Because ‘Black Mirror’ was actually just a regular mirror all along, AI app 2wai (pronounced 2-way) creates digital avatars that you can interact with, promising to connect the currently living with the currently dead for a monthly fee. Because that’s something we’ve been needing. Allegedly all that’s needed is a

This is a clip from the Tianmen National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie, China (previously seen with athletes parkouring down) where a publicity stunt involving a Chery SUV attempting to drive up the 999 stairs leading to ‘Heaven’s Gate’ went horribly wrong. The SUV eventually slips backwards and destroys part of

Because evolution is just an r short of revolution (I don’t know I’m just spitballing here), this is a video featuring a brief evolutionary history of Theo Jansen’s wind-powered Strandbeests, culminating in footage of his most recent species. Do, uh, do these things mate? And do you think they’ll ever

This is a video of maker of marginally useful things Uri Tuchman constructing an auto-deploying tape measure. That’s neat. What would be even neater is if it were a voice-activated SMART tape measure. “Tape measure, give me 4-feet 5-inches!” Yeah…that would really be something.

This is a video of a honey buzzard eating the larvae out of a beehive while all the bees panic and attack. The birds have specialized shield feathers around their faces to help prevent stings. This video reminds me a lot of myself while I’m eating the entire pumpkin pie

This is a video of musician Miguel Lawrence performing Korsakov’s iconic ‘Flight Of The Bumblebee’ on a sopranino recorder at a speed that would make even bees proud. Both the fingerwork and breathwork are most impressive. I wouldn’t be able to do that. Honestly, I got winded just typing this.

This is a video of Youtuber Mattias Krantz attempting to teach an octopus named Tako to play the piano over the course of six months. That’s a long time. Like a quarter of an octopus’s life. If I spent a quarter of my life trying to learn something, I’d like

True story: My girlfriend was just talking about NSYNC for some reason I didn’t catch because I was in the middle of work. I normally hang on her ever word though, I’m a very attentive boyfriend. Plus I rub lotion on her feet every night and get between the toes
