Also an sort of amazing/scary gif of a crab getting sucked into some underwater pipe. It's not really gruesome and I'm sure that the crab was dead before it even noticed but in case that someone doesn't want to see that, I'll link it

Was expecting an actual crap, but was not disappointed.

Did wonder why you said it was dead already. :3

The Guinness Deep-Sea Bar.

London-based architecture practice, Jump Studios, recently completed the interior of a submarine for the first ever Guinness deep-sea bar, which recently plunged the depths of the Baltic in the Stockholm Archipelago. Jump was asked to create an interior for the vessel (fitting a space approximately 11m2) that reflected the Guinness brand statement ‘Alive Inside’. And the solution was a fluid concept, constructed from GRP (glass reinforced plastic), that captures the feeling of being ‘immersed in a dynamic, flowing experience’.

Sculpted nooks for seating, tables and a bar all form part of the shell, which is covered in rubber discs, akin to bubbles. Some of the discs were hollowed out and inset with LEDs, while others were left empty to serve as receptacles for the all-important cans and glasses. Jump worked alongside carpentry and engineering specialist Nicholas Alexander on the construction of the interior, which had to meet stringent marine specs on matters such as ventilation and fire safety while also satisfying the operational requirements of the submarine.

The project involved fitting an object almost exactly the size of the submarine inside it – via two small hatches. The components were made at the Nicholas Alexander workshop in London (after exact measurements were taken of the submarine from its base in Sweden) before being driven out to Sweden and assembled in sub-zero temperatures.

It’s blood. NYC artist, Jordan Eagles, works solely with gallons upon gallons of blood obtained from a slaughterhouse. By manipulating the blood through heating, burning, aging, mixing with copper, adding foreign materials, and then encasing it in plexiglass and UV resin, Jordan is able to capture an array of organic designs. His large pieces are uncomfortably beautiful, especially when lit, the blood seems to glow against the clean white walls of a gallery.

That blood: I love the colours and art, as they are beautiful. No doubt about that.

Those pieces being blood-made, however: too much of a reason to enojy. Hmmpf, pretty conflicting feelings here.

I took this picture inside a hotel I stayed at in UAE. This picture doesn't really do justice to how big this space is, but I think it's pretty cool.
