@lexi_lou_thur by @umdevon   Why Does This Forest Look Like a Fingerprint? You know how it’s kind of fun to scrub through Google Maps satellite images? And you know how once you see something interesting, say a forest of trees that looks like a human fingerprint, you think about traveling abroad to see it IRL? Then, you actually do, only to find out there’s something deeper at play than just a funny looking forest.  No? Well, this reporter does.   Swap Your Sip: This Year’s Drink of the Summer Has No Calories, No Booze, and No Hangover [Partner]  With more and more folks re-thinking their drinking, it’s no wonder there's a new kind of beverage leading the social gathering charge. It’s called WYNK. It’s a seltzer, but instead of booze, it has a wynk of THC/CBD. Just the right amount to give you a bubbly social buzz. But not enough to lock you on the couch. While they’re perfect for the actively “sober-curious” crowd, we guarantee they’ll be a hit with the whole party. All you have to say is two words: No. Hangover.  Use the code TRYWYNK for $15 off + free shipping on the WYNK Experience Pack and get ready for a healthier buzz.   Wes Anderson MONTBLANC Commercial We love Wes Anderson. We love fountain pens. We love when two things we love that have seemingly nothing to do with one another overlap. Today, our love Venn diagram consists of one of the best writers and one of the best writing utensils.  Huh. Guess they do have something to do with one another.   How a Ship in a Bottle Is Made If this inspires you to try your hand at a ship in a bottle, great. But that’s not really the point. This guy’s genuine passion for making them is contagious, but it doesn’t mean you have to follow in his footsteps. Find a hobby that fires you up as much as little ships fire this fellow up.  Anyone have an empty bottle of Jack they’re not using?   Making Rope — Medieval to Edwardian Technique This is like high stakes bracelet making. Remember those friendship bracelets from childhood? You’d scrounge together yarn, string, or whatever else you could get your hands on. Then, you’d twist, knot, braid, tie everything together. This is like that.  Just a little more intense.   Throwback Walt Disney 1945 Industrial Cartoon: The ABC of Hand Tools Apparently, Walt Disney produced this animated video for GM back in 1945 as a way of educating employees on the correct way to use common hand tools. And we’re embarrassed to admit, we actually learned a few tips and tricks for hammer use, wrench hacks, and more.  This throwback holds up.   The Mixer Inside the horrifying legend of the Michigan Dogman. How to be charismatic in group conversations. LEGO Mona Lisa. Hotels with the most magnificent gardens. The man who invented disco’s beat. A knifeless Swiss Army Knife. Why off-season travel is the smartest way to vacation and the best adventure vacation ideas. The seltzers with a wynk of THC.* *Partner     /GTFO @ryanlongnecker | Avalon, Catalina Island, California     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
