This is a video of thrill-builder Bob “Rocketman” Maddox (previously: his jet-powered go-kart) taking the ACME Jet Skateboard he built out for a ride. Man, Wile E. Coyote is so jealous right now. “Admittedly, a better idea than I had,” I imagine him thinking to himself while unlacing his roller
This is a video of a man doing his best impression of drunk me snacking on the sofa and demonstrating a clever peanut butter and crackers eating hack: scooping peanut butter on both sides of a knife, then sticking it to a cracker, then flipping it over and sticking it

This is a video of a Missouri man in flannel trying to saber the top off a champagne bottle with a bowie knife (I know, it sounds like just a bunch of unrelated words strung together), and doing it just about as poorly as possible. Honestly, I didn’t even know
This is a video of a horn player spiritedly holding an infinitely long note using a circular breathing technique (breathing in through the nose while blowing out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks). One of their bandmates humorously comes over to try to stop them before the
