This is some footage from a manned research submarine investigating the life around a methane seep off the coast of Costa Rica when it encountered a new species (Pectinereis strickrotti) of deep sea worm, that appear to swim almost as if they’re magic carpets. Freaky! Per submarine pilot Bruce Strickrott, whom the new species was named after: “We saw two worms near each other about a sub’s length away swimming just off the bottom. We couldn’t see them well and tried to creep in for a closer look, but it’s hard to creep in a submarine and we spooked them.” So yeah, magic carpet worms, they exist. Still, I can’t help but feel that Princess Jasmine would have been far less smitten with Aladdin if he showed up riding one of these. WTF — your whole new world suuuucks. Rajah, attack!

Because ideas come in all shapes, sizes, and practicality (this one ranks incredibly low in practicality), this is a video of Drew Dirksen testing the pool float he made entirely out of red Solo cups, super glue, and packing tape. Does it float? Yes. Can it support a child? Yes. Can it support an adult with the mind of a child (read: Drew)? Just barely, and not without a lot of cups breaking. So, if you were wondering if you should build your own Solo cup pool float or just buy an inflatable on the way to your next pool party, the answer is clear: invite me to that party or I will crash it out of spite and poop in the shallow end.

This is a supercut created by video editor Thomas H. Smith of Disney Princess voice actors singing songs alongside the corresponding footage from the movies. It was a delight to watch. Watching my roommate eat his leftovers from last night for breakfast this morning? That made me sick to my stomach. They never even made it into the fridge, they just sat out open on the coffee table all night. I’m pretty sure the cats took turns sticking their heads in the containers and licking whatever was inside. To their credit though, it did look and smell like cat food.

This is a video of “movement artist” ModernTarzan (aka Nicholas Coolridge) taking a break from swinging from the tree tops to ride a skateboard through a sewer pipe, ending in a dry water runoff/makeshift skatepark where a friend tries to matador him with a flannel shirt and everyone cheers like he just landed on the moon. Admittedly, that does look fun. Knowing my luck though, the pipe I’d choose to ride would end at the top of a dam, and I still have a lot of wrongs to right before St. Peter would even consider listening to an appeal.

This is a compilation video from TikTok/Instagram user RCDriftTok highlighting his best drifting RC car tricks from the past year. There are some impressive feats in there, although they’re all very similar in execution (drift car, hit something with spoiler). Also, anything is possible if you try it a thousand times. I’m not saying that’s what happened here, but at least tens, possibly hundreds. A true testament to perseverance. If I don’t get things right the first time I just bail on the project — one and done, that’s my motto. I’m not a very successful person.

Thanks to JustA, who agrees hitting things with your car is easy, it’s avoiding them that’s the tricky part.

This is some first person point of view footage of a trip down the Kalavantin Durg Trek (not to be confused with a Drug Trek, which can be equally dangerous), a set of stone mountain stairs in India that start at an elevation of 2,300-feet and feature a 700-foot sheer drop right in front of you. In the video, it looks like it rained recently so the steps are extra wet. Me? I’m dry as a mummy. I never moisturize because I don’t like the feel of lotion on my skin. Serial killers please take note: I would make a terrible skin suit. Would you take the trip down these stairs? I would not. I occasionally get to fly in my dreams, I really don’t need to accidentally do it in real life.
