Because this is the internet, here’s a surprisingly worthwhile compilation of dancer and Youtuber Smac McCreanor performing interpretive dances to a variety of different objects getting absolutely crushed by a hydraulic press (courtesy of the Hydraulic Press Channel). I finally managed to get Al Gore on the phone to ask

This is a timelapse video of talented and seemingly appropriately named sculptor Leonardo Ugolini sculpting a proportional replica of the Millennium Falcon out of sand (plus BONUS Barad-dûr/Eye Of Sauron and Hogwarts Castle). Very nice. You know I made a sand castle at the beach once, but then some kid

This is an impressively shot and almost hard to believe video of gymnast Oleg Chernyshenko infinitely backflipping his way down a steep sand bank at Cape Kiwanda Beach in Oregon.

I mean among

Presumably to promote the new Space Jam movie, this is a video of basketballer Tristan Jass performing some sort of spinny over-the-back layup trick-shot that can only be described as “How did he do that?” and “I would have broken both my legs.” Honestly, I think I may have sprained
