Know for a fact that there are going to be at least four emails that will feel excruciatingly imminent and demanding an immediate reply, and so go to your email account and be surprised/ delighted/ horrified by the fact that there are 16 new emails, none of which are spam.

That’s right dudes. According to the Boston FOX affiliate, German doctors are now recommending that men stare at breasts at least 10 minutes a day! Yes – somehow some German scientists controlled a group of men for five years, directing them to never look at boobs or “ogle them daily,” and they found that the pervs that openly undressed women with their eyes on a daily basis were way, way healthier!

Remember that guy? The guy who was cross country skiing through Prospect Park in the blizzard two months ago and found a lost roll of film, developed it, and set out on a YouTube driven adventure to find the roll’s owners? Well – he found them, and documented his trip all the way to Europe to return the roll to its owners. Video inside.

It is no secret that Google and Facebook – the two websites that are quickly becoming what I think the collective psyche is beginning to treat simply as ‘the internet’ – use algorithms to determine how relevant content is to individual users. But at this year’s TED conference, MoveOn.org executive director Eli Pariser pointed out some unfortunate side effects to such personalized content streams.

Ten years after the World Trade Center attacks in New York City, new arial, close-up footage of the event has emerged on YouTube. Posted on Sunday, the 17-minute video shows the aftermath of the collisions shot from a police helicopter surveying the scene, including the oh-shit moment – and the subsequent onlooker reactions – of the first tower’s collapse. Video inside.

The Creators Project – an organization committed to supporting artists on the front lines of creative expression via digital technology – recently brought Interpol on as the newest addition to their studio, and had the chance to go in-depth with the band about their aesthetic, ideas behind their latest self-titled album, and more.

But, you’re somewhat normal – like, you’re socially adept enough to talk to people – and so you begin to interact, but unless the conversation offered to you is incredibly engaging, you actually just start to focus on shit like the way the person’s mouth moves, or like, if for example the person sounds like she has dry mouth and needs to swallow some more beer or something.

This just in from New York City – a 24 year-old camgirl therapist has recently revealed ‘Naked Therapy,’ and it’s getting really popular. With dudes. Yep – Sarah White, a student at an unnamed university who’s apparently doing her thesis on Naked Therapy, is offering $150 webcam sessions in which she strips while you tell her all about your existential woes.

Whether or not this personal history reflects a large majority’s personal history, owning a Dell and being culturally advanced/ cool today is, in any capacity, kind of like being sincerely into fashion but buying all your clothes at Walmart (for example). I think in fact that owning anything but a laptop made by Apple has almost reached the point of unseemliness or shameful behavior.

Time to bliss out on Vimeo user Timo’s visualization of what all those WiFi signals actually look like in urban spaces. Pretty nice! Video after the jump.

Comment that this piece has a sentence fragment, and as such, is, well, stupid, and should be considered as such, because anything containing a grammatical error is undeniably, objectively bad.

Do you believe that a terrorist attack is imminent? How nervous do you feel on the subway? Flying? Are you afraid of North Korea? Ask yourself: Am I really afraid of North Korea? This is important information to know. Because generalized, doomsday fear of an entire country is pretty stressful and unmanagable and… neverending. Because, like, how could you realistically manage that fear? I guess you could go to war.

But the position you’ve accepted is “Content Manager” and in actuality you’ll be writing articles on real estate and educational resources for first-time homebuyers at a startup absolutely filled with business casual Web 2.0 enthusiasts who ‘get’ the internet. This is, of course, incredibly far off from what you really want to be doing (a novelist)…

Well, this came about two years too late, if you want to get technical (the whole hipster bashing thing was hot when Hipster Runoff was new and interesting, not to mention the significant amount ‘Hipster Bingo’ memes that circulated during the ‘golden age’ of hipster hate) – BUT, at least the dude did it, and he’s making money off it. Check out the cards inside.

Today Vice covered a Tumblr called ‘deathrainbows’ that apparently showcases images that its creator – “Wyatt W.” – imagines death will ‘look like’… literally. Check them out after the jump.

I’m having problems having sex with my girlfriend, and they seem really emotionally complicated, but I’m too embarrassed to ask any of my friends for help, or go to a shrink. I feel so much shame surrounding my inability to perform in bed. I feel like if I told anyone they would think I was a shithead. What should I do?

Perhaps none of them had their coffee that morning? Watch the awkwardness reach a crescendo then spiral out of control after the jump.

Unfortunately – against his wishes – the whole world now knows who he likes (the video, posted last March, has almost 500k pageviews), but whatever. Time to gush. Video after the jump.
