This is a very worthwhile video of Twitter user @KaoruGans0 awkwardly walking around Shibuya, Japan like he’s the main character in a 3rd person style video game, with on-screen health bar and mini-map added for extra video game realism. At one point he even accesses his inventory and puts on
This is a timelapse video from Argentinian 3-D printer manufacturer Trideo using their ~$40,000 Big-T industrial 3-D printer to create a 1 meter (~39-inch) tall castle model.

Now watch — five…four…three…two…*sees sister
This is a video of a very good dog repeatedly rebounding the basketball after its owner takes a shot. For reference, my dog Ellie won’t poop on a 30 minute walk because she’s too busy being distracted and trying to eat everything she comes across, then goes almost immediately once
This is a video from Insider discussing the evolution of Iron Man’s visual effects in Marvel movies over the past eleven years. Some more info while I pop some popcorn, and by pop some popcorn I mean make a whole box of Pillsbury Toaster Strudels AND an extra bowl of
