Because how else are you going to spend half a day, British lawnmower racing enthusiasts recently participated in an endurance race to see which team could complete the most 1.4km (0.87-mile) laps in 12 hours. Each team was allowed 3 drivers, who took turns (as needed) speeding around a dirt

This is a video of jazz musicians Dave Koz and the Summer Horns (Marcus Anderson, Marcel Anderson, Jeff Bradshaw, Leo P, and Evan Taylor) playing an impromptu concert for an Alaskan Air flight from St. Louis to Seattle (neither of which is in Alaska) during a 3-hour delay. That’s cool.

This is a closeup timelapse video of a praying mantis eating a fly. Please note I used a relatively tame screencap for the photo above but that mantis doesn’t always have the decency to cover it’s face while eating, and it digs into that fly like I would an ice

Because watching robots battle is a real glimpse of the future (battling us, unfortunately), this is a video of Unitree’s little G1 humanoid robots kickboxing each other in the ring. In these fights, the robots are being remotely operated by humans standing ringside, but in the future they’ll be fighting
