If you’ve ever tried shrooms, prepare for flashbacks

In the world of fractals, the Mandelbrot Set is a stunning geometrical shape that results when you take a particular equation and apply it to a number, and then to the result, and then to each subsequent result after, ad infinitum. But what happens when you go from two dimensions to three? You get a “Mandelbulb.” And if you want to see how such a shape evolves over time, check out this stunning computer animation of a Mandelbulb modeling the movement of 250,000,000 particles.

Fantastically Surreal: The Best of Haiku_Robot

Haiku_Robot automatically takes reddit comments that are the right number of syllables and turns them into haiku.

I want a fucking 
shoulder turkey. I would name 
him Shoulder Turkey.

That letter means the 
prosthetic leg is working
 and doing its job

Maybe they should pray
 for the person praying for
 snow to stop praying.

Is it Lenin-corpse-
cleaning season already?!?!?  
Where does the time go....

My dad is spending 
fathers day in the backyard. 
Tanning. In a thong.

They call them fingers, 
but you never see them fing.  
Oh wait, there they go.

Open the door, get 
on the floor, everybody 
fuck the dinosaur.

Wow that's so cool, good 
thing someone caught this footage 
on their potato.

This is the Green Lake in Tragoess, Styria, which sits at the foot of snow-capped Hochschwab mountains. Throughout the frozen winter months the area is almost completely dry and is used as a county park. It is a particular favourite site for hikers.  But as soon as the temperatures begin to rise in spring, the ice and snow on the mountaintops begins to melt and runs down into the basin of land below.  The park fills up with ice-cold crystal clear water, which gets its distinctive green colouring from the grass and foliage beneath. The water levels rise from about one or two metres deep in the winter to as much as 10 metres in the late spring and early summer. The waters are at their highest in June when it becomes a mecca for divers keen to explore the rare phenomenon, before the waters recede at the end of July.
