This is a short video from Shandong, China during the recent Qingdao International Beer Festival of twin Raidens dancing atop giant Tesla coils and sharing some lightning between them. Whatever happened to not crossing the streams? I have to admit though, this is the exact sort of entertainment I would

Because dream it and you can kinda sorta make it happen occasionally, this is a video of mad inventor/engineer Allen Pan (previously) building two different versions of automatic trick-performing skateboards. The first is powered by drone rotors and isn’t great (note: he should revisit this build for making a hoverboard),

This is a hype reel for Unitree’s R1 robot, a 4-foot tall (don’t let the perspective fool you) humanoid robot that’s capable, based on what I gathered from the video, of cartwheels, handstands, and a ton of punching and kicking. The R1 starts at $5,900 (options like moveable hands instead

After performing a modified version the classic rubber hand experiment on octopuses, Japanese researchers Sumire Kawashima and Yuzuru Ikeda at The University of the Ryukyus have suggested octopuses may experience a sense of body ownership similar to humans. In the experiment, a partition and fake tentacle were used to cover

These are a couple videos of planet-gobbling cosmic entity Galactus strolling the floor at San Diego Comic-Con. The cosplay, constructed by the appropriately named Extreme Costumes, requires the wearer to walk on stilts. Or be 10 feet tall. The wearer actually looks through the bottom of Galactus’s neck — the

Because who needs to mow when you have a big enough weed whacker, the creative problem solving Russians of Youtube channel Garage 54 went and constructed a 200HP whacker mounted to the hood of a car, spinning a blade with cables attached out in front. It looks good at what

This is a video of a young rollerblader demonstrating her incredible balance by skating (and spinning around) on a single wheel. That’s wild! For reference, last weekend I tried riding my bike for a few seconds without holding the handlebars and time traveled to a future where I woke up

The original Game Boy: that thing was a brick. And, appropriately, now it’s being immortalized in brick form with the upcoming release of LEGO set #72046. The 421-piece Game Boy set will be released October 1st for $60 and include pressable buttons, Super Mario Land and Link’s Awakening game cartridges,

Because some people really know how to spend their free time, this is a video from Youtuber Dr. Engine, who built seven different LEGO vehicles and pitted them against each other in four different extreme obstacle challenges. That’s fun, that’s a good way to spend a weekend. How I spend

This is a video from Shanghai, China where 432 crawler robots were used to move an entire city block of historic buildings while underground construction was performed, then moved back after completion. The robotic feet were able to move the 7,500-metric ton block about 10 meters (33-feet) per day over
