Because bad ideas come in all shapes and sizes (including XL), this is a clip of the Nitro Circus’ latest Life Size Toy: an 8-foot replica of a Duncan butterfly yo-yo designed to have two people strapped to the sides of as it spins suspended from a crane. That looks like a terrible time. Don’t get me wrong, if this were at the fair I would still eat two funnel cakes and immediately get in line to ride it, but I feel like I have a responsibility to give today’s youth a story to tell for years to come.

These are two shots of a jacket hanging in a home under construction that, from the hallway, looks exactly like a man waiting to club you in the knees with a crowbar. Thankfully, I’m carrying a nail gun, so he better be ready for me to accidentally nail my foot to the floor as soon as I spot him! I’m part of this home now.

Thanks to JustA, who agrees that, when in doubt, throw a hammer at it.

This is a clip of Star Wars TIE fighters zipping around doing their thing with Borzoi (aka Russian Hunting Sighthound) Vladimir Poopin providing the sound effects. I have so many questions. Mostly about life though, everything here made perfect sense to me.

This is a short clip of a Guatemalan chef demonstrating how to open an avocado with some well placed hand pressure, without the need for a knife. That’s handy(!), because knives and I do NOT get along. Honestly, I’m lucky to still have seven fingers. Still, I’ll probably still open avocados the way I always have: letting them sit on the counter waiting for them to ripen, then forgetting about them for two weeks until they’re shriveled little demon gonads and I have to throw them away.

This is a clip of The Juilliard School small ensemble professor and jazz drummer Ulysses Owens Jr. improvising drums for Nirvana’s ‘In Bloom’ after hearing the song for the first time. They provide him with a drumless cut of the song, and the rest is up to him. He does an absolutely fantastic job, creating something very close to Dave Grohl’s own drumming on the track. That is impressive. Me? I have zero musical talent, so if I were tasked with the same challenge my performance would have been almost entirely theatrical in nature. “Smashing the drum kit and stage-diving into an invisible audience.” Then picking up and swallowing my chipped teeth!

This is a video of a transformer atop a telephone pole giving up the ghost in a truly spectacular fashion. It’s like a pyrotechnics show. According to people in the Reddit comments, this is likely the result “of the secondary wires shorting out in the conduits attached to the cross arms,” and the fuses not blowing because they’re rated well above the transformer’s use. No clue what any of that means. Not that you care, when you read the post title you were probably expecting an Autobots orgy anyways.
