This is a timelapse video of a skinned watermelon speeding from beautiful Picnictown to Puke City, USA over the course of two minutes. In real-time Youtuber Photo Owl Time Lapse let nature take its course over 33 days, with most of the decomposition happening by day six, and the melon
Because this is the internet and the internet’s job is showing you things you didn’t know you needed to see and would have been fine not, this is a video of Furry Fritz the cat lapping up milk from a glass table, as viewed from below. That tongue is wild!

This is a video of pastry chef and chocolatier Amaury Guichon (previously) making an incredibly intricate — and delicate — nautilus sculpture entirely from chocolate. Wow! The process is pretty fascinating, and includes layering chocolate on semi-inflated balloons to form semi-spherical shapes. I wonder how much time in total it
This is a clip from the 2018 (those were different times, weren’t they?) Miss World pageant of all the contestants introducing themselves in alphabetically order when they get to Miss France Eva Colas and she produces a hoarsely guttural FRAWNCE! I feel like I was just verbally assaulted by a
