This is a video from explainer of things Tom Scott taking a tour of and discussing the last aerial ropeway in England, one built in the 1920’s that’s operated by Claughton Brickworks in Lancashire. The ropeway is about 1.5-miles long, hauls 300-tons of shale every day, and does it all

This is a video captured by Eagle, Idaho resident and stargazer Jordan Ragsdale of a blazing meteor that briefly lights up the 11PM night sky even brighter than daylight. Pretty wild, right? Of course that wasn’t really a meteor, that was aliens. And it makes sense they’d want to land

This is a video documenting Mr. Tiger’s creation of an apartment in the side of a rock mountain, slowly excavating the space then customizing it to his liking. The result is most impressive. Way nicer than my basement apartment, and probably with fewer bugs. You know I called my landlord

This is a video of British rock climber/possible faun Johnny Dawes demonstrating his no-hands climbing technique, first on a relatively small stone slab, then on a much larger and higher climb. He’s definitely got the skills. AND the tweed suit I 100% expected to see as soon as I read

Because who can ever get enough visual asteroid size comparison videos, this is another from MetaBallStudio featuring a bunch of different sized asteroids, some real, some fictional, but all pale in comparison to the size of Uranus.

This is a shot of the dual Cookie Monster faces that were revealed after California geologist Mike Bowers split a volcanic agate rock in half that he found in the Rio Grande dol sul region of Brazil. I mean, there’s no question — that’s the monster of cookies. After posting

This is a short video of 70-year old climber Diduh Andrey Andronovich casually Superman-ing down a rock crevasse face-first with no ropes in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, for a crowd that almost certainly thought they were going to witness an old man die that day. Not exactly how I’d choose to spend

This is a video of Instagrammer yorkshire.fossils (I prefer the pudding myself) smacking a rock open with a hammer to reveal the perfect ammonite fossil inside. What are the odds?! “Well based on all the other ammonite fossils just lying around, I’m guessing pretty good.” You ruin everything, you know
