Instagram isn't real, and it made us all huge f*cking liars

A picture is worth a thousand words... and in this case, a thousand lies.

Thai photographer Chompoo Baritone has created a series of images that reveals the reality behind Instagram posts. The project, titled #slowlife, pokes fun at how IG users often use filtered, cropped photos to make their lives seem more fabulous than they actually are.

The building blocks of your childhood dreams have finally arrived

Mini Materials in Winter Springs, Florida produces beautiful miniaturized construction materials at 1:12 scale. The cinder blocks are made from actual cement, the bricks are made from real terra cotta, and the pallets (which double as coasters) are built from real wood.
