In damn that’s huge but still much smaller than the real thing news, this is a video of Youtuber Ramy RC flying an absolutely massive model airplane version of a Boeing 777X. The incredibly realistic replica measures 10 meters (33-feet) long and has tons of features of the actual plane.
Because the internet, just like an unruly 3-year old, refuses to sleep when it should, this is a video from the Bell Bros of Sesame Street’s Big Bird (plus Count von Count) edited into Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 avian horror film The Birds. The whole thing is set to Outkast’s 2000

This is a clip from a Monster Jam event featuring 10,000 die-cast 1/64th scale monster trucks being released down a launch ramp simultaneously. Now I’m not one to be nit-picky (just kidding that’s all I am) but it looks like there were several lines that got caught on the track
