This is a clip from the Discovery Channel’s ‘How It’s Made’ detailing how balloons are manufactured. So, if you were ever wondering how balloons are born, watch and be amazed. I imagine it’s relatively similar to how condoms are made, but with far less stringent quality control standards, which is

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.

In sweet jeans news, this is a video of Yotuber Mad Russian Scientist demonstrating the fastest way to empty a narrow-necked liquid filled container without cutting in half with a ninja sword or smashing it with a hammer — by swirling the bottle first to create a vortex inside. This
