This is a video of Brazilian pianist, accordionist, sound engineer, musician, aquarist (aquarium keeper), YouTuber, and starer (you got a problem with me?!) Vinheteiro demonstrating skill progression on a harpsichord from one minute of playing, to ten years (5,256,000 minutes). Of course this is assuming the musician already has some
This is a visualization created by 3D animator Jarde Owens providing a tour of all the Titanic’s interior (and exterior) features from top to bottom, including the engine rooms, secret rooms, and MORE. Did you know the Titanic was one of the first ocean liners to have a swimming pool?
Because this is the internet and the internet is full of weird hidden gems, here’s a video of a woman demonstrating how she thinks different pastas, cheeses, and breads would walk if they were human. And I’m pretty sure I speak for everyone here when I say thank God they
This is a video highlighting the work of foley artists and the incredible difficulty in making just the right footstep sound effects (considered one of the hardest to duplicate) for television and movies.

It’s crazy to think the astronauts up there
This is a visualization imagining you’re a beam of light departing New York City, traveling the circumference of the Earth, and returning to New York City. How long does it take? Well since the speed of light is approximately 300,000km/s and the Earth is about 40,075km in circumference, it takes
Planes: it’s hard to believe they even work. Although I suppose with enough wind wizards held captive in the cargo hold, anything is possible. This is a visualization comparing the sizes of various aircraft from diminutive one-seaters, to the 747, AND BEYOND. I learned a lot by watching it. Mostly,
