Rube Goldberg Machine Sets A Romantic Picnic

Rube Goldberg Machine Sets A Romantic Picnic

Because doing things the hard, entirely too complicated way is the only way as far as I’m concerned, this is a video of a Rube Goldberg machine capable of setting up a romantic picnic for two. Or maybe more, heck, why not just make this a Roman orgy, we’ve already got the wine and finger foods.

Keep going for the video, actual successful run-through is at 3:05. Prior to that is explaining how all the pieces work, and after that are all the fails it had (101) before pulling off a successful picnic.

Upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie Gets A Trailer

Upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie Gets A Trailer

This is a trailer for the upcoming (April 7th, 2023) animated The Super Mario Bros. Movie being released by Nintendo and animation studio Illumination. It looks promising, and features an all-star voice cast including Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen. But can we get them to change Mario’s look like the same way we did Sonic? He doesn’t look right to me. Also I wouldn’t complain if they decided to make it rated R and included some brief nudity. I’m thinking Toad and Peach.

Awww: Doorbell Cam Captures Owner’s Heartwarming Reunion With Missing Cat

Awww: Doorbell Cam Captures Owner's Heartwarming Reunion With Missing Cat

Indoor cats: it’s scary when they get out. As was the case when Roxy Heinhorst’s 5-year old tabby Oliver ran out the door when she was leaving for work in a hurry one morning. Only Roxy didn’t realize the cat had escaped until reviewing the doorbell cam footage after returning home that afternoon and realizing the cat was missing, when panic ensued. She left Oliver’s favorite blanket on the porch but he was nowhere to be found. This is a video of Roxy finally being reunited with Oliver later that evening. Happy endings. The lesson here? Never leave for work in a hurry — it’s just not worth it. If you’re running late just say you were exposed to the rona and stay home for three days like a normal person.

Glass-Bottom Water Slide Ride In China

Glass-Bottom Water Slide Ride In China

This is a first person POV video of someone riding a glass-bottom water slide attraction in Tianjin, China. The glass walls I understand, but I feel like the glass bottom was probably necessary. It’s kind of hard to see through the water AND glass below you. Cool CONCEPT though, like the glass-bottom car I invented when I was a kid. *shrug* Who knew blurry pavement would be so boring.

Keep going for this video (which unfortunately does not end with a log flume drop), as well as a scarier one of a glass-bottom slide that hugs the side of a cliff.

Man’s Extreme Workout Jumping Spider Push-Up Routine

Man's Extreme Workout Jumping Spider Push-Up Routine

This is a video of an extreme health and fitness enthusiast demonstrating his hardcore push-up routine, one that appears to incorporate all the physical energy I’d typically exert over the course of two to three weeks. Wow, I’m out of breath just watching. AND my wrists and ankles hurt. Not sure what’s up with the boner, but I assume all this imaginary working out really got my blood flowing.

A US Map Of The Most Popular Grocery Store Chain In Each State

A US Map Of The Most Popular Grocery Store Chain In Each State

This is a US map highlighting the alleged most popular grocery store chain in each state according to a questionably conducted survey by ‘information insights platform Wise Voter‘. That’s cool, but what about the states without a grocery store listed — what about them? Do people in Vermont and Alaska live entirely off maple syrup and salmon alone? And even if they do, is it any unhealthier than the six years of college I lived off of King Size Snickers bars and Nesquik?
