This is a video of the Great Ball Contraption (GBC) of Japan Brickfest 2025, constructed using 49 different ball-moving LEGO modules from eight master LEGO builders. The machine spans a very respectable 31 meters (102 feet). Damn, that is a lot of ball moving! Me? When I’m uncomfortable at the

This is a video of the fun-loving Aussies of How Ridiculous dropping thousands of soccer balls and bouncy balls from a drop tower, crane, and helicopter. This is the kind of thing I wish I did for a living. But nooooo, I have to show up at a factory and

Presumably to pitch a remake of The Big Lebowski (the original is perfect!), this is a video of the Corridor Crew putting a 360-degree camera inside a clear bowling ball to get some cool bowling footage, as well as a trip through the ball return. Unfortunately, the crew made the

Always one to push personal transportation to the limit, this is a video of engineer James Bruton (seen previously constructing a personal AT-AT walker) building an omni-directional bike that sits on two giant balls. It works beautifully. And speaking of giant balls– “Elephants?” NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES. Up to 2,200-pounds!

This is some insane GoPro helmetcam footage of firefighter Joseth Abel Espinosa of Santiago, Chile battling a raging house fire. It’s nuts. Thankfully, there were no casualties in the fire except for the house, which burnt to an absolute crisp. Kinda like how my roommate cooks everything. Honestly, I’m surprised
