This is the video of the Slow Mo Guys banging a drum covered in a rainbow of paint powder to capture the movement of the pigment in ultra slow motion as the shockwaves blast it all over the place. I can’t imagine this being a rainbow anybody would want to
Because some people refuse to go to sleep at night without having their nagging questions answered (do storks bring the babies or not?!), this is is a video of Youtuber Cal Pal testing which basic 3D shapes are the most aerodynamic using physics vehicle simulator BeamNG.drive. He tops ten go-karts
This is a video demonstration of a Tamagotchi inspired virtual pet “torture chamber” created by Cornell University design students Rhea Goswami, Caroline Hohner, and Amanda Huang.

Did you know an estimated 264,000 gallons of urine are splashed out of urinals daily? That is not a pool I would want to swim in. Not even dip my toes. To help prevent return fire, these are a few new urinal designs created and tested by scientists with the
This is some footage of a rarely seen sun candle (aka subsun), an optical phenomenon that occurs when sunlight is reflected off flat ice crystals in the atmosphere and appear as a beam resembling a giant candle flame. Are we sure that’s what it is though? Because I really think
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
This is a video of unorthodox entertainer Michael Rayner (aka brokenjuggler, previously seen here) rolling a hamburger around a Japanese style parasol until it sheds its burger wrapper and eventually launches its pickles into the parking lot. What a showman! Just don’t tell my girlfriend, she’d fight you for wasting
