Dishwashers have been used for one general purpose for a long time now. But people who grew bored of the appliance only accomplishing one task have found a genius way of utilizing it for even more. Enter: dishwasher cooking. Yes, it sounds gross and soapy and not very healthy, but if you do it correctly, you can prepare some delicious meals in the dishwasher while your plates and utensils get clean, too! What you need to do in order for this to work is place your food in an air-tight container. Turn the dishwasher on its highest setting and it’ll do the work for you! The hot water rushing around the containers means that everything from vegetables to seafood and even poultry is cooked evenly! Unbelievable! Yes, you can even cook lobster in the dishwasher. To see a complete instructional guide on how to cook in the dishwasher, watch this video. (via Daily Edge) If you are looking for some recipes for dishwasher cooking, click on this link. It has quite a few options. If you’re feeling adventurous, try to make up your own! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/dishwasher-cooking/
This new political ad from Priorities USA Action, an Obama-affiliated Super PAC, may be the most brutal ad yet from the 2012 presidential election. Called “Understands,” the ad features the story of Joe Soptic, who claims he lost his job after Bain Capital, the financial services company for which Mitt Romney once served as CEO, shut down a plant where he worked. Soptic lost his health insurance along with his job, meaning he couldn’t pay for his wife’s treatment when she was diagnosed with cancer. Soptic’s wife died as he stood by, helpless. The seemingly implied message of the ad: Mitt Romney indirectly killed Soptic’s wife. Yikes. That implication aside, the factual foundation of the ad is built on tenuous ground. As the Washington Post pointed out on Tuesday, Mitt Romney had left Bain Capital before Soptic’s plant closed. A representative of Priorities USA Action also told the Washington Post that “this is another in a series of ads that demonstrates how long it took for communities and individuals to recover from the closing of these businesses.” Is this ad on target, or does it go too far? Share your thoughts in the comments. YouTube’s 10 Most-Shared Ads in July 1. DC Shoes: Ken Block’s Gymkhana Five: Ultimate Urban Playground, San Francisco The most-shared ad of July is a riveting, white-knuckle adrenaline ride through the streets of San Francisco. Watching Ken Block rip and shred through turns is a pure delight for speed junkies and gearheads. Anyone who winces at car crashes in movies – this is not for you. But good luck looking away. 2. Sesame Street: Share It Maybe We all knew this was coming right? It makes perfect sense that the Cookie Monster would spoof Carly Rae Jepsen’s song “Call Me Maybe” and turn it into a plea for you to share your cookies with him. We just have one suggestion. In the words of the immortal Randy Jackson, “I’m not sure about your tone dawg. It seems just a little bit off to me. Otherwise, I’m totally diggin’ it!” 3. Abercrombie Models Sing “Call Me Maybe” While Shirtless Supposedly this is a video created by the controversial store’s models and employees themselves. From the description: “To celebrate the song’s Summer popularity, A&F asked its hottest guys from its Flagship stores all around the world to have fun with the song — film it on their phones and to do whatever came naturally… This is what the guys sent back!” Regardless of who created it, it’s being shared like crazy. It’s got virtually the same recipe as the number two video so it makes complete sense to us. 4. Som Sabadell Flash Mob Flash Mobs still light up the charts on share counts. Banco Sabadell chose to celebrate its 130-year anniversary by arranging one of their own with some truly talented musicians and singers. The little girl conducting from the lightpost is one of the best visual moments, but it seems like a lot of the people […]
We could hear Toto’s “Africa” played 100 different ways and it’d still never get old. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/trying-all-the-sounds-and-beats-on-a-synth-while-only-playing-totos-africa/
Rambro (also known as the Angry Ram) didn’t deserve to be left out of Halloween festivities this week. To include the angry guy in the holiday, Rambro’s owner took a pumpkin and stuffed it full of tasty sheep nuts. The outcome was pretty much a Halloween themed piñata for grumpy old Rambro. We could call it a pumpkiñata! (Source: Buddhanz1) This looked like oodles of fun. I loved it when the pumpkin fell after the slow-mo butt tap, rather than the 40 juggernaut-style head smashes.

