Mathematician Explains Why Star Trek Style Teleportation Is A Bad Idea

Mathematician Explains Why Star Trek Style Teleportation Is A Bad Idea

This is a video of mathematician Ashley Christine (aka Modern Day Eratosthenes) explaining why wormhole style teleportation would be much preferred to Star Trek style beaming, although we’re technologically closer to the beaming. Basically, Star Trek teleportation involves scanning a body, disintegrating it, then reassembling it somewhere else with the data, leading to ethical questions as to whether it’s actually still you that appears on the other side, or just a clone of you, and did you die? And that’s not even taking into consideration technological malfunction! *gets beamed up* Now maybe this is just my clone brain talking, but I swear my penis was bigger before. And it definitely wasn’t on the side of my head.

You Shall Not Pass!: Cat Blocks Tunnel To Prevent Sister From Coming Inside

You Shall Not Pass!: Cat Blocks Tunnel To Prevent Sister From Coming Inside

This is a video of feline Jade pulling a Gandalf and not letting her little sister ZuZu pass through the tunnel connecting their outdoor playhouse with the actual house. Cats, am I right? They can be jerks. Or maybe just lazy. Or, even more likely, lazy jerks. I see a lot of myself in cats.

Woman Filming Her Son At Swim Meet Falls In Pool

Woman Filming Her Son At Swim Meet Falls In Pool

This is a video of a mom filming her son competing in a swim meet and completely losing awareness of where she’s at and falling in the pool. Or maybe she was trying to distract the judges from that bootleg version of the breaststroke he was doing. One kick per stroke, and no flutter kicking! Still, as if having to wear a Speedo at that age wasn’t already embarrassing enough, now your mom is falling in the pool! “They’re not wearing Speedos.” Well I had to wear a Speedo, and it was embarrassing. Mostly for the other boys.

Thanks to JustA, who agrees the mom should have just started swimming and played it off like she was part of the race.

Top 10 Saloon Music Songs Performed On 1915 Upright Piano

Top 10 Saloon Music Songs Performed On 1915 Upright Piano

This is a video of talented pianist Vinheteiro (previously) performing a top ten medley of Scott Joplin ragtime tunes on a 1915 Barthol & Berlin upright piano. You can close your eyes and almost convince yourself you’re in an old wild west saloon drinking hot whisky and in desperate need of a bath. That’s what I did, and in my mind you just missed the spittoon and spit tobacco on my boot. Now we have to duel at high noon! How fast are you with a pistol, anyways? “Very.” Nevermind, I never liked these boots anyways.

Incredible Mario Kart Themed LEGO Roller Coaster

Incredible Mario Kart Themed LEGO Roller Coaster

Three years in the making, these are a couple videos of the Mario Kart themed LEGO roller coaster constructed by builder scottmakesmocs. Now that is impressive. My last LEGO build? It was not that impressive, and my mom said if it was a finger painting it wouldn’t make the refrigerator door, even if I gave it to her on Mother’s Day. Still — three years? Even babies are conceived and born faster! What do they take, like two years?

Nirvana’s 1992 SNL Performance Gets Upscaled to 4K

Nirvana's 1992 SNL Performance Gets Upscaled to 4K

This is a clip of Nirvana’s January 11th, 1992 performance on SNL that’s been upscaled to 4K with the use of A.I. The episode also featured host Rob Morrow from Northern Exposure (my parents loved that show), and the band performs ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and ‘Territorial Pissings’ before Grohl destroys his drum kit and Cobain pokes holes in all the amps with the head of his guitar. At the very end of the show, bassist Krist Novoselic pretends to make out with drummer Dave Grohl (who was casually smoking onstage — what a time!), which was cut from being shown in reruns because 1992 was basically the stone age.
