Because scientists are determined to make DNA hacking the way of the future whether you refuse to eat GMO corn or not, ‘synthetic biology startup’ Light Bio has created Firefly Petunias, flowers infused with the DNA of bioluminescent mushrooms so they glow in the dark. And the USDA has just
This is a video of Robert “Crazy Rocketman” Maddox (previously) riding the Rocket Board, a homemade rocket-powered skateboard he constructed. It’s pretty glorious. Also I love how he trusts his invention enough to not wear a helmet while one-handing the controls so he can selfie-stick himself with the other. Clearly,
This is a video of the gun-lovers at Kentucky Ballistics firing a 7 bore (internal muzzle diameter, 0.873″) blunderbuss. God, I feel the high seas calling my name just looking at it. But I told myself my life of piracy is over — I’ve settled down now. I do miss

This is a compilation video pieced together featuring a variety of cats drinking water while laying down. It appears some of them actually ARE trying to drink, but others are just playing with the water. Kind of like how I’m always blowing bubbles in my chocolate milk. My girlfriend hates
This is a live-action fan film from Youtuber Batinthesun pitting Batman and Superman against Darth Vader. But mostly just Batman vs Vader until the very end. The production value is surprisingly high, which explains why they were only able to make a 5-minute movie. Unfortunately for me and my viewing
