Google's Artificial Neural Network is being used to make Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas even more fearful, and for that, we thank the creators for new dog anxieties. And the U.S. Navy teamed up to produce the first wave generated power machine that basically looks like a bulky buoy.

Switzerland's EPFL space agency realized its old cubesats were cluttering up space so it came up with a hungry hippo of a satellite that should start gobbling up its smaller kin by 2018. And an architect hacked a 3D printer with LEDs and is creating beautiful paintings with light.

Fuel for flying cars, perhaps?

We're also including a great video of a ramen-making machine that has optional drone delivery; at which point we call bulls**t.

If you're like me, there's never enough time to read the things I saved to Pocket, catch up on cat memes and peruse all those shade throwin' campaign tweets. Some social media platforms I've had to straight give up on, despite having a Snapchat friend who creates marvelous fruit headdresses with the paint function. There's just not enough time for all my connected interests and I know I'm not alone.
