Inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests, this is a video demonstration of Dutch game designer Giliam de Carpentier’s Carpentopod, a wooden coffee table that walks and can be remote controlled. Carpentopod, fetch me a beer! “Remote controlled, not voice controlled.” Riiiiight. *tossing empty can on floor* Well it could use a

Because you don’t know until you try (although you probably already had a pretty good idea), this is a video of maker of things (including poor choices) Allen Pan attempting to build a lawn mower that cuts grass with the power of burning lasers. Apparently Allen was inspired by California’s

This is a clip from self-proclaimed messy stay-at-home-mom Alana properly cleaning a front-load washing machine, including the detachable plastic baffles.

Apparently they’re happy enough with its current state that the company will begin delivering to customers later this year ($128,000 — no pilot’s license required in the US!). Exciting

Because why not risk getting massaged to death, the Aescape is an AI powered massage table with two industrial robotic arms to work out all your knots. It has a touchscreen control panel so you can select specific areas to work on, and adjust the pressure and time allotted to

This is a fascinating look (at least to me, but I love peeking behind the curtain) at how twister style popsicles are made. For those of you unfamiliar with twister popsicles, I feel sorry for you. I’m eating one right now! “Are you though?” No, I did have two limp
