This is a video from WIRED highlighting the life and skills of Josh Jacobs, a man who’s taken Slinky manipulation to the next level. Some of the tricks he’s able to perform with a Slinky are most impressive. Me? I have no interest in manipulating Slinkys, only friends and coworkers. “It’s borderline sociopathic.” Honey! “Thank God he isn’t half as smart or slick as he thinks he is.” I’M RIGHT HERE.

This is a video from the Tokay Stakes 2023 in Nagoya, Japan of Number 5 horse Vanyar losing its jockey right at the starting gate, running the whole race by itself, and winning. Unfortunately for Vanyar, horses that finish jockeyless are disqualified, so 2nd place (normally the first loser) took home the blue ribbon instead. That’s a shame. “Stupid humans, who needs them or their rules,” I imagine Vanyar thinking to himself before peeing like six gallons.

Because anything is possible with enough time spent staring at a computer monitor, Youtuber on4word recreated the entirety of Radiohead’s 2007 album ‘In Rainbows’ using only sound effects from Super Mario 64 (also available on Bandcamp HERE). Wow — this guy must really love Super Mario AND Radiohead. It would be even harder-core though if he actually hated both and this project drove him to madness.

This is some home security cam footage of a young driver who, exiting the house, notices he’s blocked in and even acknowledges it with a “I’m blocked in, dude.” Then he gets in his truck and immediately backs into the car that was blocking him in like he has the memory of a goldfish. The car he hit then rolls into the street (was it in neutral?!) while he runs after it. Thankfully, passing traffic had much more wherewithal than he did and stops for the runaway vehicle. Still, despite my instance, he refuses to give me the name of who took his driver’s test for him, or take a piss test.

Presumably made to help aid in my decision of choosing a new battle mount, this is a visualization created by Global Data comparing the sizes of various animals both extant and extinct. I gathered a lot of useful information watching it, and not just that I’ve been spelling polar bear wrong all my life. For air battles, I’d choose the Hatzegopteryx. For dry land, a T-rex or Paraceratherium. And if it’s a sea battle, well, I’m riding Ursula. What she lacks in size and teeth compared to a megalodon she more than makes up for in sea witch magic and massages.

This is some doorbell cam footage of a bird coming to the door, pecking around for a bit, then ringing the bell and flying off once it sounds. Then the owner comes out looking all confused because there isn’t anobody, or any packages, there. Without the doorbell cam footage to review he might very well think his house is haunted. Or that some neighborhood kids are playing a prank. Or, if he’s one of my neighbors, that a drunk and bored middle-aged man is playing a prank. I’m gonna TP a house tonight if I don’t pass out on the sofa first!
