This is a video of a dog that smells a downstairs neighbor cooking chicken on the grill directly below its balcony. My God did that smell good. That was a G.I. Joe ‘Pork Chop Sandwiches’ reference, just so we’re clear. Dogs, am I right? Even bad dogs are still better than any human could ever be, and I should know because I take care of two of the very worst dogs. Just kidding, they’re perfect in every way and I don’t even care that Ellie pooped in her bed last night, which also happens to be my bed.

Thanks to JustA, who agrees the nose knows.

In now that would make an awesome middle school field trip news (we went to a waste water treatment plant), this is a video from inside a LEGO factory detailing how minifigs are made, at rates up to 8,000 minifigs/hour. Fascinating. Of course the short answer of how LEGO minifigs are made is that they aren’t — they come unassembled and YOU have to make them yourself. LOLOL! God I’m so clever. “Sharp as a pillow.” Mom! “Speaking of — go make your bed.” No, I’m going to get back in it.

This is a video of Abbey Way delivering a recent snow report for Seven Springs Mountain Resort in southwestern Pennsylvania while a skier hangs on for dear life in the background trying to make it down the stairs. Do you think Abbey was self-taping the video, or do you think there was someone laughing into their snow jacket behind the camera watching this person struggle? Whatever the case, Seven Springs is actually one of the ski resorts we would go to on high school ski trips when I lived in Maryland. It also holds the honor of being the place where I touched my very first boob. A snowwoman boob, but still, I made her pretty realistic with beer bottle eyes and everything.

Thanks to JustA, who’s probably going to kill me and that snowwoman now out of jealousy. Ooooor just think I’m an idiot, which I am.

Because these sorts of things need to be talked about, /TVTooHigh is a subreddit for photos of flatscreen televisions mounted too high, or posts from people seeking feedback about the height they’ve mounted their own televisions, most of which are entirely too high, or low. From what I’ve seen, the majority of too highly mounted televisions are the result of mounting above fireplaces that already exist on a living room’s logical TV wall. The rest are just the result of incredibly poor decision making. The height of the television in my girlfriend’s bedroom? It starts almost perfectly at her eye level, but gets lower and lower as my arms get tired.

Keep going for a bunch more examples, my favorites of which (besides the main photo) are the one mounted at the ceiling with the spotlights on it for maximum glare, and the one in the kitchen.

This is a compilation video edited together by Youtuber John DiMarco comparing the varying visual effects used in the Star Trek franchise for ships warp jumping, featuring examples from 1979 – 2021. Some more info about warp jumping and timestamps of all the movies and shows used while I warp jump to the kitchen and make myself a space sandwich:

One of the hallmarks of Star Trek’s visual aesthetic is the classic jump to warp speed. Audiences were treated to the first version of the warp jump in 1979 with the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In this video, we will be doing a survey of how the warp jump effect changed over the years. Note: The Kelvin timeline and other alternate continuities are not included in this overview.

Personally, I prefer the older visuals to the newer ones. But that’s just me and I’m forever telling the cashiers at Target that “They sure don’t make them like they used to.” That’s usually when they tell me I don’t look that old, and I say that’s clearly because they’ve never seen an undead warlock before. And THAT, my dear friends, is how you avoid being asked to sign up for a Target credit card every time you shop.

Finally, somebody did it: comedian and filmmaker Matthew Highton made a mashup video of the Spice Girls in Dune. It’s every bit as fantastic as it sounds, and I would watch a full-length two and a half hours of this, no questions. Fifteen year old me? Fifteen year old me would have watched a solid eight hours of this, two questions: what are you doing and where are your pants?
