This is an absolutely stunning (I love nature) timelapse of various species of Echinopsis cacti displaying their brief annual blooms, most of which last only a single night. Very cool. Me? I’m more into tropical plants and bromeliads, but running in plant circles I know a lot of cactus people

These are several TikTok videos from Riley Hansen, who lives in an old school. Apparently he and several others bought the building and land for only $15,000 (a steal!) and have put about $100,000 into it so far making it more hospitable. I don’t know about you, but I would

This is a video of Adam Savage designing, building, and testing a dart shooting helmet (built using D-DART Pro Blasters, Amazon link), complete with revolving warning light on top and a laser sight. As far as dart-shooting helmets go, this is probably the best one I’ve seen. Of course it’s

This is a video of a piece of steel being formed into a giant glowing coil at a steel mill. Obviously, your first reaction was, “My God I want to play with that Slinky.” And you totally should. Go ahead — pick it up. Speaking of picking things up, I

This is a surprisingly worthwhile video of a very impressive Hot Wheels track built with a waterpark theme, complete with waterfalls and sections where the car is actually floating like it’s in a log flume ride. Did I hold my hands up the whole time, even for the big drop

This is a video of a flamboyant cuttlefish (like that’s what it’s actually called, not because I think it’s doing jazz hands all the time) demonstrating its hypnotic color and pattern-changing abilities (the screencap doesn’t do it justice) while trying to signal the mothership to beam it up and return
