Because time is moving at warp speed and Christmas is just 15 days away (despite my best efforts to slow it down so I have time to make meaningful gifts instead of grabbing a bunch of gift cards at the grocery store checkout like I’m going to do), this is

This is a video of acrobat and glizzy performance artist Jacob Grégoire performing a series of hot dog tricks. Apparently Jacob is one of Peter Pan’s Lost Boys and never grew out of playing with his food. I respect that. Damn he make them wieners look good! I can’t even

This is the Salami Advent Calendar sold by Polish grocery store Podnikovka. What makes it different from a regular stick of salami? Its wrapper is marked with the days of Advent! And that’s all, you just cut off a portion and eat it everyday. Unfortunately, the flavor doesn’t change as

Because…okay I have absolutely no idea why (but hopefully just a college design project), this is a video of a cat carrier that unzips from the rear of a pair of pants, allowing a cat to be carried directly behind the owner’s ass. “But what did you have for lunch?”

Honestly, I’m not sure how I thought it was operated, but it wasn’t this. “You

This is a GoPro video captured by the “Hurricane Hunters” of the US Air Force’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron as they fly through the eye of Hurricane Melissa. I don’t know about you, but I’ve known several Hurricane Melissas myself. Actually, every Melissa I’ve ever known. If you’re a Melissa

Allegedly inspired by little handheld foam disc launching pistols and not the saw-blade guns from video games (do you even game, bro?), this is a video of Youtuber Current Concept building a saw blade launcher. Unfortunately for a nit-picking complainer like me, it launches the blades straight using flywheels without
