Because who hasn’t dreamed of piloting their own AT-AT walker through the side of a neighbor’s house, this is a video of engineer James Bruton constructing his own roughly 7-foot tall rideable AT-AT. It moves at a snail’s pace (even slower than in the movies), but I would still proudly

Because who couldn’t use a healthy dose of heartwarming news *squeezes IV bag for a bonus serving* this is a short compilation video of animal advocate Joe Kay letting shelter dogs know they’re being adopted.

This is a video of Youtuber Frankie Lapenna riding what he touts as “the least likely to be stolen electric bike of all time,” an e-bike that looks like an assembly of high voltage electrical boxes when not in use. The bike lowers itself down on its wheels when parked
