Inspired by LEGO’s 2021 typewriter set, which did not type, Youtuber Koenkun Bricks took it upon himself to make a version that actually works. And it does, just not how a traditional typewriter does. The mechanism is very impressive, and I’m blown away (FULL DISCLOSURE: I am like a dandelion
This is a video of a custom car that looks like a truck towing a trailer that’s driving in reverse. It’s not though, the trailer is actually the driving vehicle and it’s all a clever trick. It took me three views to understand what I was watching, but I got

This is a video of Youtuber Frankie Lapenna riding what he touts as “the least likely to be stolen electric bike of all time,” an e-bike that looks like an assembly of high voltage electrical boxes when not in use. The bike lowers itself down on its wheels when parked
This is a short video from Youtuber Rescue & Restore, demonstrating the functionality of a 19th century candle snuffer, a device that automatically extinguishes a candle after it’s melted to a certain point. Pretty clever. And here I thought the only way to extinguish candles was to wait for the
