Flying jetmen stunningly soar all over Dubai in amazing video
Watch as Jetman Yves Rossy and his protege, Jetman Vince Reffet, take their crazy jetpacks to the skies of Dubai and tour the city like Superman would. It’s unbelievable every time I see them soar through the air like fighter jets, busting moves and tricks that only stunt planes dare to try. Except they’re not in a…
Silly animation imagines if Fast and Furious 7's stunts were realistic
Some people think the Fast and Furious movie franchise is too ridiculous and dumb and filled with stunts that are even more realistic and dumb. Those people are so, so wrong. Because it really doesn’t matter how crazy it gets because it’s fun as hell to watch. You wouldn’t want to see the realistic version because…
Fun video reveals the hidden Easter eggs in Pixar movies
Pixar movies are always fun to watch because of the characters and the stories and most of all, the personality that each film has. The storytellers and animators of Pixar love to leave little unique bread crumbs in each movie to give the die hard fans something to talk about. Here’s a fun video showing fun easter…
Video: All the times Owen Wilson has said wow in movies
Owen Wilson basically plays the same guy in every single movie he’s in. If you’ve seen his shtick you know all his go to moves. Here is a video compilation of one of his favorites, saying wow at things. He either goes with breathless stunned wow or with an inflection that turns it into an upside down cat meow.
Seeing 1.3 million particles get thrown in a bowl is weirdly satisfying
Maybe it’s because they look like cheese puffs? I don’t know. But seeing this visual simulation of 1.3 million orange cheese puffy-ish particles get thrown into a bowl and the cascading physics that results because of that thought experiment basically stole my eyeballs for much longer than it should have.
How long can you keep different types of food in the freezer?
My freezer sometimes acts as an inescapable frozen pit where food goes to disappear. If I don’t want to think about it, just toss it in the freezer. It’s a convenient time stopper. But it’s not forever. Here’s a useful infographic that shows you just how long you can stick different types of food inside the freezer…
Watching these guys climb a 2165-foot tall tower made my nerves go crazy
God almighty, I can’t feel a damn thing in my body anymore because watching these two maniacs climb the still under construction 2165-foot tall Ping An Finance Center in Shenzhen, China is the most blood halting thing. When completed it’ll be the 2nd tallest building in the world and the tallest building in China.
This super realistic glass of water is actually a drawing
I love occasionally blowing my brain up and nothing does it quite like when I see something that looks real but is actually a perfect photorealistic drawing. Take this glass of water, it’s drawn with such skill and shading and angling and plays on your perspective so well that I feel like I can reach out and take a…
X-ray photos reveal child being smuggled was hidden inside a suitcase
This is crazy. An eight-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast was being smuggled into Spain while being hidden inside a suitcase. Apparently, the boy’s father had paid a 19-year-old girl to carry the boy in the luggage from Morocco to neighboring Ceuta, a Spanish city in Africa. This was a bad plan that could have ended…
Video: The history of the PG-13 rating and why the MPAA sucks
The Dissolve put together this neat animation that briefly looks at the history of the PG-13 rating, a rating that was invented after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlinswas released. And in discussion of the rating, it reveals how backwards the MPAA can be when it comes to violence vs sex, love and…
I can't handle this insane parkour run on top of a really tall building
This video of a crazy guy running and jumping and doing that parkour thing across a building ledge only lasts 15 seconds but I’m pretty sure I’ve thrown up 15 times, cried enough tears for 15 years, broke my knees in 15 different places from trembling too hard and destroyed my ability to process emotion for the rest…
Video: The stunning wonder and beauty of Vietnam
Vietnam is one of my favorite places in the world because the country is just beautiful, the food is absolutely fantastic and the people are so kind. I’m also completely biased because that’s where my family is from. But still! Watch this video that tours the wonders of Vietnam and try and say you don’t want to go.…
Making a cube in a cube in a cube from one block of metal is impressive
There is probably some negotiation with the Earth’s magnetic poles or some sort of magic going on here because somehow this guy is able to make a cube inside a cube inside a cube from a metal block. I have no idea what’s going on in the video half the time but watching the block get shaved to house three independent…
Video: How the poetry of beautiful films is in the details
The world view changing Tony Zhou of Every Frame a Painting takes a deep dive into the films of Lynne Ramsay, a director whose work I’m mostly unfamiliar with, and explains how the poetry of a film isn’t in the plot but in the details. Like with most of Zhou’s videos, I walked away learning something I never really…
Walk through Shanghai as the rest of the chaotic city moves in reverse
This clever video perfectly captures the chaos of Shanghai—or any city, really—by showing how people can seem alone even if they’re surrounded by millions of people. JT Singh, the media artist in the video, walks forward while the rest of the world is walking backwards in the reversed footage and it’s so surreal to…
This Masterful Scene From Lord Of The Rings Gives Me Chills Every Time
Everyone has those special film scenes that just give you chills, no matter how many times you see them. For me, one such scene takes place in the first film of the Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring. Here’s a video explaining why this one scene is so perfect.
Cute video shows a puppy grow into a big dog over time
Why hello Pegasus the dog. His human Dave Meinart has filmed Pegasus every day of his life on a treadmill and made this time lapse of sorts so you can see how the cute pup grows into a loving big dog. I always wish they could stay puppies forever but the growth is in the memories.
This camouflaged fish is so amazing that it's pretty much invisibile
The camouflage on this fish is so impressive that you can barely see it, I mean, it’s essentially invisible. Anytime it stops, I lose track of it because it blends in so perfectly with the ground. Even when it’s moving, it looks more like a pile of dirt than an animal. Amazing.
This Is What 15,000 Aircraft Look Like to Satellites in Space
The main task of European Space Agency’s Proba-V minisatellite is monitoring vegetation growth on our planet—but it also sees something a little higher in our atmosphere, too: signals from thousands of aircraft.
Watching a claymation head get deconstructed is oddly fascinating
It is somehow humanizing and terrifying to watch this claymation head get deconstructed in stop-motion. I think I shrieked and thought the face was coming alive multiple times and then shrieked again but no matter how gross it got, I could never look away.
