Tired of leaving the house in the morning only to find himself stuck in traffic (PROTIP: never leave), Youtuber Michael Rectin built himself a coffee table with a live traffic map of Cincinnati inside, so he can see the mess of traffic he has no choice but to drive into anyways. Sometimes I think it’s best not to know. Is the coffee table practical? As a precise live traffic map for making informed commuting decisions, not particularly. But as a coffee table, yes. I could really see myself resting a cup of coffee on that in the morning and brainstorming my options for calling out of work. When was the last time I had food poisoning?