Never afraid to explore the power of web technologies, Grammy-winning rock band Arcade Fire unleashed an interactive music video for “Reflektor.” The video is an open-source Google Chrome experiment that lets viewers use a computer mouse, phone or tablet to toy with the video’s graphics or incorporate their faces into it. People can play with the flashy video effects in the Chrome experiment or on this explanatory website. Director Vincent Morisset filmed the footage in Haiti. The video follows “a young woman who travels between her world and our own.” Two of Arcade Fire’s previous videos used code, as well: 2010’s “We Used to Wait” took your childhood home address, and personalized the experience with Google Maps, while 2011’s “Sprawl II” again tasked viewers to direct by using a webcam or mouse. Here are some details about the web tech used for “Reflektor”: Arcade Fire also released this entirely different, non-interactive version of “Reflektor”: Image: JustaReflektor Read more: http://mashable.com/2013/09/09/arcade-fire-reflektor-video/
As all parents know, kids are very fussy about what they eat. And they aren’t shy about letting Mom and Dad know that they aren’t pleased with their meals. Even babies can convey what foods they do and don’t like with the expressions on their faces — and it’s pretty entertaining. Watching their little mouths either beaming or scrunching up in disgust at certain tastes is both adorable and hilarious. That’s why we’re sharing a few of the funniest reactions these cuties have had to foods they definitely don’t prefer. 1. This little guy will pass on the applesauce, thanks. 2. Tell me how you really feel, sweetheart. 3. “Not the peas! Anything but the peas!” <div class="llcust" data-lltype="video" id="ll_59dc2b6b90553" data-source=" <div class="llcust" data-lltype="video" id="ll_59dc2b6b906d3" data-source=" <div class="llcust" data-lltype="video" id="ll_59dc2b6b90851" data-source=" Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/babies-hating-food/

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); Hero is normally a very quiet dog, so when he started whining incessantly one day, his owner knew something was very wrong. Four-year-old Sadie has type one diabetes and Down syndrome, which makes it quite difficult for her parents to monitor the little girl’s blood sugar levels. That’s where Hero comes in. The service dog has been specially trained to detect decreases in blood sugar. While many dogs have been trained to help diabetics in the same way, what Hero did one day is almost beyond comprehension. Little Sadie was at school five miles away from her home when Hero suddenly started whining to no end. Knowing something was wrong, her mom decided to call the school and ask them to check Sadie’s blood sugar. Everything looked fine at first, but within a half hour, it had dropped from 122 to 82. Hero somehow sensed what was wrong from miles away! Hero thoroughly deserves his name. If Sadie’s blood sugar had dropped any lower, she could have slipped into a diabetic coma. Service animals are so incredible at what they do, and their dedication is absolutely unmatched. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/blood-sugar-dog/
Melissa McCarthy is one of my favorite comedians. She’s a real treasure, and I often go into her movies not knowing if I’ll like them, but I’m charmed every time. It turns out, she’s just as funny in interviews, too. During a recent visit to The Ellen Show, she started off by talking about how she had just adopted two dogs and what she’d learned about them so far. She says it’s like “living with models.” Can you guess which breed of dog she adopted? Find out in the video below. Youtube / The Ellen Show Regardless of how intelligent those pups are, I think we can all agree that they’re pretty darn cute. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/supermodel-dogs/
This week, horror lovers and Stephen King diehards alike will finally get to see the scary movie “It” after months of restless anticipation. While those of us in the U.S. will have to wait until September 8 to see Bill Skarsgård’s take on Pennywise the Dancing Clown, residents of Sydney, Australia, have already been stumbling across unsettling signs of the terrifying monster. If you’re familiar with the movie or the book it’s based on, you know that Pennywise has a penchant for red balloons, as shown in the trailer below. And lately, people in Sydney have been finding them tied to sewer grates… Twitter Thomasgskinner …paired with the message, “It is closer than you think.” Twitter / DianaDJ7 <div class="llcust" data-lltype="media" id="ll_59b1fc6b305b1" data-source=" It’s all part of a seriously clever (and creepy) promotion for the upcoming film’s release.
