This a clip of 14-year old Dev Shah clenching victory in the 2023 Scripps National Spelling Bee by correctly spelling ‘psammophile’ (pronounced sam-a-file, a plant or animal that prefers or thrives in sandy areas). He knew from the very start that he had it. Way to go, Dev. For reference,

Because you don’t know until you try (and even after you’re usually left unsure), this is a video of Youtuber The Q building a pair of rollerblades that each have a large bike wheel attached. It looks like a wheelchair with no seat. That’s…something. Something you’ll see me riding at

This is a video of tennis player Daria Kasatkina performing a smooth-as-silk between the legs shot for a point during a recent French Open match, undoubtedly demoralizing her opponent Markéta Vondroušová enough to secure a second round victory.

And what goodness it was! Except for the song he chose for the soundtrack, I’m pretty sure that

This is a video of a Singaporean foursome performing a choreographed indoor skydiving routine at the 2023 World Indoor Skydiving Championships, complete with a bunch of flips and twists and hand-holding and all sorts of other fun stuff. You know, I’ve always considered trying this indoor skydiving thing, but I’m

This is a video of rollerblader AIR DAMON performing a high speed basketball dunk off a ramp for some insanely high flying, ball slamming action. That was nuts. Also, they should totally start a rollerblading basketball league. Or maybe one already exists, I don’t know, I have bad ankles. I
