This is a video highlighting the work of JEM FX, a visual effects company that specializes in the destruction of vehicles in movies. A lot of their work involves structurally weakening vehicles (e.g. cutting the support pillars of a car’s roof) so that they get damaged the way they want when the camera is rolling. Pretty neat. I only wish I’d known this was a possible career path when I was younger and pursued it, then maybe I wouldn’t be sitting here typing this right now. The Butterfly Effect, you know. “Do you even know what that is?” Yeah, it’s about a fly that fell into a bucket of cream and churned it so long swimming that the cream turned to butter and it climbed out. It’s about perseverance.

Note: If you search for NASA DART on Google you get an Easter Egg.

NASA successfully smacked an asteroid with a spacecraft traveling at 14,000 MPH in an attempt to alter its trajectory in a first-ever test of planetary defense, should an asteroid ever be discovered that’s on a collision course with Earth. The DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft successfully crashed into asteroid Dimorphos, forever changing its orbit, and presumably dooming another planet to the same fate of the dinosaurs. Personally, I’m a firm believer that the biggest threat to the planet isn’t going to come from outer space, it’s coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE. I’m talking about humanity — we’re screwing the planet. And if I were the scientist that discovered an asteroid on a collision course with Earth, well, I can’t say I’d be too eager to share my findings. “I probably forgot to carry the 1 somewhere,” I’d tell my colleagues, waiting for doomsday.

Keep going for the actual impact, which is far less exciting than you might expect, as well as a sizzle reel for the project that was much MORE exciting than you’d expect.

This is a video from a trail cam in Colorado of a mountain lion playing with a log swing. Both the camera and swing were set up by local Thaddeus Wells with the hopes of recording some video of bear cubs swinging. No word if he’s managed to capture that footage yet, but he did get this mountain lion batting the swing around like it’s a cat. Because it is — it’s a cat. Just not one you’d want pawing at your ankles to wake up in the morning, because it’s going to be a bad morning.

Presumably a group therapy session to promote healing from all the ill will shown toward them throughout the years, this is a video of 25 Furbies all having a conversation. What are they saying? No clue, but I assume it involves overthrowing humanity. Can’t say I blame them *minimizes ‘overthrow humanity’ organizational chart on computer desktop* can’t say I blame them at all.




This is a video of Koda the blue heeler jumping for a ball but getting a mouthful of boob instead. As far as aim goes, that was pretty bad. I can’t imagine Koda doing a great job of catching treats if this is the best she can do with a ball. And you certainly wouldn’t find me offering her any unless I’m wearing chain mail underwear, which I actually wear all the time because I’m a knight. “In shining armor?” God no, in athletic shorts and a vintage Big Johnson t-shirt.

Thanks to JustA, who agrees this is a perfect example of grabbing life by the boob. Or rather, life grabbing you by the boob.

This is a video of the fun-loving Aussies of Youtube channel How Ridiculous teaming up with archery trick-shot expert James Dean to see how many archery related Guinness World Records they can set, complete with some amazing curve shots that change direction multiple times. You know, I was always good at archery when I was a kid, I wonder how I am now. Probably not as good, I’ve grown very impatient in my old age. Jesus, is this article over yet, I’m bored and hungry.
