Inspired by AI slop images, engineer Allen Pan (previously) decided to try building an aquarium toilet in real life. The result? A surprisingly functional aquarium toilet. If I’d tried building it? An unsurprisingly unfunctional aquarium toilet and $18K of water damage in the basement. BONUS AI slop beer boots made

This is a video of LEGO experimenter Brick Technology (previously) pitting LEGO cars against increasingly larger loopty loops. It was a fun watch with surprisingly high production value, and this is the exact sort of experimenting I wish I spent my weekends doing. But nooooo, I spent the entirety of

Because why buy 2-liters of Coca-Cola when you can spend a whole year and small fortune trying to make it yourself at home (do Mentos next!), this is a video documenting engineer Zach Armstrong’s quest to replicate the exact Coca-Cola formula. Zach uses mass spectrometry to determine the chemical composition

This is an entirely non-CGI video created by He Tongxue of HTX Studio featuring a piano keyboard attached to a tank filled with bioluminescent algae. As the piano is played it releases air bubbles, disturbing the algae and making them glow around the bubbles as they travel to the top.

Because the robot apocalypse can’t come soon enough, this is a video of a T800 (yes, seriously) humanoid robot built by Chinese robotics company Shenzhen EngineAI Robotics Technology Co. (EngineAI for short) kicking the company’s CEO to the ground to prove previously posted videos of the robot weren’t CGI. How

This is a video of laser and high-voltage experimenter StyroPyro (who I don’t wish lived next door, but do wish lived in the neighborhood) constructing the most powerful handheld laser — a liquid-cooled blaster 50,000X more powerful than a typical laser pointer. Damn! He then tests to see what it

This is a video of Morley Kert building a mini library in the wall of the landing of his stairs (technically his landlord’s stairs), complete with a secret door that takes a special combination to unlock. That’s whimsical. And you know how I feel about whimsy! “It’s your middle name.”

This is a cross-section of a chainsaw doing its thing filmed at 20,000 frames per second. It’s so mesmerizing to watch it’s almost easy to forget that thing will take my leg off. Won’t you, chainsaw? WON’T YOU?! It really wants to, I can tell. I made the mistake of
