These are several videos of 2024 Kendama World Cup U9 champion Naru Nishimoto demonstrating his very impressive skills with the toy. Naru was the youngest entrant in the competition and still took home the gold. And I can see why. If I had this level of hand-eye coordination I might

Carefully crafted by artist Nanako Kume, ‘Sharpener’ is a series of lampshades made from the shavings of massive colored pencils cut with a giant pencil sharpener. The colored pencils aren’t actually functional colored pencils (there’s no colored pigment in the middle), just hexagonal logs with a painted exterior. Per Nanako,

Flash mobs: apparently they’re still a thing. I’ve never actually witnessed one in real life, but based on all the videos I’ve seen, I’m fine with that.

Previously seen folding laundry, this is a video of a humanoid robot demonstrating its dexterity by autonomously loading a dishwasher. That’s cool, but I don’t really mind loading and unloading the dishwasher. The dishwasher really does all the heavy lifting as far as washing dishes is concerned. What I really

This is a video (complete with trick list) of Japanese yo-yo master Hajime Miura securing his 8th 3A World Yo-Yo World Championship with an incredible dual yo-yo performance that’s hard to wrap my head around. Wrapping a yo-yo string around my legs and tripping myself? Easy. Wrapping my head around
