A Visayan warty pig (pictured above) in captivity in Paris uses a stick to dig out a small nest for its piglets
07 oct 2019 16:10

An ecologist at a zoo in Paris has documented the first ever instance of Visayan warty pigs using tools. Every six months, the endangered species dig out shallow nests in the first to prepare for the birth of piglets, typically by burrowing with their snouts. At the Musée de l'Homme, a museum of anthropology in the heart of the French capital, a researcher saw one of the pigs take a stick in its mouth and began using it as a shovel to scrape out a nest.

Here’s How Knitting Was Used As A Tool To Spy On Enemies During Wartime
29 jul 2019 14:14

It may come as a surprise, but knitting and war have a lot more in common than one may think. In many countries including the United States, wartime has almost always involved knitters. Back in the day, women were encouraged to support troops from home by knitting socks and hats for them. However, even though knitting has been always associated with an innocent hobby of older ladies, during conflicts, it became much more than that.

Advocacy groups have been putting the pressure on Starbucks for years to block explicit content on its free, public WiFi
30 nov 2018 14:23

Starbucks says it will finally launch a content-blocking tool to prevent customers from watching pornography in its stores. The firm plans to roll out the filter by 2019 – nearly three years after it initially vowed to do so, and long after other chains including McDonalds, Subway, and Chick-fil-A made the move. Starbucks has so-far remained tight-lipped on the solution itself, and how it will weed out offensive content from acceptable material.

I Reimagined Ordinary Kitchen Tools As Star Wars Characters
30 aug 2018 12:07

My name is Kristián Mensa and I am a 20-year-old artist from Prague. I love to play with simple and everyday objects just to prove that inspiration is all around us. While I was waiting for a water to boil I've decided to go through my kitchen tools and turn them into some of the Star Wars characters (but shh... I've never seen the movie though).
