This is a clip of Brazilian MMA fighter Rafael Alves skillfully dodging a flurry of five punches from his opponent, smoothly bobbing and weaving his way out of his face getting smashed. Not seen in the video: Rafael depleting his bullet time meter and eventually losing the match. I would

This is a video of parkour athlete Nico Fischer demonstrating his skills by repeatedly (and smoothly) jump-climbing up and down two parallel walls without touching the ground. His friend Aziz gave him the nickname ‘Elevator-Man’, which I’m adding to my list of blackballed houseguests. I made the mistake of letting
