Imgur user JJSmooth44 scraped The Animal Planet endangered animals list and generated photos of several animals where each “pixel” represents one actual animal running around.

Inuit Cartography: A Coastline Map Carved out of Driftwood

Those beeps and glitches aren’t just random garbage, but they’re the handshake between two modems trying to agree on which language they’ll be speaking to one another.
