Because nothing quite says gangster’s dreamworld like a resonant transformer producing high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity, this is a video of Coolio’s 1995 banger ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ performed by a trio of Tesla Coils.

This is a video demonstration of a driveway turntable (aka car turntable), designed to be able to turn a car 180-degrees so you can pull forward into and out of a driveway with no need to reverse onto the street. The car turntable was inspired by railroad turntables, which were
This is a video of Mark Rober discussing and demonstrating the five-years-in-the-making robot he and his team built that’s capable of setting up a record-breaking 100,000 dominos in 24 hours. For reference, it takes an experienced team of seven a full week to set up the same number of dominos,

You know, because that was the goal. I assume it was either this or footage from someone who swallowed a camera,
This is a video of wedding dress saleslady and TikTok user Kendall popping all her joints after an eight hour shift. How easily she cracks her neck — that’s unnerving. I’d be worried my head would just pop off if I ever rode a roller coaster. I actually do worry
