This is a video of E.A.R.L., an industrial bowling robot developed by the United States Bowling Congress (and what a Congress it is!) to test bowling balls. E.A.R.L. has managed to bowl perfect games, but has yet to bowl 3 perfect games in a row. There’s always room for improvement

This is some helmet-cam footage of skier Leonhard Rombach competing in the Inferno Rennen 2025 downhill race, the longest in the world, and reaching speeds over 60MPH in the process.

This is a best-of (or, perhaps more accurately: most dangerous-of) video from speedrider (a gliding parachute + skis) Carl Weiseth featuring some of his most insane flights. That is not how I want to die. I don’t want to be poisoned either, so put away that vial. Not that you’d

This is a video of the last 7-minutes of the 2024 World Chess Championship, in which 18-year old Gukesh Dommaraju of India defeats 32-year old Ding Liren of China after Liren make a fatal mistake with his rook, leaving his bishop trapped. Going into the game, the best of 14
