This is a video from a Mr Mikes SteakhouseCasual (also great for steak-eating records) in Ontario, Canada of Abbetjes Meindert de Boer’s world record Jenga tower — a total of 3,132 blocks supposed by a single vertical block at the bottom. That bottom block must be feeling so much pressure!
This is a video of heavy breather Sergey Tsyrulnikov setting the Guinness World Record for most hot water bottles burst in 1 minute via overinflating with breath, with a respectable nine. Of course that’s all the water bottles there were on the table, so thank goodness he didn’t finish them
This is a video from Great Big Story highlighting the life of world record setting speedrunner Bubzia, who speedruns video games while blindfolded. His biggest achievement to date? Completing a 120-star speedrun of Super Mario 64 in a single 11 hour and 22 minute sitting. Good lord. For reference, the

Further proof there’s nothing you can’t build with LEGO, this is a video of Youtuber Banana Gear Studios constructing and demonstrating a small omnidirectional treadmill. It’s crazy the way the pieces just seem to float around the rotating spindle floor. How people come up with stuff like this is beyond
Because bad ideas come in all shapes and sizes, this is a video of Youtuber Gregulations constructing a motorcycle version of a penny farthing using a Yamaha YZF-R6 and a bunch of custom built parts. Despite having training wheels, the resulting cycle has deathtrap written all over it, and at
