This is a video of Norwegian mountain biker Brage Vestavik riding down an absolutely bonkers trail made with what appear to be lengths of cut shipping pallets. “It’s called wood.” And wood is good. Red Bull titled the video ‘The Gnarliest Line Ever Ridden?’, and while it certainly might be

In other cat news, this is a compilation video of cats responding to hearing their owners speak through pet surveillance cameras. Some freak out and run, some swat the camera, and one appears to trip and turn into a ninja (was that even real at 0:40?). My favorite though is

This is a video of two felines being exposed to canned Surströmming — lightly salted, fermented Baltic Sea herring that’s considered a Swedish delicacy. Most people consider it unbearable, and the smell alone often incites gag reflexes. Fermented fish will generally do that to people. I’ve always wants to try

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 timelapse video from Youtube channel Star Wars: Tales Untold imagining how a Death Star might be constructed, using the computer magic of Kling AI. Or, who knows, maybe many Bothans died to bring them the actual schematics. I zoomed and enhanced the whole video, and now I’m

Because who has time to play video games *sobbing* Steam community modder 卡瑞恩洛夫斯基 created Mini-Life 2, a super condensed version of Half-Life 2 that you can beat in about a minute moving down a single corridor. Honestly, I wish I had a minute to play video games. I don’t even

This is some very well shot footage of the eight 375-foot decommissioned cooling towers at Cottam Power Station in North Nottinghamshire, England being demolished simultaneously with a half ton of explosives. The coal-powered plant operated for 51 years and supplied power to some 3.7 million UK homes. Unsurprisingly, the demolition

This is a video of Jack Mack of appropriately named Jack Mack Woodturning producing a walnut bowl that appears to spin clockwise AND counterclockwise simultaneously. The illusion is made possible by adjusting the lathe’s RPM so it matches the frame rate of the camera. That’s cool, but with all those

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
