They're So Cute When They're Little
The bad news is that we need fewer kittens, since so many of them will end up at shelters, or be euthanized, or end up feral as a adults. The good news is video lasts, so that we will never run out of kittens we can watch on the internet instead.
The History of #2
What did people do before modern toilets were invented? In my neck of the woods, they used outhouses. That was the case in most places, but it became a problem when people started living close to each other in cities. Various systems for sewage disposal were installed by the Greeks, the Romans, and then the Europeans, but it was slow and only came about when the city's waste disposal problems became intolerable.
It was the same in the history of toilet design. There were great leaps that didn't spread and were even sometimes forgotten, possibly because no one really wanted to talk about the problem. Besides, having a flush toilet is kind of useless when you don't have a water delivery system or a sewage system, and that kind of infrastructure was a major undertaking. Once we had running water, not only could we use real flush toilets, but also sinks, bathtubs, and showers! This brief history will make you thankful you have those things. (via Laughing Squid)

How These Iconic Songs Got Their Names
YouTuber Walrus Pepper Skelter quickly runs through how 55 songs got the titles they have. The explanations often have nothing to do with the song's lyrical content, just the titles. For example, we all know that "Layla" is about Patti Boyd, but the name itself came from elsewhere. A few could use further explanation, like explaining to young folks that Teen Spirit was the name of a deodorant. The list slips sometimes, with no explanation for the title "Aqualung," just the lyrical inspiration. The video is text-based, so you'll have to look at it. (via the Awesomer)
