@amandatutschek by @meganeclaire   Celebrating the Bowl As an Unremarkable Object That Plays Witness to Our Lives Without question, the best kind of bowl is a decorative one. The kind that never sees action, yet remains persistently at attention, ready to receive at any moment's notice. Perhaps they’ll house a gaggle of gourds in the autumn. Or ornaments over the holidays. Give a decorative bowl a salute today. They’ve earned it.  Forgive. We’re all hyped up on bowls after watching this masterpiece.   Insanely High Paying Cash Back Cards With Unlimited Rewards [Partner]  Great unlimited cash back, no annual fee, and long intro APRs and balance transfer deals for cash back cards.  Start racking up rewards.   The Winterkeeper: A Lifetime Spent Protecting Yellowstone National Park We have only known one night-shift museum worker in our lifetime. And we don’t suspect we’ll make friends with another. We consider ourselves lucky for crossing paths with the one. Most never have the pleasure. Turns out, the worst part about museums is the other goers. In the hollowness of night, museums are unbeatable. This fellow is like a museum night-shift-er. Instead of night, it’s winter.  And instead of a museum, it’s Yellowstone.   The Science of How a Candle Burns We’re not proud to admit this, but in our youthful deviance, we would, on occasion, fill our big gulps with a splash of every soda available at the soft drink station. Where we grew up, this was called a “suicide.” We have a buddy who still feels this itch of youth. But he’s a fully-functioning adult (and father, we might add). So he scratches it by lighting every scent of candle in his house when the desire strikes.  This video’s for you, Josh.   How Pop-Tarts Became a $1 Billion Breakfast Icon Pop-Tarts are fun to eat and fun to say and fun to look at, and if you disagree, we assume you’re a generally mopey miserable person. It’s just a fact. Now, should they be a billion dollar breakfast icon? That’s debatable.  But here we are.   Throwback Facts About 80s Snacks The original sketch for the “bag of popcorn” design was a whole cob in the bag. Imagine. Tossing a whole cob, kernels attached and everything, into a brown paper bag with hunks of butter tossed in for good measure, and microwaving it, hoping for the best.  We would have loved being in that test kitchen.   The Mixer Humanity’s first flying vehicle on another planet. This massive new superyacht doubles as a submarine that can dive 820 feet underwater. Why dogs bark at nothing. Worcestershire sauce was invented by accident. Six reasons to believe in aliens. Color changing cars. These hot toddys with a twist. Why U.S. coins have ridges.     /GTFO @_lukasrichter | Allgäu     Our Gentleman's Agreement — We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
