This is a video of Aries the rescue cat, who, due to malformed joints in his back legs, appears to walk like a spider. I don’t know about you, but that’s one spider I’d gladly welcome into my home.

Aries appears to be completely aware of his disability. In fact, he is far more adventurous than many other house cats. He loves to go outside. He doesn’t mind being put in a carrier and/or harness because it means that he can run on the beach, go to the park or even go for a boat ride. He’s also very happy to stay at home where he can eat all the shrimp he wants.

Happy endings — it certainly sounds like Aries is living the life now. Me? I really don’t want to go into it, and not just because it would be depressing to compare my own life to a disabled cat’s and still draw the short straw, but I just made a spreadsheet and I’m losing in every category except ‘Doesn’t like like a spider.’

This is a video of a couple firework sorting machines doing their thing. Their thing being sorting fireworks, in case you couldn’t tell from the obvious context clues. Being a detective isn’t for everyone, you know. Just look at all those firecrackers! It’s pretty crazy to think of just how many of those are going to wind up in dude’s butts on a dare.

Because toddlers will be toddler no matter what the species, this is a video of a mama bear attempting to herd her four cubs (a rarity) across the street in Winsted, Connecticut. No sooner does she get one across the street that another heads back across the road. Kids, am I right? I bet this mama bear wishes she had leashes for all those cubs like the woman I saw at the mall over the weekend with her three kids. Although that certainly didn’t look like a good time either.

Thanks to my dad, who would almost certainly agree I was one of those unruly cubs growing up. I’m kidding, I was a golden child. Kidding again, that was my brother.

Because it’s important to be able to differentiate a robot’s smile from a sneer, this is a video of Engineered Arts’ Ameca robot (previously) demonstrating its numerous facial expressions in a mirror. It’s relatively impressive I suppose, but the best facial expression in the whole video isn’t one of Ameca’s at all, but from the guy sitting at the computer in front of it. That facial expression speaks volumes. Volumes about regret. “Shit, what the hell have I gotten myself into?!” his face is practically yelling at me.

This is MIA’s 2007 banger ‘Paper Planes’ being performed (complete with gunshots) by the characters in 210 different movies. Now that — that is some serious editing. How do people do this? And, perhaps even importantly, why do they do it? Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful they do, but I can’t help but wonder if their time would be better spent not making 210 movie characters sing songs. But what do I know? I’m just a man who’s already spent over 115 hours doing jigsaw puzzles this month alone.

How much stronger does duct tape make everyday objects? INFINITELY. And to test the tape’s strength-adding properties, the fun-loving Youtubers behind the Hydraulic Press Channel have created a video of everyday objects (including cans and plastic bottles, footballs, and a stack of Post-Its) getting crushed both in their natural state, and after being reinforced with duct tape. Wow, is there anything duct tape can’t do? Clearly, whoever invented it is foolish for naming it something as underwhelming as duct tape instead of radical magic wrap.
