty speakers while you’re sweating in your own apartment, but you’re too lazy to peel yourself off the sofa and go get an ice cream? Hell. It feels like hell. And a little bit like irony, but in the Alanis Morsette sort of way.

A few weeks ago I was perusing the Renegade Craft Fair and I came across ChaCha Covers. The shop sells nail decals, NOT blankets for your lady parts as I initially thought. They sell nail decals for every occasion. Pizza party? There’s pizza party nails. Jem and the Holograms marathon? ChaCha Covers has got you covered. Wearing a Marilyn Monroe costume? Marilyn Monroe didn’t wear her face on her nails but you totally can. Wu-Tang Clan blasting on your boombox? Oh they got Wu-Tang nails alright and Wu-Tang nails ain’t nuthing ta f*** wit. They even do custom stuff, so you can have any image on the decals. You know what I’m gonna get? A picture of nails on my nails. Nailception! Plus it’s because my nails are all kinds of ragged. I’m a biter!

Apparently I need to move to Belgium. They’ve got French Fry Vending Machines there! Here’s one in Chaussee de Gand-Steenweg op Gent in Brussels. For €2.50 the machine will make you fresh, crispy fries in less than 90 seconds. It also dispenses BONUS ketchup or mayo. Why can’t I have both?! Jk jk, this is no time to get greedy. This is a time to plan my move to Belgium. I can figure out the ketchup/mayo conundrum later. BRT Europe!

Everybody’s got a butt. Except Assless Steve who lost his in a horrific accident. Though some say it was not an accident — dun dun dun! But (BUTT!) conpiracy theories aside, Japan Trend Shop is selling Shiridashi Butt Reveal Underwear.

Either way, you’re showing off dat booty. And why shouldn’t you? It’s so nice! Jk, put that thing away, have you no decency? There are children present!

In his final semester of architecture school, graduate student Hank Butitta grew tired of completing conceptual projects that only existed on paper and decided to bring an assignment to life. With this drive, Butitta impulsively bought a school bus off of Craigslist for $3,000 with the intention of redesigning it into a mobile home for his final project. The idea gained traction and the support of professional architects and instructors, prompting the ambitious architect to actually transform the vehicle.

In an incredible display of adorable creativity, redditor ppaul9 wrote a children’s book about his relationship with his girlfriend in order to propose to her. After having it illustrated and printed, he worked with a covert photographer who stuck the book in the kids section of their local library and then waited behind some shelves to document the proposal. While they were on a date, the couple stopped at the library to return some books and check out some more for the girlfriend’s nieces and nephews. The boyfriend pulled out his book, told her it looked like a good one, and asked her to read it to him.
