World’s Quietest Room

Scientists at Orfield Labs have created “the world’s quietest room,” a room that has a Guinness world record-holding -9 decibels as compared to the usual 30 decibels for quiet spaces. These scientists study the effects of the room on people as well. Every area of the anechoic room absorbs sound so completely that subjects have been able to hear their own organs and even hallucinate. Most are so discomfited by the room that one person has only been able to stay in there for forty-five minutes. The room is normally used to test the sound level of products, such as lighting.

Earlier this year we featured an amazing plush billboard in Tokyo’s Shibuya Station shaped like the face of a giant black cat. It was an ad for Japanese shipping service Yamato Unyu (Yamato Transport), whose logo is a cute black kitty, so they’re more commonly known as Kuroneko (black cat) Yamato.

A huge pettable black cat face is already pretty awesome, but Kuroneko Yamato has outdone themselves by installing a complete, and even bigger, giant black cat in Shinjuku Station that’s also…wait for it…a giver of free presents! When you press its oversized nose the colossal kitty opens its mouth to dispense an assortment of 72 different Kuroneko-themed presents on its tongue.

That’s right. Go to Japan, skritch a great big kitty nose, receive a present. So super awesome!

“The big cat will be “awake” and spitting out presents at Shinjuku Station’s Metro Promenade from 11:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. every day until 4 October. After that, he goes on tour, stopping at ten locations around the country, like a giant, furry, four-legged, off-season Santa with presents for furballs.”

Watch this video to see the great big black cat in action:

Last night at 10pm EST, GooglePlay streamed a real life version of their popular phone game “Neko Atsume”, placing cats that looked the same as the one in the game into a room with various toys (also available in-game) and filmed the entire thing live. The overwhelming response from the internet, was a mishmash of several languages in the chat rooms, all cheering for their favorite kitties to do things like jump into nabe pots, hide in boxes, and “NO CREAMY, DON’T EAT THAT PLANT.” The stream ended at 9PM EST this morning. You can rewatch all 11 hours of footage on their youtube, but we stayed up all night like crazy people and screencapped the best parts:
