These are a couple clips from a recent NBA game between the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers, where the Pacers used a filter to make Lakers fans on the jumbotron look like they were crying at the very end of the game with the Pacers up 19 points. Obviously, every professional sports stadium is going to start doing this because how could you not? Probably unbeknownst to the creators at the time, this is exactly why those filters were invented in the first place. Well, except the one that makes you look like a dancing hot dog. That one was made for sexting.

This is a clip from BBC Earth and my main man knight Sir David Attenborough highlighting the web-slinging capabilities of Darwin’s bark spider. The spider is capable of blasting a continuous fan of webbing that catches the wind like a sail and can cross a body of water up to 25-meters (~82-feet across). And just when you thought you were safe from spiders on an island in the stream. Darwin’s bark spider silk is also recognized as the world’s strongest natural fiber. So, if you were wondering what I’ll be sewing my underwear out of from now on, it’s Darwin’s bark spider silk. I’m kidding, they’ll be old t-shirts and bedsheets like they’ve always been.

Keep going for the fascinating video, which does include some closeup web-shooting for you weirdos.

Presumably determined to never get spun around by a red shell or banana peel again, this is a video of a dude cruising around in his homemade 19-tire go kart (I partiand a coffin-shaped gas tank right behind the seat). ULTRA TRACTION. Although most of those tires look like they’re in absolutely piss-poor shape. Personally, I’d prefer four good tires to 19 sh1tty ones, but that’s just me and I’d honestly prefer a jetpack to any tires, and monster truck tires to any other tires.

This is some footage from EarthCam of the Statue Of Liberty shaking during the recent 4.8 magnitude earthquake that hit New Jersey. I’m surprised none of those ant-people on the ground didn’t take off running. When in doubt, run — that’s my motto, and why I’m often seen sprinting. The shaking is nothing that crazy, it’s just a little wild to see her moving like that. I mean it’s not like it was so extreme her toga slipped down and exposed a boob. Now THAT would have been something. Maybe if there’s a 6.0.

This is a video of a little mouse peering out of its hiding spot in a stove, deciding that the coast is clear (despite the fact there’s a person standing right there filming), and stealing an OREO before quickly retreating back to its hidey hole. PLEASE NOTE: I will accept any cookies baked in that oven for fear the chocolate chip cookies are NOT chocolate chips. Would it be the first time I’ve eaten mouse sh1t? Of course not, but I’m still trying to keep my intake to a minimum to keep my doctor off my back. *sniffing* Why’s it smell like burning fur in here?

As a means of marketing their jet suits, Gravity Industries recently held the world’s first jet suit races in Dubai. Eight competitors competed two at a time in roughly 60-second races around 12 pylons set up in the water, with the five fastest advancing to the finals. Racers reached speeds up to 85MPH, and at least one found himself taking an unintentional swim (that race starts at 10:40). If you only watch one part of the video though just watch the final race at 32:20 (video SHOULD autoplay there). It’s pretty crazy to see. Still, I’m holding out for a jetpack with more than 5 minutes of flight. I figure I need at least 20 minutes of flight time. You know, for foreplay and all. “Um, what?” Don’t act like you’ve never dreamed of making love like a falcon.
