I love dancing robots almost as much as I love dancing Pikachus, so this video put a smile on my face. These 1,069 robots, who were all lined up to dance in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, broke the previous Guinness World Record for Most robots dancing simultaneously of 1,007 robots. (via CNet)
- NASA is letting you vote on the message that they’ll beam into space for the 40th anniversary of the launch of Voyager 1. The quotes are all quite earnest and touching, with options like “We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still”; “All of us are behind you, and ahead of you is everything”; and “Solar winds at your back, the stars shall light your way.” D’aaaww. Voting closes on August 29.
- The Tick creators explained why they’re releasing the first season in two six-episode batches. “Fan energy wants to have a culture to express itself in,” said creator Ben Edlund. “So if you split a season, and give a gap in-between, you get anticipation, you get people are able [to] talk about what happened.” It’s an interesting approach, and I’m curious to see how it turns out.

- This Johnny Weir interview about Yuri on Ice and anime fandom is pure joy.
- Rebecca Solnit wrote a really beautiful essay about being a woman for The Guardian, and although the title, “If I were a man,” suggests something more reductive and clickbait-y, it actually walks thoughtfully through the myriad ways that the patriarchy stifles all of us.

By many accounts, the history if ice cream goes back several centuries, and it remains one of the most popular deserts around the world. Many countries put their own spin on ice cream, but the latest creation out of Japan may be the most hardcore ice cream treat that we’ve ever seen. It’s an ice cream katana with a chocolate-covered cookie cross-guard!
Via Kotaku, Asahi Digital is reporting that the ingenious idea to create ice cream in the shape of a katana blade came from a high school student in the city of Seki in Gifu Prefecture. It’s especially fitting since the swordsmiths of Seki are renowned for their sword-making skills and their “high-quality kitchen cutlery.” As for the katana ice cream, they are made by a local confectionery chef and they appear to very popular creations.

So far, the katana ice cream only comes in bean paste or Japanese citron flavor, and it is only available in Seki. However, it’s such a great idea that we wouldn’t be shocked at all if it continues to expand across Japan and even to the United States at some point in the future. At least that’s what we’re hoping for! Because now that we know these exist, we want them badly.
What do you think about the katana ice cream blades? And which flavors would you like to see if they make it to the US? Share your delicious thoughts in the comment section below!
