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

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.

Because hiding in plain sight is the best place to hide besides completely out of sight and ideally in another state or country, Youtuber Prestongoes built a drivable camper in the form of a convincing trash-filled blue dumpster. The unit includes motorized wheels, A/C, and a security system of hidden

Because this is the state of the internet now (previous similar things), these are a couple AI generated songs and music videos from Youtube channel Neural Derp featuring Star Trek characters set in a redneck universe. There’s ‘Beam Me Up, Bubba’ and ‘Star Trek: The Next Redneckeration’. What a time

With the addition of “The Caterpillar” attachment, Dutch artist Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest kinetic walking sculptures can now tow a human along the beach. How about that! Mount a metal detector to that thing and we’ll be unearthing watches and coins in no time. Cha-ching! I still remember the first time
