This is ‘Insane Guesses Compilation #5,’ a video of Youtuber GeoWizard playing GeoGuessr (a web-based game that requires you to guess where a Google Street View location is in the world based solely on the clues available in the view) and absolutely crushing it. He’s casually guessing within a kilometer of a rural neighborhood street in the Southern African nation of Eswatini. Of course these are his absolutely best guesses, so there could also be a ton of him guessing locations that are 10,000 kilometers off. I’ve got the feeling that isn’t the case though, and Carmen Sandiego’s days are numbered.

This is a video of bladesmith and general lunatic michaelcthulhu crafting the Wrecktangle, a massive rectangular sword that looks more like he tore the diving board off a neighbor’s pool than it does a sword. I couldn’t even imagine trying to carry that behemoth into battle. I mean, I’m not a giant. Well, maybe PARTLY. I’m only like an eighth giant by ancestry, but I’m a full quarter penis by weight.

This is a short video captured by zoologist and wildlife photographer Dani Conner Wild (appropriate last name) of the sounds a seven-week old red squirrel makes while snacking on a nut. The squirrel is actually one of four babies that Dani cares for in the wild after their mother was hit by a car. Man…I still remember the first time I got hit by a car. The second time too. Just not the third — that one knocked like eight months of memory out of me, which was kind of awesome because then I got to watch all of Game Of Thrones like it was new again.

Thanks to my friend becca b, who agrees you should think about these orphans the next time you’re speeding through the forest all willy-nilly.

This is a video from Youtuber Art Of Engineering discussing at length how both electromagnetic and pneumatic drop towers work, and how they operate safely. I didn’t actually bother watching the whole video but I assume the answer is they don’t, and every time you ride one you’re risking it all.

This is Starsounds, an ambient music track created by composer Brian Eno (who, FUN FACT: actually coined and popularized the term ambient music) using the infrasound acoustic waves stars produce, which have been sped up to be heard by human ears. That’s cool. You know what would be even cooler? If the sounds of babies crying were slowed down so they couldn’t be heard by human ears. Specifically mine.

This is a video from Sandy, Utah of a boat trailer that becomes detached from the truck towing it (presumably as a result of user error) and proceeds to cruise down the highway by itself. As far as things a boat owner wants to see, I imagine this is at the very bottom of the list, along with ‘a gas gauge on E and no land in sight,”a hole in the bottom,’ and ‘the repo man.’

Thanks to my buddy Chris C, who agrees you can lead a boat to water, but you can’t make it not break free on the highway and crash into the median.
