Because humanity is, by nature, complete garbage, the flightless dodo bird has the distinction of being the first known species to be completely extinguishing by human activity (hunting, habitat destruction, introduction of predators). The species was discovered and extinct in less than 80 years. Go us! In this clip from

This is a video of incredibly skilled Japanese circus juggler Takehiro Nagaoka demonstrating his ball skills with some very stylized juggling. It’s pretty wild, and I particularly liked those long arm catches (far right in the pic above). I tried learning how to juggle when I was younger but quickly

The brainchild of Matty from Unnecessary Inventions, the Snackuum is anything but. Consisting of a small wrist-mounted vacuum and a suck-tube extending to the tip of your index finger, you can use it to pick up and eat cheese puffs and other dusty snacks without turning your fingers orange. Me?

This is a video of black cat Odo (who’s just an F and R short of being a Hobbit, but still eight members short of a ring fellowship) scratching a record on a turntable like a DJ. Honestly, his performance was actually better than some I’ve paid to see. It’s

This is a 3D printable desk lamp that looks like a cat wearing a cone of shame. Its creator hellgy describes it as, “A lamp to look like your cat when your cat is looking like a lamp.” Plus when it’s on the eyes glow like you took a picture

On my personal Instagram? Just a couple blurry bar photos spammed with comments to random OnlyFans. View this

This is a video of extreme athlete Lasse Walker kiteboarding OVER a Red Bull plane flown by pilot Łukasz ‘Luke’ Czepiela. It’s allegedly the first time anybody has ever kiteboarded over a flying plane, because why would they? Lasse clears the plane (which is just skimming the water’s surface) by

Seen here doing his best Geralt of Rivia, this is a cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ as performed by bardcore musician Algal the Bard on classic medieval instruments like the “Lute-guitar, Irish bouzouki, Tin Whistle, drums and Hurdy Gurdy.” And how appropriate, considering medieval knights WERE iron men.
