The Bullshit Department @thebullshitdept - Tumblr Blog

The Department of Delicious Deception should know better than to try to eat wooden food, but the work of Japanese wood sculptor Seiji Kawasaki is so awesomely realistic, we just know they’re going to take a nibble at the earliest opportunity. Just look at these croissants, so flaky and buttery:

But they aren’t flaky, buttery pastries at all. They’re blocks of wood, hand-carved to the tiniest detail and painstakingly painted by Kawasaki. Each piece takes 2-3 hours to complete, some of which aren’t simply decorative. These red peppers, for example, function as chopstick rests:

Follow Seiji Kawasaki on Facebook or Twitter for many more photos of his astonishingly realistic woodcarving.

The coolest part from today’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild stream ⊟

If you didn’t have all afternoon to spend watching Nintendo’s Treehouse E3 livestream, you missed a lot of fun moments – like shirtless Link shivering in a frozen tundra, shield surfing down snowy mountains, a Shadow of the Colossus-esque mini-boss battle, or any minute of Chiko’s entertaining romp through the Great Plateau region, devastating the local Bokoblin populace.

What you don’t have to miss, though, was this rad sequence of Link taking down a Guardian. So dope. Breath of the Wild hits Wii U and NX in 2017!

It’s been years since we last attended a good cockroach funeral. On December 3, 2015 a professor at Texas A&M University noticed that a dead cockroach he’d been passing in the hall for weeks suddenly had a little shrine:

“There has been a dead cockroach in the Anthropology building’s stairwell for at least two weeks.. Some enterprising person has now made her a little shrine.”

This ex-cockroach was no longer an anonymous dead bug. She was Rosie the Roach and people had begun to formally mourn her passing. As the days passed, more offerings and remembrances were left and Rosie’s shrine steadily grew:

“There is a candle now and a little coffin for the carcass… And for the record, I had nothing to do with the genesis of this memorial. Somebody built a funeral pyre.”

Eventually a notice was posted above Rosie announcing a formal wake and funeral service. On December 17th, more than two weeks since her shrine was first built and over a month since she’d died, Rosie the Roach was taken outside in her pyre and cremated.

South African designer Porky Hefer created an awesome series of animal-themed nest chairs for Design Miami 2015. Entitled Monstera Deliciosa, the series includes a chair saped like an orca with a furry pink tongue and leather teeth, an anglerfish with a functional light serving as its lure, a pelican with a brown leather beak, a pufferfish, and a crocodile.

Each of the chairs, described as “nest environments,” was made using traditional South African skills, including splicing different fibers together, stitching, and weaving.

Hefer describes his new project:

“My pieces get people to think about nature, and its fragility, and make them consider how to protect it. They’re also about protecting local crafts so that these traditions don’t die out.”

Head over to Dezeen for additional photos and to learn more about the marvelously monstrous hanging chairs.

The Sun is big, so incredibly huge that it’s hard to comprehend in relatable terms. That’s why we love this model, which was shared earlier this year by Mike Whitmore. The clear sphere represents the sun and all those tiny blue balls represent how many earths could fit inside of it. The answer is 1.3 million. 1,300,000 copies of this pale blue planet we’re currently living on could fit inside the sun. So awesome.

A friendly reminder

We are standing on that small blue dot right now, amid a monstrous vacuum, held by a thin layer of air, having as closest neighbor the ridiculously tiny rock over there, hundreds of thousands of miles away. YOUR PROBLEMS WILL NEVER BE BIG ENOUGH. Have a nice day <3
