The BruBruBrush promises to clean your teeth in less than a minute
On my way to the cinema to watch Ford v Ferrari I received a message with a photo and a link to a website. 'Three-headed electric toothbrush cleans teeth in less than a minute.' Hehe, I replied. I thought it was a late April Fools' joke. Then I realized it was from the Internet, where the bizarre is normal and the normal is bizarre. So I checked. It is not a joke.
The BruBruBrush is a strange-looking triple-head oral care tool that, according to its Kickstarter page, will clean your teeth "super-efficiently, gently and without your attention to the process of brushing." A pledge of $139 will get you one, when and if they reach production.
The device cleans twice as fast as a regular toothbrush, the folks over at BruBruBrush claim. It is water resistant and will work fine with a regular toothpaste. The bristles are soft and replaceable, and a single charge is worth 25 minutes of brushing.
Here's a video of the BruBruBrush in action:
What do you think? Will this toothbrush take dental care to a whole new level?
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.
I can't remember when I first became entranced with Eric van Straaten 's 3D-printed sculptures. I think I stumbled onto his work through tumblr when I was searching for new artists to follow. Eric's attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the image of the eroticized child-woman is familiar throughout his work. Most of his hyper surreal pieces are 3D-printed in sandstone material, which are created by laying down a thin layer of gypsum powder and using a binding agent and color inks to print a pattern onto it. Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed. The model is then sealed and ready for display. "I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains. "The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...
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.
