The list of 2015 Emmy nominations emphatically confirm something many have alluded to for a long time: the traditional network comedy is dying a slow death. With seven nominations given for Outstanding Comedy Series, only two series — ABC’s Modern Family and NBC’s Parks and Recreation — happen to air on one of the big three networks. In fact, the percentage of nominated comedies originating either from HBO, Amazon, Netflix, or traditional cable is higher than it’s ever been before.
With Parks and Recreation now over, Modern Family may soon be the only traditional network comedy left standing. Now admittedly, there are some great comedies currently on-air that weren’t nominated at all, with Fox’s New Girl and Brooklyn 99 being two prominent examples. Still, its hard to ignore that the smartest and most irreverent comedy these days tends to come from outlets like Comedy Central or from subscription services like HBO and Netflix.
So what happened?

Super Glue is great for quick fixes when you have to attach two pieces of plastic to each other, but there’s a new, more versatile tool out there that can handle a number of different jobs Super Glue just can’t handle. Meet Bondic, a futuristic bonding liquid that you can apply to a variety of materials to fuse them together. The cool part is that applying Bondic is only half of the process; after you squeeze Bondic onto a seam or between two objects, you have to cure it with the included UV light. Then, it hardens and forms a bond right before your eyes.
Bondic can fix broken glasses, charger cables, wood furniture or almost anything else you can think of. Check out the video below for a few demos, and beneath that you’ll find a link to purchase a Bondic kit good for 100 fixes for just $22 with free shipping.

If you were going to rob a convenience store, you’d probably want to do so with a weapon capable of intimidating the store clerk into handing over all the money in the register. A pair of recent would-be robbers in Pittsburgh thought that brandishing a big knife that measured in at over a foot long would be enough to do the trick… but they didn’t count on the store’s clerk having a massive scimitar of his own behind the counter.

Well Internet, you’ve done it again. The Red Bull sponsored video below features Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns freerunning and crafting incredible optical illusions in the process.
“Life as a freerunner means the whole world is your playground,” the video description reads, “or is it just one big illusion? Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns play tricks on your mind in this bizarre video as they defy gravity, slide down bananas, and twist our brains with their freerunning illusions.”
‘Bizarre’ is certainly an appropriate adjective here. You’ll be scratching your head more than once as you try, and inevitably fail, to figure out how some of these tricks were accomplished. Even the tricks that you can wrap your head around are still incredibly cool.
This is an exercise in creativity in the purest and coolest sense of the word.
