This is a video of Neil Cheng Le and his pet Peruvian Giant Yellow-Leg Centipede (Scolopendra gigantea). Just look at that thing! I thought it was AI at first, but now I’m only wishing it was. Neil’s leggy (and venomous!) pet measures over 16″ long and eats wet cat food.

In other cat news, this is a compilation video of cats responding to hearing their owners speak through pet surveillance cameras. Some freak out and run, some swat the camera, and one appears to trip and turn into a ninja (was that even real at 0:40?). My favorite though is
This is a video of two felines being exposed to canned Surströmming — lightly salted, fermented Baltic Sea herring that’s considered a Swedish delicacy. Most people consider it unbearable, and the smell alone often incites gag reflexes. Fermented fish will generally do that to people. I’ve always wants to try
