This is a video of Tom Scott riding a hovercraft developed by Hideyasu Ito, a single person unit that floats on four very precisely created bubbles of air. It’s definitely impressive, but still — if this is as advanced as personal hovercrafts can get, I think it’s time we ditch
Heralding a new, medieval era of rickrolling, this is a video of bardcore musician Algal the Bard performing Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ using traditional instruments of medieval times. *throws half-gnawed boar bone at bard, brandishes sword* How dareth thee, thou foul trickst’r!

Proof that distance means nothing to true friendship, these are a couple videos of BFFs Sadie and Rollo catching up by whining and howling at each other over FaceTime. Sadie and Rollo used to live together, but after their owners got places of their own further away, they now FaceTime
This is a video of engineer and maker of things The Q building and riding a bike with square wheels. Not the square wheels you’d expect though, instead of rattling all your teeth out of your head when you ride it, the wheels are actually treaded, which allows for an
