This is a VERY rough timelapse of the lifecycle of a giant owl butterfly as captured in a human hand. The video begins with a tiny egg, proceeds to several stages of caterpillar growth before a chrysalis, and, finally, a butterfly. Man, I can’t wait for my own metamorphosis. It just sucks because no matter how tightly I bundle myself up at night or how long I sleep, I still wake up just a caterpillar. A very hungry caterpillar. Just not the sort they write best-selling children’s books about either, which extra sucks because I could really use those royalties.

These are two videos of Paris circa the 1920’s that have been restored, stabilized, colorized, and remastered at 60FPS. The first predominately features famous buildings and monuments, and the second one more human activity. They were a trip to watch. To think that this was captured over 100 years ago. Wow wow wow. Now I know what you’re wondering, and yes, I was able to spot several time travelers in the footage. They were relatively easy for me to spot, but I have a trained eye. Just one though, the other is lazy and I get accused of staring at boobs a lot.

Assembled by photographer Eirik Solheim using still photographs (and audio) he took of a Norwegian forest from the exact same spot over the course of a year, this is a timelapse video of the seasons changing the landscape as time marches on. And time never stops marching, does it? As much as you wish it would halt its advance sometimes, it never does. Watching a whole year go by in 40-seconds might sound fast, but I swear the last five years went by in the blink of an eye. And what do I have to show for it? Exactly, just two more penis reduction surgeries to go.

This is a video of taekwondo practicioner minsungimdang demonstrating his insane skill with a flipping and twirling jumpkick that absolutely devastates four boards. That poor wood! Of course I say jumpkick but he’s actually launched into the air by two helpers. Regardless, dude is basically the fifth ninja turtle. Plus I like how he has his shirt tucked in. Guys wearing tank tops act all hard, but it’s the guys with tucked shirts who’ll really feed your own ass to you.

Because there’s absolutely zero shortage of wackadoo ideas on the internet, here’s a couple videos of rollerblader Ilia Savosin hacking the Matrix and performing a variety of tricks with custom skates he made using computer keyboards, flatscreen monitors, laptops, and computer mice. Was that a QWERTY grind I saw?! Probably my favorite trick of all is the one where he stalls at the top of the ramp and leans down to type out a quick work email on his laptop skate. That was great. Clearly, when Morpheus gave Ilia the option of taking the red pill or the blue pill, Ilia took both along with some greens he had in his pocket.

Drone footage shot by wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes off the coast of Santa Barbara, California shows what might be the first ever newborn great white shark captured on film. Some more details about the rare sighting while I fondly remember the original Shark Bites gummy fruit snacks from my childhood:

Great whites are typically gray on top and white on the bottom, but the 5-foot-long shark the two spotted was pure white. This color is possibly because embryonic sharks feed on unfertilized eggs for protein and their mothers offer additional nourishment to the growing shark pups with a ‘milk’ secreted in the uterus.

Where white sharks give birth is one of the holy grails of shark science. No one has ever been able to pinpoint where they are born, nor has anyone seen a newborn baby shark alive. There have been dead white sharks found inside deceased pregnant mothers. But nothing like this,” said Carlos Gauna

Hey, there’s a first time for everything. Of course great white birth sightings will probably become much more common in the future as the polar ice caps melt and the oceans begin swallowing the continents and reclaim what was once theirs. I’ve seen Waterworld. Also, if you came here hoping to find out if great white sharks are born angry looking, the answer is yes.
