This is a video from Mark Rober of his brief pet octopus Sashimi making her way through an increasingly difficult 9-part obstacle course/maze in order to reach the vault at its center, containing all her favorite shrimpy food. Octopuses not only have a central brain, but 2/3s of their neurons

Nature: it never ceases to amaze. This is a clip from the BBC’s ‘Life Story’ narrated by David Attenborough featuring the courtship practices of a flame bowerbird in Papua, New Guinea. Wow, it looks like a phoenix that’s risen from the ashes! How could you not be impressed? After first

Because why not, this is a video from musician fxsnowy, who played a chiptune version of Rage Against The Machine’s 1992 protest song ‘Killing In The Name Of’ using SEGA Genesis sounds. He did a great job, although it lacks the evocative message of the original without any lyrics. Still,
