This is a video of dancer Hittesh Patel demonstrating his skills with a couple very impressive tutting performances (tutting references King Tut, because the angular hand movements resemble the poses seen in ancient Egyptian stone reliefs). Now that is some serious coordination. I can’t even walk and chew gum. Pat
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
This is a video of natefromtheinternet popping a balloon full of Heinz ketchup to demonstrate its unique properties. Namely, that it’s a non-Newtonian fluid (a fluid whose viscosity changes depending on the amount of force or pressure applied to it), and, unlike cornstarch and water which becomes almost solid under
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
In news that shouldn’t surprise anybody who’s ever been tasked with working with other people, large groups of ants were able to solve the piano mover’s puzzle better than large human groups in recent experiments conducted by the Weizmann Institute. The study found that individually or in small groups humans
Because you’ve got to have a shtick to bring in the crowds, hot pot restaurant owner Ms. Qin acts like a humanoid robot while serving patrons at her Chongqing, China dining establishment. She’s good too. If I didn’t know better (and I don’t based on how often I’m just scared
This is a beautifully made stop motion video by slopsmcgee (aka Greg Saniatan) of him making a LEGO vase in the style you’d make an actual vase out of clay on a potter’s wheel. I love stuff like this. I wasn’t going to internet today, but I’m glad I did.
Because there’s nothing you can’t do with LEGO, this is a video from the Brick Experiment Channel (previously), this time engineering LEGO cars to cross increasingly narrower bridges, eventually crossing just a string stretched between two tables. The solutions to balancing the vehicles while crossing the bridges are quite ingenious.
