This is a timelapse video of extremely ambidextrous Dutch artist Rajacenna van Dam simultaneously drawing four upside-down portraits with her hands, and two with her feet. Wow! And here I can’t butter a piece of toast without dropping it on the floor. Don’t get me wrong, I still eat it,
In bad idea news, this is a video of engineer Allen Pan building robotic legs so a snake can experience every snake’s lifelong dream of walking. Should we be giving snakes robotic legs? Of course not, but that’s not going to stop somebody from doing it for the Youtube views,
This is a video captured by an unmanned submersible operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration team featuring a whiplash squid swimming in ‘marine snow’ at a depth of around 1,100 meters (3,609-feet, about 7/10ths of a mile). It’s not actually snow though, it’s delicious, nutritious

These are a couple videos of athlete Dmitry Politov brutally reminding me just how out of shape I am and performing several human flags by jumping up and attaching himself to vertical poles with just his feet (aka toe-hooking). If you’re interested in badly injuring yourself, the second video is
Because I’m not really sure why, but there’s definitely no excuse for it, this is a video of ‘The Prayer’, a robotic mouth developed by conceptual scientist Diemut Strebe at MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology that endlessly sings AI-generated prayers. It was developed “to explore the possibilities of
