Control Tower And Drone View Of The Arecibo Telescope Collapse

Control Tower And Drone View Of The Arecibo Telescope Collapse

The Arecibo Telescope, probably better known for its appearance in GoldenEye than for any of its scientific discoveries, made an unplanned crossing of the Rainbow Bridge on December 1st after several catastrophic cable failures dropped the telescope’s 900-ton receiver through the dish below. The collapse was captured on video both by the control tower, and a drone that was monitoring the cables when they snapped. It was a good radio telescope, and it will be missed.

Tour Of A Massive 1,000,000+ Piece LEGO Hogwarts Castle

Tour Of A Massive 1,000,000+ Piece LEGO Hogwarts Castle

Go big or go home: I went home and I have no regrets. Other people, other people have decided to go big. This is a video tour of Czech Republic LEGO builder Marek Mencl’s 1,000,000+ piece LEGO Hogwarts Castle. Just look at that thing! The entire castle takes up an area that’s approximately 5.5-meters by 3.5-meters (18-feet x 11.5-feet), and looks like it would be an absolute blast to play with. So — are you thinking what I’m thinking? “Does it involve you stomping around in a Godzilla costume?” Haha *pointing to phone* I’m on hold with the costume rental company right now. Sounds like I might have to settle for Bigfoot though.

Thanks to Jeffrey S, who informed me at the LEGO average of 10.4¢ per brick, this is a $104,000 playset. Holy mackerels!

Schwarzenegger & Stallone Step Brothers Deepfake, Now With Voiceovers

Schwarzenegger & Stallone Step Brothers Deepfake, Now With Voiceovers

Remember that deepfake of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in Step Brothers made by Brian Monarch? Of course you don’t, that was all the way back in October. What are we, elephants? Well this is that video, but with voice actor Joe Gaudet performing Schwarzenegger and Stallone voiceovers. The result? Well the result is the video below. Honestly I’m not sure why they didn’t use AI to deepfake the voices as well. I mean hiring a human to do a computer’s job? I thought this was supposed to be the future. “Pfft, 2020 set the future back at least another ten years.” SAD FACT.

Two Year Old Solves The Trolley Problem

Two Year Old Solves The Trolley Problem

This is a two-year old’s novel solution to the trolley problem. For those of you unaware of the trolley problem, it’s an ethical thought experiment that involves a runaway trolley headed towards a group of five people. If you do nothing it will run them all over and kill them. But if you pull the lever in front of you it will divert the trolly to another track where there’s only one person that will get hit and die. What do you do? This boy’s solution? Move the lone person over to the other group and run them all over so you leave no witnesses. Obviously, this kid is going places. Presumably in the mafia.

Three People Jump Through Same Horizontal Hula Hoop In One Movement

Three People Jump Through Same Horizontal Hula Hoop In One Movement

This is a video of three athletes jumping through the same horizontal hula hoop in one fluid movement as the first jumper throws the hoop behind him. Although based on how hard they celebrate afterwards, I wonder just how many tries this took to get right. My guess is in the hundreds of thousands. I’m also not a very good guesser. That said, if this was an Olympic sport I would watch it, and I would yell at my TV just as much as I do when it’s off.

Awww: Nursing Home Residents Go ‘Deer Hunting’ With Nerf Guns

Awww: Nursing Home Residents Go 'Deer Hunting' With Nerf Guns

This is a heartwarming video from the Continental Manor nursing home in Blanchester, Ohio of residents going deer hunting with Nerf guns, shooting staff members dressed up as deer and hiding behind Christmas trees. How fun is that? Plus significantly safer than the knife throwing activity I had suggested.

Keep going for the original Facebook videos as well as a Youtube compilation of all three for easy watching.

Thanks to MSA, who agrees they should be allowed to eat whatever they kill.
