Because some people have all the fun, this is a video of Slow Mo Guys Gav and Dan shooting cue balls into ballistics gel at around 360MPH using a mini cannon. So, if you wondered what I wish I was going to be doing this Labor Day weekend, the answer

Because ‘I wonder what that would look like in ultra-slow motion’ is the name of the Slow Mo Guys’ very lucrative game, this is a video of tattoo guns doing their thing to transparent blocks of synthetic skin, filmed at 20,000 frames per second. It looks pretty much just how

This is a video of Slow-Mo Guys Gav and Dan joining Scott of Kentucky Ballistics to fire some massive .577 Tyrannosaur rifle cartridges into ballistics gel at extremely close range to see the deformation and damage caused in ultra-slow motion. Obviously, these aren’t the bullets I’d want to get hit

This is a video from Darren Dyk of Youtube channel Beyond Slow Motion featuring a bunch of skilled fingerboarders (including himself) performing tricks, filmed at 1000FPS for some ultra slow motion goodness. And what goodness it was! Except for the song he chose for the soundtrack, I’m pretty sure that

This is a side-by-side-by-side-by-side comparison of a cigarette lighter being lit, shot using four different Phantom highspeed cameras, capturing the action at 3,200FPS, 5,300FPS, 8,300FPS, and Matrix-speed 28,500FPS. That 28,500FPS footage doesn’t even look real. *touching earpiece* I’m being told it is though. “Who was that?” My fact-checker. “Wait —

This is a video of the Slow-Mo guys attempting to skip bullets across the water in an aquarium like stones across a pond. That’s cool. Maybe not as cool as my stone-skipping skills, but with the perfect rock I can get three or four bounces sometimes. Without the perfect rock

This is a video of a man who looks like he goes to a climbing gym very briefly wearing a water balloon for a hat, filmed in ultra slow motion. The way it conforms to his head but doesn’t pop, that’s wild. Watching the footage at regular speed you wouldn’t

This is a video of several snapping and mantis shrimps snapping/boxing filmed at 11,000 frames/second and producing cavitation bubbles (created when the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid’s vapor pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled “bubbles” in the liquid). Even filmed at such high
