Man Chopping Wood With A Chain Flail Axe

Man Chopping Wood With A Chain Flail Axe

Because sometimes you just have to get medieval on a stump, this is a video of modern Hobbit Jacob of Youtube channel Cabinland chopping wood using a chain flail axe he made. Per Jason: “The advantages of the flail axe are numerous. The build up of kinetic energy achieved through centripetal acceleration, increases the striking force of the double-bit head. Thus, little effort is needed to achieve a powerful swing. The long handle, which is twice the length of the chain, provides ample area for one’s striking hand to be safely placed without fear of it being struck by the blade. Upon impact, force is dissipated through the chain, transferring little to no shockwave to one’s hand or body.” That’s cool, but if you were wondering if this is a good choice for chopping wood after a handful of beers, just remember you’re about one minute away from needing emergency medical treatment, but two hours from the nearest hospital.

Haute Couture Dress Doubles As Tablecloth At Copenhagen Fashion Week

Haute Couture Dress Doubles As Tablecloth At Copenhagen Fashion Week

Because what’s a more relatable fashion statement than food stains (just check out my shirt), this is a video of a model at the (Di)vision show at Copenhagen Fashion Week closing out the show by standing up and walking out of the ballroom to reveal her dress is actually the table cloth! Wow, how avante-garde. It’s not like I haven’t been using my shirt as both bib AND tablecloth for years now. It’s a napkin too! And a tissue. And probably a public health hazard. SIX FEET, PEOPLE, PATIENT ZERO COMING THROUGH.

Drone Video Flying Straight Down The Exterior Of The Burj Khalifa In Dubai

Drone Video Flying Straight Down The Exterior Of The Burj Khalifa In Dubai

Because who hasn’t dreamed of what it would look like swan diving off the tallest building in the world, this is a video from a drone flying down the exterior of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It’s hard to believe this is real. The building, and just Dubai in general. It looks like footage from a super realistic city-building simulator, where the goal is to do as much coke as your nose can hold and build the most insane city possible. Nicely done, Dubai.

Furious Tennis Player Smashes Three Rackets In A Row

Furious Tennis Player Smashes Three Rackets In A Row

This is a video (that I’ve watched at least a dozen times studying the faces of the people in the arena) of tennis player Alexander Bublik smashing three rackets in a row after losing a point to Grégoire Barrère in the 2023 Open Sud de France. His God Of War rage meter must have been full! Still, that’s poor sportsmanship, and maybe if you were as good at playing tennis as you are at breaking rackets this wouldn’t have happened.

Building A Split Rear Wheel Motorcycle

Building A Split Rear Wheel Motorcycle

Inspired by The Q’s previously posted bicycle version, Sean Kerr and friends at Youtube channel Bikes And Beards decided to try building a motorcycle with a split back wheel. They do an okay job, but I’ve got the feeling they didn’t build the bike with the same precision engineering as The Q, because that thing rides like you’re constantly running over bodies. Great for training for the zombie apocalypse, not so much for pre-apocalypse everyday driving.

You Monster: Guy Throws Disposable Contacts Behind Bed Every Night

You Monster: Guy Throws Disposable Contacts Behind Bed Every Night

Because people are, by nature, filthy animals, this is a shot of the floor behind Redditor FireRotor’s bed, where he throws his disposable contacts every night. I like the few that are clinging to the wall, like they think they’re better than the rest of those floor contacts. In his post, FireRotor originally tried to blame his girlfriend for the contacts, before coming clean and admitting it was him. Talk about red flags! But at least not pink eyes. I just showed this to my girlfriend and she threw up in her mouth a little, but thankfully didn’t try to baby bird it to me like this disgusting monster probably would have.
