These are two slow-motion videos of a cymbal’s vibration of the pins in a pin art toy after it’s been struck. Man, pin art toys used to be EVERYWHERE in the 90’s. But mostly at Spencer’s. People wouldn’t hesitate to pick one up off the shelf and push their face

Because everybody’s idea of a fun weekend with the boys is different, this is a video from Destin of Youtube channel Smarter Every Day (I’m the opposite) getting a group of his buddies together to pit eight different brands of string trimmer line against each other, tournament style. That slow
