This is a video from the PressTube channel of YETI and Stanley mugs being filled with 1600°C molten hell to see which one lasts longer. I’m not sure if these test results would be permissible in court though, because the mugs appear to be different sizes, with the Stanley filled
This is a visualization from Global Data (some really hard-hitting data here) comparing the sizes of various monsters and aliens from pop culture movies, shows, and video games. It begins with the tiny soot sprites from Hayao Miyazaki movies, and ends with the 10.45-trillion light year wide Super Tengen Toppa
This is a video of former NASA engineer Mark Rober pitting a Tesla’s camera-based autopilot feature against a Lexus’s LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging, which uses lasers to measure distances and create 3D maps) to see which operates safer. The Lexus passes all six tests (stationary child in road, running
Because percussion makes everything better (besides a headache), this is a video of musician Joe Porter (previously) performing the iconic guitar lick from Weezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’ on 31 unusual instruments. “In a row?” IN A ROW.

This is a 3D visualization created by Global Data featuring the scale of various objects in the universe, beginning with subatomic particles, then covering animals and manmade objects and landmarks we’re all familiar with here on earth before traveling into space, ending with the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall. The Great

This is a visualization created by Red Side comparing the speed of the fastest manmade vehicles and other objects in different categories (e.g. fastest motorcycle, fastest jet aircraft, fastest space probe). It provides both 1st and 3rd person views, and begins with the fastest vehicles ever driven on Mars, the
This is an informative video from Peter Schmiedchen of What If? detailing how many Earths could fit inside the planets in our solar system that are larger than Earth, and how many of Earth’s moons could fit inside the planets that are smaller than Earth. I learned a lot by
