This is a short video captured by zoologist and wildlife photographer Dani Conner Wild (appropriate last name) of the sounds a seven-week old red squirrel makes while snacking on a nut. The squirrel is actually one of four babies that Dani cares for in the wild after their mother was

This is a video from Youtuber Art Of Engineering discussing at length how both electromagnetic and pneumatic drop towers work, and how they operate safely. I didn’t actually bother watching the whole video but I assume the answer is they don’t, and every time you ride one you’re risking it

This is Starsounds, an ambient music track created by composer Brian Eno (who, FUN FACT: actually coined and popularized the term ambient music) using the infrasound acoustic waves stars produce, which have been sped up to be heard by human ears. That’s cool. You know what would be even cooler?

Note: Language. This is a video of a student in the U.S. Air Force’s Introduction To Fighter Fundamentals course getting a dogfighting lesson in a T-38 Talon and his instructor getting very excited in the process. Sounds like a fun instructor. My flight instructor? He’d scream bloody murder every time

This is a video of musician Dylan Tallchief performing A-ha’s classic ‘Take On Me’ with the digital audio workstation he built inside Microsoft Excel. After the song plays he then discusses how the audio workstation works and how he makes songs with it. Honestly, like the ‘You Must Be This

This is a video from the Liceu Opera House in Barcelona, Spain, which recently reopened and held a concert for 2,292 potted plants. That’s, uh, that’s something. I bet the plants are extra happy though because I think I read somewhere that it’s good to play music for your plants.
