This is a video of professional inline skater Ilia Savosin (previously seen riding office chair wheels like skates) testing the pair of vacuum cleaners he modded into rollerblades. I don’t think they actually vacuum anymore, but I had no intention of doing my chores anyways. Could you even imagine what
Inspired by Flint’s spray-on shoes from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (I love the possibility of rain AND pasta), Youtuber Jlaservideo decided to develop his own spray-on shoes. The result is pretty impressive, and both water and fire-proof. He also makes some spray-on pants and shirts. Come on, no
Captured on video by the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s remotely operated submersible SuBastian, this is the first ever video of a colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) in its natural habitat. The juvenile squid was filmed at a depth of 600m in the South Sandwich Islands (I love sandwiches) about 1,100 miles northeast
These are a couple videos of Prince Rupert’s Drops being crushed by hydraulic presses (the first actually bends the metal of the press and doesn’t break, in the second video they explode in a supernova of glory). What are Prince Rupert’s Drops and why are they so indestructible? READ AND

This is the worthwhile (read: I would take the time to watch it) music video for OK Go’s ‘Love’, which was filmed as one continuous shot and uses a bunch of industrial robotic arms holding mirrors to create different imagery in fun and innovative ways. Would I have stood in
This is a video created by Joseph of Joseph’s Machines (previously) in collaboration with Dr. Squatch hand soaps of the automatic hand washing machine he constructed (not actually a Rube Goldberg machine because it’s powered). Does it look like a medieval torture device? Kind of. I especially liked the stuffed
A partnership between Anchorage Solid Waste Services and the Alaska Zoo, this is a video of a group of Kodiak bears testing the bear-resistance of a new trash can. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the cans stand little chance against the massive 700+ pound bears. These aren’t those bears in the commercials that
