Super Mario Kart With 101 Players Is Beautiful Chaos
You’ll never convince us there’s a better racing game out there than Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. Hours and hours of our childhoods were spent racing those pixelated courses in our parents’ basements, but with the SNES only supporting four players, our races were never as intense as this epic 101-player…
What Happens When You Zoom in Too Much on Google Maps
Sleeping too well lately? Looking for that “something something” to turn those boring restful nights into a horrorscape? Turns out, zooming in too far on Google Maps’ user-uploaded 3D Spheres produces some impressively fucked up images.
Watching a Machinist Make an Entire Clock From Scratch Is So Soothing
A velvet-voiced Australian craftsman named Chris is the Bob Ross of clock-making. He shows you how to make a skeleton clock from scratch at home on his YouTube channel, Clickspring. In this installment of a multi-part series, bask in the close-ups of brass melting away like golden velvet to make shiny washers and…
Biking Ridiculously Fast Down a Bobsled Track Is a Crazy Thing to Do
It’s like this whole bike race is in fast forward or something. But it’s actually just on an abandoned bobsled track on the mountain Trebevic in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The speed that the bikers reach and the angles at which they are riding are totally insane so it’s best for us mere mortals to stay away from the real…
Transforming a Pair of Scissors into a Folding Pocket Knife
A knife and a pair of scissors are like cousins. They do similar things but also require completely different builds. It wouldn’t seem too difficult to transform one into the other but the work required is more than you’d think. Here’s a look at how you can turn a scissor blade into a folding pocket knife. Building…
Here Are All the Awesome Vertical Landing Jets in History
We all know how badass the Harriers and F-35s of the world are but some of these other vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircrafts from history are totally wild. The Williams X-Jet was essentially a flying one-man podium barrel thing. The Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar was legitimately a man-made flying saucer. And so…
A Visual Dissection of What's Inside a Fishing Reel
How can a fishing rod, which is just a stick and some string and this spinning thing, pull down heavy fish that’s swimming and fighting in the completely opposite direction? The magic is in the reel! Here is the visual breakdown of the 141 different parts that make up a fishing reel.
The First Person View of Climbing a Snowy 22,000-Foot Tall Mountain Is a Little Bit Terrifying
If there is a mountain, people will climb it. Or at least, people that are much, much bolder than I am. Here is some incredible point of view footage from David Lama and Conrad Anker as they become the first expedition to reach the headwall of Lunag Ri, a mountain that’s over 22,000 feet tall on the border of Nepal…
This Video of People Climbing a Skyscraper Is So Damn Stressful
Shun Hung Square is a 1,260-foot tall skyscraper that’s the third tallest building in Shenzhen, China. It’s really, really tall. And watching the guys from On the Roofs climb it gets more and more stressful because they just keep going up. You think they’ve reached the top but there’s still another level that’s…
Glorious Ultra Clear Video Shows One Entire Year of the Sun
This is what the sun looks like over the course of a year. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the Sun and all of its fiery grace from January 1, 2015 to January 28, 2016. That beautiful burning orb looks unbelievable in this amount of detail.
Watch a Huge 100-Foot Wave Crash Down and Smash a Ship
Damn. It’s like hitting a wall. Or rather, it’s like a wall hitting you. This footage shows giant wave after giant wave pummeling a ship and when you think they’ve finally weathered the storm, in comes the biggest and baddest wave that smacks the boat silly.
10 Funny Movie Scenes That Were Improvised
Movies are sort of at their most honest when things go off script and unplanned. It’s when actors transform into their character and react as their character would to certain situations that you get some truly hilarious stuff. Here are some improvised scenes put together by Screen Rant from movies like Guardians of…
Wow, Look How Crazy Fast These Sheep Get Herded
Watching hundreds of sheep get herded around the grassland from above is a pretty magnificent view. It’s like watching a real life hourglass somehow spill out. There’s a slight chokehold at the opening point of the fence but the sheep all move so fast that it’s actually pretty impressive. Nothing can move from one…
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Hilariously Summarized and Made Fun of in 90 seconds
Crude summaries of Star Wars are always great but here’s an especially silly one from Movie Blast. Instead of just simplifying the story (which it does), it also pokes fun of the movie and in turn, skewers all of us at the same time. Rey becomes Ray Romano, JJ Abrams is Jar Jar Abrams, Uber is mentioned, and so is…
This Impossibly Complicated Mechanical Clock Re-Writes the Time Every Minute
A cheap digital watch can keep far better time than even the most complicated of Swiss watches. But there’s still something undeniably appealing about watching all those gears, springs, and cogs spinning about—and this incredibly complicated clock that writes out the time has them in abundance.
Seeing a Drone Zoom Down the Burj Khalifa Feels Like Free Falling
Flying a drone over Dubai? It’s been done. Flying as a jetman all across the most famous buildings of Dubai? That too, has been done. It speaks to how nutty and batshit stunts have become (and how accessible it is for us to watch such nutty stunts) that normal nutty and batshit stunts can’t be done anymore because…
Watch the Movie References Used by The Simpsons Side-By-Side with the Actual Scene (NSFW)
Celia Gomez edited scenes from The Simpsons side-by-side with the movies those scenes are paying homage to and it’s just so much fun. We get to see how the hilarious animators of The Simpsons have repurposed and refashioned those iconic movies to be set in Springfield. That means seeing our favorite characters on The…
This Super Unique View of Traveling Looks Like an Awesome Video Game
Imagine a game like Grand Theft Auto but instead of committing crime and stealing cars and robbing people you’re having harmless fun and partying and seeing Colombia. This short, There and Back: Colombia by Spencer Creigh & Michael Barth, is basically that. You get to experience a person’s travel through a country…
Watch the Mesmerizing Magic of 24 Flying Drones Dancing at Once
Is it still magic if you know how it’s done? Is it still an illusion if computers are hiding the work? Marco Tempest plays around with that idea as two dozen drones buzz and fly all around him, seemingly controlled by his every move. Magic or not, it’s just cool to see 24 drones work together as part of a larger…
These Stunt Tricks on a Moped Are Totally Crazy
I don’t know what sort of negotiations this person made with gravity and the magnets of Earth and like, the ground because he came away with a freaking steal. The balance it takes to pull off all these crazy tricks on a moped and the creativity it takes to imagine them are just from another world. I mean, how does a…
