This is Su filindeu (thread of gods), a pasta so difficult to prepare that only three women of a single Sardinian family know how to make it
The ingredients are simple: semolina wheat, water, and salt. The serving preparation is similarly uncomplicated: gamey mutton broth and a helping of tangy pecorino cheese. Making the pasta, however, is nearly impossible. Engineers from the Barilla pasta company attempted, unsuccessfully, to build a machine that could reproduce the technique. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver also visited Sardinia in hopes of mastering the elusive noodle. After two hours, he gave up.

This magnificent rooster defended his flock of clucking hens from god knows what, and he’s got the bloodstains and scars to prove it.
Whatever it was that knocked, this rooster answered and survived to see another sunrise. Roosters are the head of the flock, charged with setting the pecking order straight and keeping that order within the group.
Yeah, they come to snuff the rooster…
Their other job is to be first in line to kick some ass, no matter what goes bump in the night, the rooster takes the hit for the group. Common chicken thieves range between free roaming cats to fucking bears, but the rooster cares not – his prime directive is to put his life on the line in defense of others and he serves his duty to the letter.
You know he ain’t gonna die.

This system was designed to combat car jacking by shooting a jet of flames at anyone standing next to either side of the car.
When this foot switch is pressed, two things happen. One, a 14-thousand volt spark would appear here in this nozzle, and then you have these four jets here shooting out gas. Liquid gas from the gas bottle in the boot. Liquid gas, as soon as it exits over the spark here, will ignite and a ball of flame will shoot out of both side of the vehicle. Incapacitating the hijackers immediately.”
Amazingly perhaps, the system’s legal in South Africa – provided the driver is acting in self defence as depicted in this mock-up.

Kanō Jigoro, the legendary founder of Judo. Despite being a smaller man, he could toss large men with ease.
The name Judo means “the gentle way” and the sport is built on principles such as justice, courtesy, safety, and modesty. Kanō saw the martial art as a way to bring people together, even while throwing opponents to the mat.
Born in 1860 in Mikage (now part of Kobe), Kanō moved to Tokyo with his father at age 11. Though he was known as a child prodigy in school, he often faced adversity. To build strength, he became determined to study the martial art of Jujutsu. During his time as a student at Tokyo University, he finally found someone who would teach him—Jujutsu master and former samurai Fukuda Hachinosuke.

$950 a month apartment in NYC (Harlem). No stovetop or private bathroom
A man says he lives in one of the smallest apartments in New York City and pays $950 for the 100-square-foot room.
Ron Ervin first gained attention on TikTok, where he attempted to take the unofficial title from AJ Webber, a model and aspiring actor whose minuscule East Village abode went viral last year.
“This guy has a queen-size mattress in his apartment,” Ervin riffed. “If I brought a queen-size mattress into my New York apartment it would crush me to death… Oh you have an actual closet to put your clothes in? Okay Bill Gates.”
