It takes $1500, 6 months, and a lot of farming to truly make a sandwich at home from scratch
How do you make a sandwich at home? Grab some bread, slap together some mustard and mayo, throw in some turkey, add some cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions, and then eat it right? That’s what normal people do but that’s a total shortcut. How do you truly make a sandwich at home and from scratch? It involves farming… »Today 12:07am
Here are 5 alternate movie endings that would have totally been more bad ass
Sometimes movies change their original, director intended endings because the audience gets too attached to characters or studios want to leave room open for sequels or we all just want a teeny bit of happiness after we sit in a dark room for two hours. But some endings shouldn’t change because the alternate endings… »Yesterday 9:05pm
Watching CGI silly putty creatures fall on top of each other is hilariously satisfying
I can’t help but laugh when I watch these CGI silly putty creatures fall down and smack the ground and then have their buddy fall down on top of them and smack them and have another buddy fall down on both of them and smack them and then have them all sort of melt together in some sort of viscous congealed gooey mess. »Yesterday 7:40pm
Honest trailer for Furious 7 proves that it was the perfect mix of silly and awesome
An easy way to weed out un-fun people who you shouldn’t hang out with is to find folks who don’t enjoy the Fast and Furious series and then stay far, far away from them because they don’t enjoy the best thing in life: stuff that is just stupid but awesome and totally silly but so much fun. That’s basically the movie.… »Yesterday 5:39pm
Video: The brown sludge that is mass producing brownies
Brownies are absolutely delicious and probably one of my favorite things in the whole world. It’s a wonderful little treat. What’s not wonderful? When you mass produce them and have to pour buckets of ingredients to mix them up to create a oozy brown sludge that can be baked. Oh well, at least they’ll still be… »Yesterday 3:16pm
This stunning aerial view of the coast is like a moving painting
Brendan Lim’s latest, Adrift, shows a beautiful view of the cliffs and the rocks and the waves and the ocean in a perspective that combines all of those features into a moving painting of sorts. When the camera soars right on top of everything, the edge of the world has never looked better. »Yesterday 12:49pm
An Incredibly Rare View of a Double Solar Eclipse
Jesus Diaz shared a post by Charlie Jane Anders
Yup, it’s just what it sounds like. That’s the sun being eclipsed at the same time by both the Earth and the Moon. »Yesterday 12:53am
Driving through a fire looks like going through hell
This is crazy. A fire broke out in Lake County, California and devastated nearly 95 square miles. One elderly woman was killed, 13,000 people have been displaced and hundreds of home are now gone. It’s a total tragedy. Here is footage from inside the fire and it burns so hot it’s really unbelievable to see. »Monday 8:22pm
This crocodile impossibly jumping straight out of the water is the scariest thing
Come on, man. Is this even allowed? How is it fair that crocodiles can just shoot up—like, completely mother effing vertical—out of the water like this? I’m totally okay with them swim lurking and then chomping down on the surface of the water or the shore but this is just not right. This guy is basically flying, he’s… »Monday 7:53pm
Watch the scary power of a microwave oven make plasma and burn things
Yowza. Here’s a crazy rigged contraption that uses microwave energy from cavity magnetron to generate plasma and burn the heck out of things faster than you can warm a Hot Pocket. We can see it squeeze out plasma in a lightbulb, shatter glass and make basically anything burn. It’s a neat exercise to show how powerful… »Monday 5:49pm
Pouring molten aluminum into different melons casts a bad ass hand grenade
When you mix molten aluminum with a watermelon, you get something truly awesome. So what about other melons? Here the Backyard Scientist tries pouring molten aluminum into honey dew and cantaloupes to see what happens. Cantaloupes don’t really offer much but honey dews capture the liquid metal and turn it into a hand… »Monday 4:16pm
How many people has Superman killed in his movies?
Superman used to be really, really careful and considerate about the people he killed. In fact, you could probably count all the kills of Christopher Reeves-era Superman on one hand. He’s not like that anymore. Once you get to Man of Steel, you pretty much need every hand of every citizen in Metropolis to count out… »Monday 2:53pm
This freaky spiderman tale has a twist ending that you don't want to miss
Whether we are talking about a distant planet in a galaxy far far away or uncanny living creatures that are half-men and half-spiders, Mother Nature is ruthless and its rules apply the same everywhere. Make sure you don’t miss the twist at the end of this short because it’s so damn good.»Monday 10:11am
Video: The process of hand making a book the old fashioned way is a lost magical art
Anthony Bourdain’s Raw Craft takes a look at Arion Press in San Francisco in its latest episode and examines how this tiny printing shop carries on the legacy of printers of the past. It’s almost astonishing to see how much work gets put into each book. From the typesetting to the proofreading (which is done aloud) to… »Friday 9:33pm
The night time view of the Aurora Borealis
I wasn’t exactly sure what I was looking at. And then things started to make sense, you can see the city lights outline the US and the geographical footprint of other places and then this swirl mixture that basically takes over Canada. It’s the Aurora Borealis at night. »Friday 8:16pm
Cool video shows a spectacular B-52 bombing run from inside the weapons bay
Here’s really awesome footage that shows a B-52 bombing run on an island from inside the weapons bay. You can see the open doors of the plane peering down towards the ocean and then see the bombs drop away and strike the target and pepper the ground with explosions. Such a cool perspective. »Friday 6:38pm
These guys doing crazy tricks on a slackline follow different rules of gravity
I don’t know what planet these guys are from but it’s certainly not Earth because they don’t follow the very simple laws of gravity and break the concept of balance and destroy the very idea of time. They can jump on and off a slackline like it’s nothing and even do ridiculous tricks normal people couldn’t pull off if… »Friday 4:10pm
How visually similar Indiana Jones 4 was to the original movies
Very few people enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Actually, I’m not sure if there was a single person who ever watched an Indiana Jones movie before who liked the movie. But as Pablo Fernandez Eyre points out in this video comparison, there were a lot of similarities between the last Indiana… »Friday 3:54pm
Watch bare skin get tasered in painful super slow motion
This is a little bit gross but if you were ever curious as to how a taser works, just watch it shoot out in super slow motion. The electrical cartridge jumps out of the gun in an explosion of confetti (the confetti has a unique serial number), breaking down the door and then swimming through the air to latch onto the… »Friday 1:46pm
Biking through Bali is like exploring a wonderland
Called Surfing Trails, you would think this beautiful video about Bali is about, well, surfing. But nope! It’s a biking video that travels through the wonderland that is Bali, exploring trails on volcanoes and cuts through the forest and jumps through the hills. It’s a lovely exploration of the island.»Thursday 8:48pm
