Using a “hard to acquire” laser diode (I suspect the black market was heavily involved), Youtuber styropyro went and built what is allegedly the world’s brightest laser pointer. Based on that photo alone, I’m apt to believe him. The green laser is so bright “you need welder’s goggles to be

The sort of theme you’d expect to hear if Ethan Hunt wore overalls and chewed tobacco, and his impossible mission was preventing the authorities from discovering his moonshine

Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down. Trust me, I did a lot of experimenting as a kid. And now Colin Furze has gone and transformed himself into a real-life Weeble using a piece of semi-spherical molded concrete and a harness to attach himself to it. That looks like fun.

Because the whole world is a lot of ground to cover in one night, this is a video of Santa’s little helper Robert ‘Crazy Rocketman’ Maddox (previously) demonstrating a new rocket-powered sleigh he designed for the jolly gift-bringer. So, if you were wondering why Santa doesn’t come this year, it’s
