This is a video of a man who was never warned not to microwave an egg with the shell on (or was and decided to throw caution to the wind) removing an egg from the microwave and setting it on the kitchen counter, where it promptly explodes. A real eggsplosion.

This is a video captured by the kind folks of the Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center veterinary hospital in Roanoke of a female opossum growling, presumably upset about having to deal with a trip to the doctor. I’m right there with you, Ms. Opossum. The video claims most people haven’t heard

This is a video of mad engineer Shane of Youtube channel Stuff Made Here (previously) attaching a chainsaw to an industrial robotic arm and programming it to carve a dog sculpture out of a block of foam. Its first effort is an absolute disaster, but the second dog it produces

This is a video of a cleverly designed Japanese condiment packet that dispenses both ketchup and mustard in equal parts simultaneously. I always knew I could count on Japan for this sort of innovation. Granted, rarely do I want equal parts of ketchup and mustard on anything. I’m usually 2/3s

This is a visualization from RED SIDE comparing the relative speeds of various spaceships in the Star Wars universe. It was very well made, including the background. What’s your favorite ship? Mine’s the Eagle-5. “The RV from Spaceballs?” THEY SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED IT.
