Tired of arguing over who’s on whose side of the bed, Redditor jonathan881 bought himself a $40 laser line and mounted it in the bedroom to divide the bed perfectly in half. No word if the laser is powerful enough to burn an arm or leg that crosses it, but

Created by inventor Colin Furze (previously), this is a video of a skateboard with a magnetically levitating top deck to help it ride smoother. I know, I know, it’s not a hoverboard. Unfortunately, we probably won’t have real hoverboards by the time I die again. “Not with the undead warlock
