Because, sometimes (very rarely), dreams really do come true, Volley of Australia is releasing a limited edition of their sneakers that feature detachable Velcro mullets on the heels. Now I’m not sure which one of you weirdos dreamed of these, but you deserve a medal. Or a heavier sleep medication. Will the shoes make you a better tennis player? How could they not?! Plus all profits from the sale of the $85 Heritage High Mullet Editions will go towards Mullets For Mental Health, which raises money for mental health research to help prevent suicide. It’s a win-win! Or love-love if you want to keep up with the tennis theme. Although I don’t think love-love is actually a win-win, I it’s more of a tie-tie. *shrug* I don’t know, I don’t play tennis, and the last time I did we abandoned the game to shoot bottle rockets at each other and deflect them with our racquets until the cops were called.

Because Mother Nature is even trippier than dropping acid at Cracker Barrel, this is a video detailing the process by which honeypot ants turn some females into repletes — living storage tanks full of nectar for when food is scarce. Nectar can both be added to and fed from the replete via a delicious kiss to the mouth. How romantic. Am I going to suggest to my girlfriend that we roleplay as honeypot ants in bed tonight? Not unless we have a really amazing dessert with dinner.

Keep going for the video, which does have a surprise ending.

I know, amazing sounds like an overstatement, but these domino (actually Kapla block) maze tricks really are impressive. I particularly liked the ones that that travel up and back down the stairs. And the ones that launch blocks. I only wish I was this creative when I was building domino mazes as a kid. I think about as creative as I ever got was a spiral. And not a very good spiral either. And definitely not one that I ever completed before accidentally knocking it over and crying in front of the whole daycare. Certainly not my best talent show, but not my worst either.

This is a VERY worthwhile edit by Youtuber There I Ruined It (previously), this time featuring Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’ cut down to only the isolated audio of the sounds he makes throughout the song. It’s a bangin’ 19-seconds, let me tell you. I think I just found my new summer soundtrack. Or the theme song for my new cult. Either way, I guarantee by August there’s gonna be a whole bunch of people begging to drink the Kool-Aid just to stop hearing it.

Because everybody thinks they can sing but this dog actually can, this is a video of TikTok user Cali Gorsuch preparing to sing some karaoke when her dog Leo steals the stage and belts out what can only be described as utterly sublime ear candy. If Leo’s singing were actual food I would be tearing the elastic band out of my sweatpants right now, because I can’t get enough of it.

In what quite possibly be the best video I’ve ever seen in my life news, this is a clip of TikTok user Luke O’Halloran trolling his brother Scott, telling him he’s trying to make the perfect Boomerang video of them cheersing when he’s really just recording him progressively lose his mind the whole time. I like how quickly Scott can put on a smiling face despite the fact he wants to choke his brother out. I know the feeling. Of getting choked out, just so we’re clear. Ever since COVID Fight Club has gotten nuts.

Thanks to JustA, who agrees siblings were made for trolling.
