This is a video from the Diesel House museum in Denmark of its still functional B&W 2000 8-cylinder diesel engine starting, which was the world’s largest when it was built in 1933 through the 1960’s. The gigantic engine measures approximately 81 feet long, 41 feet tall, weighs 1,400 tons (almost
This is a video of a man demolishing an old brick building in the rain (hardcore!) when the chimney falls on him, presumably because he demolished whatever was holding the chimney up. Obviously, there was cause and effect at play here. That’s an important thing to remember whenever you’re doing
This is a vintage 1988 clip from the Minneapolis–Saint Paul talk show Good Company, where hosts Steve and Sharon Edelman (who reminds me of Shelley Long) discuss the opening of an exciting new Italian restaurant in the area: Olive Garden. They run through the location and menu, before delving into

This is a video from animator Tomosteen featuring his character Mr. Bone (who appears to be a legless gorilla skeleton) preparing a pizza. The time that must have gone into making this is most impressive. That’s real dedication. And remember: you can’t spell dedication without dead. You catch my drift?
This is a video of angler Andy Moore retelling the story of how he unknowingly discovered a 90-million year old fish fossil in the Missouri River during a fishing tournament. He’s very animated in his storytelling. Those waving arms (especially at 1:25) speak volumes. One about either being overexcited he’s
