Because the Samsung Galaxy S4 can sense when you're looking at it, Swisscom hilariously set up a challenge for people to stare at the phone for an hour. If you hit the 60 minute mark, you win a free Samsung Galaxy S4. If you get distracted, you don't get one. Easy? Not as easy as you think!

Watch a Scorpion Sting a Guy in Painful Slow Motion
May 31, 2:00AM
The beauty of slow motion is that it lets you see and analyze every detail of anything in a much more digestible package. Explosions become a dance, athletic achievements become more thoughtful, life becomes even more interesting and idiotic behavior gets more hilarious. Watching a guy get stung by a scorpion in slow motion? Yeah, that's hilarious.

May 31, 1:40AM
If we can agree on one thing, let's agree on this: 360° videos are unbelievably awesome because they completely immerse you into the video itself. Actually, video isn't even the right word for them because 360° videos fully capture everything around you, below you and above you—they're a recording of real life.

A Chandelier Light Bulb Is Unreasonably Adorable
May 31, 12:30AM
There are things that are adorable but make complete sense: babies, puppies, kittens, small phones, you get the point. Then there are things that are cute that make no sense: monkeys eating bananas, a ball of yarn and so on. A miniature chandelier would usually be sensibly cute. But putting that miniature chandelier in a light bulb? Boy, I don't know why I love this so much.

This Is How Iron Man 3 Should Have Ended
May 30, 11:30PM
Like, duh. If you have a lot of Iron Man suits, you use those Iron Man suits to blow things up. Especially bad guys. If you don't enjoy doing that, then don't be Iron Man! Go be Peace Corp Man instead.

May 30, 11:00PM
When was the last time you stepped inside a phone booth? Like an actual walled-up, door closing, clear porta-potty type booth to make telephone calls? Those fake stalls don't count! I really can't remember. Slacktory culled up various phone booth scenes in movies and reveals what we've always kind of known (and smelled) about phone booths: they are terrible places to be.

Postcards: A Much More Pleasant Way to Browse Tumblr
May 30, 10:00PM
The Tumblr app is, admittedly, a wonderfully designed one. And there's no denying it has more functionality than something like Postcards. But for those who use Tumblr more as a means of finding articles to read instead zipping through streams of GIFs, this might be exactly what you're looking for.

Nokia Lumia 928 Review: Flawed Beauty, Best Camera
May 30, 9:31PM
The nicest thing you can say about any gadget is that it changed the way you use that type of gear for the better. The 928 did that for me with smartphone cameras. It will for you, too, probably. It's just a shame that the phone it calls home doesn't live up to the design standards we're used to—especially from Nokia.

You don't joke about mining important maritime trade routes—Iran did and nearly started WWIII. And while America's fleet of MH-53E Sea Dragons and Avenger-class mine countermeasures ships are still quite effective, they're getting really, really old. Both platforms entered service in the mid-1980s and are quickly nearing their retirement dates. Here's what the Navy has in store for its future countermining operations.

May 30, 6:56PM
There are countless reasons to wear a digital watch: they don't need winding, they keep incredibly accurate time, and include a host of functions. And even good reasons not to wear a watch at all: smartphones. But watchmaker Maurice LaCroix makes a good case for still considering an analog timepiece with its Masterpiece Seconde Mysterieuse which includes a perplexing floating second hand looping around a smaller face.
