Because frozen pizzas serve as the entire base of my personal food pyramid, this is a video tour inside a factory that makes my dinner standard. I already know what I’m having tonight! “Frozen pizza?” No, but only because I bought two new boxes of cereal on my lunch break
This is the entirety of The Clash’s 1979 album London Calling, but nothing but the lead vocals, as isolated by recording engineer ieatmdf. Wait — medium-density fibreboard? That can’t be a healthy diet. If you’re a Clash fan the video is definitely worth a listen — I particularly liked hearing
This is a beautiful timelapse video captured by BoxLapse of a yellow habanero pepper plant growing over the course of 165 days, beginning as just a tiny seed. Things take almost a month to really start going, but by two months its growing strong, and by 168 days, TA-DA! —

This is a video of a Singaporean foursome performing a choreographed indoor skydiving routine at the 2023 World Indoor Skydiving Championships, complete with a bunch of flips and twists and hand-holding and all sorts of other fun stuff. You know, I’ve always considered trying this indoor skydiving thing, but I’m
These are several video examples of artist Damien Beneteau’s Spherical Variations, chrome and matte black balls on a pendulum that pass through a lit portal, producing some pretty trippy visuals in the process. And you know how I feel about trippy visuals! “They scare you.” They’re absolutely terrifying. Isn’t life
