NOTE: Some strong language, mom may have been a sailor. Because what better way to thank your mother for bringing you into this mess of a world, this is a video of a lackadaisical son pranking his mom with a fake alien invasion broadcast (previously: this one). I’m not sure

A step in the effort to allow machines to “emote and communicate in a more lifelike way,” a collaborative team of scientists from the University of Tokyo and Harvard University have covered a robotic face with living skin. “But I want to wear your face,” I imagine the robot telling

Because bad ideas come in all danger levels, this is a video of professional freeride mountain biker Sam Pilgrim replacing his bike’s traditional wheels with giant circular saw blades to see how the bike rides.

This is a short, almost perfect internet video. It has everything: things you saw coming from a mile away, plus SURPRISES. So — is everything a coincidence, or is there an undercurrent of order in the universe? “Coincidence.” Good answer — everything is chaos. Especially cats and my life. View

Because robots don’t like competition, this is a video of a robotic vacuum pushing a lil creamsicle cat named Indy (we named the cat Indiana) underneath a chair. That’s just like a robot to try sweeping a problem under the rug (in this case a chair) instead of addressing it

This is a video highlighting the superpowers of a little Spider-Girl in China, who likes to crawl up the corner of the marble walls in the living room and watch cartoons from the ceiling. Apparently the family lives in a coastal town, where the humidity may help with the girl’s
