Because I’m fascinated with skeletons (we all have one) this is ‘Shredding Light’, a stop-motion light painting video created by artist Darren Pearson (aka DariusTwin, previous work seen here) of skeletons riding skateboards. It’s a fun watch, and I can’t even imagine how long it took to make because Darren
Because the oceans are probably the best thing that ever happened to earth (humanity ranks dead last), this is a beautiful visualization of the earth’s ocean currents according to NASA’s ECCO (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) model, developed using data from spacecraft, buoys, and other measurements. Was
This is a timelapse of a 3D printer platform built by Youtuber multipoleguy that adds an additional two axes (not golden though) to a typical 3-axis printer’s movement, allowing prints “with up to a 70º overhang in all directions, reducing the need for support structures.” That’s something.

This is a short video of some intrepid spelunkers who discovered a bunch of crystals growing in a cave that, when stroked, sound like a harp. That’s something. Something you probably shouldn’t be touching because you just summoned a balrog. Hope you brought a wizard! @cave.chronicles Magical Crystal Sounds ♬
Because Mother Nature is totally nuts (she tried showing her b00bs once but I declined BECAUSE I WAS AT DINNER WITH MY PARENTS), this is a video featuring the sound of 500,000 king penguins doing their thing on South Georgia Island, northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The sound was captured
