This is a video of chemical engineer James Orgill of The Action Lab producing what he’s dubbed dry slime — slime that has been mixed with fumed silica (available on Amazon — often used as a thickener and anticaking agent) so it forms strings that don’t want to stick to
Because some people still believe in the respectable pursuit of knowledge gained from performing well-crafted scientific experiments, this is a video of a man in a laundry basket wearing a children’s safety helmet testing the 1MPH – 9MPH speed settings on his treadmill. Honestly, I think 7MPH looked the funnest.
This is ‘A Decade Of Sun’, a timelapse of the sun using photos captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Each day of the past ten years is represented by a single second of footage, with 24 frames/second (each frame one real-time hour), for a total of 61-minutes of retina-melting
