This is a video of a man who was never warned not to microwave an egg with the shell on (or was and decided to throw caution to the wind) removing an egg from the microwave and setting it on the kitchen counter, where it promptly explodes. A real eggsplosion. Wow, I’ve been waiting 16 years to include that in an article, and, I’m going to be honest, it hardly feels worth the wait. I can only imagine how you’re feeling right now.

This is a video captured by the kind folks of the Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center veterinary hospital in Roanoke of a female opossum growling, presumably upset about having to deal with a trip to the doctor. I’m right there with you, Ms. Opossum. The video claims most people haven’t heard the sound of an opossum growling, which means most people aren’t nearly as inquisitive as I am. They get louder the longer you hug them.

We snapped this really quick video of this #virginiaopossum while we got her out to get give her a check-up exam. Most people have never heard this crazy sound #opossums make which is why we thought it would be fun to share! pic.twitter.com/8YPwPS6rJo

This is a video of mad engineer Shane of Youtube channel Stuff Made Here (previously) attaching a chainsaw to an industrial robotic arm and programming it to carve a dog sculpture out of a block of foam. Its first effort is an absolute disaster, but the second dog it produces is actually pretty decent. Still, regardless of how impressive it may be, attaching a chainsaw to a robotic arm should be illegal. I mean what if I did this? “Bloodstained garage and a trip to the ER.” Exactly, and how am I supposed to explain that to my parents without getting grounded?

This is a very appropriate sounding bardcore cover of REM’s 1991 banger ‘Losing My Religion’, performed by Algal The Bard (previously). The bardcore version works very well, and if I were listening to this in a medieval tavern I wouldn’t hesitate to toss a silver coin into Algal’s lute case, then proceed to relieve myself in the corner and get beat up by a witcher.

This is a Great Big Story about Terry “Turbo” Burrows, the world’s fastest window cleaner. It’s actually a pretty interesting watch, and includes Terry detailing his daily regimen of getting up, drinking four cups of coffee, playing video games, then practicing cleaning a window he set up in his shed. Some quotes include, “It’s my life’s passion,” and, “You have to be tunnel visioned, which I have been.” Plus my personal favorite, “I plan to go out the world as the fastest window cleaner on the planet. So if any aliens are up there… um, that would be cool, you can come down, take me on.” You hear that, aliens?! Terry is going to TAKE YOU DOWN. No fair if you have four arms or can clean windows with your mind though.

This is a video of Theo Jansen’s latest Strandbeest: a caterpillar that’s pulled behind another wind-powered mechanical sculpture, inch-worming its way across the sand. Could you imagine if you were enjoying a pleasant beach day and a Strandbeest walked by? That would be wild. Even wilder if it tried to steal your snacks and you had to fight it!
