Beer pong Slip Cups prevent college students from drinking dirt

Thanks to these clever guys from Connecticut, dirty beer pong is now a thing of the past.

The Slip Cup is a plastic cup that catches the ping pong ball, and prevents it from landing in your drink. Invented by the Treibt brothers, the device fits above bigger beer pong cups. It has a thin rim so it won't disrupt the shot, and has a small flap to stop the ball from bouncing out. The Slip Cups are also centre-weighted so your beer pong cups — and the beverage inside — don't easily splatter all over the floor when hit by the ball.

Donating $5 will get you a Slip Cup pack of 20. As of this writing, their Kickstarter campaign has raised almost $63,000, and with 20 days still to go, it is likely that they will reach their $70,000 crowdfunding goal. Check out the video below to see exactly how it works:

Sometimes, it's the simple ideas that truly change the world.

Where Bad Space and Good Music Collided

My first apartment was in Malate, and calling it “small” would be generous. I lived there with two girls and one guy, and to this day, I genuinely don’t know how we all fit. It felt like a magic trick. Or a health hazard. We were a musical mess. One roommate lived and breathed ’70s classics. Another was permanently blasting Korn and Slipknot. One survived solely on cheesy love songs. And me? I was floating somewhere between new wave and folk rock, pretending that made sense. Somehow, despite the noise and the chaos, we all lived together in this weird, mismatched harmony. No murders. No lawsuits. A win, honestly. My music taste now is nothing like it was in my twenties. Not even close. But I’ll always be grateful to Jacqueline for introducing me to this song in particular. It was playing when I woke up from a very memorable sleep in 2002. I was 21, half-awake, probably confused about life, and that song stuck. It still hasn’t let go.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!
