Play Mario Kart right in your living room

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

The kit combines a small Mario R/C car with a series of foldable smart gates to project a mixed-reality game on your floor. Create any track you want, in any room of your home—even your own Rainbow Road. Then drive it using your Nintendo Switch as the controller, complete with a live cockpit view from the car.

This famous designer turned out to be an AI

Nikolay Ironov

Can AI be truly creative? Apparently, yes. Art Lebedev Studio has successfully created an AI designer named Nikolay Ironov. He’s been working at their studio in Moscow for over a year, or at least that’s what clients thought.

Act like your shit don’t stink, for real

Sneak a Squeak

I have no idea if this is real or fake, but either way, hilarious.

I don’t have a house, but I want this ladder

Murphy Ladder

It’s always nice to see brands have a bit of fun with an otherwise insanely boring product. To be fair though, this actually does look like a massive improvement over traditional ladders.
