Constructed by Joseph of Joseph’s Machines in partnership with LEGO (heck yeah, get that LEGO money!), this is a video of a Rube Goldberg machine featuring a LEGO Mario Kart race. Who wins in the end? We do, because that was delightful. But also Mario, because Mario always wins. Unless

This is a video of Gav from The Slow Mo Guys capturing the movement of a watch using a Laowa microscopic lens and a high speed camera at up to 10,000 frames/second. The way all those gears move — amazing, albeit not as precise as I expected. They just sort
