Car Cruising Down Highway With Gas Pump Attached

Car Cruising Down Highway With Gas Pump Attached

This is a video from a New Hampshire highway of a teen cruising along completely oblivious that he tore the gas pump handle out and has it dangling from his vehicle. Now I’m no in-car driving test examiner, but this is an automatic fail in my book. Personally, I never leave the gas pump unattended, but that’s just me and I have to be ready to hose any would-be mugger. Still, I wonder how many times a day this happens. And, I wonder how many times it’s my high school girlfriend’s mom Mrs. B, who did this twice in the time we were dating. “How long did you date?” Tuesday to Saturday!

Bad Ideas: Fast Food Employees Put Ice In Deep Fryer

Bad Ideas: Fast Food Employees Put Ice In Deep Fryer

Because what fun is working at a fast food restaurant if you can’t make dangerous or exposé-style TikTok videos about how the food is actually made, these are a couple short clips of workers dropping baskets full of ice into deep fryers and watching them boil over, with the smoke alarm going off in one of them. Good times. And by good times I mean I’ve been sitting here for fifteen minutes waiting for somebody to take my order! “That’s a gas pump.” Finally! Is your shake machine working?

Thanks to JustA, who agrees if you’re going to experiment with deep frying things, at least stick to snack foods.

Trauma Surgeon Breaks Down All 30 Injuries In First Two Home Alone Movies

Trauma Surgeon Breaks Down All 30 Injuries In First Two Home Alone Movies

This is a video from WIRED of delightful trauma surgeon Annie Onishi giving a breakdown of all thirty of Harry and Marv’s injuries from Home Alone and Home Alone II: Lost in New York, discussing in detail the actual damage that would have been done to them as a result. As it turns out, the movie was not very accurate, and Harry and Marv would be dead many times over due to Kevin’s booby traps. I know, I’m as shocked as you are. But speaking of booby traps– “Honey between your girlfriend’s breasts and pretending you’re a fly?” It’s at the top of my Christmas list!

Three Dogs Jump Across Road In Three Different Styles

Three Dogs Jump Across Road In Three Different Styles

This is a video of three Border Collies enjoying a run in the Lake District of northwestern England and each jumping a road in their own style. One takes the high road, one takes the low road, and one takes the middle-ground, nose-diving into the side of the hill in the process. That would have been me. Also, is this what passes for a road in the Lake District of northwestern England? Because, I’ll be honest, that’s waaaaay nicer than some of the publicly- maintained roads around here.

Guy Adds Three Jet Engines To His Tesla To Test 0-60MPH Time

Guy Adds Three Jet Engines To His Tesla To Test 0-60MPH Time

Because more power (back me up, Tim ‘The Toolman’ Taylor), this is a video of Matt Mikka of Warped Perception adding three jet engines to his Tesla Model S P85D to see how they affect the car’s 0 – 60MPH time. On his first run without the jet engines activated he runs a 4.38 seconds, with two subsequent runs with jet power on with 3.32 seconds, and 3.43 seconds. Matt says that due to the cold he was unable to get the traction he wanted, and he’s confident when he reruns the test when it’s warmer out he’ll be able to hit 0 – 60 MPH in under two seconds easily. Now that’s fast. For reference, my car feels like it’s going to shake itself apart at anything over 55MPH, and if it’s also windy out I don’t feel safe driving at all.

Keep going for the video, complete with aircraft throttles for controlling the engines, with the 0 – 60 action beginning at 15:20 and jet engine runs at 16:15.

Burning Fractals Into Wood With A Lichtenberg Machine

Burning Fractals Into Wood With A Lichtenberg Machine

This is a video of reader and Youtuber Gary Kats burning fractals into wood using a homemade Lichtenberg machine built from an old microwave transformer, who apparently didn’t make the cut for the Autobot’s varsity team. Gary then fills the burnt fractals with colored epoxy resin to create a beautiful coffee table. How about that! My coffee table? My coffee table is less colorful fractals and more coffee rings on pizza boxes. Is there even a table beneath the mess, or is it just pizza boxes all the way down? I honestly can’t remember, but I fear the worst.
