This is a timelapse video created by Youtuber Another Perspective capturing crystals forming after adding vitamin C and beta alanin to water and alcohol. Is that meth? Those are some pretty crystals. Now, grow me some kryptonite, I have a lot of evil that needs doing and I don’t want
This is a video of Youtuber How To Make Everything constructing the sawmill detailed in Leonardo Da Vinci’s notebook in 1478, using only tools and methods that existed back then (read: no power tools, makes his own nails). He does use a water pump to replicate a river though to

This is a video of Otis the tamandua anteater at the San Diego Zoo showing off his 16-inch tongue as he grabs some grubs at the bottom of a giant clear straw. Damn, that tongue is wild. Could you imagine if you had a tongue like that? I can’t. I
